@Caped_Conspirathist… this is exactly why Sd and I are helping you to understand the calculator…

He has a % = weight… mine is gram = %

meaning:

5% = x.xxg for SD
x.xxg = "X"ml = X% <Smoky’s way

same mixes… just done different. :slight_smile:
You know I also count my drops per ml… I dont know if Sd does work the drops into his recipes or not…

In the end, you will find your own style and tastes… and to remake every time is the main goal we all work with… to share recipes or not… repeating them to re create the tastes we like… is for the best.

@SessionDrummer, if you ever got so BORED as I do, You’d electrocute your dinner to see if it makes it taste better!!! I used to do so so much… now it’s sit around the house.

I was so busy it wasn’t funny. What I did at home for fun, I GOT PAID FOR!!! You can’t beat that. Now… Now its, “wake up, watch a movie, eat, then sleep”. My Dr said If I don’t start doing things that interest me then my depression from the Parkinson’s is going to kill me.

Meh, mine may not be spectacular. I guess everyone forgets they have an 8 hr a day job. I sit at home all day. I don’t know if they can imagine what that’s like??? Doing something you love to do really helps with the depression.

Everyone here gets upset when I say “math”. I wish they understood how much I did and now I can’t do anymore because of this damned disease. It’s ok that I’m disabled and don’t think it would be wise to change it but I can still use my brain even if my body is falling to crap.

Doug, I get it…

but first… know what you are doing before delving into the rest… get to know how it is done, and then tinker. I know where you are coming from. I do tend to keep things on the low not just here but other places on line, as I work with higher educated folks. They fling more than math around… I know how it is… but you know I will tell you too… stick to the get to know period… write your ideas down… then revisit.

Once you get the hang of it… I expect to see great things coming from you! :slight_smile:

I get it. I do. I understand what you’re telling me. I know I grit at these guys. Hell, I grit at a lot of people. It comes out when I joke though. It’s not bragging, it’s just who I am. I didn’t realize just how bad it really does come out in me? It’s me… I’m weird.

It’s not about being anything more than being weird. These guys are showing me the ropes and I know I don’t know it. I know they know it. If it wasn’t for them and you I’d still be at square 1.

@anon84779643, ok… and I’m always on my PC lmao. IDK what I’d do without Lightwave modeler and some of the other programs I play with. This making juices really interests me. For the first time in a loooonnnggg time, I’m in “input” mode!!!

10 years??? maybe more? It’s been that long.

I get what you’re saying. Honest. I know me… I’ll get real quiet though if I don’t play. Most of this is just joking around. Being stupid and silly. Trust me, I am soooo learning and listening to @SessionDrummer and @anon70102222,

Thank you guys so much!!! And I hope you’re enjoying it too?

@anon84779643, sorry forgot to add you too! Thank you!!! seriously, you people ROCK!!!

Ya gotta understand though… Vapers are a strange lot… It’s how everyone looks at you who has a real mod.

@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.
