Converting to E Cigs with regards to Nicotine content.

[HopelesslyAddicted]

Just to throw some more numbers in the mix, it's about 20-25 drops per mL... or so I've read and heard in several places. But then again, I haven't even vap for the first time so what do I know?

damned crack-head is what I am, can't stop laughing now.............
Anyways, any idea how many drops makes a ml?

Wow. 30ml in 4 days? That's a whole lotta juice. And by my math (not to be fully trusted this early in the morning) that comes out to be the equivalent of 5.75 packs of cigs a day.
Yeah, that'll make you ill.

Just to emphasis... My reasoning of it is that the mg given has been set to give you the equivalent mg per average cartridge to match the average packet of analogs.

Yes this is a very simplist view of it and not totally acurate, but just a guideline.

Lets work out the 30ml in 4 days.

Holy feck,

30 ml = about 750 drops.

Lets say 15 drops per cartridge (much to high i guess) == 50 cartridges.

Remember each cartridge is spose to be equal to an average packet of analogs at 22mg..

ouch dude, that is 50 packs of analogues in 4 days....

Or should we actually say, that is 50 packs worth of Nicotene in 4 days. Assuming around 18mg strength juice

Easy to do if all you do is puff concentrated nico all day.





Another way to look at it is.

1 cart = 1 pack of analogs in nicotene content.

If you smoke a cart like you do a normal analog ciggy, ie till it is dry you are effectively increasing your nicotene content daily by 20 YES TWENTY TIMES.

Even if you use the other figures of 1 cart = 6 - 8 cigs and ignore the mg per cart per pack guidelines, you would be increasing your Nico intake by 6 - 8 times if you smoked a cart like a real cig.

Even though consuming that much nicotine in 4 days is not funny at all, I couldn't help but laugh. I think your reaction sent me over the edge 'ouch dude'

Me too dude

If I consumed that much my arse would be tighter than a snails chuff on a frosty path.

I can't even imagine.... I remember how awful I felt after chain smoking two packs of analogs at a bar (I was wasted)... But holy **** that's alot of nicotine. Honestly, I think he's lucky he didn't have a heart attack or anything.

Or to quote Thank You for Smoking...
DOCTOR: "No non-smoker could have ever withstood the amount of nicotine you had in your bloodstream. I hate to say it but... cigarettes saved your life."

I think your first post was near enough to reality to be very helpful for new members, Catanonia, thanks! (Just... better not try to transform what you said there into 'drops-measurement', I think - just far too variable as measuring unit, one 'drop' can easily be 2x, 3x or more as big or as small as onother 'drop' (from another kind of bottle for instance)).

In all things measusuring-wise: my conviction (and knowledge) is, that you should be using STANDARD-measuring units - not variable measuring units, let alone widely varying units...


P.S. Very easy way to measure how much you are using when dripping: fill a small bottle, say 5 ml, with e-liquid. Use it and see how long it lasts you, then divide those 5 ml by the number of days it lasted (or do the same with a bigger bottle during longer if you want even more exact numbers of course).
If you also used pre-filled cartridges along with this dripping: find out how much your kind of cartridge holds (in ml) (I think the 901 for instance uses 0.5 ml per cartridge? - anyhow, that number varies per kind of cartridge; penstyle is indeed around 1 ml).
Know how many cartridges you used per day. Multiply that number by the ml's per cartridge and you have the day-usage in liquid-ml for your cartridges. Add dripping day-total to your cartridge day-total, and you know exactly what you are taking each day in ml. And mg nicotine is 'per ml' - so you also have a straight answer to how much nicotine you have taken per day.
I think the OP explained that quite well in the first post.

In regards to carts, I always have liquid left over in them. I drain my wick/fillers and reuse if possible or replace so even though you may go through 4 carts a day you should still have liquid left over in the filler that can be drained and used when re-filling the carts. Hope this helps rather than causes more confusion.

I believe Jaaxx at JuicyLiquid made a chart with cigarette nicotine amounts and what would be comparable to e-liquid. Maybe you could PM him and ask him to post his results.
