Cartomizers Strength?

[Streetvapor]

Just wondering here at work I never asked a question on how is the strength measured in a cart or e liquid?Is that measurement based on per cart or by ml or by every inhalation?


Thanks Again,

Street.

Street,

I believe e-liquid strength is measured in ml. So 16mg liquid would have 16mg of nicotine per ml. There should be more info in the diy forum.

Hope this helps.

As I understand it, if you smoke a 16mg carto until it is dry, you would have taken in 16mg which is approximately the same as smoking 16 light cigarettes (it depends on what the nic content is in the type of cig you smoke). Or do I have it wrong?

You are wrong i think. I recall reading that the additives in analogs enhance nicotine absorption into the body. So you may wind up vaping more than your smoking at first.

I believe its mg/ml, so say....16mg/ml

so, figure out how many ml's are in a cart(whichever type of cart you happen to be using), multiply times liquid strength, and thats how many mg's of nic are in that cart.

Figure about 1mg nic per cigarette, and you can figure out how much liquid *should* keep you happy(compared to cig habit)

but things like absorption rate will skew these numbers a little, so its still fuzzy for me.

Hahaha! That is funny, I heard it was the reverse, and vaping will give you less... the additives in CIGARETTES would make you absorb it more. I wonder what the truth is!

Also, rule of thumb is about 20 drops per ml, so I bet a normal cartomizer is real close to its stated nic dosage (16, 24, whatever)

I think that is actually what blooper was saying, but he was saying that you will puff on the VP more to compensate for the decreased nic absorption. That's what I took from it at least

yes Ry thats what I said.

Sorry, misread it. Such a blonde at times - seriously!

LOL If it makes you feel any better, I have those moments too and I'm not even blonde.

Thanks for the clarification.

Sorry Jen, but the other fellow was correct. The Mg rating is per ML

so, if you extract one ML of say..Mboro from a couple of carts..and its 36mg, then in that 1ml, there is 36mg of nic.

now if it were the way you thought it was, that'd explain why cappuccino shrunk the world! wow!
