Flavor base calculator

submitted over 9 years ago by RolxR

Hey guys, long time lurker here. I see a lot of confusion about pre-mixing your recipes and ratios of flavors to use and whatnot. I am making a PC app which calculates what ratio of flavors (inputting percentages from a recipe)to use and how much of each ingredient you should put for x mL for making premixed recipe base. It also calculates how much juice would that amount of flavor will make, and how much should you use for ejuice batch of your chosen amount. The formulas were easy to understand and i think the tool is handy for people who premix their recipes. I've added functionality of saving recipes for future use and re-tweaking the flavorings or the final amount. If you are interested please comment and i'll post the application for you. I just have some minor bugs to fix. If you have anything to recommend feel free to tell me and i'll try to add them to the app

The third calculator in the sidebar already does this. What is the difference between the one I linked and yours?

The difference between mine and the calculator that you linked is that mine calculates the ratios not for the ejuice itself (pg/vg, nic) but for the pre mixed recipe just for the flavorings, that you can store in a bottle, so when you want to mix up an ejuice, you dont have to weigh out each ingredient, you have premade a recipe already that you put in a bottle ex 10% and then add pg/vg and nic

That's what I'm saying. That calculator let's you create a flavor base from your recipe. I'll attach pics in a second.

Edit: Here are the pics. I just used an example of a strawberry banana recipe using 7% strawberry ripe and 5% banana cream then saved that recipe as a flavor base.

Are we going to ever link to his actual site http://diyjuicecalculator.com/?

This is where I go to download the calculator now instead of the forum we currently link to.

I just followed the link in the sidebar, but I've also only had to download the calculator once.

Before he put the Automatic Updater in, I used to have to go download it all the time. It is the best, though.

ELR also does this, just click the blue wrench and select "Make flavor base" :)

Use it all the time. Have you considered making it so you can save the flavor bases? I think a lot of the skewed results on "average" flavor percentages are because people save their bases as recipes.

There are quite a few "stones", or flavor bases saved as regular recipes. I might enable saving them as a base, to account for that...

I use the calculator listed, it does what your talking about. However it makes a concentrate based on an existing recipe. Maybe your talking about a better process for that.

Edit:Spelling

It's the same process.

The process is same. I can't check this calculator at the moment because I'm on my phone and I don't know if it says how much juice will you make from the given amount of base, or how much you must add for a batch, mine has those and i think it's an advantage (lol) Anyways I'm in no way competing with this great piece of software. If anyone wants to check out my app, I'll be able to upload it tomorrow.
