Why are DIY calculators different? Which is best?

[John Phoenix]

I just put the exact same numbers into the juice Me Up e-juice calculator http://ejuice.breaktru.com/ and this one, e-Liquid Calculator They give very different results for amount of ingredients.

I do not have a lot of flavor with the juice me Up, but the one on the website would have had me add more flavor to the mix ( it calls for more nicotine too!). Perhaps I should have tried that one.. anyway.. what's the difference in the way the two work?

If these things work off of percentages, then one or the other has to have a major flaw someplace it seems to me.

John could be drop size and the online one is default to 50mg/ml on the nic

I concur. In ejuicemeup you should be able to adjust the drops per ml or turn it off and use ml. I personally think that using drops is bad form and prefer to measure. With that said the math isnt terribly hard so I don't use either anymore.

Thanks folks. I was trying to make 1 ML test batches of 5 flavors so I needed to use drops. I didn't wanna make a lot ( 3 or 5 ML) of each one yet in case I found I would need to adjust it, get used to the calculator or use a different calculator. This would be enough for me to vape a couple of cartridges full each to find out what I needed to do to each one.

Actually I think I'm gonna try again in a couple of weeks when I can taste these flavors better and just stick to my tobacco flavor for now.

Another item to check is the VG/PG ratio as it will change the recipe quite a bit. The more flexibility you have in a program, the closer you have to check each field.
