Exactly how much nicotine am I getting

[ladyzr]

Someone posed a question to me and I have absolutely no idea what the answer is. The first question was how much nicotine is in there? Which led to the follow up question of how much nicotine is in a cigarette.

I generally vape between 6 and 18mg so does that mean every puff is giving me 6 to 18mg of nicotine? I'm now between 6 and 12mg. Am I now doing more harm than good because I'm getting well over the nicotine level that was found in a pack of cigarettes. I know I'm getting 4000 less chemicals just looking for actual numbers on what I am getting.

No it means that for every ml of juice there is 6mg of nicotine in it or 18mg depending on the strength your vaping. How much of that your actually getting into your system I couldnt say for sure. I have heard quite a few different numbers on it. There is a New Zealand study on e cigs you might want to read that explains alot. also to give you an idea 1ml = around 20 drops give or take.

That makes it a little clearer. But in comparison to a cigarette, how much nicotine could be found in cigs?

I think I read someplace else on here that analogs are approx .8 nic each. Is that right, anyone?

Actually, this question has come up in the past. I think the general consensus was that since the nic is being absorbed through your mucous membranes in your mouth that it ends up depending on how you actually physically vape.

For example, I usually vape like I smoked because it comforts me but if I'm really having a nic fit then I don't inhale but instead I just suck in the vapor and blow it slowly out my nose -- no lung involvement. So if you and I were both vaping the same juice on the same device we could actually be getting totally different amounts of nic depending on our vaping technique.

"One deep drag on a cigarette can provide 0.35 mg nicotine. Therefore, one cigarette can provide 3.5 mg of nicotine and twenty one cigarettes provide 73.5 mg of nicotine"

Thats what i found threw a search of course different brands will be different. Also you must consider that smoking nicotine is not the same as getting it from vapor. The abortion rate is going to be different. Also from reading in here it seems to me it varies by the person too.

Want to know, you'd have to get blood tests to really know.

I wonder what medical condition you have that deviations in nicotine is harming you though. In which case getting tested would be a good idea anyway.
