Riddle me this?

[swhyte22]

Im pretty new at DIY, using the ejuice me uop calc. Ive noticed when I input a 3ml make, it doesnt seem like the output is. I have 3ml bottles, but it fills it to only half? Anyone have an idea to what is going on? Or is it just the program?

Can you capture a screen or the text of a recipe?
I've just started fiddling with the program, and don't see how that could happen - unless you've asked for something impossible, and are getting a negative number or something somewhere...

Train is right. We need you to post a screenshot of it for us so we can see what it's doing and why it's doing it. I've used that program for over a year and the only time I've had any problems was when I accidently put in the wrong number and the math didn't work out.

Ummm... are ya sure those are 3ml bottles? Have ya used water and a syringe to verify volume?

Think my smallest bottles are 5ml... just askin'.

I've experienced and wondered the same thing.

I've got around the "half full" appearance by making 4ml thus leaving enough room for additional additives.

And yes, my bottles are 3ml bottles.

I have 10ml bottles and use a 10ml graduated cyl. to mix in. never fills all the way but consistent to the "curve" at the top.

Sorry I have been away! Had to take my daughter to soccer practice..

Ok so here goes. Looking at the numbers, they don't seem right. I'm working with VG Nic Base, Humco VG, and RTS Vapes PG. I made sure I entered in everything like I should be unless I am missing something.



Don't know if you folks are able to see the picture. It is returning some garbled code to me after posting the reply.

I try to do a 50/50 mix normally for myself and my wife. I have done a 100% VG mix which turned out with the same issue, but I had to wing it and fix it myself in a 30ml bottle.

 

[Hoosier]

What do you measure with?

 

[swhyte22]

I have several 10ml-cc/5ml-cc/1ml-cc syringes to get the correct amount ejuicemeup reports. I also use pipettes for the Capellas flavors I have.

Oh, also, I ordered 10 3ml bottles and measured them out just now. They are indeed 3ml's.

 

[Laughingcat]

Swyte. where did you buy your bottles? I purchased my 3 ml's from Wizard Labs..... Do you think it's possible they're actually 5's?

 

[FinallyQuit]

Bottles come with headspace built in. Not half again the size of the bottle. I bet you got some mis-measured ingredients in your pipettes. Syringes get plunged? Or you plug the end with your finger, measure, release finger, drip into bottle? If so vg really clings!

 

[swhyte22]

Edited my last post.

From your screenshot I notice 1.8 mls of pg plus 1.2 mls of vg, that should equal 3 mls. Are you leaving out the extra vg or pg? If not, the flavors equal only .6 mls, so not like it's noticable to the naked eye, but something is definitely off here.

Good luck figuring this out!

Ok I'm dumb, I'll admit it. My 5ml bottles look exactly like my 3ml but slightly taller? Haha. Grabbed the 5ml first out of the batch and just went at it. Sorry for picking your brains guys. It's late, I should probably give up since I can't see lol.

 

[Train2]

LOL.
Glad the mystery is solved.
I was betting on it being a "drops" problem...

 

[Iffy]

Haha. Grabbed the 5ml first out of the batch and just went at it.

OK, what do I win?

Please don't tell me a pipette!!!

Glad ya solved da riddle!
