How are milligrams measured?

[mt400]

I have been wondering, when you buy say a 30 ml bottle of 24mg e liquid, how is that 24 mg measured? Is that 24 mg per ml? That seems like quite a bit. Is that 24 mg in the whole bottle? Or is that 24mg per cartridge? Anyone know?

24mg per mililiter

I'll try and give this a shot. a milligram is one 1000th of a gram. this is (mass) weight. a milliliter is one 1000th of a liter, liquid volume. So all you are doing is computing the weight of the nicotine per the volume of liquid used as a suspention. (liquid)

So the ml is the amount of suspension or liquid. The mg is the amount of nic by weight added to the supension. In other words mg is a percentage of nic to liquid.

Like Sal said...its 24mg/1ml or 2.4% pure nicotine in any given amount. 100mg/ml is 10% nic...50mg/ml is 5% nic...25mg/ml is 2.5% nic and so on.

Oh...if your cart holds 1ml then it would have 24mg in it..and in your 30ml bottle of 24mg juice you have a total of 720mg of nicotine. A regular cig has about 1.1mg that gets absorbed.

I would look at your cigarettes (or old ones, online works) they should show tar/nicotine amounts, that may help you compare to what you were smoking.

Realize that nicotine absorbtion is another issue or debate in of itself as well....

A bit off topic but FYI. vaping is not as efficient as burning butts. Less chemicals. I seem to need about 30-40 good vape hits to equal about 8-12 drags on a ..... That's to get the 1 mg of nicotine ingested in a typical burned cig. So if you smoke 3mls of 24mg juice, per day, you are not ingesting 72mgs of nicotine. It's closer to 15mg-20mg ingested, depending on a number of variables. You may be ingesting less than you think!
