I changed it and went into one of my old recipes and it changed it for me so I don't have to re-enter my old recipes.
I’m still using an abacus and pen and paper lol. Guess I’m going to have to break down and put them in. At least I can print them out and make notes on that until I get a final recipe. Old habits die hard
Yes,don't they??I’m still using an abacus and pen and paper lol. Guess I’m going to have to break down and put them in. At least I can print them out and make notes on that until I get a final recipe. Old habits die hard
I won't go any more than .5 with the Granola,1.0 Rum and raisin and maybe 3-4% PB and 1% Marshmallow??
Interesting. Might make mixing by weight easy. Something to think about. Thanks,TinMan
Hardest part would be listing my recipes on ELR.
So... I have all my recipes on ELR, used it from day one. The flavor stash on the other hand... I only have about half my flavorings input with cost. That's nice if you want to know exactly how much your finished liquid costs.TY @uthinkofsomething and @TheTinMan! Problem solved
Adding cost for pg vg and nic is not in the flavor stash by the way, that is done through profile.
I would be more than happy to walk you through it, or one of the many friends here that use it. Once you set your defaults: PG/VG ratio, nic content, and so on, every time you pull up “create a recipe” that data is present. The main issue is time. If you have 50 recipes it will be very time consuming. Each flavor and it's percentages have to be added.
If you feel comfortable talking by phone send me a PM and I will give you my number. Right now I have to start getting ready for work but I will be available the rest of the week from 9AM to 12PM EST.

I wish I had a scale to send ya but I PIF’ed a couple last year. I’ve been using this one for a few years

A lot of folks that mix by weight seem to like this one. It comes with 2 calibration weights and the catch bowl is awesome and easy to clean after mixing.

I hadn't given it much thought before but am considering getting a scale. ELR will do the calculations so it would be nice not dealing with the syringes.
@hittman , I'm new to DIY and am SO glad I saw a video detailing each method before I dove in. I'm lazy, busy, and a full-time working Mom (let's not forget the psycho anti-vaping husband)... I ain't got time for syringes! I immediately bought a scale instead of a bunch of stuff that needs to be washed, dried, and replaced from time to time. 
BTW, I just bought a T-shirt that about says it all:
"Please Don't Ask. This Weekend. Next Weekend. Every Weekend. Hockey."

I've never mixed any way other than with a scale. It just made sense for me from the beginning.
I'm not nearly as serious about mixing as many of you folks, though I come here every day to read what you are up to. I mostly do one- and two-flavor mixes with low percentages. I have all my flavors added to "flavor stash" at ELR. In fact, I've just updated it with about a dozen new flavors that had not been added. One of the great features of the site is the "what can I make" button. Once you have your flavors listed in the stash, it will find all the different recipes you can make with what you have on hand.
I've been so simple-minded about my mixing that I haven't utilized that feature nearly enough. I'm going to start using it more, though.

I just like pen and paper, no apologies. I’m sure putting it on the computer is more efficient etc etc, but for me, it’s so bloody time consuming. I’ll put in my finished recipes and those of y’alls I don’t want to lose.
I've been doing that, too, @MikeADore . I made a few mixes from ELR that weren't total fails that just need a bit of tweaking for me. Currently, I'm marking those recipes that I can make, that seem simple, and are along my flavor preferences as favorites, so I can go back to them later.
I have a lot of notes in Microsoft Word that I have to figure out the best way of being able to sort them all to better utilize them going forward.

We’ll mix up a tester and see how that turns out
. What do you think for steep time? Haven’t used rum raisin or granola before
I write all mine down too. Heck, I am so low rent, I make my base out of cupfuls. Seriously it's great. Also, last mixing session I used a TEASPOON some of the time because it actually exactly mimicked 10% flavor and you know what? As I was organically adding drops or just swirling in flavors and whatnot, well, they are all turning out GREAT so far (although to be fair, these were some tried and true).
My recipes now literally read like, "A half teaspoon of X, 17 drops of Y." LOL. It's working for me, I feel more like a cook than a scientist. I was a good scientist but I like cooking a whole lot more.
If I'm not gonna use my CALENDAR option on my phone I will not be putting my recipes on some computer site.
Not going to happen. I mean.... It's great and fantastic and all, I'm sure. But I will NEVER do it.
Although I must say there has been so much granola and cereal talk, I feel compelled to order some. Although I don't much care for them IRL.
I just payed 1457 dollars when I thought I was just gonna get my dentures repaired. The dude was pretty upset with the state of my implants (me too kinda) and my bite and stuff. He stole my fake teeth all of them, I tried to go back to work but my lower denture was making me bleed and it HURT because my lower implants do work (but not enough he says) so was like, "I am not going to work to talk slowly and tragically as I bleed on my clients." First day of PTO so far, kind of liberating.
