Oh my, I wasn't suggesting not to inquire of anyone else, so sorry if it came out that way. Besides it seems that maybe I did not understand totally on what PID actually wanted.
That is a awful lot of pie flavoring if you asked me. I cannot imagine more that maybe 2% based on the volume of the bottle but you are increasing overall volume by 14 ml. That is almost half of a 30 ml recipe. Def not what I thought you wanted to do so maybe I mis-read what it was you actually wanted to accomplish.
LOL….I just threw numbers in as a proof of concept. That is not the recipe I was working on. And the Banana Cream to Banana Cream Pie is just one example. But if you want to maintain your original flavouring percentage, it needs to be adjusted accordingly should you wish to add more flavouring.
This is the link to the most popular calculator used (I think) It's the one Joel uses and it's freeJudging by the Optimistic ratings, I will assume no such calculator exists?
How do people modify their existing mixes? Or am I just thinking way too far outside the box? Which is entirely possible
You make 20ml, vape 1.5ml of that but feel the flavoring needs to be adjusted. How do you go about performing such task with a level of accuracy? Or you just change your mind with a recipe but wish to incorporate what you already made into something new. Example: I made a Banana Cream, but after sampling a bit of it I feel it would do better as a Banana Cream Pie. I wish to maintain my percentages but add the needed flavours to create the “pie” part.
Ok….working on a Excel calculator!
New Calculator to try
Thanks. I have that calculator, it’s useful but as far as I know it does not perform the calculations I was looking for. Unless it is buried in the features somewhere and I have over looked it.
What I am trying to accomplish can be done with the usual calculators, just takes some fudging with the numbers. Thought there might be something simpler, easier to use. The calculations are not complex, I quickly whipped them up in Excel…just my sheet is not as polished as some of the calculators we use.
Did you look at the Tools-Modify Existing Recipe or Edit-Adjust Flavor Percentages?
Worst case, I'd Edit-Copy the recipe and play.

No disagreement on that at all. But I considered the flavoring and kinda knew it would be a totally small enough amount there was probably room within the frame of a 30 ml volume to hold it. If you did ingredient to ingredient comparison between the old and the new, the amounts would be very small.

Just added all my newly ordered flavors to the flavor stash list. I'm at 310
I’m right there with you. With my bcf orders I’ll be right around that 310 mark also. The 310 doesn’t include the handful of bulk bottles I have.
I never tire of hearing I’m not the only one with a problem, lol! Hopefully you’re better at using all your flavors than I am. At least I’ve transferred 90% into small amber Boston rounds but there’s a lot I still need to use

Thanks. The Modified Recipe feature assumes you are making a new batch at a prescribed volume. Messing with the numbers you can accomplish what I am looking to do but was hoping for something simpler. The Adjust Total Flavour Percentage does not allow adding of a new flavour(s). Banana Cream to Banana Cream Pie
We seem to be past that, I think the stage was met when we just decided to go with the flow and accept those things we could not change. New recipes call for new flavorings sometimes and of course we all want a great ejuice to vape. Plus we are honing our culinary skills. lol okay that may be reaching a little bit........I digress.....

Darn.. It was worth a try. Can you fake it out by adding both to the recipe and then adjusting the %?
Joel may have another idea. There's a reason I don't claim to be the guru
The deviation will scale depending on what your original mix is and how much you wish to add. Punching in some numbers, if you had 10ml with 15% flavour, you need to increase and adjust by 5ml in order to accommodate an additional 5% flavour. But that same 10ml with 7% original flavour would only require 3ml of additional ingredients to accommodate an additional 5% of flavour. Both examples uses 70%VG.
Think I got that right….running out of fingers to count!
Still agree. Now you see where I assumed(which I should not do) that 30ml was the base volume in which I usually mix my flavoring and that is where I went to. That volume with adding an accent flavoring(which are usually pretty small amounts--can be as little at 0.25-2%) allows room within the 30 ml overall volume. I am not saying to not add any other additional flavoring but again, I still think you are talking very small amounts to add back without increasing it over 30ml. Remember you still have a margin of that 1.5ml you already vaped gone to fill.(which is 5% of a 30ml volume).

Nope. I’ve got a ton that were never even opened. I bought many to try in certain recipes but never got around to making them. I have yet to try the two grapefruit flavors I just had to have. Someday I’ll get around to trying them. There have been some I bought and didn’t try for a long time then saw newer recipes and was glad I had them.
I realized tonight that I had been entering my flavor orders on elr but hadn’t entered the last three flavor orders into my spreadsheet on my computer. That could have been a bad deal if elr went down for some reason.
In addition to the orders I entered that I placed this weekend (I’m being proactive now that I’m inspired again by being on ECF), my flavor amount increased by 10 just from an invoice I discovered that I hadn’t entered in my disastrophy I call my womans cave [emoji23]
LOL. Non of us actually claim to be a guru, It is done automatically by post count in ecf. Of course I think we can change it to whatever we want, but not totally sure about that.Darn.. It was worth a try. Can you fake it out by adding both to the recipe and then adjusting the %?
