I'm having some issues with this calculator, maybe my fault, so I ended using the same one I've been for long and just doing the multiplications.

My ebay scale worked well and this method (weight) is a breeze. Pouring directly the nicotine solution and the vg from bottles to a beaker, then flavors directly too, adding drops of each until I got the weight of each that I needed. After that, only one beaker to wash...versus a bunch of syringes with the volume method.

Here is a Hot Tip.

Instead of using a Graduated Beaker, use an Erlenmeyer Flask

It does the Same thing as a Beaker but you Mix the Liquids by Swirling the Flask by It's Neck.

That, and the Geek Factor is Off the Charts Cool.

Just a little literacy tip: in most instances in this thread accuracy should be replaced by precision.

Accuracy: correctness
Precision: exactness

Here is a Graphic that I have used when Teaching the Concepts of Accuracy & Precision. I think it is a Very Good Visual Aid.

Also, when one does DIY, being able to perform Repeatable Mixes is to Me the Most Critical Factor.

What does it Matter if a Mix is Not Accurate to an Arbitrary set of Volume or Weight Numbers if the e-Liquid Taste Good?

As long as the person who Made it can Mix it again and Obtain the Same Taste Results.

The absolute best thing for me about using a scale is the no mess no fuss aspect. Especially since I have hand problems. I mix my base up in larger batches and use what is basically a ketchup bottle for the base. I mix into the end bottles, so I just put the base in, tare, add the first flavor, tare, etc. The most I have to clean up is wiping up drips.:D
