I fear I've used the wrong word all this time in my recent questions. It's manufacturer I meant, not vendor i.e.; The Flavor Apprentice, Flavor Art, etc.
So sorry.

Can you setup the manage ingredients the same as add ingredients, referring to the autofill method.
Also any suggestions for an affordable scale? Did a little searching here, and other places, and it did not yield many choices other then cheap china stuff, which I'm a bit reluctant to invest in.

Good idea ccwaters, I just finished making the change but working also working on a change to increase the "grams" display to a precision of 1/1000's grams (rather than 1/100's). I also started making a change to allow for tracking the ingredient manufacturer but that is going to be a more substantial change and is going to take me some time. I might make another version available before I complete the manufacturer change.
I wanted to get an "affordable scale" but ended up spending a little more money than I intended after researching the various scales. But.. I really like the scale that I got. The link to the scale I purchased: American Weigh Scales LB-501 Compact Bowl Scale - LB-501 - 885395 - Page 1 | pcRUSH.com. It is a bit pricey ($45) but I am happy with what I got. I wished that I would have switched to mixing by weight sooner, it is so much easier and quicker. I can mix up a new juice in less than 5 minutes and that includes cleaning up after mixing.
Look forward to the update! That scale looks pretty decent, price isn't terrible, Thanks for the info, and thanks for the dedication to making this program even better!
What are U guys using to dispense your Nicotine. I am currently using a 1ml syringe to weigh out my nic. Would like to find a dropper top style jar for my Nicotine that's safe to use without leakage.
Where could I find the link to the newest version? Not a DIYer yet just looking for the best calculator to mess around with till I jump in there. Thanks!
I went to the links but there is like 5 files which one is the one we are talking about?
The one named "Setup" with a version number is the program installation file.
I would suggest getting the ReadMe file too, It explains the workings of the program.
The other files are recipe files that you can open in the program.

Also, once you have installed the app you can click on the "Help" menu item. From there you can get to the download links and you can also view the help document which has a lot more detail than the ReadMe.
I just posted a new version V2.1.0.37.
One of the two changes was to change the precision from 1/100 of a gram to 1/1000 of a gram when displaying and printing the grams.
The other change was related to the manage ingredients screen. You may find it easier to select an existing ingredient and to enter a new ingredient name. Note that if you are accustomed to clicking the "Create Ingredient" button and being prompted for the new ingredient name that process has changed a little. Before clicking the "Create Ingredient" button you should first type in the new ingredient name in the area where you normally select ingredients. When you click the create button a new ingredient will be created with the name that you provided. No additional prompts will occur.

I don't know what could have happened. The program stores all recipes in a single file (XML file), if the file was corrupted you would loose all recipes and not a selected few. Is it possible that you have multiple recipe files (created by doing a "Save As") and the recipes in question were saved in a different file from the one that is currently opened?
Hi Hotrod!
First let me say what an awesome job you have done with this calculator!
I am new to DIY and I just started to look at the program. One thing i have noticed is under dilute Nicotine, where you have your base set to Xmg. In my case i bought 60mg Nic and want to dilute it to 6mg. Under desired levels, it would be great to have a desired amount. Meaning I want to dilute the nic into 50ml bottles. The results section would then tell me how much PG to add
Also it only tells me the ml's to add, what about including weight for those that measure by weight?
Thanks again!
Jeff

Great ideas and I will look into both of them. I just recently starting measuring by weight and didn't realize all of the areas where I was missing the option for weight.
Also , I cant remembder if I have seen it mentioned in the thread, But what about a " Check for updates " in the tools menu?
I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Every time I import the data files it say it was a successful import but nothing comes up on the pull down menu. If I do get it to import, the recipes will be there until I shut down the program and restart it then they won't be there. I found juiceMEup,thinkin I might like it a little better. That last statement is by no means a slam against the creator of the calculator in this thread as I'm sure it is a great tool to work with.
