So i recently found out that i am smoking about .8ml of 18mg nicotine juice a day thanks to my ego-t. I used to smoke half pack of marlboro lights a day before i started ecig. Does anyone know how much nicotine i am consuming a day based on marlboro lights? Seems like i am getting more addicted to nicotine since i started vaping, I just can't seem to let go of my ego-t all day and i have hard time going to sleep at night because of nicotine. I am wondering if I should lower to 12mg nicotine, but i am afraid that i might not get the satisfaction i need from vaping. And i've seen warning notice on alot of sites about nicotine is toxic, do not inhale, handle with care and all with the red skull pictures posted. I guess my question is how much do everyone here vape a day and what nicotine % does everyone use based on someone that started with half pack a day.
Another noobie question about nicotine level.

It's not uncommon to vape more than you smoked. We don't have exact figures on exactly the amount of nicotine we absorb into our systems.
I smoked 4 packs a day over a year ago. Quit all of it the day I started on ecigs. I still vape 6-7mls a day but have cut my nicotine in half from what it was over a year ago...I'm at 18mg also. Once all of my 18's are gone, I have 12's waiting for me...in the steeping closet.

I smoked 2ppd and started at 36mg. That was too high for me and made me cough like crazy. Now I am at 24mg and that seems to be my sweet spot. I do, however, vape more than I smoked which is not uncommon. You will get a headache and a racing pulse if you are absorbing too much nicotine so I wouldn't worry too much. You will start to feel sick long before you OD on nicotine.
was a 30+yrs smoker on average over a pkt a day..now vapping 3-4 ml 70%PG/30%VG,nicotine 12mg-18mg on endless combination of my DIY liquid(peppermint/lime,coffee,strawberry tutti frutti,orange ice cream soda..love them all but still 1 favor i still on "hold" my Durian flavor e-liquid..love to eat the fruit but reluctant to vape yet..the smell of the durian,crossed between a dead body or a pungent decay onion..i dare U to vape
After a few days vaping (started just a few weeks ago) I am loosing the need of keep vaping all the time.
The only thing that still happens is that once I arrive at home I just have to refill my cartos and then I enjoy vape for minutes straight (about 10 puffs per minute). After about 10 minutes I am fine again and I can go do something else and dont have to vape for quite some time.
For me I feel that its like a "new toy" but its really helping and I didnt get back to analogs since I started to vape.

0.8ml/per day isn't much..I'm vaping maybe as much 5ml 18mg on some heavy days but I haven't measured so that's just a guess..when I started I was vaping 36mg and probably at least 3ml/per day..I don't really worry about it much really...

I vape 3-5 ml a day as well. What I've started to do to help that same sleep issue you have it Drop from 18mg (Morning and afternoon vape) down to 9 mg in the evening. Sleeping much better! What still kills me is what the heck am I up at 6:00 on a day I could be sleeping in?!?!? 
When I started vaping, I used 24 mg nicotine. I was a heavy smoker, and I am a heavy vapor... 6 mils a day.
Every couple months, I dropped my nicotine levels and now I vape 5 mg nicotine, and 4 to 6 mils a day. I never even noticed a difference physically each time I dropped down a nicotine level

If you are vaping all the time, you should consider "upping" your nic level to 24mg, at least for part of the day, not lowering it at this point in your vaping experience.
Seeing how you guys are talking I am now thinking about getting a bottle of lower nic for in the evening. I've never slept well so maybe that would help me. Right now I have 18mg and I used to vape 5ml a day. Lost my all day vape so now I am trying to find something new. I tend to leave my pv where I can't find it right now cause I'm not happy with vaping the other juices I have all day. It's so hard but when I find a new all day vape I will be ok again. But if you guys are thinking that it keeps you awake maybe I should get a 9mg for in the evenings.

I am not sure upping the strength is the thing to do. I made that mistake years ago. It took me a long time to come down. And I did it in small decrease.
The not putting it down could be the actual physical addiction to smoking.
I agree with you on the "sleeping" problem the OP mentioned IF that is the cause of it. I do lower my nic to about 16mg in the evenings. But if he's vaping all the time, then he may not be getting enough in the day to deal with the quitting of the analogs, so that is why I mentioned upping it, at least during the day. And ofcouse the lower the nic, the less of a throat hit. But everyone is different, so he really needs to experiement.
I think I am going to get some higher nic juice also .... I don't know if it's the time of year, or stress, or what, but I'm vaping constantly. It's like a sugar-free sucker .... tastes good but doesn't DO anything for me.
I was a pack and a half a day smoker now I vape around 2-3ml of 24 to 28 mg a day.
I've been using 12-16mg .... I just ordered the same flavors in 24mg. I can try making around 18 or 20 mg to use some times. That may help.
I got myself DIY kit so i can make my own nic % juices. Now i vape 18mg during the day and 12mg during the evening and i still have problems going to sleep at night lol. I just put away my PV after 8:00pm and it's helping me sleep. Oh and thanks for all your posts, i guess i am not vaping that much at all.. I do seem to vape alot more when i go out and drink, but i still don't go over 2mil a day.
