Gat,

You are correct, 18 mg, is equivalent to 18 mg in 1 mL of juice.

From what I understand, the 2.5 mg content is the total in a cigarette (between 2 and 3...). It seems that when you smoke, you actually absorb between 0.7 and 1.1 mg per cigarette (depends on what kind of cigarette and how you smoke).

Happy math!

Ok throw absorption out of the equation just for math purposes that makes 1 mil of 18 mg juice = to 7 smokes so 10 mil is just over 2 packs so how can this rep say I am vaping too much? Doesn't make sense and I had a feeling I would run into this problem with this rep and that is why I went looking for a rep from across the border to supply me I did find a great company I think I won;t know till I get my juice but then I will just buy 1 bottle every two weeks form my local rep just to keep him in my good graces and supply myself from online vendors for the rest.

If you were smoking 2.5 packs of cigarettes a day, then I would say you are doing very well on less than 2mL of 18mg a day. For heavy smokers like you, it is often suggested that you start vaping with 24mg. Does your rep visit any of the forums, maybe you should suggest he does ;), he may need a little more information to help him with his business. :)

If you read the Health section, people that are heavy vapors have posted their blood work results and amount of nicotine in their bloodstream is minimal. Bottom line, it hasn't been determined precisely how much nicotine we actually get. Probably less than you think. I vape enough that it keeps me off analogs- that's all I care about. I'm not going to OD on juice. If I didn't with cigarettes, I won't vaping.

Thanks a bunch guys yeah I think he needs to educate himself a little more on what he is actually selling,I think he means well but needs more info eh. but as I said at least I don't have to put up with him all the time now that I found an online vendor that takes paypal and ships to Canada. I will keep him happy and buy a bottle every two weeks and I will supplement with the online vendor what he doesn't know won't hurt lol.
At least I can tell my wife that he is full of it and that I am not over vaping like he says and now I feel much better I thought I was doing extremely well at 10 mls a week and from what you guys say I am and so at least I am off analogs is what I was thinking and now you all have made me feel much better so thanks again for all your help I don't know what I would do without you guys.:)

This is totally incorrect. Vaping is far less efficient that smoking in delivering nic to the system. And 1ml a day is NOT close to a pack of analogs.

I've read lots of studies saying this... The nicotine is not absorbed as effectively through vaping... Not saying it's factual... just saying I've read it alot...

It was actually one of the most humorous things I read about since, in one of the physician opinion pieces that I read with the physician against vaping... his sole basis was that e-cigarettes did not administer nicotine efficiently enough to be used alone as a tool for quitting smoking...

Hmmmm... 2 months in and I'd have to say he was grossly incorrect... but... this is just the opinion of an 18yr 1.5 PAD smoker who quit cold turkey the day she got her PV... and never once wanted to look back... I mean... what do I know... =)

Get a different vendor... you're not vaping too much. I run through 2-3ml per day @ 24mg... and I'm at 6v taking monstrous hits...

Yeah I figured out due to the amount of reply's from the guys and gals here but I had to ask cause he scared my wife a bit and I have not been able to convince her to try it and then he goes and says all what he said today I am vaping too much and going to get nic poising and blah blah blah even said didn't care what was online and that he cut one person off already.I had to find out from here cause I had already ordered 5 bottles from an online vendor and had a plan to not tell my local guy and just grab a bottle here and there from him in case something happens and my online order gets held up or whatever so instead of just telling him off. I will let him think that a bottle is lasting longer then it is and supplement the rest online.I am so glad I have found this forum I really don't know what I would do without you guys and your vast wisdom and knowledge.

Swedishfish nailed it. Come on people, snap out of it. There's no way your vaping habits are anywhere near as harmful as analogs. Vape em' if you got em, and be grateful our generations are lucky enough to even have the option of a healthier alternative.
Stay Vaped Peoples

That's my opinion as well so I was vaping like I felt I needed to and that's how much I went through and then he comes here today to sell me a bottle cause I needed some to hold me over long enough to get my order, and that is what he said I am vaping too much and he even went as far to say he cut a guy off because he felt the guy was vaping to much so he kinda got me worried I am not worried anymore and I will continue to vape as I need and not worry :)

I vape 6-7ml a day. Is that too much? For me it isn't. I vape about 5 different flavors a day.

It sounds to me like this rep you go to is only in it for the glory of it. It doesn't make sense that he would cut you off. Doesn't money mean anything to him or is he a doctor of some sort also? Just curious. I don't know how Canada operates but the USA is all about greed. I have never heard of a vendor cutting someone off because they vape too much. Wow, I thought I had heard it all. Good luck and no you aren't vaping too much.

Why the hell is it any of his business how much you vape is beyond my comprehension.
Tell him to either take your money and give you the juice or get the hell out!
You aren't vaping too much, you would certainly feel it if you were dude. :?:
Shame on him for scaring your wife too! :glare:

Cut one person off?? I am getting visions of the movie Less than Zero.

Is this place a lot more expensive?: Canada Vapor

The problem I have with any Canadian online vendors is no nic content,With that said the prices are probably comparable to the rep that brings me my juice but way more expensive then the online vendor I just ordered from and I was able to get nic content.
