Percentages for Flavorings?

[nomorewords21]

So, I'm checking out some recipes on here and a lot of them tell you to use 60% of "a" flavor, 20% of "b" flavor ect.. The problem is.. I am not so sharp on my math skills.. haha. The next problem is that I am a Mac user which means no e-juice me up calculator for me... So.. I'm not sure how to figure out what percentages of each flavor I would put into a e-juice calculator like this ... E-Liquid Calculator Ten Flavor's With Nicotine Plus PG/VG Adjusting because this calculator is asking for the whole percentage of flavoring in the juice. I'm not sure if I'm explaining this right but, any and all help would be sooo appreciated. I've been racking my brain forever Thank you!

I only DIY Cinnamon flavor, when I use any flavor that is. I rarely use more than 10% flavor in my blends. JMHO

I think that what the recipes I'm reading are saying that say you do a mix that has 20% of flavor in it that 65% of that 20% would be one flavor and 20% of the 20% would be another flavor and so on...

Chocolate banana milkshake
All flavorings are TPA.

50% banana cream
25% double chocolate
25% Graham cracker

Mix at 15% with base

You have to decide on the total flavoring you will use first. Say you decide to start with 10% total flavor and you are mixing 3 flavors together. You might want to put 5% in for the flavor that you want to taste the most. Then maybe 3% for another that you want to taste in the mix and maybe 2% for a final flavor that you want to barely taste. Something like that if it makes sense. In other words, you want to split your 10% total flavor up by the number of flavors you plan to use. This is another simple calculator if you are only using 1 or two flavors eJuice Recipe Calculator

Good luck!

you can use the simple calculator on that site and if you decide to start at lets say 10% flavoring just think of the 60% flavoring as 6% of your ten percent in the calculator. If this is your first time mixing start with single ingredient mixes to see what flavors you like and at what percentage.

Yeah, this is the way I think of mixes so it makes perfect sense to me.

15% with base means 0.15*10ml (10ml is what I'm going to make)=1.5ml of total flavoring.
50% banana cream * 1.5ml = 0.75ml of banana cream
25% double chocolate * 1.5ml = 0.375ml of double chocolate
25% Graham cracker * 1.5ml = 0.375ml of Graham cracker

Double check 0.75+0.375+0.375=1.5ml, yep checks with the 1.5ml of total flavoring I calculated at the beginning as 15% of my 10ml juice.

I'd probably go with 0.38ml of the two lesser flavorings because my measuring device is graduated at 0.02ml, but it should be close enough.
