I have finally made it possible to see how many ratings there are on a recipe. If you hover your mouse over the stars, it will tell you the average vote and the number of votes.
The recipe sort by rating was previously pretty useless. I have made a lot of experiments with this and have finally settled on a method that makes sense. The sort by rating should now work in a meaningful way. For those interested I have implemented a sorting based on the Wilson score confidence interval for a Bernoulli parameter ;-)
Flavor ratings are presently unaffected.
Also when you click on a username, it is more clear from the list, that all recipes are by one author :-)

I think there may be some minor calculation error, or I got it wrong. For example, when making a recipe without aromas, your calculator yields:
- Amount to make: 100 ml
- Desired strength: 16mg
- Desired PG: 40
- Deisred VG: 60
- Nicotine: 52mg
- VG content nic: 100%
- PG content nic: 0%
Result:
- Nicotine juice 52 mg (100% VG) 30.77 ml
- PG dilutant: 40 ml
- VG dilutant 29.23 ml
This is the way I calculate, correct me if I'm wrong (using same input as above):
- total liquid ml = 100
- total nicotine ml = 100 / 100 * 1.6 = 1.6
- total PG/VG ml = 100 - 1.6 = 98.4
- we got totally 1.6 ml nicotine, and 98.4 ml PG/VG
- Total VG needed: 98.4 * 0.6 = 59.04 ml
- Total PG needed: 98.4 * 0.4 = 39.36 ml
Finding the amount of nic. base needed:
- 52mg VG : 1.6 / 5.2 * 100 = 30.77 ml
The amount of VG in nic. base is:
- 30.77 - 1.6 = 29.17
So, we have added 29.17 of pure VG from the base. Additional VG needed = total VG - base VG:
- 59.04 - 29.17 = 29,87
Result:
- 30.77 ml 52 mg VG base
- 29,87 ml VG dilutant
- 39.36 ml PG
total: 100 ml
Well, the reason is, that I don't exclude the nicotine from the mix. Strictly speaking your mix is 39.36% PG and 59.04% VG.
Furthermore, if you add flavors, you choose either PG, VG or other - And I calculate everything of those flavors as that, even though we know that a fair amount of the liquid is in fact not, say, PG. The problem here is that we simply don't know how much is actual flavor and how much is suspension liquid.
I acknowledge that your method could be seen as more correct, but I do believe that it is fairly normal to include the nicotine as part of the suspension liquid. And as you say yourself, the difference is very small.
That said, I would definitely consider changing my calculation in the future, but I don't believe it has a big significance.
Thanks for your comment! :)
That's correct, the percentages is 39.36% PG and 59.04% VG.. but when speaking of PG/VG, we normally talk about ratios, percentage is not that interesting.
Yep, there is a problem with aromas, as we don't really know the amount of PG/VG/alcohol etc in them.. so this will probably never be exact science anyways.
And yes, the significance is probably not high in this case. I am making a calculator for Android (for fun, learning the platform), and I compared my results with yours.
Anyways, great site !
Thanks! And thanks again for your comment. I have thought about it in the past, and I still am open to changing my calculation. So I just might do it, in the future :)
Good luck with your android app! I am considering doing a cross-platform app that works with the site! But I have so little time these days, so who knows when I will get there :P
Nicely done! My only suggestion would be to have the same thing with the hovering on the stars work on the results page as well rather than only on the recipe page. If this is already on the way or just not showing up for me yet then disregard. Good job either way.
Which result page is that? I might have missed something :)
I meant just the main page of recipes. It's working now! at the time I could only see the count if I went to the page for the specific recipe.
So did some ratings get messed up? I had my stuff rated on my page, and now all the ratings are gone.
Ratings on private recipes are going to show up soon - Nothing has been lost :)
