I think they're talking about a puff to puff comparison in that case.
Our beloved Kate is probably linking you up with the numbers on nic content as I type this.

Lol, very funny.

The best thing to do is have a quick scan of this thread for information and check out some of the links to things you want to know more about - Helpful links and videos for a new user.

I don't know why some people only get a few draws from a wet cartridge, I gave up on them as too much trouble and now I only drip.

I get around 10-12 draws from two drips, or five minutes vaping, that's similar to a cigarette. For nicotine calculations see the thread in the link above.

You are a saint, lol.

I don't like the idea of 3 drops of juice = 45 cigarettes though.
That is a little scary..

I must have smoked 20 drops yesterday (refilled cart twice, 10 drops each).. about 20-30 puffs.........

What strength nicotine are you using? 20 drops of 11mg would equal 11mg of nic or around 11 cigs.

Don't forget that your cartridge filler is retaining lots of eliquid too, you're not getting it all by the sound of it.

Well, 20 drops is around 1ml. Eliquid is measured in mg per ml so 18mg eliquid is 18mg of nicotine per 1ml. You used around 18mg if you had 20 drops.

Cigarettes average 1mg per cig of nicotine so you had around 18 cigs worth of nicotine.

It only gets complicated when puff counts get mixed in with the calculations. There are approximately 10-15 puffs in a cig, so it's 1mg divided by 10 or 15 to find the mg per puff. Then you have to work out how many puffs you get from your eliquid ... and we're all different so I'm going to stop now because the calculations could go on forever and still not help

That is kind of a PITA!

Anyone have any experience with the JANTY Mini Fogger? I've had an eye on that..
Mini fogger is even worse the smaller the device's cart the more you have to top up usually case

And to get all of the juice out of your "spent" carts:

Get a big syringe.
Put wool in syringe.
Mash like hell.
Collect nic-o-driplets.
????
PROFIT!
