In 1 mill with 12mg strength =12 mg total in the tank.There are 20 drops in one mill.So 12mg divided by 20 drops =.6mg in one drop.

I dont know the exact number of puffs you get in one tank,not im sure its more than 50,so by my math you are getting very little in one puff,one drop can give you 2- 5 pufffs.

You get something like 4 or 5 puffs per drop. I read it on one of the stickies or an article in the Infozone, so it has to be true.

Assuming that those puff counts are correct, and assuming a nicotine absorption rate of 27% percent (the average of 15% and 40%, the min and max I've seen cited), that means that at 24mg, 19 puffs = 1 full-flavor cigarette (1mg nicotine), and at 18mg, 19 puffs = 1 full-flavor cigarette.

That's just how the math works out. Based on my personal experience, those puff counts strike me as a bit high, which means that nicotine absorption is likely higher than 27.5%. Adjusting the absorption rate to 35% means 15 puffs at 24mg and 21 puffs at 18mg. That strikes me as closer to my experience (though, admittedly, my experience with cigarettes -- vast though it may be -- doesn't yield a quantifiable comparison).

ive noticed that 1ml = more like 30 drops. 20 is low, but it is regarded as the norm at lot of places/sites, but if you do your measuring, 1ml = 30+ drops most of the time. the viscosity of your liquid will matter as well as the size of the hole on your dropper.

the type of atomizer will also matter regarding how many drops per puff. a cartomizer will vaporize at a different rate than an atomizer which will be different from a rba which will be different from say a nova tank for example.
when i drop 3 drops in my traditional atty, about 4 puffs later, i get a dry hit. but if im puffing lightly, ill get more like 5 or 6 draws.
