How many mg of nic do you vape daily?

So I've been doing 72mg per say. A cig has 1mg. When I was smoking 25 a day that was 25mg of nic. I'm wondering if I can get my vape down to that. If I could do that a 1 liter bottle of 100mg nic would be a 13 year supply.
A higher percentage of the nic is absorbed vs the nick in a vape.
It is not a 1/1 ratio.

I was doing 3ml or so of 12mg until I starting subohming last week. The last few days have been about 6ml of 6mg. So about 36mg of nic a day.
I'm sure there's a difference. I'm sure there's more nic in my system than when I was smoking. So I ask myself, why not get used to the same nic as when i was smoking. Vaping is not permission to give up all self restraint--unfortunately.
Ohh I agree drop your nic level. That is a good thing. Just pointing out that it is not a 1/1 comparison.
You could also ask yourself why you are setting an arbitrary nic target, especially since you don't really know what is in your blood stream. Precisely what evils are you trying to avoid?
I think you have it backwards. There's more nic absorbed in smoking than in vaping. You don't absorb all the nic in either one... but more gets absorbed in a cigarette. The particles in smoking a cigarette are much smaller than vapor and absorb at a much higher rate/quantity.
One thing that's really important to understand is vaping is nothing like smoking. You really can't compare the two in any way. Absorption rates are too different.
Honestly I think there's way less nic in vaping per mg (by absorption). The reason I think this is because about 6 months after I started vaping I smoked a cigarette. I got a huge head rush. When I stood up I felt dizzy and lightheaded from the nic. I had been chain vaping every day throughout those 6 months but 1 cigarette gave me a nic high. There's a huge difference in nicotine absorption when comparing cigarettes with vaping. In fact, there's such a huge difference you can't actually compare the two.
The dizzyness may have been the carbon monoxide. Nic never effect my balance. The reason I know this is one of my hobbies is slow balance practice on a motorcycle. A bit of lost sleep or an off day can effect that. Nic has no effect on my balance practice or might improve it a bit. After a year of putting no controls on my vaping I've decided it's time for a bit of discipline. May be 30 mg of nic is comparable to smoking days. Hmmm...
That's possible but we really don't know that for sure. Things effect people differently. If I vape my husbands 12mg nic I get a slight head rush. It could have been a combination of the two.
I don't blame you for lowering your nic though. I started out at 12mg 4 years ago. I quickly went down to 6mg. I stayed there for a long time. I'm down to 3mg now but I lowered mine so I could chain vape all day.
I do about 90 mg give or take a day. I forgot where I read it, most likely here, but vaping was about a half of the amount of nic absorbed than a traditional cig. Most cigs have around 20 mg per cig but only 1 mg is ingested. That is why to get that same satisfaction as a cig, you vape twice as long. If you want, I applaude you for dropping your nic level. 
Everyone is different. Cheers.

Cigarette smoking increases plasma nicotine levels 3-4 times faster than vaping, even using modern equipment. Here's a study done this year (using 18mg liquid):
Nicotine absorption from electronic cigarette use: comparison between experienced consumers (vapers) and naïve users (smokers)
P.S. I probably use 3-4 mL daily at 12mg/mL.

I am at 2ml a day during the week and 5ml on the weekend at 12mg. I keep my nic mg higher and I vape less. 9mg is my sweet spot. All of my DIY is at 9mg.
About 20-25 ml of 3mg. I mix my own unflavored and do about a 50/50 of unflavored and flavored that I buy.
It would be reassuring to see more reports in the 25 mg per day range. That's where I'd like to be.
You avoided my questions posed in post #9. What is so magical about 25mg per day? What exactly is so terrible about exceeding it? Is your number framed by intense negative nic propaganda or the facts and science?
Sorry to be asking the hard questions...
