How many analogs does a full normal 510 cartridge equal?

[CMHpilot]

I used to smoke a solid PAD and I have quit for a few days but was curious as to how much nicotine I'm vaping. I am trying to use this to eventually ween myself off of my nicotine addiction and hope to eventually go to straight 0mg juice or even kick the habit all together. I've read that a cartridge is like 5 analogs but I hammer through a full cartridge in what seems like less than 2 hours. Even at a pack a day I didn't smoke 5 in a couple hours. At least I didn't think I was, maybe when drinking but when I drink and vape I go through the carts even faster.

Also a bit off my original topic. What are some of the most trusted e-juice vendors here in the USA? I have some DeKang juice that I bought with my eGo and I like the taste but I'd rather order stuff made here in the US possibly even organic. I ordered some stuff from Johnson Creek that should be getting here today or tomorrow.

Thanks.

as far as comparing to analogs, you can't really.
Get a good strength of eliquid that works for you
and vape when you crave. There's no comparing to "how many cigs" and whatnot, because your body absorbs nicotine differently through vaping than it does smoking. So I dunno what to tell ya, other than quit worrying about "how many cigs you are smoking" and worry more about having an ecig when you need it.
Good luck and keep on vaping!

Thanks bass, thats kinda what I figured. I'll stop worrying about it and will keep on vaping. Never thought I'd like something so much as to make me not really think about stepping out to have an analog.

No problem. I can come across like a jerk sometimes but I love to help newbies. If you need anything, PM me or make another post- ECF is full of vapers that LOVE vaping and helping ppl alike.

Worry more about how many analogs you AREN'T SMOKING! ha ha
No really, when I smoked, I'd light one up, and smoke it til it was gone/my craving was gone. I do the same with vaping. I vape until my cravings are gone. Each vape session (like 20 or so puffs for me) equals a cigarette TO ME. I'm sure YMMV but that's how it is for me. If its really that important to you, then I'd say a session is a smoke.

Your first post didn't come off as jerkish so no worries there. Thanks for the info and I'll keep on posting with my newbie questions.

I am a heavy smoker. I recently quit analogs. I found an analog lasted me about 10 good drags, so I use that as a benchmark for how much I should vape. The first thing I experienced when starting to vape was it doesn't burn out like a smoke (which is how I gauged myself when I had enough with analogs) so I would just keep vaping until I was queezy. I am vaping 24mg.
So, I conducted a test with analogs to see how long they would last, so I could gauge myself when vaping.

I've found that because there is no beginning and end as there is with an analog, when I'm sedentary I tend to vape more than I ever smoked. It's easy to just sit there and puff away without stopping, and that was one of the first things I had to get used to. I've had to make a conscious effort to learn to put the cig down. That said, when I'm busy with one project or another, I don't have as much of a need to stop for a cig break as I did with analogs. I guess my point is, it's pretty hard to calculate a comparison, but one thing's for sure... If you're enjoying the vaping and not smoking because of it, that's all that matters, right?
