how much nic are we really getting

[hook425]

Does anyone really know how much Nic we get with say.. 24 mg juice in equivalency to a single drag of analog smoke ?

Do we have any data to back this up ?

I know I am getting Nicotine as a former fairly heavy smoker off analog, but I don't want to increase my nic consumption...

The absorption rate from smoke versus vapor is very different, so a direct comparison is not really possible.

There have been studies that show we only absorb about 10% of the nicotine from vapor.
But others cite flaws in those studies.

Some have done personal cotinine testing, and think they may be getting as much as 40% absorption.

There's an enormous thread on this in the Nicotine section:

Think the correct answer is we don't know. And for that matter I don't really care. I didn't know how much nicotine I was getting when I smoked analogs, just smoked them one after another every chance I got. Now, I vape constantly every chance I get. If it's not enough I'll either vape more or increase the strength of the juice. If it's too much I'll show symptoms that will let me know to cut down/back. JMHO
