Mount Baker Vapor Parts instead of Percentages.

Years ago when Mount Baker had the DIY 236 ml bottle you had to give them your flavors in Parts instead of percentages. Stupid me has never been able to figure out what a (Part) equaled to as far as percentage. Does anyone have a suggestion. The reason why I ask is because I have a lot of good recipes that a friend gave me before moving away that he made up and I'm trying to convert it from Parts into percentages so that I can make the recipes. If anyone could give me some help on this I would really appreciate it.. I have researched and researched the internet and can't find it anywhere, that's why I'm coming to The Forum. The recipe had to equal 96 parts of flavor in total for the 236 ml bottle. Example: Hazelnut 30 parts
French vanilla 20 parts
Sweet cream 20 parts
Strawberry 26 parts

Total flavoring 96 parts
Thanks for any and all help. It's probably very simple but I just haven't been DIYing for long.

Welcome @GWR1959 and I hope you find your answers. I would think it would covert being percentages being 1 part is a percentage. Just my few glasses of Red thinking though. Good Luck

Welcome to VU. It been a long time since I have taken a math class but if memory serves a part is 1 equal part of the sum value. In the examples that you provided that seems very extreme. Maybe some experimentation is necessary. Try adding one decimal point and do a second with two.
example 9.6 and one as .96
 
Thanks for the replies already. As far as the percentages I did convert the parts and it came up to be something like 40.6% total flavor. To me that's awfully High even for a 236 ml bottle. And as far as moving the decimal around, I moved it around so much that I even came up with some new math that Elon Musk would have a brain fart with... Lol

In my thinking if recipe had a total of 5 part with flavoring being one part it would be 1/5th so 1 dived by 5 would be .20 or 20%

96 parts you should equal 100% because you have no parts for vg and/or pg

Hazelnut 30 parts = 31.25%
French vanilla 20 parts = 20.83%
Sweet cream 20 parts = 20.83%
Strawberry 26 parts =27.08%

I bet if you pinged Mt. Baker they could shed some light on it for you. If you do ping them and they respond, I am curious to know the answer.

It certainly relates to the other components, such as VG and PG, alcohol, distilled/deionized water, etc.

if you are making a batch of X ml, then your parts are milliliters. So, it's all ratios.

(and remember nicotine)

This is actually really simple and the most flexible way of relaying a recipe. Like @PoppaVic wrote, it's all ratios. So here are the rules for a recipe given in ratios:

1) "Parts" can be any measure you can do accurately & consistently. Gallons, ml, drops, whatever. Assuming you've never tasted the recipe before, I'd use drops to make the smallest sample possible.

2) You can multiply or divide each figure by the same number and it's still the same recipe. So this is exactly the same flavor:
Hazelnut 15 drops
French vanilla 10 drops
Sweet cream 10 drops
Strawberry 13 drops
...and so is this:
Hazelnut 1.5 ml
French vanilla 1.0 ml
Sweet cream 1.0 ml
Strawberry 1.3 ml

3) So if you start with a tiny (empty) bottle and put in that many drops of each flavoring, you'll have the smallest possible batch of the recipe as pure flavoring. If you use the ml version, you end up with 4.8ml of flavoring. And so on. The only question is how strong you want to mix it, and only YOU can answer that.

Label your bottle of flavoring with the recipe name. Shake up the flavoring, then in a new bottle mix a batch to vape with a reasonable guess of (maybe 10%?) of how much flavoring to use. Once you've found how much tastes good to you, write that percent on the label next to the recipe name. Now you have a premixed bottle of custom flavoring and can mix a batch of that recipe to vape any time you want.


P.S. Bonus: if you think of & mix recipes this way, you'll never need to use a "juice calculator."
