Ok I have been looking around and see to so many different answers and most are from sellers which I would think say the equal more than they really do. So my question is does one cart from a kr808 equal a pack of smokes? Cause if this is the case than I am smoking alot more than I used to lol I go through about 4 carts a day
How many cigs does a cart equal

The tars in combusted tobacco act as a very efficient transport mechanism for nicotine, binding to both the nicotine and to any tissues the tar contacts.
Vaped nicotine, not being bound to tars, is delivered less efficiently in terms of being absorbed into tissue.
So, while a straight "milligram to milligram" comparison of the amount of nicotine in a pack of smokes, to the amount of nicotine in a given size PV cart, may be accurate and honest, the decreased efficiencies of absorption require more milligrams of nicotine in vapor than in burning tobacco (which simply has a higher bio-availability, due to the cancer causing tars).
I haven't seen any really good studies on vaped nicotine versus tobacco nicotine actual bio-availability done yet, so the ratio is anybodies guess.

It seems the average is that a cartridge of most brands is about equal to or greater than a pack of traditional cigarettes
If that was the case I'd be dead from nicotine poisoning
. I'd put the cigs down when I felt sick, I do the same with my pv when I start feeling funny. Those cart=x cig comparisons do everybody a disservice and are horribly misleading.

A cartomizer, MAYBE but a cartridge might be half a pack. Really I figure just find out how much you need and be happy you are not inhaling all that crap from analogs anymore.
I totally agree lol but my wife not Ever being a smoker is riding my ... cause I smoke this more than I usually smoked analog cigs lol. Had she is just worried I guess... Thats what she is good at anyway
a cart isnt half a pack - you can't compare the two mediums really - plus youre not absorbing hte amount of nic in either a cig or a vape to the same amount as is in the item.
If a cart was half a pack then I have gone from a pack a day to about 4 and thats stupid

So do you smoke this as much or more than u did analog cigarettes? Say you smoked a pack a day is a cart lasting you a full day or do you find u smoke these more?
I dont use carts I drip - and to be frank, I drip as often as I want (I tend not to worry about how much, the main thing is it isn't a cigarette and Im not jonesing for any) - I use 12mg nic btw which is fairly low.
I 'get' why people are trying to compare - because they want something to aim for/goal for but really you aim, in my opinion, should be to satisfy any cravings and keep off the smokes. Vape doesn't contain all the harmful stuff that your lungs hate - like tar and carbon monoxide (Im not saying its safe, jsut SAFER) so as long as I feel ok then I jsut vape as and when I want to. If you're worried then use a timer (like an egg timer or something) and keep to certain times only to vape.

For me I cant say how many carts i go thru because i top off alot, But i can tell you i go thru about 5 ml's aday sometimes less, that keeps me content and i dont crave cigs now, I vape between 24mg and 36mg also, Im a heavy vaper, I guess. Im not concerned.
Ya I am smoking 12mg from TV now was smoking wow Juice from v4l but I think a 30 ml bottle is lasting me about 2 weeks or more not sure if one juice last longer than another or not but it seems I am not using as much tv as I was the v4l juice
I top off a lot too. Once you start vaping, you really stop thinking about it in terms of "how many cigarettes" and start paying more attention to how full your bottle of liquid is.
I'm dripping going through about 3 ml per day of juice.
My price per ml is 30¢.
My consumables are less than $1 a day now as compared to about $6 a day when I smoked analogs.
In my signature source, I have placed the total amount of money that I have spent on all hardware and consumables and use a zero $ figure for daily consumables. When ever I make another purchase regardless of what it is then I update my "initial investment" price to reflect my total investment since starting.
After < 2 months of vaping I am in the black and am sitting on over 150ml of juice, 25 full cartomizers, and 110ml of flavorless nic juice and some various flavorings.
At my current consumption rate I have enough juice to last me 3 more months before needing to make another purchase. So you can add about $540 to my total savings.
Granted, I don't prefer some of my juice flavors and will use PIF as soon as I can get on when an offer is up that I would like to try. (Always just taken by the time I see them). So I will be passing some of my juice on, but will be getting more in it's place, but my shipping costs will go into my total investments box.
Moral:
I'm saving money.
I'm having fun.
I'm healthier and will live longer.
And I have a new obsession that takes up more time and energy per day than my smoking of analogs did.
BUT... I smoked analogs for 31 years so I have a long way to go before my total investment of time and energy vaping comes even close to that of smoking.

I don't even try to compare. I was going thru a carton of analogs every 5 days. @60 plus dollars a carton, well thats a car payment every month.
I don't vape more often than I used to smoke, because that would be impossible, lol. Every available moment.

At first I read somewhere that a cart is equal to 15-20 cigs but when I actually started to vape with carts It felt to me like I was getting only 3-4 cigs. I was using 510 carts but now I drip all the time. I use a 18mg 10ml bottle in 5 days and I was a pack a day smoker. I consider myself a heavy vaper but I know there are people vaping way more than me on these forums. I don't pay attention to it anymore myself as long as my cravings are satisfied.. I know I'm saving money still compared to analogs.
When using number of hits, a cartridge equals maybe 2 cigs. With a full carto its equal to maybe 6 cigs. Of course, this is just my personal comparision. I mostly drip and go thru 3-5 ml per day.
Do you mean:
How many cigs does an e-cig cart equal if an e-cig cart could equal cigs?
