Stupid question

[K-Sound Krew]

Ok, I'm doing a bulk order

I had more then one person place an order for (.56kg/500ml)

But then I had people complaining, if I gave them 500ml instead of .56kg

g is a unit of wt
L is a unit of volume

So if I had a block of ice and a stuffed animal each weighing 5kg
Then I melted the ice and put the stuffed animal in a blender and stuck them each into a container, the stuffed animal would take up more volume and thus be a higher liter then the water, so to do this conversion you need to know the wt of e liquid.

Does anyone know what .56kg of eliquid is in ML?

1ml Propylene Glycol is 1.036 g, so almost neglectable...

According to this it's close on g for ml ... ie: 560mg is close to 560ml.

Hi K-sound,

I think they're complaining because... When you say 500ml... you mean 10x50ml bottles which cost more.. nearly double the price

The one container with .56kg in it is cheaper...

doubt they're complaining about the .6ml or watever missing.

Kevin, the problem is it does depend on density. For example, if you were measuirng corn syrup, the conversion would be 402.88 ml. but if you were measuring water, it would be a straight 560 ml. And we don't know the specific density of our liquid. I suspect it's somewhere in between the two examples I gave you.

The problem, I think, is as I referred to in the Bulk order thread: The .56kg comes in a sealed bottle, and with a specific price. I think those of us who ordered that specifically wanted a sealed bottle, and the price as listed, which is better than when buying at lesser volumes.

For me the biggest concern is the sealed bottle - better with a large volume and the obvious concerns with loss of the nicotine over time and with exposure to the air.

Edit, others responded while I was off doing conversions. LOL. But we're all thinking pretty much alike, I see.

I believe it all depends on the.... hmmm ..... specific gravity, maybe.

1 litre of water weighs 1 kg. So if the mixed juice is heavier than water which i would suspect it is since it is a lot more viscous than water then 500ml would not be .5kg .... make sense.
I guess you could weigh a 50ml bottle, empty all the contents, rinse it out, dry it and weigh the bottle again. Subtract that from the orignal weight and you should have the actual weight of the juice per 50ml.

Specific gravity of PG is only 1.036. With dissolved solids I would guess SG of e-juice to be no higher than 1.05. At 1.05SG. 5.6kg would be 533ml. Even at 1.1SG it's still 509ml.

Another PS: I'm sorry this is turning out to be such a headache for you Kevin!

That is probably why when Fedor was organizing his European bulk order, he limited people to either the .56kg or 1.2kg bottles!

Thanks everyone, I was using .56kg=560ml to do my math, but I know that's not accurate, I guess it's good enough, based on what Kate said

I had 14x.56kg orders, so I needed to put two of those orders in the 50ml orders

Using my math I had kg orders being .086 cents (per a ml) and 50ml orders being .155 cents (per a ml)

I have one of the .56kg bottles. It says 500ml on the bottom of it.
