I don’t think you are wrong, the numbers are just hard too read since you yielded a percent from a percent. So just for future clarity:
1ml = 1g distillate
1g = 1ml distillate (use milligrams to distinguish the difference in the THC Yield (mg/g) and when discussing the ‘weight’ of the distillate (gram)
1 gram = 1000mg
90% Distillate would have 900mg/ml(g)
75% Distillate would have 750mg/(g)
…ad infintum
yeah, from a conceptual stand point, it made the gummy to gummy variations I was seeing out of our kitchen when using ketchup bottles look pretty amateurish…
but the fact that a monkey is still responsible for moving the dosing equipment makes it seem somewhat unfinished…
…and I’m not really trying to tell you you’re wrong either.
however, my faulting wiring requires I point out that 1ml of distillate is only approximately 1g
if we were talking water, then at one point 1gram == 1ml (1 cubic cm!) wasthe definition.
Originally defined as “the absolute weight of a volume of pure water equal to the cube of the hundredth part of a metre [1 cm3], and at the temperature of melting ice”[2] (later at 4 °C, the temperature of maximum density of water). However, in a reversal of reference and defined units, a gram is now defined as one thousandth of the SIbase unit, the kilogram, or 1×10−3 kg, which itself is now defined by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures, not in terms of grams, but by “the amount of electricity needed to counteract its force”.[3]
for crude or distillate its a handy estimate, but you should always remember it’s an approximation
Think it’s 1.08g/cc. At least that’s what I get when working the molar density out to my small brains power. Again, I am a person who’s just a nerd, so I am always open to being wrong.
I am 100% with you. Just the wording you use indicates that “I understand the minutiae, but it’s only going to jam people up with nuance” that’s my lived-life every day all day. I know how these things get, just saying I agree with you, just we are all splitting semantic hairs. I appreciate your input.
Ok that’s too chewie…disty flowing in small tubes (if been down that rabbit hole) …human…I have to do my pritty gummies personally…extremely consistent but I cant count on that from paid peeps…but if u try the muscle momory with hand booya…95% I keep the resrt…
I have. 1 cube holds ~.8ml Everclear/Ethanol I’ve found. They fit in that 1cmx1cm1cm cube mold with lots of little tiny cubes. I usually just put them in there, drop, and let the dry seems to help them keep a nice structure.
I’m with you sir. I understand that approximation (think I found it to be ~1.08g). I grok the science, it’s just most people fail to read anything more than what is presented so just wanted to offer clarity/context to the casual reader looking for an answer. Anyhow, overall good stuff from what I’ve seen you post in general. Thanks again, and cheers.
The edibles you made with d8. Did you use a d9 sop and just decrease potency by half? I mean D8 is more viscous that d9 distillate, correct? I’m trying to work up a process recipe for gummies. I guess dilute d8 with mct for starters?
