Took me about 5 puffs to annihilate a cigarette. 138/5 = 28 cigarettes.

So you must be vaping way too much except for 2 things:

1) Nicotine from vaping is not as efficiently absorbed by your body; there's evidence the particle size is larger and travels less deeply into your lungs. But it is absorbed by the membranes in your mouth and nose.
2)There are not the additives in e-liquids that are present in burned tobacco. As an example my e-liquid has 3 ingredients; a tobacco cigarette has 4000 it's thought.

    I've read somewhere you absorb 1mg of nic out of a cigarette, so, 2.4 and 4ml that's 9.6 so less than half a pack.
    Can anybody verify my data?
    I've heard that, but not sure it's accurate.
    I vape about 10ml of 10mg per day.
    That would mean I smoking 5 packs a day :shock: Not....

    Hmmmm, I vape 36mg juice and go through 8-10ml a day, hows that factor out?
    OP, the answer is, there really isn't an answer, everyone vapes differently and intakes nic differently. Same with smoking, not everyone inhales a cig the same way, I can kill a cig in five puffs or I can drag it out for seven min, depends on my mood or needs.

    Since you only absorb about 1/3 to 1/4 of the nicotine in vaping liquids: No. More like only 2.4 to 3.2 mg's of of your 4 mls of 2.4 mg/ml liquid. Absorption of nicotine by the process of vaping is very inefficient.

    It is not. A local shop by me makes they're juices 2.4 nic, then 4.6 and so on. I usually vape 3, but 2.4 is the closest thing to 3.

    Reply in proper terminology

    % an MG are NOT Equal and 2.4% is most certainly 24mg/ml
    2.4mg is only .24%

    For anecdotal example only:
    100% = 1000mg/ml
    10% = 100mg/ml
    1% = 10mg/ml

    I am vaping on 2.4% nic. Not 24 , 2.4. I have hit my vape 138 times today. Is this more than a pac of smokes? I've went through about 4ml

    That's the wrong question. The question is how many miligrams of nicotine do you intake with one STINKY.

    General rule of thumb is 1mg of nic per STINKY. (REDS)

    If your nic is 2.4mg nic, each ml is 2.4mg of nic. So each ml is approx 2.4 STINKYS.

    If you vaped 4mls the equation is simply 4 X 2.4 = 9.6

    So you vaped the equivalent in nicotine of approx 9.6 STINKYS or rough HALF A PACK.

    To reiterate:
    1 STINKY = 1mg of nicotine
    The nic % on your eliquid bottle is PER MILLILITER....one/thousanth of a liter.
