Milligrams vs milliliters (ml. vs mg.)

I was looking at the description of the THC drops from @MerlinsMagic. It describes the contents in milliliters but the dosage in milligrams.

"Recommended Dosage is 2-4 Droppers under the tongue..." The whole dropper's worth? Or is that 2-4 drops?
"which is approximately 10mg per dropper." OK, are we using weight to determine the baseline dosage?
"2 30ml Bottles ($90.00)" Now you're using volume, not weight.

I am wanting to determine how many drops at a per drop dosage are in the bottle but the weight vs volume description conflict prevents that.

    Milligrams refers to the amount of THC. You won't be doing drops, it will be eye droppers when you dose. So every eye dropper has 10 mg of THC. I could be wrong.

    That makes sense. I was trying to do a cost analysis to see if getting some of these drops would fit into my budget. I am beginning to look into edibles and such, smoking is starting to get to me. I guess the question then changes to "How many droppers can I expect from a single bottle?"

    I've used drops before. In Alaska, a shop in Fairbanks sells small plastic vials of THC and I would put that in a coffee. I forget the dosage, but the total amount in the plastic vial was no more than a droppers worth.

    added Here are the drops I mentioned. They call them "Doobie Drops"

    Editable's and tinctures will not work the same for everyone. One dropper can give you what you want or 2 droppers will or 3 dropper will. Or you can take half the bottle and not feel a thing. Was looking to the same as you. I do find I use much less plant using a Dynavap.

    So each full dropper has approximately 1 ml in it.
    That will have 500/30mg = 16.67mg per full dropper

    Keep in mind that it's hard to get a full dropper, usually I pull half at a time, so that approximates to

    1/2 dropper:

    8.33mg per half dropper (60 doses)

    ... maths ... better done while not ingesting lol

    also, I'm sourcing some alcohol based tinctures that are not as great tasting but even stronger for a similar price.

    avoid alcohol that exceeds 190 proof

    Thanks, Merlin. That's just what I was asking for.
