DIY cartridge help

Hi everyone
I have recently been researching making my own concentrate cartridges on FC, and had a few questions.
I am looking to make as many O.pen style vape carts as possible with 1 ounce of BHO. What is the best ratio of concentrate to juice if I want to maximize the number of carts I produce (some threads are saying up to 1g/cartridge but this seems very high)?
Here is a list of the products I am planning on buying an addition to the 1oz shatter I have:
http://holyterp.com/pure-original/
http://m.dhgate.com/product/good-price-pyrex-glass-bud-tank-ce3-atomizer/
http://wizardlabs.us/index.php?route=product/product&path=79_96&product_id=2030
Is this everything I need?
In terms of the actual mixing process I am fairly confident and other threads have been very helpful, but I wanted to ask for advice on a recipe (low-medium potency, maximizing number of vape cartridges I can make), and confirm that the materials I plan on buying are adequate.
Thank you so much!:)

You will have to play with it to get a baseline, your holy terp stuff seems pretty great, I was able to use Vapour Extracts Unflavored at a 1ml/1.5g ratio of tarry BHO. It was very potent, would yeald a 6-7 easily with a couple paced pulls over a few minutes. Eventually I diluted to a 1ml to 1g although I did try an additional drop or three of watermelon ejuice I had while mixing to see how it would blend. It was 70VG/30PG, worked alright. Assuming your flavor extracts are the right thing, I would recommend going easy on it and allowing proper time for your mixed final juice to "steep" or rather settle or what not for flavor, unfortunately if it separates that is lame, but it can always be heated slightly and shaken a bit to reincorporate. With some shatter and the holy terp I would try what they recommend, maybe .5 to 1 gram and see how thick it is at room temp. The issues you will find with measuring usage across a tanks life is often, a small amount of juice will destroy a new coil way before the tank is near empty. So unless you are rebuilding or replacing coils, you will end up frustrated and having to transfer very sticky liquid a bunch. I couldn't see what tank you were linking because it was dead but I have tried "clearomizers" and the step up rtas, and eventual sub ohm rtas and all that jazz, I haven't settled on what I like best for concentrate juice but I hoped it would be a tank system that I could clean the coils and rebuild without to much hassle, I'm not about to buy the official replacement atomizer heads in bulk - as they seem to have a high level of failure, aside from getting gunked up with use. Then again if using quality shatter you may have a more translucent and therefore less messy resulting juice - get more life out of a disposable tank if used moderately to lightly.
