I will let the experts chime in on this as I am new to all this as well! but what I am going to do is input the weight of my nicotine based on the fact that mine is cut with PG. I bought my nicotine as 60mg with a PG base
I'll use weight to adjust my mixes for vaping. I figure it would be very helpful if this program would figure out my correct density of my Nicotine base.
Does it show anywhere in the program what my current "Version" is? (ie. 2.1.0.40)
You can rename ingredients in the Manage Ingredients window. You can select "Butter Rum (LA)" and rename it to "Butter Rum - LA". All recipes that contain the ingredient will reflect the new name of the ingredient. However; when renaming an ingredient the program will not allow you to rename the ingredient to a name that is already being used.
Many users have taken advantage of the import feature and when using the import it is possible that some recipes will be imported with an ingredient called "Butter Rum (LA)" and other recipes will be imported with an ingredient called "Butter Rum - LA". From the programs point of view these are two different ingredients because of their unique names. Prior to the find and replace option the only way to address the duplicate ingredients was to pull up each recipe that referenced one of the ingredients and change its reference to the other ingredient. The find and replace allows all recipes that contain one reference to be changed to the other reference and then the unreferenced ingredient can be deleted.
I am trying to understand the need to see if there is a way I can address it. Although I had added support to the calculator for mixing by weight a few months ago, I only recently made the switch to mixing by weight/density instead of by volume so I am still learning the ins and outs of mixing by weight.
It might be splitting hairs but it is my understanding that all ingredients could have a slight variation in their weight even if they have the same PG/VG ratio. Flavor X from one manufacturer could have a different density than the same named flavor from another manufacturer. Because of this, I thought that I would allow the user to specify the weight of each ingredient when they add it using the manage ingredients window.
If I am understanding you correctly, it sounds like you are recommending that the weights be automatically calculated based on their PG/VG ratios? Or at a minimum, automatically calculate the weight of your nicotine ingredient based on the PG/VG ratio? My fear in doing this is that it might take away some flexibility. The program currently allows for (example) you to say that your ingredient is only 90% PG and 0% VG. It could contain other forms of dilution where the PG+VG doesn't equal 100%. That could generate a problem if the program is trying to calculate the weight. What weight would it use for the remaining 10%.
Yes. I worry over my human error in setting my Nicotine Base's density. Not 100% sure of the figuring. When I acquiring Nicotine it's 100 mg @ 100% PG. I like being accurate in many aspects and using ml's for adjustment of a Nicotine mix kills me.
Again, I am new at mixing by weight but what I did to setup my ingredient weights was I zero'ed my scale with the weight of my syringe. I then put 5 ml's of the ingredient in the syringe and got the weight. I divided the weight by 5 and used that value in the calculator. I figured that using 5 ml's instead of 1 would help reduce any errors caused by my bad eye sight in viewing the measurement lines on my syringe.
I compared my results to yo han's blog and found them to be the same or only a very small difference.
Yea, my eyes not up to par also... yet, having a third one would be like having a bad seat driver. Anyway, thanks you very much for building this program. Figuring the correct density based on one's own acquired mix may throw some in a fix or off in their desired mix. I haven't look into how much a difference a few mg would make with different percentages of PG/VG; figure to kill time later.
As again... thank you for a nice Christmas gift of a program.

Thanks HotRod! Cannot thank you enough for the global Search & Replace!
Would it be difficult to add a Destroy replaced tick box? That would save the final additional step to Dbase cleaning!

Yes small, when the mix is PG based. Looking at a drop of .002052 in density going from 24 mg to 100 mg.
Now if the mix has VG your way out on the density. Haven't started on the pogramming of percent of VG within an acquired mix.
But hey! I expect the weighing to be more accurate than use ml and all the glass!
I don't plan on wasting time with a hydrometer. I want the amount figured before it hit the scale!!
Ok... billy bob may start using the progam! Are you a Billy Bob...? Just enter a density in your nicotine in the dilute progam. PG VG it don't matter, (the Billy Bob way) How much are you off in your Nicotine strenght when your done? Can you be sure of your own method if you don't know the correct variables to enter?
Pg of 100%? VG of 100%?
How many of us... can not figure the density of any variable with in this progam?

I close now. Folks will figure I'm rambling. Maybe your sure or you just poke in pie. lol
Dilute nicotine.... Density figured of 100 mg 100% PG = 1.0333. Now, 100 mg 100 % VG = 1.2358.
Why fret! When all play fiddles?

Personally I'm not going to split hairs on the Nic, since I'm already trusting my supplier to be accurate, and a mg or two isn't going to matter much in mixes any way.
Well. Everyone is seeming to knick pick over a flavor, recipe sorage and such (trival, yes no or what ever) ....why not get the guts fixed!
