What do you look for in an eliquid calculator?

submitted almost 9 years ago by 510Threaded

How it's accessed? (Desktop, Web, Mobile)
A list of saved recipes (instead of having to load a recipe file each time you want to switch recipes)
Export to file for backups
Printing
Any ideas?

I'm not actively looking for anything in an eliquid calculator anymore...Alltheflavors has it all wrapped up. I will continue to pay for the service with how fast he is to add and fix things.

Came here to say this.

If you want an idea of what to make, look at AllTheFlavors, than make an offline version. That's the only thing it doesn't do.

Anyone just do the math themselves?

Yeah. But I only mix in 10, 30, and 100ml bottles.

Yup, for no other reason than to retain that skill set :P In my head as far as it will take me, then a regular calculator when it gets complicated.

I absolutely love vaporcalc for android. It's simple and I can add recipes to my backup cloud on mega. It also has an ohm calc, a coil calc, and a unit converter. My phones rooted so I'm always changing roms so backing it up is essential. I didn't really like all the flavors, why fix what's not broken? I like to be able to make a recipe at the drop of the hat without having to mess with a bunch of drop down menus. I do appreciate the social aspect of all the flavors, but I'm more of a solo mixer.

Which phone? I ran Pure Nexus on my 6P

Nexus 6. I'm going to put tcm14 (android 7) on my phone soon, I'm just always get so nervous backing shit up. I tried using recovery and backing up my roms before and it always has issues loading them. So I have to use my backup pro and manually back it all up which blows.

Go with Titanium Backup, it's worked for me on backing up everything

Two questions, for the app you mentioned, can you import recipes? (curious since it will backup, wondering if I can take all the ELR recipes I have and import / move them over)

Definitely looking to sign up for ATF (paid) membership soon, I'll need to look if you can import from the various ELR output methods. But also commenting in case perhaps you know.

One way or another, I've got way too much on ELR that I want backed up somewhere, might just have to export them to Google Drive for safe keeping for now... I have maybe 60-70% printed out, but certainly have a lot more.

Basically how www.chukr.xyz is/was.

specifically how it had practically every flavor + sg baked into the database. batch recipes were easy to read. it has a random recipe generator. inventory tracking.

Just because I'm lazy and haven't used chuckr in a really long time: What feature does it have that ATF doesn't?

by billgarmsarmyalmost 9 years agoMentholatier

two main things for me (but they don't matter because chukr is shutting down):

weights for almost all flavors are baked into the flavor database. i know a lot of people don't care about using sg, but i've never used 1g=1ml for flavors.
I prefer the way the batch recipe page looks on chukr vs. atf

i really don't like the atf ui, but that's my problem not a problem with atf.

oh, it also had a substitution chart, which came in handy sometimes.

There is an option in the settings on ATF to use sg. I've never checked the box so I'm not sure how many of the flavors it actually has sg's for in the database. Why use sg, though? I mean I use it for VG flavors, but beyond that I don't know why people would feel compelled to break a near universal standard for +/-.04g

It should definitely calculate.

I can do basic math so I don't use one
