Weight or volume?

[Sobrbiker]

The home mixtures I’ve made, which I started doing just to make blends I bought to try but didn’t like smokable, I have eyeballed parts by volume.

Now that I’m leaning more to trying to make blends “with intent” as I learn more, I am curious if this is folly?

Having just read the post of recreating home blends from old articles, I’m left to ask:
Are recipes that state 2 parts XXX and 3 parts YYY to be inferred as by weight instead?

I would go by weight. Different cuts/presses will yield different weights at similar volumes. At the end of the day, you’ll be in the same ballpark, regardless, and blending at home should be enjoyable. Do whatever makes you happy, but I’d guess weight is the implied method.

Weight.

As @crashthegrey said it is by weight.

Another vote for weight (which is also affected by variations in dryness of component leaf, in addition to cuts/presses as previously mentioned by @BarrelProof above)...
