Compared to smoking, how much do you go through eliquid?

For example if you smoked 10 a day (Like me) would you then go through 10ML a week (Per 7 days)

Or do you go through more?
10 a day, I assume you are talking about 10 stinkies a day. That would equate roughly to 20mg of nicotine per day. If you are vaping 6mg ejuice that would equate to a little more than 3mls a day.

Let me work this out...

3mg x 30ml = 90mg of nicotine (I heard from googling that 60mg can kill you)

I vape 10ml of 18mg eliquid a day so that would be 180mg (How am I not dead?)

A cigarette contains between 8 and 20 mg of nic, so a pack a day would be 160-400mg a day. You only absorb about 1-2 mg of nic from each cig. While 60mg of nic probably would kill you, you would have to intake that much nic all at once. When you vape, you only take in a small fraction of the nicotine just like smoking.

Google (How much nicotine can kill you) or click on the link Google

And it says right at the top 60mg, so I am wondering how I am fine with 180mg a day?
E liquid is relatively inefficient at delivering nicotine to your blood stream. You don't end up with anywhere near your eliquids full amount of nicotine in your body.

You've got it wrong. That would be a 60mg dose of pure nicotine, ingested (probably intravenously?) all at once. And smoking 10 cigarettes over the course of a day doesn't add up to 180 mg of nicotine ingested. A lot of the nic in a cig is destroyed by combustion (burning), and what nic makes it into your mouth/lungs isn't fully absorbed either. A lot of it is simply exhaled. Regardless, It isn't accumulative; your body processes and rids itself of it throughout the day.

I honestly have no idea how many mls I go through a day. My best guess is anywhere from 5 to 8 mls.

Really wow? I guess you don't vape a lot then.

And on a side note... How are you not dead, 25 for 42 years = 380,000+ cigs!

You must have got heart disease, cancer or something?
Let's see. I smoked on an average, 30 smokes a day for 45 years. That comes out to just under half a million smokes and last time I checked I am still alive and fairly healthy for my age.

No disrespect meant by this but Sadly, your generation has been brainwashed by the "powers that be" and believe every lie/half truth ever thought up. Not your fault at all but Now that you have reached adulthood it is time to open your mind to the fact that your have been mislead.

oops, forgot to answer the question. I go through up to 6 mls of 12 to 15mg a day
