My Nicotine Factor = 48, What's Yours

[john333]

I arrived at the number 48 by multiplying the number of MLs I vape per day times my Nicotine level. In my case it is 4 mls per day times 12 mg - 4 x 12 = 48. I drip on RDAs most of the time and 12mg nic is intense. That's why I only vape 4 mls per day.

I'm hoping to get 100 responses to this thread so I can create a bell curve and see where I fall on the curve and also to see what the average factor is. Thanks for participating.

12 mg 5-6 ml a day vaping mostly an RTA and on occasions throughout the day I'll drip a RDA. Hope this helps.

20-30ish mL/day @3.6... 72-108? 15 or so in my tootle puffer + another 5-10 in a dripper.

 

[opticruby]

10ml-15ml a day @6mg. On drippers mostly.

Curious if "nicotine factor" is a widely used term or something you came up with ? Interesting either way. Does any one know what the average rate of absorption is ? does it depend on your vaping style ? i.e. how deep you inhale into the lungs and how lung before you exhale ? How does the absorption rate compare with cigarettes, patches or lozenges etc ....

FWIW i vape about 3 to 4 ml of 12 mg, although i have a feeling it has been less recently.

30, give or take a bit. 6mg x 5ml

I tried to do a poll on this ---> How much nicotine do you use in a day? | E-Cigarette Forum

42. 7ml x 6mg

12 mg 5-6 ml a day vaping mostly an RTA and on occasions throughout the day I'll drip a RDA. Hope this helps.

so your factor would be 60 to 72 avg out to 66 mg

16.

1mg x... 16ml strangely enough.

That's a good question. I think there are a couple types of nicotine one being free nic that I think absorbs very quickly. Sorry, don't have good info on that. Yes, I just made up "Nicotine Factor" for the purpose of this thread. I will give you a factor of 42 - 3.5x12. Thanks

6mg nic x 8 - 12 mls per day = 48 ~ 72
But, my absorption rate is dang near nothing, via nicotine/cotinine tests.

 

[jandrew]

Mine has been around 54 for a long time --- I used to do around 3ml @ 18mg, more recently it is around 4.5ml @ 12mg.

 

[john333]

I'm heading to work but will check out the thread tonight. Thanks everyone.

 

[ENAUD]

60+ for me. 10 or more mls per day at 6mg/ml, delivery methods vary, bottom fed, tanks, drippers at night.

 

[phanner]

42

7ml x 6mg

 

[Mazinny]

6mg nic x 8 - 12 mls per day = 48 ~ 72

what is a nicotine/cotinine test ?

This thread attempts to address some of your questions, and it is frequently linked here because of the comprehensive discussion of "vaping related symptoms". Buried way down it suggests that vaping delivers 50% of the nic. So if you vape 50mg/day, you are ingesting 25mg. It also suggests that a typical cig actually delivers 0.8mg per cig. So if you vape 50mg/day, the cig equivalent would be 50 *0.5/0.8 = 31.25 cigs

I think I vape around 60mg/day or less (15-20ml @ 3mg). The more I study it the more I increase my volume estimate . Because I make my own juice and switch off mods and various juice, I'm not really sure and haven't tried to track it. I probably smoked a minimum of 50 cigs/day, and at 0.8mg that would convert into 80mg of juice, or about 26ml. I don't think I vape that much, but OTOH not terribly less. I do feel far, far less "chained" to nic than I did when I was smoking. I've worked on reducing my nic level, but not the amount I vape. That might be the next step although I am experimenting with 1mg nic now.

@Mazinny, your quotation from "Topwater Elvis" is driving me nuts because I do not see it in this thread!

Nevermind the above, it magically appeared

And it is interesting because he says he is delivering 48-72mg. And per the link I gave you just above, that computes to about 30-45 cigs a day, and that should certainly peg a nic/cotinine test. Something does not compute here

 

[jhelliwell]

4ml per day @ 12mg - same as the OP!

Take me off your ' ignore' list?
