Vape Apps

[Rob Fisher]

OK there is no Vape Mail today so what can we do... I've cleaned all the atomisers and put them all into a little box...I've refilled the Nautilus Tanks and put fresh batteries into the MODs... the Interllicharger is doing it's bit with the 18650's...

Mmmm let's go to the Apple App Store and see what Vape Apps they have.... Ooooo there are a few... let's download them and play!

Review to come later!

Can't find anything on the Windows Store

 

[Rob Fisher]

OK that was a wasted exercise... downloaded about 10 Apps from the App Store and ended up nuking all of them except one which has a calculator for volts and ohms and stuff!

Most of the apps were maps with store locations and my nearest store is about a bazillion miles away!

Even on Android most vape apps are mediocre

I'm not sure what I expected or what I was hoping for...

I was just nosy to see whats out there; I think the calc programs are at least helpful for those that forgot what they learned during standard 7 physics.

 

[gorfrepus]

can maybe build our own app? lol

I found one in the play store (android) called "Vape" (red icon). Pretty kewl that it automatically tracks your savings from not smoking and gives you some basic stats around that. Also gives you achievements as time goes on (cigarettes not smoked, money saved, days without smoking). Has some basic health improvement stats like 8hrs - normalizing oxygen, 48hrs - improved taste and smell, etc and tracks those for you as time goes by. It currently says I have improved my lung capacity by 15.6% (3 month milestone).

The nice thing is that it gives you notifications when you hit those milestones without opening the app. Nice to wake up in the morning and see a notification that you've saved XXX rand already!

Other features:
Set cost of a pack of analogs
set number of analogs you used to smoke
Record vape expenses (then offsets the vape expense and analog saving to give a break even point and money saved)
Related to previous point, seems to average the monthly vape expense of time based on your recording of your equipment/juice purchases (frequency)
E juice calculator - % base nicotine, target nicotine, target amount(ml), water, VG/PG, flavour.
Store recipes for juices
Acheivements - mentioned above
Watt calculator

Nice... sounds good!

I used that for a while @gorfrepus , but quickly uninstalled it when my vape expenses became more than what I saved by not smoking .

Hahaha!!! Ya I guess you wouldn't want a constant reminder in that case!

I'm a total amateur but I do dabble with android application programming. Might just try make an app in my free time. What sort of features would you guys expect to see in such an app?

 

[johan]

Love that idea @gorfrepus ! what language do you program?

 

[gorfrepus]

like I said, i'm an amateur and not a programmer by profession. just enjoy messing around and have actually managed to learn a thing or two with the android sdk. most android apps are built in java with xml layouts. basic stuff is very easy and quick to put together. takes longer to make cooler stuff though (graphics, animations, custom logic) - at least for amateurs like me.

 

[johan]

I've read a few good reports on android sdk - never tried it. I think you'l get some good as well as weird answers / suggestions in no time on this thread.

 

[gorfrepus]

lol, might be a fun project.

@johanct the android sdk has been very well put together. and eclipse really makes it quite easy to piece through the sdk. helps out a lot with filling in the blanks for the repetitive stuff. This stuff is easy to learn but not that easy to master...

Good place to start for those interested is...

[johan]

Thanks for the links, I agree eclipse does save a lot of time and repetition even for C and C++ stuff.

Coils Frog. How many wraps on what diameter id with which gauge kanthal equals what resistance. If you're interested we can work together to compile a chart with all the possibilities.

Here's a nice starting point courtesy of @Matthee

Something like that would be useful I guess. I can't really think of another need for a vaping app apart from Ohms Law, which exists.

 

[johan]

Nice one @Reinvanhardt

 

[johan]

Here are 2 different spread sheets that might assist in the calcs, apologies seems we can't attach *.xls files. If you want pm me with your e-mail address.

Here are the above mentioned spreadsheets in a .zip folder. Thanks @johan.

Great thinking @Reinvanhardt - what happened to my last 2 brain cells? archive & upload, as easy as that!

 

[devdev]

HAHAHA @johan go reread your last post.

I read it as: I archived and uploaded my last two brain cells.

Anyway, vaping app as you guys have described it sounds great, but what about a juice recipe calculator or tracking device.

So if you want to dilute your juices down, it will calculate ratios to add in respect of PG/VG/H20.

Or it can be used to track the ingredients in DIY juice blends.

Just some thoughts.

E liquid calculator for Android does all that. Use it all the time even has a notes section.

There is also ejuice me up for pc

@devdev it might just be that I've zipped my last 2 brain cells. For Android devices there is already a very nice one out for e-juice mixing called: "E-Liquid Calculator"
