How many ml is 10% terpenes exactly

say a gram is about 1 ml , so whats 10% of 1ml?
1x.1= .01 ml with easy maths you can figure out this.

It really is, that’s why I’m wondering why he keepsake asking the same Q. :man_shrugging: what’s this thread #3?

I dunno? gather up the posts and I will merge them or what have you.

Just so you know 1ml and 1ml are pretty much interchangeable. a 1 gram cartridge is a 1ml cartridge. they aren’t exact since one is measured by volume and the other by weight, but theyre damn close enough if youre only worried about small increments.

move your decimal point to the left to find 10% of any number

25 = 2.5
33.3 = 3.33
69.33 = 6.93

It depends upon the specific gravity of the terpene or terpene blend you’re using. A ballpark average specific gravity for our terpene strain blends is about 0.855 g/mL. But each terpene strain blend can be quite far from that value, e.g., a range of 0.82xx to 0.86xx g/mL is common. Look at the products’ COAs from the company you’re using for the specific gravity.

To answer your question, to add 10% terps by weight to 1 gram of distillate you need 0.11 grams terps. To convert terp weight (grams) to mL you need to divide the weight by the specific gravity. For example, you would divide 0.11 by the specific gravity of 0.855 to come up with the answer of 0.13 mL (rounded).

However, as others have noted you can’t easily accurately measure that volume, that’s why using weight is easier to measure accurately. Not to mention using weight is more accurate than volume because you’re not converting from weight to volume (taking into account the temperature of the teprenes, which should be 25C for accurate conversion from weight to volume).

I’m I better off just using a pg/vg mixture

:rofl: dude… calculators will solve all you’re problems. 1g = .01g of Terps. 10g = 1g of terps… so on. % by weight is elementary just have an accurate scale for a 1g tester.

Definitely not for the pg, peg, or vg. Also, for those who aren’t yet aware… Viscosity is not 100% terpenes, what it actually is is unknown, but I don’t think I’d recommend serving that up to anyone. Honestly just .1g in a vial that possesses .9g of distillate is pretty accurate. Good luck mixing something so small completely or even getting it to transfer without serious loss. For a single tester cart I’d recommend going over on amounts to account for transfer loss. Maybe .15g of terp and 1.35g of distillate.

Remember to keep everything nice and warm or you’ll quickly find it exceptionally difficult to transfer anything from anywhere.

I don’t know why everyone keeps saying 10% terps in a 1g cart would be .01g. That would be 1% terps. 10/100=.1

it is elementary but often people still make errors on their calculations

:laughing:

1g = .1g of Terps

Are you?
Care to explain why?

Lol decimal points can be a bitch when typing… 0.1 for the record not .01 Haha!

You can use a pipette…

1x.1 is not 0.01.

1x.1 is .1

I believe most terps have a density of .87g/ml

Welcome to the site @CannaTradingCo ! :slight_smile:

Many do, but isolates can range quite a lot. Our blends tend to be closer on average to 0.87 g/mL. For example, myrcene ranges from about 0.7900 to 0.8050 g/mL and Eugenol ranges from about 1.0640 to 1.0700 g/mL.

grams do not equal milliliters.
gram = weight, ml = volume.

2 different measurements. Kind of like how we can measure temp and humidity, and while the 2 may be related, they are not the same.

How many grams of a particular substance it takes to fill a L will depend on the density of the particular chemical or blend, as florplex points out.
