Hello! Thank you! And a question about nicotine content

[Flawd]

First, I'd like to say hello and show my gratitude for a site like this. I found this forum the day before I ordered my starter kit (Joye 510) and it helped with a lot of decisions.
I got my kit on Christmas Eve, and haven't had a real smoke since about 10PM that day.
I really hope the health benefits of switching are true, and eventually I'll be able to quit completely!


On to the question:

How is the nicotine content calculated in the refill bottles?
I read here that they make cartridges with up to 30mg of nicotine, but I've got a bottle that could easily fill 30 carts and it says 30mg as well.

Is the 30mg just an estimate? 8 drops = about 30mg(assuming 8 drops will fill a cart)? Or is it 30mg for the entire 10ml bottle?

I can also get a 5ml bottle at 30mg nicotine. Is that twice per volume? I guess the answers to the above questions will answer this...

Thanks in advance!

It's 30mg per milliliter (ml.) So every milliliter in that bottle contains 3.0% nicotine. That's a very high nicotine level.

thank you so much for the exact level. Been looking everywhere for that calculation

If you're trying to do calculations in order to compare how much nicotine you are getting, it is a waste of time.
We do not get the same absorption from electronic cigarettes that we do from regular cigarettes.

Some studies say we get as little as 10% of the nicotine from vaping.
Others see flaws with those studies, and think it may be as much as 40% absorption.

The bottom line is no one knows for sure at this point.

Thank you very much for that.

This is also very good to know, thank you!



*thinking out loud here*

I used to smoke about 1 pack per day which is generally considered about 20-30mg.

Currently I go through 1.5-2 carts per day and use 6-8 drops to refill them.

According to wiki at most, a drop is about 1/12ml

So every day, I vape up to 1ml which is 30mg (with this juice).

From DC2's post, I can see that I'll get a max of 15mg/day which is less than a pack.

Awesome!

Thanks again, everyone!


EDIT: After posting this and refilling a cart, I realize that a juice drop is probably a good bit larger than water, so my calculations are probably a bit off. Just for personal reference, I'll say it's about 10-15mg per cart for me
