Doug Has Questions

@anon70102222, I am. I read the syringes you used to do and how difficult it was. I also see you’re trying to get me to slow down and stop overthinking it (I know it’s probably about to the point you’re pulling your hair out lol).

I’m actually doing it slower than you think. Most of the stuff I do is just busy work.

Are we talking about mixing still?

Cap’s Golden Pineapple is surprisingly good. I was hesitant to use it, as well after finger taste and sniffing the bottle. The vape experience is totally different. I use it at about 4-5%. If you are using lower percentages, I’d recommend you use about half that.

I used it as the forward most flavor in my Juicy Citrus recipe. With Tangerine, Manderin, Blood Orange, Juicy Orange, and a touch of Sweet Cream to ease the throat hit. It’s so good!!

LOL, but no. Sorry to hear you’re on disability @Caped_Conspirathist. I’m not, so I work a lot of hours, and the few remaining hours I have left, which isn’t many, I don’t have time to get bored. I wish I did, but I don’t.

LOL @anon84779643 you KNOW I don’t drop girl.

Well despite going crazy, THAT, could really be an asset when DIY’ing, as many people don’t have enough time. I know I wish I had a whole lot more of it.

Yeah, def. not that much free time.

I agree @Wombatred26. I don’t ever use it alone, and it does pair well with other pineapple’s and other fruits.

Ok. Using your numbers…

And then you start giving varying and conflicting data. It’s no wonder you and everyone else are getting confused (and frustrated)…

Ignoring the above, since the one below is more recent. But if you want help, then you owe it not only to the person/people trying to help you, but to yourself to STAY ON ONE SUBJECT AT A TIME.

You start jumping around, both sides end up losing track. Not only of where they were, but where they thought YOU were. As well as their train of thought in the steps in the ORDER of which they need to follow to help you!

Now, with that said…
You left off here (at least where I’m caught up to reading. And it’s a definitive point, in which we have enough information to give you an example to show that you don’t need to do ANY converting at all.

The above is easily achieved in the ELR calculator:

The only thing you need to do is manipulate the percentage numbers until you achieve the desired grams.

SIMPLE.

WRONG.
Sometimes it’s true (ie: some of us have an aversion to a chemical known as Butyric Acid; smells like ‘baby vomit’ according to some), but for the most part, the smell all too often does not match the taste or scent of the vape. So it’s a dangerous assumption to make as a newbie.

Once you have some experience under your belt, then fine. But you are a long ways from fully understanding exactly what I mean here, because simply using too high a percentage of a flavor can frequently give “chemical off notes”. And that’s no fault of the flavor. It’s part of learning how to use that flavor. And only THAT flavor, as they are all different!

Instead of the trash, consider giving them to another ELR member. Or offer to trade with someone.

Ignore that.
That’s the LAST concern on earth that you should have with mixing at this point in your journey.

This was simply an anecdotal, half whited reference regarding steep times.I thought it would be funny to enhance exactly how new I am to this.I apologize if it offended you.

I consider these contaminated by my environment once opened. It’s a personal preference to avoid others using them once the seal has been cracked. Someone could be allergic to cats…etc. I would prefer to dispose of them. Thanks though. If I find any I haven’t opened, I’ll be happy to let someone have them. I believe I have some LNW blueberry 10ml bottles unopened.

I’ll check to see what I have that’s still sealed.

sorry some of these are typos. I attempt to explain my thoughts but I go in the wrong direction sometimes. I’ll spend a lot more time studying the ELR program. Once I feel confident with it, I’ll see if there are any other questions I might have.

The ELR program will probably clear up a lot of questions I’ve had in this thread.

Thank you!

I hope I don’t get stuck anymore. Thanks again.

yes. I am slowing down and trying to stop overthinking mixing. A lot of stuff beyond that (super detailed notes etc).

My point with my recipe picture example above was simply in hopes of providing a different perspective of saying the same thing the others have said (but thought it might be easier for you to “reverse engineer” a way for you to make sense of (or rather: interact with) the calculator. :wink:

If you blow up the image and look closely, you’ll see that the flavor numbers (in grams) match what you’ve been using (writing down). Almost verbatim (but I’m not going to stress out about going to three decimal places).
Even the total gram weight is a match for your referenced calculations.

No one is saying that you can’t, or shouldn’t do math(s), they’re simply trying to say that the calculator does them automatically for you. (Besides which, I don’t think anyone is doubting your ability or intelligence, or even your interest in doing so! Simply that you don’t have to!)

And depending on your preference, it’s most likely been accommodated for already, depending on how you set your preferences.

If you want to mix by manufacturer’s specific gravity (most flavors have this data entered already), there’s a checkbox for it (which yes, you need to save ;)!)

If you want to not worry about such things, then you can check the 1g = 1ml and go on about your merry way. chuckles

Again though, my hope was that you would notice the percentage in relation to your grams, so you could dial in your hand-written notes, or be able to import from your spreadsheet(s)… Then you would have a common format with which to engage others here to continue your further explorations.

It came from Canada but I live in the US. I might have gotten it from Liquidnicotinewholesalers. This site has a link to the Canadian store.

Well, it’s never been opened.

It’s free to anyone who want’s to pay the 5$ USPS shipping Let me know because if no one wants it’s going into the trash. The 2 other bottles that were opened have been trashed.

I was told someone would want this. Let me know.
