Hi! I'd like to invite everyone to visit http://www.mixejuice.com, a new e-Liquid calculator I made.
Features
- Free!
- Automatically corrects most mix problems
- Fluid, responsive layout
- Create & share mixes with links
- Save recipes to local storage (no account necessary)
Mix eJuice lets you mix up a recipe in a very short time by providing clickable values to the most common measurements. It will automatically adjust your VG/PG ratio if necessary to prevent your recipe from "breaking". Save a link to your mix and bookmark it for later or share it with friends!
Update 7/18/2017: Fixed a bug where the VG/PG ratio wasn't being recalculated after increasing the target nicotine strength.
Update 7/20/2017: New Feature: You can now save your recipes to HTML5 local storage. Note: Recipes are stored on your device and will only be available from that device.
Update 7/20/2017: Enhanced Feature: Copying a link to your recipe now uses Google's URL Shortener service to greatly reduce the length of the recipe link.
That's an incredibly functional and easy to use interface. It seems tailor made for a beginner. I'd love to see it replace dot1ml in the sidebar or at least be included in the list.
I wanted to make it as easy to use as possible. I hate clicking on input controls and manually entering values so I tried to eliminate as much of that as possible. I also tried to put the focus on what really matters to the mixer: the amount they want to make, the strength, the desired VG/PG ratio, and the flavors. Having the VG/PG ratio automatically adjust in many scenarios definitely helps a beginner mixer but it's also a nice time saver for those who have experience mixing.
The UI is beautiful and the functionality is great. Good job.
But... People want to save their flavor library and their recipes. The copying the link thing that is basically a formula for the recipe isn't going to work well.
I realize that may cause database/server overhead that you aren't prepared for. People aren't going to use it if they aren't invested in it and it's not invested in them.
Just some constructive criticism. From a design standpoint though it's absolutely beautiful.
Thank you!
This is just the first version of the app. I have a lot more I would like to implement including everything you said and more. I have some really cool ideas. Time and money is the only thing stopping me from implementing all of it right now. But I'm optimistic that you'll see all these things in the not so distant future.
Your link includes a comma
It did for me too idk why downvotes
It's following me to other threads so I can only assume I have a fan club now. It's probably that bob dillhole guy
Not for me it doesn't. Odd.
Strange. It wouldn't load until I deleted it. But good job on the calculator. Love the interface and it's very pleasing to my eyes. Good job on including weights as well. Anytime someone posts a link to their new calculator they leave that out.
So how do we save recipes? I really like this UI for mixing on my phone, but the link just bring me back to the default calculator settings, not the recipe I made.
Edit: nvm I see it now. This is why I didn't at first
When you're done with your mix just click the "Copy Recipe Link" at the top and a URL to your mix will be copied to your clipboard.
This is something I plan to make more intuitive in the future.
Note: If you don't see the "Copy Recipe Link" you're probably on a phone. I need to update my navbar to make this visible. I'll have this fixed in the near future.
If the site gets enough support I will add a back-end to it to save your recipes to the server, manage all your flavors, and much more.
Awesome! I figured it out when I turned my browser to desktop mode. I will be using this for sure. Will recipes always be saved like this (in the URL)? I wasn't expecting that giant URL when I copied it to a friend(who also likes it). Not a complaint though.
I'll be donating too!
Edit: I must've missed where you addressed this in your comment. Derp
Does it have a doubler calculator for us Aussies? I'm having trouble finding a doubler calculator that gives results in weight.
If your doubler is 100% PG or 100% VG just add it as a flavor. The app doesn't allow the user to specify an exact PG/VG ratio for the flavors at the moment so if your doubler is 50/50 then my calculator will not help you. I might add this functionality in the future.
Site looks great from mobile. My only critique is that the %,ml,g is a little confusing on mobile because it appears I have selected an option but then it doesn't show up. It's green but light great underneath because really I deselected it. Also I'm not sure if I'm just blind or if it's not showing up but I don't see a share button from mobile (iPhone 6 on safari). Even on the tour it highlighted a square that should've been the share button but it wasn't anywhere to be found. Great site though looks great & I will definitely be using this.
Nice. Very nice. I don't like not having my old recipes handy but that's pretty unavoidable. I will be keeping this handy for sure. I might ask for 1 and 2mg final mix percentages?
You can manually enter any amount you want, or use the slider control (visible when there is enough screen space). The buttons are just for quickly selecting the most common amounts.
I agree with most of what everyone has already said. It's a great layout and simple to use, but it's going to be difficult to get people to use it regularly if you can't store your recipes. As someone said you need to have people invest in it to make it worth their time. But it sounds like that's part of the future plans, which is great.
One small thing I'd like to see is the "Copy Recipe Link" to automatically shorten the URL. It'd make it easier and less messy to share the recipes. There are tons of free URL shortener sites out there that could be used to accomplish that.
Very very nice! An idea would be to add the option to use VPG, so you don't have to combine the VG and PG values :)
Thanks. I'm not sure what you mean about the option to use VPG. Do you mean allow flavors to be 50PG/50VG ? If most aussie doublers are 50/50 that would probably be a good idea.
For the base, I use a bought mix of 70/30, and when I calculate my recipes it's sometimes a hassle to put the values for both VG and PG together. Hope this explains it, english isn't my first language. I know there probably aren't many others that do this, but the feature would make the calculator easier for me to use :)
Nice job! I would definitely start using this over ELR... Do you have plans to import recipes from your competitors websites? (I punch in a url to a public recipe on ELR and your site scrapes the recipe and puts into your database)
Also, the one thing thats kind of nice about ELR is how the flavors are saved in a large database so as you're typing the flavor suggestions show up. Then if you are playing with a new flavor you can check what other flavors it is commonly used with. Do you have plans to do anything like this in the future?
I have some bad news. I was working on the functionality to import recipes from ELR but it's not as easy as you would think. Because of the single-origin policy in the web application security model, I can't send an AJAX request to a different domain.
I tried to circumvent this by using a PHP proxy to do the cross-domain request. Unfortunately, ELR has additional security measures in place that requires a cookie be set in order to view a recipe. I don't know of any way to get around this at the moment.
Well I'm not too surprised. I figured it would come down to creating the database and filling it with user data over time.
The bright side is now your site doesn't rely on ELR so if they make changes or shut down, your site would still be functional
Well it would never "rely" on ELR. I just wanted to add the ability to import recipes from ELR into Mix eJuice to make the transition easier for those that prefer to use Mix eJuice. I could still implement this through some type of copy, paste, & parse method but that's not nearly as clean as just providing the URL to the recipe.
RemindMe! 2 weeks
?
You can now save your recipes locally! A server-side solution will be implemented in the future. For now, this should do the trick for those that do their mixing from one device.
You could save on overheads by allowing us to link to a cloud storage account and store recipes there. They would then be accessible on any device.
I appreciate that it would have to be post account implementation but it's just a thought.
Yeah, that's something to consider. Off subject, are you able to see this thread on the subreddit? It's not showing up for me anymore which is a little discouraging as I like getting the community involved.
from a visual standpoint it looks great. easy to read, easy to understand.
are you planning on adding anything else to it? like a list of recepies, or a list of flavorings?
I'm working on adding some predefined flavor brands to the database. All I'm adding is the manufacturer name and a short identifier as the key. If you have any that you would like to see added to the following list, let me know.
ID | Name ---------|---------- tfa | The Flavors Apprentice cap | Capella Flavors fa | Flavor Art flv | Flavorah fw | Flavor West jf | Jungle Flavors fe | Flavors Express lor | LorAnn ina | Inawera lb | Liquid Barn hg | Hangsen nf | Nature's Flavors
Hey dude, awesome tool! Thank you very much. I wanted to let you know that you accidentally wrote a comma right behind the link, so at least on mobile it doesn't work. That's not too much trouble typing the URL manually but maybe you'll change it for a easier redirect.
Vape safe.

I've been using this calculator for a few weeks and it's my go to calculator now. I love it! Id be happy to support this app with $ Edit: will be donating tonight
I like this calculator and started using it. There is one problem.
I added an account added a list of ingredients and started using it, I made a few recipes and all was great till I recently added a few new flavors from a different vendor. Now when I go to select the flavor for a new recipe the dropdown list is not displaying properly it shows only the last 5 flavors from the first vendor and one flavor from the new vendor I recently added. - I hope you can fix this calculator as I enjoy using it. As a side note, I would like to be able to back up and save my recipes to my PC as well. I was planning on donating to assist in development.
I was able to continue using the app by deleting the new flavors and re adding them with the first vendor in the entry.
Hi. I'm the developer of MixEJuice. I'm sorry you experienced issues with your flavors but I'm happy to hear you were able to work around it. I have no current plans on updating the app. The same version has been online for 5 years now. I've never had any issues with it myself, but I never really used the flavor management part of it much.
I always wanted to make 2.0 version with public recipes, ratings for recipes and flavors, offline access, and more, but just haven't had the time to get to it. I'm not sure if there's even a big enough community anymore to make it worthwhile.
Thank you for this app and response. What you say makes sense, The sad thing is the competitors out there are attached to E-liquid sites packed to the brim with ads hard to see and are no where near as astatically pleasing as your app. I wish it had taken off. I am visually impaired and your app is very easy for me to use and see. I am grateful you made this awesome app. If you could have made it available to use offline I would have gladly paid for a copy.
