how many drops in a ml? calculating daily nicotine

[robw]

I so far have not been keeping track of my nicotine intake, and I want to start.

If I knew how many drops are in a ml I could tell how much nicotine im using.

From the other posts Ive read, the rated nicotine level on the label is per ML.

So a 36mg Fierce coffee from puresmoker would supply 36mg per ml used.

I know when I smoked camel lights they had .8mg of nicotine per cigarette. This put my previous nicotine intake at 16mg per day

Id like to not exceed that amount, but im sure I have been with the e-cig.

People say 15 drops or 20 drops = 1ml

I will go with 20 drops = 1ml (20 drops = 10 cigs)
Most people use 2ml per day (40 drops = 20 cigs)

In order for you to stay at 16mg per day and provided you only use 2ml per day -
You would have to use e-liquid around 8mg or a little more than 1/3 of 1ml of 36mg per day.

Its a little harder to do this in practice as you would have to drain the cart dry everytime in order to monitor your intake. What you need is nicotine per inhalation not per drop. However I imagine each puff is also a variable.

Actually it's more like 40 drops per mL
But of course this all depends upon the dropper

A drop is approximately 0.05ml
Two drops last me five minutes vaping

drops in a ml?

Drop size is going to vary with viscosity and I've seen a lot of different thicknesses of liquid. Anyone any other ideas to make this more complicated than it should be?

Temperature makes a difference in drop size too.

I personally do not believe that. You could find LOTS of claims (proofs?) that the nicotine intake officially stated on packets is grossly understated (based on something like 1 short puff every 30 seconds or so - do you smoke like that? time your gaps between puffs) by the tobacco companies and you can normally get much, much more (three times? even more?) from a single analogue cig.

Determining nicotine and tar measurements in tobacco products is done by a very specific machine test, so variables cannot enter the equation. YOU, however, won't smoke like a machine, so your intake will not the same as the published amounts.

What is the big deal with this? If you underdose, you'll get jumpy. Increase your vaping. If you overdose, you'll get dizzy and throw up. Decrease your vaping. You are not likely to kill yourself by vaping and these aren't exactly calories we're consuming. Why are we counting?

[robw]

The reason I decided to count was because I have not had a nic fit in days and I was wondering if it was because im LOADED! or if I was simply past that point and have lost the desire for nicotine.

I have no headaches or any other reported symptoms reported from over use of nicotine, and someone in another post said that if you increase your nicotine intake that your resistance will simply go up, requiring more nicotine.

So if I count my intake then I can determine if im still taking in the same as when I smoked or if im using more.
