How many mg of nic do you vape per day?

[Sig-man Floyd]

Restarting this poll, on request.
​

In order to answer the many people asking every so often a variation of 'how much do you vape' DaShiVa came up with this poll. which I've reposted on request a slightly clearer version upon request.

Looking at this as nicotine intake, and ignoring actual cartos per se.

One carto = 1 ml of juice.
20 drops = 1ml (approx).

So you figure out how many ml you vape a day, and multiply that by the mg/ml to get the total.

This is not asking how many ml/carts you vape, but how many mg of nic you vape, here is a couple of examples:

If you vape (like me) 2 cartomizers a day, and refill each with 20 drops and vape all that, then that is a total of 2 cartomizers and 40 drops, which is 4ml of liquid.
I vape 11mg, so that is 4*11=44mg.
If I go over my '4 cartos' a day (which is what it amounts to) I switch to 0mg, which doesn't count for this, as it is about nicotine vaped, not ml vaped. (Although ml of liquid vaped is also interesting, it's a little trickier to get as useful data on)

If you just vape 3 cartos a day of, say, 24mg, then that'd be 3*24=72mg

So pick the range you fall into

Got it right this time!

As signature says, I vape a total of 5.4mg/ml per day.
Of course the actual absorbed nicotine will be definitely less than that.

For instance the mg's of nicotine printed on analogs's packet is the "absorbed nicotine" (or at least what smoking machines absorb) per single analog not the total amount of mg's contained in a cigarette as shown in our e-liquids. It looks like it's hard to detect the amount of nicotine absorbed while vaping...

 

[DaShiVa]

Yeah, I know you absorb less from vaping than you do from cigarettes, but this poll wasn't to compare smoking to vaping, but vapers to each other, and I'm going with the assumption that each individual's absorption amount is roughly the same, and not relevant anyhow, as the average will be the same.

On another note, I would b e interested if there's any testing that does something like: 1) use a smoking machine to test nic in smoke
2) as above for an ecig
3) text exhaled smoke from someone smoking a cig
4) as above for ecig

With properly controlled variables, you should be able to establish how much nicotiene is absorbed by a vaper as opposed to a smoker.

I know there's the freebase nicotine vs standard nicotine , but this would get us a lot closer to figuring out the difference. when I have a free hundred grand (or whatever) I'll get the machines and staff and do it myself. Till then, I'll hope someone else does

 

[Heracleum]

No, I didn't mean to compare vaping to smoking anyhow. Just wanted to mention that we "consume" a certain amount of nicotine (as we will declare here in this poll) but of course the actual amount of absorbed nicotine would be less; I can't even say whether it would be less or more than analogs. I mentioned analogs just because (au contraire) the mg's of nicotine printed on the packet is not the nicotine "contained" (as in our e-liquids) per cig but -already- the amount of nicotine "absorbed" (by machines).

Still noone that vapes just 0mg? I thought we had one or 2 that stuck to the 0's.
Ant it seems like noone over 150 yet, I thought we had a couple of those also, who chain-vaped 30+mg all day.

 

[H3D]

I vape 31-40 mg per day.

I have tried dripping some 0mg juice on my 901 - tastes good, but there is absolutely no throat hit whatsoever. I haven't tried a 0mg menthol or mint, though - maybe I should give that a whirl.
