Um, well ... let me get my calculator ...

The nicotine inhaled from cigarettes is usually marked as 0.8, 1 and 1.2 mg per cig.

A 10ml bottle of 36mg nic juice would equal 360x1mg cigs

20ml of 36mg nic juice would therfore equal 720x1mg cigs

If cigs cost £5 per 20 then 720 would cost £180

That sounds a lot to me, I might have got my maths wrong somewhere.

Do you put a whole ml in each time?

20ml * 36mg nic = 720mg nic
720mg/1/20 = 36 packs, where 1 is mg per cig
36 * £5 = £180
Works for me.

So this particular e-liquid is 12 times cheaper than 1mg cigs if only amount of nic is considered. (see octave code)
Keep in mind that light cigs or light e-liquids aren't any cheaper...

And for octave(save as price.m and run):

j_ml = 20;
j_mg = 36;
j_price = 15;
c_mg = 1;
c_pack = 20;
c_pack_price = 5;

j_total_mg = j_ml * j_mg;
j_cigs = j_total_mg / c_mg;
j_packs = j_cigs / c_pack;
worth_of_cigs = j_packs * c_pack_price
worth_of_cigs_per_currency = j_cigs / j_price
cigs_per_currency = c_pack / c_pack_price
times_cheaper = worth_of_cigs_per_currency / cigs_per_currency

I just couldn't stop there...
£1.5 a day is pretty reasonable.

11mg liquid output:
worth_of_cigs = 55
worth_of_cigs_per_currency = 14.667
cigs_per_currency = 4
times_cheaper = 3.6667
j_cost_per_day = 1.5000
j_cost_per_week = 10.500
j_cost_per_month = 45
c_cost_per_day = 5
c_cost_per_week = 35
c_cost_per_month = 150

octave code:
j_ml = 20;
j_mg = 11;
j_price = 15;
c_mg = 1;
c_pack = 20;
c_pack_price = 5;

j_ml_per_day = 2;
c_per_day = 20;

j_total_mg = j_ml * j_mg;
j_cigs = j_total_mg / c_mg;
j_packs = j_cigs / c_pack;

worth_of_cigs = j_packs * c_pack_price
worth_of_cigs_per_currency = j_cigs / j_price
cigs_per_currency = c_pack / c_pack_price
times_cheaper = worth_of_cigs_per_currency / cigs_per_currency

j_cost_per_day = j_price/j_ml * j_ml_per_day
j_cost_per_week = j_cost_per_day * 7
j_cost_per_month = j_cost_per_day * 30

c_cost_per_day = (c_per_day/c_pack) * c_pack_price
c_cost_per_week = c_cost_per_day * 7
c_cost_per_month = c_cost_per_day * 30

I'm getting math anxiety just looking at that...

@LilLady:
It might look little confusing at first. ;)
You can just look at the output if you want.

j_* for everything concerning e-liquid.
c_* for everything concerning cigs.

j_ml_per_day = ml consumed per day
c_per_day = number of cigs consumed per day

worth_of_cigs = how many cigs is this bottle worth(nic wise)
worth_of_cigs_per_currency = worth of how many cigs do you get per one pound, dollar etc.
cigs_per_currency = how many cigs do you get per one pound, dollar, etc.
