Need a little advice please!

[CaptainDucky]

I recently stumbled across a recipe for one of my most favorite childhood drinks, "Orange Julius" and I will post it here. The advice I need is that in it you will see %s and they do not add up. When I put them in the ejuice me up calc it gives me negative numbers and I haven't been able to produce a working formula. If some of you gurus on here would be so kind to help out I would appreciate this! I am going to post exactly what I found so please don't hate on me..hehe

70/30 pg/vg 6mg 30ml

10% orange
30% orange cream
40% vanilla
20% marshmallow

Any help would be awesome.

I think they mean % of the flavoring not the actual percentage you add. If it was me I would play around with the percentages till I have it like I like it. An example (remember I am just guessing since I haven't made this) I would do it like this maybe to start
3% orange
6% marshmallow
10% orange cream
15% vanilla

Or any combination you think might work .... if its too low then try higher combinations next. Sometimes its fun to experiment with the juice and flavor and hey if it doesn't work you only dump 3 mls.

Figure the standard amount of flavoring at 20% of 30ml. Then figure the percentages you have listed above out of that amount. That would be a good start. So 40% of that amount you figured would be vanilla and so on. Hope I'm making sense here. There is a section of the ejuice me up calculator under tools called flavor percentages that can help figure the amounts.

Suppose you want to make your ejuice with 20% flavoring.. pretty much standard

20% of your 30ml would be 6ml. So you are going to make up 6 ml of flavoring
... 10% Orange would be .6ml Orange
... 30% Orange Cream would be 1.8 ml Orange Cream
... 40% Vanilla would be 2.4 ml Vanilla
... 20% Marshmallow would be 1.2 Marshmallow
........Totaling 6ml
To use a juice calculator,
If you want to use X% flavoring, then your percentage is:
Orange 10% of X
Orange Cream 30% of X
Vanilla 40% of X
Marshmallow 20% of X
This is what you would enter into the calculator as flavor percentages.
I hope I haven't been too boring, but this is what you need to do

Moved to DIY E-Liquid from E-Liquid Recipes...not a recipe

For what it's worth, the real world recipe for an Orange Julius is 2 cups OJ (or I do pineapple), 2 cups ice, 1 cup milk, half cup sugar. I made Pineapple Juliuses this Monday (though I used more ice and more sugar, cause I like it that way.)

Ok...so when I use the ejuicemeup it tells me I cannot have negative numbers by putting in the percentage.

So I will mix up my flavorings separately then how do I use the nic juice and pg/vg to go with it?
Or am I off on this?

 

[klynnn]

What is the nicotene strength of the nic concentration you have? ie 24mg 48mg 60mg that you will use to make this? Also what is the pg/vg content of your nic base?

 

[glassmanoak]

Mix your flavorings together and you will have a bottle of "Orange Julius" flavorings. Use one of the juice calculators and put in how much you want as your final volume. for example, 15ml. Put in your desired nic level and the level of your base nic juice.
If you want flavoring at say the 20% level, then enter 20% as your flavoring. You don't have to enter everything seperately. The calculator will tell you to mix X ml of nic juice, Y ml of base juice and Z ml. X, Y, Z should add up to the total ml you wanted to mix.
This is my favorite calculator:

If you need more help, you can PM me and maybe I can call you
Good Luck!
