There is at least one and maybe two specific mini calculators in the software that will help you do the mixing of different nic level juices. I really like this calculator, and would recommend it highly to you. It's well worth the time and effort it would take too to install it.
New Calculator to try

I don't pretend to be rude or something especially because I don't have deep understanding in copyright's legislation.
The files from ejuice Me Up are stored in my computer. This calculator only converts them, which I find very useful since I use both.
Is it really going against copyright laws?
If so, I would manually input them... case closed?!
Note: Bear in mind that this is an honest and sincere question and English is not my native language, so excuse me in advance if the tone wasn't the correct one.
Now there is a real "adult" in the absolute classic sense of the word as it applies to a mature, stable human being. I congratulate you, hotrod.
Hi all. Maybe someone can help explain the PG/VG calculations? I made a recipe and I got the "desired VG level could not be reached" warning. I wanted 50/50 but in the results it came out to 50/49. Where is the other 1%? This was with the volume calculation checked. I read the help section but still am a bit confused on what is really going on with this. Thanks for any help.

One or more of your ingredients does not contain a PG + VG = 100% value. The calculator will calculate the PG/VG values 2 different ways depending on a selected option. Go to the "Tools->Options" and at the bottom of the "General" tab there is a checkbox for "Volume Calculation". Uncheck the checkbox and the 50/49 value will change and the warning will go away.
See the description I provided below. It contains a little more detail about the issue you are seeing:
There is a simple fix to the issue you are describing but first, let me give you the long answer
Some people, I am probably one of the few, want to know their actual PG and VG percentages. For example if you were to add 10% water to your recipe I want to know that my PG = 40% (not 50%) and my VG is 50%.
Other people, most of the people, always want their PG + VG to equal 100% even though it contains non PG/VG ingredients.
In the Tools->Options on the General tab there is a check box with a lengthy description. On the bottom of the window. You currently have it checked. Uncheck it.
PG + VG can never be more than 100% regardless of the option which is why you see the values automatically adjust when you make the values go above 100%.
With the checkbox checked, you can have less than 100% PG+VG which is why it doesn't automatically adjust when decreasing a values.
Make since?
Thanks HotRod. You were correct. When I had entered my EM into the ingredient list I forgot enter the PG%. Now it makes sense.

BTW I will leave it under the default volume calculation.

I think I may be doing something wrong as the calculator wants me to add 1/2 non nic pg/vg to 36mg of nic to make 22 mg nic &80/20
Dont know if that made sense. I have 250ml of 36mg nic 100%PG. I want 22mg nic @ 80Pg/20vg.
Does the calcultor think all my PG has nic in it? A sit wants me to add almost 50% of non nic to 36mg nic to get 22mg nic??
I know its user error on my part, not blaming the calculator or is this correct?

Ok. Let's do the math.
250 ml nic base * 36 mg/ml = 9000 mg total nic in base.
9000 mg / 410 ml = 21.95 mg/ml in final mix.
So, the dilution is correct.
410 ml * .80 = 328 total mls of PG needed.
328 ml PG - 250ml PG in the base = 78ml additional PG needed, so this is also ok.
410 ml - 328 PG = 82 ml VG needed. So this is good.
250 ml Nic base + 78 ml PG + 82 ml VG = 410 mls @ 22 mg/ml and 80/20 PG/VG ratio.
Don't see a problem here. The mix shown on the screen looks correct to me.
ratchet62's breakdown of the calculations is exactly right but I wanted to make you aware of another method to do what you are trying to accomplish. See the "Tools->Dilute Nicotine" option. Screenshot below with your numbers entered into it.

Yeah, Hotrod's simple calculator he is showing is the best way to do it. I didn't have ready access to the software last night, so I did it manually.

Today I've used the merge recipes tool, with some leftovers I had. Awesome tool!
I have a suggestion, don't know how hard it will be to implement, so here it goes:
- Can you add a "preview of final recipe" to merge recipes tool? I would like to see and adjust the quantities to add of my leftovers in order to achieve x, y, z percentage of each flavor in final recipe, before I save it.
I had to save and delete like 10 recipes before I get the flavor % I wanted in a specific flavor.
And btw, this calculator rocks in pure awesomeness!
Thank you.

Hello,
I've read through some of the pages in this thread, but not all. It's pretty long. Question please.
My niece has tried unsuccessfully to download the calculator to her iphone. Should this be possible? Or is she just doing something wrong?
She wants to make juices by weight.
Thank you for any help you can give us.
best regards, larry mac

I just made V3.1.0.13 available with the only change being the addition of a preview of the resulting recipe when merging two recipes.@HotRod

Look at this and see if this provides what you were asking for. Remember, it is only a preview of the resulting recipe and doesn't allow updates to be added.
Thank you Sir!
That's exactly what I was asking.
Now one can see and adjust the quantities to add before actually save it. You can beforehand see if it would be worth to try the merge
Several mixing methods, prices, merging, print labels, you name it. This calculator has it!
This is THE calculator! IMHO.
Thank you. That explains it. Please excuse my lack of knowledge with computer stuff. One more question if I may.
So I have the calculator downloaded on my windows laptop. Does it now have to be WiFi connected to work? ie, could I take it somewhere with no internet access and still use it?
Thanks a lot for the help!
