New Calculator to try

[Jakersvape]

I've played with the Create Flavor Base portion for a bit now, and I really like it. I did notice that when I create an ingredient my pg/vg ratios aren't correct. It puts the ingredient pg/vg ratio as what the recipe it used to create the flavor base was. For example, my flavorings are all pg based. The recipe it came from was max vg, so it was 18% pg and 82%vg. When I made the flavor base it puts the ratio of that flavor at 18%pg and 82%vg, instead of 100% pg.

Thanks for catching that. I will fix in the next version.

I either found another glitch, or I'm doing something wrong. I opened the juice calculator out of the Google Drive on my wife's laptop. I went to options and went to change the volume calculation. I then clicked the save defaults button and it says default directory does not exist. I have a default options xml file in the data folder on Drive. Am I doing something wrong?

On the "General" tab of the options window is a "Default Directory" value. This directory is not used very often. It is used when you do a "File->Save as" and will be the directory initially displayed and it is also used for the "File->Open". Since you are using Google Drive and using the portable installation on multiple PC's, I would suggest that you set the default directory to a path on the Google Drive.

That did it. Thanks again, Rod!

One minor annoyance that I've found in the software that has been there since at least version 5: if I change one ingredient in a recipe, save it, it's not saved exactly as shown. The new ingredient will be at the bottom of the list when I view it later. Like if I closed the program and re-opened it, or just switched to another recipe and then switched back. Now I have to right-click/move up until it's back to where I had it before. Only then does the Save actually stick.

I wasn't aware that this was going on. I just checked it out and I see what is causing it. It will be resolved in the next version I make available.

An additional option I would like to see is the ability to export all ingredients to an excel file so it could be edited (I want to list the ingredients then make a price comparison sheet up from different venders).
On the same note, purchase history of some sort may be nice, as this could show which products are used the most often and allow the user to see whom they have purchased from in the past for a product, not just the last time. Of course the notes area could be used, so it isn't a real issue. But with the purchase history, the use of add to inventory button could be used to add the info into the history database.

I looked in the original link for the calculator, but for the life of me don't see it. The google link is dead, and the drop box link doesn’t list anything remotely saying calculator. Can anyone help me here...please?

I just make a copy of backup 1.xml, save it to a different folder and open it up in excel

There are two ways that you can do this. The second way will provide you with more information about the ingredient.

1. Click on the "Tools->Export to Excel->Using Excel->Current recipe" (or all recipes). When the recipe(s) are exported, all ingredients are also exported and placed on another worksheet in the Excel workbook.

2. Click on "Edit->Ingredient editor", click on the first box in the grid (before the first column title) that is displayed. It will highlight all cells in all rows, right-click and select "Copy". Launch Excel and then paste into Excel.

The Google link that is in the first post in this thread is broken. The current link for the Google download is:

Thanks...I see now it's an .exe file. I was hoping it would be an excel file as I run Linux.

It runs just great in Wine.

As a linux user, I have never missed any windows diy calcs before, as there's online calcs that does the job just as good imho, but I have to admit, that this one really looks nice to me, with it's predefined ingredients list and dropdown boxes for making the recipe! I really dont wanna install wine for just a single app, but kudos to the developer for the nice job im sure he's done.

 

[trueagle]

Thank you for the new flavor base option. I was mixing them then creating the flavor on my own. This is so nice... Thank you

What makes this calculator a little different is the fact that you can measure by weight (or so I'm hoping). Installing Wine is really no big deal and takes up little valuable space.

Can't seem to get it to run on Gnome Ubuntu 14.04 / Wine 1.6.2. It apparently installs but can't seem to run it. Mind you I've never felt the need before to run MS apps in Linux, so I may be missing something here. The program seems to run fine on Windows 8.1 so it's not file corruption.

Yes, the app can be configured to meassure by weight, but that's not really what sets it apart imho(alltough it's a dealbreaker for me!)... E-liquid-recipes online calc does it, Scubabatdan's xml calc does it(v14) and ejuicemeup as well, and maybe others I don't know about... What imho makes it different, is it's pre-defined ingridients list/inventory, and one ejuice-file, so you don't have to enter all the flavors used each time, but just use the dropdown-boxes which lists every single flavor in your arsenal, and e.g. your different strength nicbases etc, and you can pre-define the individual ingredients specific gravitys and pg/vg ratio's, so as the author puts it: "You can spend all your time on the recipe instead of the individual ingredients", or something of the sort ...

I only use unflavored myself, so don't really need it, but I mix to others in the family which does preffer flavored mixes...

I know installing wine isn't a problem, but I just preffer to use native linux apps, and when looking a little more deeply, then there always seems to be a linux alternative, or atleast several apps which together provide the same functionality...

I don't really know about this one though However, I was more interessted in this "theoretically" and impressed about it, more so than it's something that I actually need, or "can't live without". As a windows user, using this app as calc of choise would imho be a "no-brainer"!
