I took it apon myself to adjust this abortion of a spreadsheet. I made it easier to read the recipes with color patterns and added a column for percentages. I converted the amounts for a flavor base into a useable percentage to be plugged into a calculator and mixed into a base. The values you see can probably rounded up slightly. Converting volume into a percentage doesn't seem to equate to a even number.
=ROUNDUP(E225/E3*0.1,10)
That is the formula I used. I'm confident the math is correct. Everything but the E225 (Which is the cell number) is a consent and should never change. I had to manually adjust each cell as excel wouldn't keep E3 a constant.
If you notice the cell number doesn't match the formula change it or else the percentage will be off. I double checked my work but no one's perfect.
Were people really having that hard of a time figuring out what percentage 46 was of 100 in a 10% mix*?
^^^It's ^^^4.6
Remember, these are recipes from a company, not someone doing DIY. Companies mix very large batches of eliquid, they don't squeeze half a CC of flavor into a bottle with a pipette.
The company sold, and released, exactly what they said they would.
And then you guys all stole it, and complained.
Shame on you DIY.
Did you expect anything else though? I've seen recipies released that were people's ADVs and we're 2 flavors. Anything like this is a crap shoot. I really liked their sunset cavendish and tropicali milkshake back in the day but with that much sweetener I'll pass on ever trying it again.
It's almost like the Internet is used by different people!
But seriously, as someone who hasn't been up to date with what's been going on with these recipes getting released and have never tried Hurricane's juices, I'm going to say that I won't because of the amount of sweetener used after seeing these recipes.
Yeah, I agree. Populating this sub and other social platforms with their sold recipes is a pretty dick move.
On a side note, I did get inspired to make my own papaya milkshake based on profile. I can imagine a papaya and cardamom type deal being really good.
strawnana with 0.35% banana and 0.35% strawberry and 5% sweetener. How can this remotely taste like strawnana? :)
1.5ml of sweetner in a 30ml bottle 😳... nice gesture from OP but none of this stuff looks remotely interesting.
If you replace E3 with $e$3 in your formulas, it will not adjust position based on where it is. There$ locks the row or column.
The other option would be to name e3 with the text box top left above the sheet (usually shows name of selection).
Thanks for the effort.
I don't really see many making these mixes verbatim. They may be useful for ideas.
I just like to know a lot of diy says too much sweetener cause muted finish product
Now the question is it really true that sweetener mutes ?
Where are the other ones you guys are talking about besides hurricane what other companies released theirs?
It's interesting to compare actual user reviews with these recipes.
Hurricane Vapor on juiceDB
Also they use TFA Cheesecake quite a lot, although I never read anything good about it.
Thanks for the effort! Just a couple of issues with those numbers:
- the formulas always give a 10% of total flavoring, did you choose that amount based on the PG/VG of the original liquids?
- as mentioned by other posters, the amount of sweetener is out of the blue, is that correct? in several recipes the sweetener is 50% of the total flavoring, are we sure these numbers are correct???
The amount to make in millimeters was for a flavor base. So I had to convert that into mixing it straight into a base. You're welcome to check my math but I'm pretty confident that the formula is correct. Or at least everyone who has looked at it hasn't said anything to me yet.
I not criticising on any way your fantastic work mate. I was simply wondering if you had chosen the amount of flavours to sum up 10percent based on any info from the vendor or was just a baseline. Do you know the average distribution of PG/VG on these juices? a high PG juice needs less flavoring. And regarding the amount of sweetener..OMG
Okay so how do i use these numbers?
They seem off or I just can't math anymore
You plug the percentages into a calculator and then you can mix the recipe.
So these percentages represent if I was to create a flavor base and then use 10% of that so if I wanted to use the recommended 15% I would just multiply everything by 1.5
yeah i want to know too. i am really stupid right now. i can't do the math.
like if i want to mix 30 ml of Strawnana i have to:
-
1,5 ml of sweetner
-
0,9 ml of cheesecake (graham)
-
0,4 ml of cheesecake
-
0,1 ml of strawberry
-
0,1 ml of Banana
or what?
so basically the left numbers are ml if you want to make a just flavor mix (30 ml) and then you just add 3 ml (10%. since the right numbers always add up to 10) of that mixed up flavor to your 30 ml bottle.
i still can math i think. just took a time to wrap my head around it
