How many drops/ML per pack of analogs?

[scfaster]

In the last day of two I saw a thread about how many drops or ML equals a pack of analogs. I couldn't find it again so I started a new thread.

Obviously this is very subjective depending on equipment, user style and so on. I couldn't stand not knowing, so I went to work on it.

I started with my Joye 510 and a cart that had been used to the point of reduced output. I dripped three drops of Johnson Creek VG (Red Oak) Valencia into the front of the cart, and used it until it again had reduced output. It took me 5 different sessions, and it put out a total of 22 hits. I do pre-puff before taking a pull, even with the big manual batteries.

Now the analogs..

I always have been a half cig at a time guy, and my Winston Light 100 put out exactly 10 drags per half.

So, after a little research I have come to the conclusion that three drops was about a cig's worth, and with roughly 20 drops per ML, there were 7 cigs per ML, and 70 cigs (3.5 packs) per 10 ML bottle.

I was pretty attentive in my testing, but I am still having trouble accepting the conclusion. My juice seems to last longer than that. MAYBE it is because a puff off of the PV is different than a puff of of an analog. It took me 5 sessions to get 21 tokes on the PV and 2 sessions to get 20 on a tarcig.

You guys have a great forum here, and I am interested in hearing what your experience is.

Thanks!

Lessee.. 3.5 packs per ML, 120ML in stock or in transit... only 42 cartons worth? I need more juice!

This is what worries me a bit. I find I am vaping constantly when working and then again when I get home in front of the TV or computer. I am going through about 3 full cartomisers a day. Am I now vaping more nic than when I was smoking? I have had lots of trouble sleeping so maybe I am overdoing it. I am currently using Dekang juices at 16mg strength.

Your experiment basically shows the relationship in puffs of an analog vs. a PV. The real answer lies in the amount of mg of nicotine per ML, and then how that relates to an anolog.

Laddsy, move down in nic strength. I started at 21mg and am now on 11mg, as i too was a chronic vaper. If you like to vape a lot, you only need a small amount of nic to reach your usual analog smoking threshold with the bonus being you are not taking in tons of poison!

Also remember that TAR effectively transmits nicotine directly into the blood stream. I am not sure that the same occurs with VG/PG vapor. *shrug* who knows? With the FDA trying to ban rather than study(what they are PAID to do), we may not know for some time about vapor/nicotine transmission into the blood stream. The only thing I know for certain is that I am a healthier happier camper without cigs holding me back.

Thanks for the info

I just ordered some 11mg juices from tastyvapor, but got a couple of back up 18mg just incase. I am going to try and cut down my vaping to see if it helps with the sleeping. Its just so easy now that I dont have to sneak outside and can vape wherever I want.

You could always cut the 18mg with some VG from the drug store. Might kill the flavor a bit, but it works. That is how I turn 30ml of 36mg no flavor to 60 ml of 18mg juice. Cheap and easy.

I have also been awake much later than normal. I know it is the 18 mg juice but am going to wait until I am completely done with cigs before reducing nic.

good idea, TV is the best! Having high nic stuff around is good too. My general vaping procedure is i have about 75% 11mg juices and 25% 24mg. The 11mg are the fruity tasty ones which are my "all day vapes," while i have a cart of 24mg tobacco flavored around for when necessary. For example, if i am busy doing whatever, i can grab my 24mg and take a couple toots and be good for the time being, as my body is used to the 11mg on a pretty constant basis. Also, my girlfriend works as a server and takes 24mg carts with her to work so when she has a quick break, she can jump outside and take care of business quickly, and when at home, she uses the 11mg around the house when vaping more constantly.

Basically, you know your body best and you don't want to overdo the nicotine, especially if its effecting your sleep/health. Best of all, as far as i know, the lower the nicotine, the more flavorful your juices will be!

Good luck
