Measuring nicotine content; Milligrams per millilitre or percentage of volume.

Well I liked Analog's historical explanation. I think origins are fascinating. So there.

I did too. I was just ribbing him because of his sig line. That's why I stuck my tongue out at him, yet again.

I think it may be too late to change the mg/ml standard. There's so many juice vendors out there using it, that it would be nearly impossible to impose any other standard now. As long as I know in relative terms what I'm getting, I don't really care either way, but I think the train has left the station on this one.

Its beer. I know it will be about 4.5%. Give or take a few percentages. I am not really very concerned about the exact number.

That's not beer, that's barley water! Bet you'd make it a habit to check the beer strength the first sunday you woke up at noon in my garden wondering if cuddling with garden gnomes makes you less of a man, and hold on, why did that goat just wink at me?

I don't see how "2.4% Nicotine by Volume" is any more helpful than "24mg/mL".

I didn't really understand this thread until I read that.

I agree thata % is better. It tells the consumer how much of the juice they're vaping is actually nicotine.. in a very visually understanding way. Most people are visual learners.

I have no idea what 24mg/ml actaully means. weight is based on density and can not be judged by visual means. But 2.4% by volume says a great deal to me.

They should at least keep both systems if they want to use %. Mg/ml is just more useful.
If they want to simplify, they should just establish a standard simplified scale (ultra light, light, medium, strong , extra strong, or something like that).

Well, given that those terms are banned for analog cigs now, under the current tobacco control act, I don't think we should try using them.

I didn't see where that article suggested it though, you get the link right?

It was a comment, not in the article.

Damn. Someone caught that one fast. I'll have to embed my Leaford-snipes a little deeper next time.

I foresee a stomped package in your future...

Why not just put both on the label? For example, many different products are labeled with both liters/ounces, lbs/kg, etc.

Something like "2.4% nicotine/24mg per ml."

When I received a sample of juice from Pure Smoker the level is marked as 1.6% which judging by the above and my laziness means low level
