Hi Nick
I just did a few recipes using slightly different flavour percentages, I saved them with different names, but they haven't saved- for example Maple caramel 2 overwrote maple caramel 1.
Am I doing something wrong?

If you press save when editing a recipe it will save over the previous version of that recipe - just like pressing save in any traditional application. Changing the name of the recipe will not make it create a new recipe (the equivalent of "save as").

To do what you are trying to do you will need to go back to the mixer and start again to create a new recipe.

Got it.
Thanks

Hi NickIcon , been using your excellent site for my mixes for quite a while and found a couple of things I'd like to comment on..

As per the last couple of posts, when you change the name and ingredients/ratios of your recipe, it would be nice to be able to 'save as' to allow us to save versions as we are perfecting our mixes. It's not convenient to make the recipe fresh when adding a flavour or changing ratios. Especially if it contains lots of flavours.

A target flavour % so we can easily see if each flavour we add makes the correct percentage in the overall mix.

Bug - - Changing a flavours ammount % by .5% does not always update the dilutent %

Thanks for making this for us - I find it invaluable

See ccw champagne ratio change, but pg volume does not below.

Correct mix:

a1laserboy's lime/champagne/anise/liq

20ml @ 18mg/ml, 50/50

Nic base(100mg/ml, 0/100)	18%	3.60ml
PG	30%	6.00ml
VG	32%	6.40ml
DV - Aniseed	10%	2.00ml
FW - Black Licorice	4%	0.80ml
Lorann - Licorice	4%	0.80ml
CCW - Champagne	1%	0.20ml
DV - Lime Zinger	1%	0.20ml

An intriguing mix of flavours, whatever the technicals of it are A1.

[a1laserboy]

It's slowly getting there Perpetua though the lime is a bit strong, but it could be that I notice it because it's new in the mix.

Thinking I need to change flavour completely then go back to it to see how it goes

I can't actually think why I haven't made a 'save as' option - it's going onto the to-do list.

I suspect the error in the quantity is due to the addition of the 0.5% increments - something somewhere must still be rounding things down to whole numbers. I'll have a check through the code when I'm in front of my computer. Thanks for pointing it out!

Glad you're finding dot1ml useful :-)

[a1laserboy]

The .5 increments is good - even better if .1 for flavours

I really appreciate your efforts to bring this to us, it's brill! I reckon you could sell a mobile app based on this, I'd certainly buy it.

[Perpetua]

I could be wrong a1laserboy ( it has been known ) . . . but I think this is compatible with mobiles, it certainly is for Macs and Ipads.

[a1laserboy]

Perpetua You could never be wrong

I'm on a mac, never thought to try it on my iPad or iPhone yet.

[Perpetua]

Thank you for the compliment A1 . . . my ex's may however disagree with you.

[NickIcon]

a1laserboy, found the rounding problem - fixed now!

Dot1ml should work fine on tablets already. It should also "work" on phone browsers too but I haven't done anything to make the layout adapt to smaller screen sizes so it may not look great - especially in portrait mode.

I've just made a quick change to make the ingredients increment in 0.1 for values under 1.5% - it seems to be working ok but let me know if you see anything weird happening.

As much as I like the idea of making money from dot1ml, I'd rather it remain free to use . There will be other monetising options further down the line should I feel the need to take time away from my day job.

The next feature in the pipeline is a tagging system very similar to Twitter's. It's not far off so hoping to release it around the end of next week.

[a1laserboy]

Wow! Thanks nick

[NickIcon]

Just a quick update - hashtags are now live on dot1ml:

• Adding a # in front of a word in the recipe description will tag your recipe
• They also work in the search form: dot1ml.com/search/~alldayvape
• Hashtags will show up in search results/recipe lists

Now all I need is time to go over all my own recipes and tag them properly!

[NickIcon]

Another couple of features have been added to dot1ml:

• Comments on recipes
• The batch mixer

The batch mixer is dot1ml's equivalent of having a computer screen filled with EJMU windows - add recipes to your batch and they'll all be displayed on one screen.

Screenshot:


If I'm not paying close attention to what I'm doing (or the phone rings, OH interrupts etc) I find it easy to forget whether I've added an ingredient to a mix or not so I've added a little feature that lets you click on any ingredient to mark it as added.

You need to have an account to use the batch mixer and you can only use your saved recipes. This might be changed in future but for the time being it avoids having to cram in all the nic base and liquid settings into each recipe column.

The batch mixer displays in ml or drops as per your user settings and will also support the dual-unit (drops and mls) option when it comes.

The header of the site has also been re-jigged a little to make way for more things to come.

[Kandesys]

Excellent !

Just added a couple of recipes - very easy to use, and the flavour search could be very handy.

Thanks
