DIY Android App

submitted about 10 years ago by demitrixrd

I have decided to move to production. Anyone interested can find the app here.

Looking for some people to help test and populate my Android app for DIY eJuice. Here's a link to the Google+ community to get access. https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.demitrix.vaperecipe

For those of you that wanted mixing by weight I have added it. I am unfamiliar with this type of mixing it would be great if you could check the numbers. As of right now each flavor has a SG of 1. I haven't had time to find the SG of over 1000 flavors, however the nic base, pg, and vg should all be accurate to the best of my knowledge. For the time being you can switch between volume and weight by tapping on element of the batch. I will be pushing this update soon. The app should be version 1.2 or better for this to work.

It would fantastic if possible that most feedback done for the app is posted to the Google+ group. It gives me a centralized area to keep track of issues and requests.

If this has a mix by weight functionality you can count me in. It would be the first (that I could find) android app to have that.

Edit: Hey guys, thanks for the suggestions, I'll check them out BUT I never meant to hijack this post and have people literally posting competitors. I guess this is what should happen now.

Right now it is by volume. I am most familiar with mixing that way, will definitely research doing it by weight and look into adding it.

E juice lab has it. If you don't pay for it, you can only store like 5 recipes though. I think it's 99 cents for the paid version.

3 without paying. And I believe the values of VG and PG weights are near identical to what is listed in the sidebar guide, but can be adjusted for each ingredient. The dev is very quick to respond to emails as well.

Any chance this calculator has built in densities for individual flavors?

No, it's 1.036 unless you change it manually.

This. as well as the option to set a default weight.

This could be done by having the app draw from a source file, I'm pretty sure there's a Google doc or something out there with all the densities.

Liquix is what I use. It does weight, volume and drops.

I like liquix because I can keep track of all the flavors I have when I'm not home if I want to tinker with a reciepe.

I have an Inventory feature that shows your current flavors and quantity. Whenever you make a batch it will adjust quantity and if you try to make a batch that requires too much of a flavor it will alert you.

This is the one is use. It's nice and simple and let's you store recipes. The only thing that I don't like is that the advanced calculator requires that you put at least 2% water in the recipe, but since it's by weight I just add that to my VG so it's not a big deal. The simple calculator doesn't do that so my guess is that it's a coding error.

Started looking into this, I am wondering other than the few flavors I have seen SG for, do you just default to a SG of 1 for PG based flavoring? It seems this is how most calculators handle it and only the VG or nic base really need the calculations. Am I entirely off base?

When mixing for yourself or friends defaulting to 1 is fine.

If you want to be meticulous and can't find specific gravities for certain flavors (I have a few that aren't listed) you could grab a syringe, tare it on your scale, fill it to 1ml and weigh it, there's your specific gravity ;)

Will try to implement mixing by weight today. Stuck on the UI for it right now.

Tried to set up an account and the password set up is fucky. Says I need at least 6 characters and I've tried multiple times already with caps and numbers.

Just a side note—the thread title would have caught my attention sooner if it said something like "Testers wanted for my new Android DIY app". As it is, I assumed it was yet another post of someone asking what app to use. :)

I don't know how other people reddit, but thread titles sure make a difference to me. Like email subject lines.

I just sent a request to join the beta channel. I'm anxious to see how it looks.
