YIKES !!!

[Letitia]

Thanks everyone. You've all been so helpful. As my brain starts coming out of shock mode I'm able to think a little better. My thought this morning was to start with a small batch (30ml). @Letitia you're right. If it works out I can keep the rest refrigerated and even do other things with it later. It's a custard juice, so I can add a different flavor here and there to give it some variety. If I did the math correctly, by the time I'm finished with the original "disaster" I would have made a total of about 1200 mls. I used the recipe calculator at ELR and changed the numbers on the original recipe. Lol, I really stepped in it this time!

Honestly I think the best advice you got was on elr, enter as a flavor in you recipes like you would a stone.

Custard is very versatile. You can go a lot of different directions and it gets better after a long steep. Shouldn't be hard to use it up. I do mostly custard and tobaccos so I steep my juices for a long time and make large batches. Usually around 2500 ml of a variety of juices (primarily custard stone and 2 tobacco bases.) 300ml is not a huge deal. When I get down to 300 it's time to mix more. Which reminds me...

@muth The 300ml you have already made cost no more than $5 by my estimate (100 ML usually costs me about $1.75, with flavorings and the bottle making up the bulk). PG & VG cost under $10 a gallon. Is it worth the headache to do these calculations and make an additional 900mls? How much do you vape a week?

I try not to make more than 120 ML of any one recipe on a given day. Flavors might fade, the recipe might not come out as expected... small batches of 30 or 60 ML are a great way to do DIY allowing for variety and easy to store grab n go sized bottles. You could scrap this bottle and start over... its a learning lesson and the second go round will help remind for future batches.

If you are ready to dive deeper, here is my complicated suggestion. It might be hard to follow immediately but it really is as easy as trading Marvin Gardens and Baltic plus 2 Railroads for Boardwalk or Park Place. Also, search youtube for FRESH03 or New Amsterdam Vapes as well ad DIYorDIE videos. Frsh offered over a year of how to vids that take you through the creation process.

Look at e-liquidrecipes.com. There you will find a plethora of choices to make and information on the flavors you own, or might buy in the future. Search recipes by typing your favorite branded vapes for clone creations. Many exist. Or search by your flavor stash to see what you can make. There calculator definitely will help you fix the batch on hand if you decide to do that. YES, break it into a few smaller bottles. Add the vg needed. What you have made could be considered a 'ONE SHOT' which is something premixed that is later aded to a recipe. Hold the 300 ml as is and used as the starter for new batches. You will have to add more flavorings when you do that for if you begin with 30% of a one shot, that will only offer 30% of the original flavors used. So you need to add 70% more of the initial flavor %'s (if you added 5 Sweet Strawberry, the one shot would only account for 1.5% of Sweet Strawberry and that means you need to another 3.5% to the new batch... I'm just winging my math, the calculator will solve it all.

Create a recipe on elr using the numbers from this first go. Save that and next hit options on upper right of recipe page to see "Create One-shot". Add the One-shot to your flavor stash as a single flavor. Next create a new recipe with the correct numbers of your starting point recipe. Add the one shot as an additional flavor to that recipe. By doing this you will find that elr calculates exactly how much more of each flavor you need.

Yes, I'm an ELR member and have this recipe in my files. I usually make 300 mls of this at a time. It was just a faux pas on my part what I did. Thank you for your suggestion. I also thought about considering this as a one shot. Your instructions are helpful.

It's used like this:
View attachment 812271
1. enter a name for first (PG) mixture
2. enter the amount of PG mixture (mL) you want to adjust
3. enter the PG e-liquid's nic strength (mg/mL)
4. enter the PG percentage of the PG mix

#5 through #8, are the same thing, except with the values appropriate for your all-VG mixture.
NOTE: in my example, the PG/VG ratio (#8) is reflecting a 5% PG flavoring. This can be altered according to actual total flavor percentage used.

Once #1-8 are all filled out; click on the "agree to terms of use" box (not shown in screen shot; but will be located immediately to the left of the "Calculate" button), and click on "Calculate."

The results will appear below.

Thank you! That's very helpful instructions on the calculator. I wouldn't have figured it out on my own.

Just want to thank everyone for their help. I was able to take in all the suggestions and come up with the exact percentage of what I needed to add to fix my blunder. I made my first batch the other day and it smells good. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Remember a good steep can be your best friend. Portion out this one large yikes into 6 bottles and try to let each steep two weeks more than the last. Take notes on the changes to flavor depth over time. Is it weak, robust, or has something faded. Good to know questions.
