I wanted to let you know that I love this calculator. The only thing that I would like (but I'm way in the minority) would be some way to turn off the setting of mixing to specific nicotine, pg and vg levels.

What I mean is, I make a base that is just a little higher in nicotine and vg than I intend to end up with. So right now it is 22 mg/ml 60/40. Right now, to use my base and just add flavors I have to fiddle the desired nicotine/pg/vg to get where I'm going, but it would be way easier just to use the base and flavoring and have the program tell me what the end proportions are.

I don't know if that made sense, but, for example, on the last recipe I made, I had increased the flavor percentage, and then had to wobble the target nicotine to 20.37, and the pg % to 62.80, and it takes a fair amount of fiddling to get there. I don't know if there is any practical way to do this, but thought that I'd toss it out.

Hi HotRod. I don't have excel installed on my home computer. I use OpenOffice that will open and create Microsoft excel files. Do you know of any work around so that I can export to OpenOffice or just export as an Excel file?

Thanks
I am working on something now that will create Excel documents without the need to have Microsoft Excel installed. I hope to have it completed within the next couple of weeks.

Unless I don't fully understand the calculator will already do this.
1. Add a nicotine ingredient as 22 mg nicotine and 60/40 base.
2. Create a recipe and select the new nicotine ingredient that you defined.
3. Specify a desired nicotine level for the recipe of 22 mg or greater.
4. Add your flavor ingredients.

The calculator will tell you the resulting recipe amounts although you may see a couple of warnings such as "Unable to add enough nicotine to meet desired level".
If you want to get rid of the warnings, modify the "Target Nicotine" of the recipe to the amount of nicotine shown in the resulting recipe amounts.

Thanks. I hadn't thought of just specifying a higher nicotine level. Sometimes I'm a little slow.

Version 5.0.0.3 is now available. The only change was adding the ability to export to Excel using the "Open XML SDK" which should support Open Office.
Please let me know how it works, I have office installed on all of my PC's so I don't have an isolated way to test it under Open Office.

Use the "Tools->Export to Excel->Using Open XML" to have the recipe/ingredients exported to a .xlsx file. Open Office V3.0 and greater should open the .xlsx file.

Not quite, close though. I like the right click menu a lot. A good paste would be formatted like this for me:

nic(100mg)-5.4ml-108drops-18%
pg-15ml-300drops-50%
vg-8.1ml-162.drops-26%
ingredient1-0.9ml-18drops-3%
ingredient2-0.3ml-6drops-1%
ingredient3-0.3ml-6drops-1%
totals-30ml-600drops-100%
18mg nic per ml - 60%pg - 40%vg

I have just made a new version available, V5.0.0.4 and I encourage you to download this version.
JulesXsmokr discovered a couple of issues that can trigger your juice file not to open.
- One scenario is related to illegal Xml characters being placed into your 'Notes'
- The other scenario is related to creating a recipe where 100% of a single flavor is specified.​

This version makes allowances for the scenarios described above.
