HI all,
I am starting this thread in the hope that better understanding of the use of Specific Gravity OR the lack of it can determine the outcome of a recipe.
It does not matter if you mix by volume(ml) or by weight(grams) as it can make a difference if you are using a online calculator to break down the % of ingredients.
Specifically we are talking about nic, pg and vg. It is generally accepted that flavors use a 1 to 1 conversion so that is not in dispute.
Please stay on topic because this is not about whether one way to mix is better or worse than the other. It is about determining the weights and ml of any given recipe so that by mixing
EITHER WAY should both be equal in the amount of ingredients used in a recipe.
For disclosure purposes only--I mix by volume(ml). When trying out mixing by weight I found discrepancies in the volume of the final mixes. That is the reason for this thread. Why was the amount made with weight less than when I mixed by volume?
I suspect it is all in the way the online calculators do the math. Again, I am talking any online calculator as I have found the same results with more than 1.
Any and all replies welcome. Please keep replies civil and remember ECF rules. Attack the post --not the poster.
