Yah, yah, yah…We’ve all been here, surprise surprise. I was mixing up a new 8 oz. of one of my fav juices. I had just decanted the remnants of my left over juice into a smaller bottle but after filling that up, there was still approximately 2 ml’s of juice left in the 8 oz bottle. So when I put that on my scale, of course it zeros up. When I was adding my very first flavor, I accidentally squirted too much, I added 3.59 g of that flavor instead of 3.15 g.
My question is what do I do now? I can’t just dump the excess back into the bottle because it isn’t pure, so how do I adjust the entire recipe to compensate? It can’t be something as simple as just adding an additional .44 g of the other flavors, right?

If you refigure your recipe for 239ml it should work out.
(If your bottle can hold that much!)

That is so awesome! How did you figure this out? You saved my day, lol. Thank you.

I just transferred the contents to a larger bottle so this way I have more room. I would love to know how you adapted this.

You’re welcome, KC!
Divide the overpour for that flavor by the intended amount, which will give you what percentage that you are over.
3.59 ÷ 3.15 = 1.139
Then multiply the volume that you intended to mix by that number.
210 × 1.139 = 239.33
Then refigure your recipe for that amount to mix.
I hope that helps, I’m not the best at explaining!

There has been so many times where I have an extra 5 drops or so by mistake, but never .44 grams worth of extras, lol.

What flavor did you do too much of ?? Probably isnt too much of an issue , if its a flavor that is super stong or dominant like FLV Rich Cinnamon maybe it might be an issue…I have done what you did often and i just proceed as usual

I screwed up again D-man and this time it isn’t so little.
I went to add the PG and I was supposed to only add 22.38g, but I added 75g instead, grrr! So when I adjusted the recipe to reflect the new 52Pg/48Vg ratio, it says I was to add 145.27g of Vg, so I did.
For all intents and purposes, I can now call this a 50/50 mix, but if I want to fix it and make it a 30Pg/70Vg ratio again, how much more grams of flavoring and more grams of bases do I need to add?
I am not going to cry over spilled e-juice, LOL!

Lesson to be learned, don’t attempt to mix when you are so foggy and unfocused due to a head cold.

This is your adv?? I would make another batch at Max VG then mix them together which will raise ur ratios and give you 480mls
Max VG is gonna be 85/15 which should bring you mr 50/50 mix around 65vg

LOL, you’re really going into the rabbit hole on it now. The moral of the story is what @fidalgo_vapes and I posted above.
0.45g of FA Apricot won’t make much of a difference in a 210ml mix. We all make mistakes, and when they’re likely to not even effect the mix, who cares, skip it, and move on.
Now @gloopdegurp did come up with a fix, by upping the total mix, etc., but if you went even further into the bad …
You can get into diminishing returns, trying to fix it. With every “oops” the math gets trickier, and honestly, sometimes dumping is the best way to do it. I mean try to fix it, test it, and if it’s not terrible then vape it, but if not, save your sanity, get some rest, and start fresh tomorrow.

Well I didn’t want to just tell her to trash it BEFORE tasting it, BUT, it just gets to the point where you’re dumping good product after bad, and it just turns into a really BIG bottle of mess, where just cutting your losses, saves sanity.

Too late, it is dumped, lol. Nic and all. This will teach me a lesson.
