How much nicotine do you vape? - Page 3 - E-Cigarette Forum

dnakr · 11-19-2008, 08:24 PM

Someone correct me please,

Here is my understanding. I use to smoke light cigarettes (0.7) at a pack a day which would be 14mg per day.

I e-cig at 11mg and I use 2ml per day.

My understanding is that "per puff" on the e-cig is equivalent to 1/2 of a drag on a real cig; therefore, 2 drops = 1 cigarette and 20 drops = 1ml, so I get 10 cigs per ml.

So 2ml per day (40 drops) of e-cig usage is equal to 1 pack of cigarettes but I have increased my nicotine level by 8 – is that correct?

1ml = 11mg 2ml=22mg

you are now smoking 22mg of nicotine which is 8mg more than before, you are correct

Yep, juice nic levels are measured in mg per ml except for Johnson Creek who measure mg per 1.2ml.

Here is one of Freddo's handy threads about measuring drops - drops in a ml?

Some measure 20 drops per ml and some get 15.

I get five minutes vaping with two drops. (With 7-10mg juice that equals about one cig).

I have NO idea! I have so many flavors and levels going throughout the day, I don't know how I'd calculate that. I have some 36 mg TW Marlboro and 24 mg TW Tobacco, but I only vape those when I'm craving the taste of a cigarette - a few puffs several times a day. I also have 36 mg TW Coffee and Vanilla mixed that I'll "sip" occasionally. My sweet flavors are mostly 11 mg. My current favorite and most vaped is PS Wild Strawberry, which is 4 mg. I don't ever completely drain any one of the carts in a day, though. (I'm refilling VK carts, using 10-15 drops per cart.)

I'm still new enough at this that I'm just having fun with a flavor buffet throughout the day, and switch carts and flavors whenever I feel like it.

well back on the analogs, smoking 30 analogs a day and vaping 2ml of ry4 24mg. Been smoking 60 analogs a day for 20 years. No side effects except when I mix 18mg chocolate with the 24mg ry4, got me dizzy. No problems using the straight 24mg ry4. Why can't I get off theses damn things. I vape all day in my truck and then at each stop I'll have a real cig.

Don't know if I want to the the 36mg, kinda scared.

What am I doing wrong? I somehow think I'm using time management to pass the day (1 real cig = 8 mins.)

well anyway, i have cut down.

bschade1 · 04-25-2009, 06:15 AM

I have no idea. I drip three drops probably 30 times a day. 90 drops. Is that too much? I haven't smoked in 6 days, but when I smoked I would go through 2 packs.

ed_bollix · 04-25-2009, 06:20 AM

I'm a low/zero person but I will vape med or high on a stressful day but then back to zero/low.

bschade1 · 04-25-2009, 06:31 AM

I have a 30ml bottle of JC juice. If two drops equals .1ml and .1ml equals one cigarette than my 30ml bottle equals 300 cigarettes. If I divide that by 20 cigarettes a day than my bottle should last 15 days.

Does that sound right? Its important for me to know how much nicotine I am consuming. Please help.

bschade1 · 04-25-2009, 06:39 AM

I am sorry. I am not getting this. I vape 2ml a day of 24mg JC juice. I understand that 2ml is equal to 20 cigarettes. How does the 24mg strenght come in?
