Howdy everyone, I've just recently gotten into the diy scene with e-juice and I've been experimenting with some simple recipes. I've been keeping a little note card with the bottle after I mix that has the percentages of each flavor but this got me thinking as to how others on here manage their recipes.
ELR, Jump Drive & Huge notebook.
+1 for eliquid recipes.com, that's what I use.
It's the only one that I've ever tried, but I can't think of any reason to use something different. That site is just fantastically well thought out.
I'm old school. I got me a good ol fashioned notebook that I write my recipes down in. If I'm creating a new recipe idea ill jot it down on scrap paper til I get the final recipe down, then transfer it into my "recipe book"
As others have said e-liquid-recipes.com along with alltheflavors.com are two great recipe sharing/online calculators that you can store your recipes. If you have a dedicated laptop/PC that you are by when you mix I would highly recommend the advanced download calculator that's linked in the sidebar (I forget what it's called but I'll edit it in in a few minutes) I much prefer this calculator as you can keep track of inventory along with the ability to see how much each bottle actually costs. It's been very helpful to keep track of what I need to order but it's only a good option if you're going to have that computer near you when you're mixing all the time, if not I actually have my recipes saved on e-liquid-recipes.com incase I need to access them on my laptop.

IMO, it's the best by far and I keep it on my laptop since that's what I use when mixing. There is also a portable setup you can install if you use it on more than one computer, so it care share the data
edit: the sidebar should be updated with this link, rather than the outdated ECF one it currently shows.
Thank you for the help! Was at work so I didn't get a chance to edit it in yet, I'll have to check out the link and update mine and also do the portable setup and download it on my laptop. I'm always annoyed when I can't use my PC to mix and have to look on elr/atf on my laptop. Only thing now that would be awesome would be a phone app!
I use Juice Calculator, print the recipe to PDF into Google Drive and look it up on a tablet by my mixing. Then I "make it" on my PC to have it remove the inventory. Love it.
The android app '~~Ejuice Me UP~~' 'E-juice Lab' is what i use. I really like it and it keeps things organized. Allows for notes and categories so it makes for keeping track of different revisions easy.
You sure you're not mistaken ? Ejuice me up is a very minimalist pc app and this yields no results.
I co-sign. I used to use steam engine and type it in each time. What a pain in the ass. Ejuice lab saves me so much time. It took a bit of work to set it up, inputting all the flavorings I have then inputting all my recipes, but I can pull any recipe up on the fly, type in how much I want to make and it's always there and ready.
So for me, I do most of my note keeping in my e-juice calculator (E-Juice Me Up) that way all of the notes are saved specifically to their recipe. I realize now that I'm this deep in to it that it's probably not the best method. I think probably the best would be a one note document or excel sheet that you can have different fields and tags for your recipes/flavors.
As far as posting online, I've found ELR (e-liquid-recipes.com) to be the best place for a recipe depository while ATF (alltheflavors.com) is the best place for a recipe showcase, if that makes sense.
I think though, as long as you take detailed notes that you can find easily that is the main goal here.
Welcome to the DIY Scene!
Have u made a "symbolic link" to Dropbox yet?
I use e juice me up and that was the only way to get it to add to Dropbox.

Android app, e-juice lab for 90%. The other is made up from notebook scrap paper sheets and an ever-growing txt file on the computer for ideas, opinions, recipe attempts etc.
I use ejuice lab for development and ATF for finished recipes.
A work of caution do not use the batch notes to record your findings. Only the recipes are backed up. If you reinstall and import the data you will lose all of your notes. I found out the hard way.
ELR and ATF are both great resources, though I'm one of the two outliers on this sub that use dot1ml for recipe storage. I use an iPad at my mixing station and find dot1ml's interface to be the cleanest and easiest to work with on a tablet screen.
ATF for a record of my flavourings, recipes I can make, and what I've made. A black sharpie to mark on bottles I fill (yeah it rubs off but I go through a 120mL in under a week so I easily remember what each bottle contains).
I'm on a Mac and created a Numbers spreadsheet that functions as both a recipe keeper and juice calculator. Each recipe is a separate table, and I can change ingredient percentages or add/remove ingredients and everything automatically updates itself. "Global" settings like base nicotine concentration, mixed nicotine concentration, mL to mix, etc. are in a separate table which all of the recipe tables pull from.
I use a excel file which i set up to do what all the calculators do. But its really nice cuz i just put it onto my Google share drive and i can access it from my desktop laptop phone or if i go somewere and someone whats to kno what kinds of recipes i have there all on my phone as well.
this calculator is great, the one in the sidebar
http://diyjuicecalculator.com
does absolutely everything, combine it with a Dymo Labelwriter 450 and some 19 x 51mm labels and you have a complete mixing / ingredient management and labelling kit for next to nothing
I have the portable version set up and running in 'portable apps' and sync it to google drive and a USB drive, so I can have it pretty much anywhere, not that I tend to mix elsewhere, but it's good to have all your data backed up.
Also have done the 'export to excel' which makes an excel file of all your recipes, ingredients, notes etc good to keep a copy on phones etc
