How many mg a day are people vaping?

[Bdbodger]

I use to vape 24mg/ml but I vape too much or too often and it was a tiny bit too strong so I went down to 16 to 18mg/ml . I vape about 6ml a day at least so 18x6=108mg min .

1 full flavor analog cig has approx 1Mg of nic in it, so if you smoked a pack a day you got about 20Mg of nic.

Slight correction on that . On the side of a pack of analogs are two nic levels . The first one is the amount of nic that a tester reads on a normal analog with normal puffs . The second one is on an analog with the micro holes covered and harder puffs which gives you a range that a user might get from smoking it . So the number is not the amount of nic only the amount a user might consume . The free nic in smoke is more easily absorbed than the nic in vapour , droplet size I believe is the difference . So it is hard to really compare the two . Plus we don't really know how much of the nic is destroyed by the vaporization process .

Thanks for the correction, but you missed what I said and that is "approx" which means there are variables.

But you point out something that I did also originally and that it depends on how and what a "normal" puff is, and the same applies for vaping.

The bigger thing everyone is missing is that the calculation you all are using is in correct.

If a 6ml bottle of eJuice is labeled 18mg nic does that mean it has 18mg? Then if you get a 12ml bottle of eJuice labeled 18mg does it have 18 or 36mg in it?

Mg is a weight/mass measurement and what it actually means is the percentage of nic, thus 18mg is actually only 1.8% by volume, because we are dealing with a liquid.

So whether you have a 6ml, 12ml, or 70ml bottle bottle of eJuice all labeled 18mg they all contain the same amount of nic per its respective volume.

The calculation you are using is assuming the 1ml or 6ml contains 18mg of nic, so by multiplying how many ml you vape by 18 is giving you a total. And this is not true. A 6ml or 12ml of 18mg has the same amount of nic, it is based on volume.

To calculate this correctly you need to know how much nic is in each vape you take and how many vapes you take a day.

I am not wanting to be argumentative here, but it would also be nice to accurately figure out how much nic we may be consuming vs. using a flawed calculation.

Now I am not a chemist, just an obsessed vaper, and hopefully someone with a more educated mind like a chemist or scientist can chime in. I am looking for a better way to explain this and will post it here once I find it.

Vape on!!!

Ok I may stand corrected on all this, and am going to continue to look so that I too can know what the reality is.

Here is another thread that sheds some light on this.

Here is one link I found regarding how much nic is in liquid.

So the search continues!!! See it is not always good to post at 2am!

Look at it this way, Jeff: the nicotine is in a concentration of mg/ml. So 1ml of juice = 18mg of nicotine (for example). Once you have vape 1ml you have consumed approximately 18mg of juice. Of course the volume of nicotine differs depending on the size of the juice bottle, but the fact still remains that we measure nic in mg/ml, so a bottle that says 18mg, is equal to 18mg/ml.

I go through about 3-4ml a day of 12mg. I used to do that much of 24mg about a year ago 'til about last July, at which point my body had had just about enough of that and I had to cut down. Mostly that was because I was switching first to variable voltage, then to clearomizers, both of which upped the vapor (and thus nic) I was getting, so stepping down to 12mg was actually pretty painless.

@Chelly, that is correct, and I was wrong, it is mg/ml....

So as I vape 6-9ml of 18mg I am vaping around 108-162mg of nic per day.

Goodness gracious! Some days I vape 24mg strength, guess I love my nic!

We all love our nic

Thanks for straightening that out Chelly, I was going to say the same thing. It's how many ml's and how many mg's in those ml's. Now how well we absorb this only matters when we look to compare this to analogs, we're not in this thread anyway As I suspected though there are people who vape at a lower strength, or at least what I consider lower, but vape a lot, 6-9 ml of 18 mg for instance

So I guess compared to that I'm not such a nic fiend with my 36 mg Well maybe I am
