The current consensus based on the limited testing that has been done indicates that ~10% of the nicotine that is vaped is actually absorbed.
Also, if a carto is 36mg, that doesn't mean that it contains a total of 36mg of nic. It means that it contains 36mg of nic PER ml of eliquid. I don't know offhand how many ml's are contained in an average carto. And even if it held exactly 1ml, you would of course not be able to vape it completely dry.
So yeah, it's pretty difficult to compare and contrast exact amounts of nicotine absorbed from the various VERY different delivery methods. Heck, it's hard enough to figure out how much is absorbed from any one given source - it's much harder when you start trying to compare them. How your own brain/body feels (self-titration) is probably the only useful and currently most realistic way to "calculate" it.

I found the following abstract-
Emphasis added.
I posted this on the smokeless tobacco section after starting a thread there. I've been having vivid dreams and one very vivid about smoking.
Being a daily snuser plus vaping, I'm inclined to believe it has nothing to do with nicotine withdraw or tobacco. If anything, I'd be more inclined to believe it has more to do with additives in cigarette tobacco or just the changes in habit from smoking cigarettes. I'm certainly getting both nicotine and tobacco specific alkaloids, just not those combusted chemicals that are the mystery of cigarettes. Very interesting subject.

Since I started vaping I have had alot of strange dreams about big furry spiders that like me. lol They like to crawl on me and when I try to get rid of them they hop. Creepy.
I have sleep paralysis since quitting smoking and starting vaping. I've Always had lucid dreams and sleep paralysis but never as often as every night.
Last week or two I've had the best consistent dreams since my childhood, I think. I love the dream world... waking up in the morning feels like leaving a movie theatre. Just for the record, I had one fragment with smoking, guilt etc.
Hard to guess what causes it but it may be worth getting a little nic OD before going to bed and see if the higher nic intake is to thank Probably "not advisable"

Bummer! I feel left out!! No vivid dreams for me.....feel like I'm missing out on something!!
While I have had the vivid dreams, I have yet to have a lucid dream which I want to have so very badly. Many years ago, I did a great deal of research on inducing lucid dreams and succeeded in having a few, but never could gain full control of my consciousness in the dreams. They would often recommend a small amount of caffeine and if you used tobacco, nicotine just before sleeping. The dream world is my favorite place to explore since I cannot get out much these days.

Hi Rev, I tried hemisync audio files on a couple of occasions, it was great but I never had enough patience. They have lucid dreaming course too.
My dreams are like stories too. I really can't have a good day unless I've dreamed the night before. I really have to have a dream in order to feel like I've slept at all. Dreaming is essential to life and memory.Last week or two I've had the best consistent dreams since my childhood, I think.

FYI to the whole thread: Lucid doesn't mean just vivid... a Lucid dream is a dream in which you realize you are dreaming and are then able to manipulate your dream environment.
Interesting about Lucid dreams.
I seem to be able to make choices in my dreams, like if I reach a fork in the road I can make a decision whether to go left or right rather than just watch what happens like viewing a film. But I'm not aware that I'm actually dreaming.
Is that considered a Lucid dream?

I quit cigarettes for 3 weeks & 2 days now, I'm also having dreams that i can actually remember when i wake up. It's been a VERY VERY long time since i could remember a dream, maybe even years! It's been happening almost every night since i quit. I almost never had any dreams before i quit!
See! Another plus for quitting cigs and vaping instead!
The sub-conscience is a great place to visit!

Yeah, but I'm not sure I'd want to live there...See! Another plus for quitting cigs and vaping instead!

Yes it is. Making conscious efforts in the dream state is what defines Lucidity. (When used in that way at least) I know a lot about lucid dreams, when I was on Effexor for 2 years it was insane how much my dreaming changed. I've always been able to remember every detail of my dreams but before taking Effexor they were simple dreams... while on it I would have these elaborate dreams where I would interact with people of my choice and do basically whatever the hell I wanted to. I've had some amazing ones that I've turned into stories by just writing them down. Effexor permanently changed how I dream. Makes you wonder what big pharma is putting in our pills >_>
