Need Help Calculating

[Marcel K]

hi I am using a
Koopor Primus With A TFV12 Prince
And I want to calculate how much nicotine I take in 1 hit
here's the details
I vape 18mg
with 50watts
4 second average hit
And about 600 puffs a day
how much mg do I get per hit?

appreciate all help

you need to tell exactly how many milliliters of the eliquid goes into those 600 puffs.

well it's 8 ml per tank let's say about 120 puffs

 

[ENAUD]

well it's 8 ml per tank let's say about 120 puffs

8ml X 18mg/ml = 144mg nicotine per tank

144 divided by 120 = 1.2 mg nic per puff. this is how you can roughly figure this out, precise measurements would give precise results.

added, there is no way to figure out how much of this nic you actually absorb, this is just how much is available in the vapor...

thanks for the quick help needed that info thanks again

As ENAUD mentioned, your Total Nicotine intake per 8ml Tank is 144mg.

But as he also mentioned, knowing the average amount of Absorbed Nicotine (like how Cigarettes are rated in the USA) is more difficult.

Some studies were done comparing 1st and 2nd (and 3rd ?) generation e-Cigarettes for Nicotine Absorption rates. Can't seem to find them in my Bookmarks.

But as I recall, newer hardware Absorption Rates were somewhere in the 25 ~ 40% range.

And your 600 puffs a day equates to 0.72 grams of nicotine....eg nearly 3 quarters of a gram.

ETA:

I found this Study work that was done Dr. Farsalinos...

Nicotine absorption from electronic cigarette use: comparison between first and new generation devices

(Actual Study - Same Name for Hyperlink)
Nicotine absorption from electronic cigarette use: comparison between first and new-generation devices

But what I couldn't find was a Nice, Condensed, Overview that the ECF had that showed some simplified Graphs and Charts.

If I come across it, I'll post it.

While these numbers are correct, I doubt the OP is using ALL of that 8ml before refilling. Most people refill when it get low to avoid dry hits. So the actual used amount is probably more like 6.5ml to 7ml.

hence the precise measurements comment. The larger the sample number compared to the puff counts would give a better estimation, ( like puff counts compared to ten, twenty, fifty ml) which is all this type of figuring is capable of anyhow...

is that too much ?

 

[charlie1465]

is that too much ?

LOL...no whatever works for you. it's just interesting to think about it as a quantity you can probably imagine. Good luck to you.

 

[Marcel K]

thanks

Marcel, as Charlie1465 said, your nic level should be just high enough to satisfy the desire for nic. Too high and you will experience a dizzy sensation and cold fingers, probably like the time you first started smoking cigarettes. Nicotine contracts small blood vessels. To much and the above will happen.

Whatever keeps you off the cigarettes is enough nic. Find your nic level and adjust to the minimum level that satisfies and keeps you from smoking. The number of puffs and the nic percentage is something that you will automatically adapt to as you continue to vape.
