Honestly, I'm not sure how the calculation works. I'm interested in knowing too. Maybe someone will pop in and educate us 
I used to live in Lebanon and had friends in Batavia when I lived in Ohio about 5 years ago!
I've lived in this area my whole life, although I have been over seas for the last 5 years or so. I wouldn't mind moving elsewhere, like SC maybe
I don't think it works quite like that. I'd have to go digging but somewhere I remember reading that the bioavailibility of the nic in the juice isn't nearly as high as it is in a cigarette.
I've basically found I need about double the nic in the juice to equate to what I used to intake in cigs. So in your case I'd say 2mL is closer.

I think I read somewhere that you only absorb a third of the nic compared to cigs. That would be 3ml per day. I think somewhere between 2 and 3ml per day is probably a good starting point.
Nobody can tell you for sure what you are going to need. I smoked a pack a day and use DIY 30mg juice(about 1ml/day). I did use 18mg for a short time and had the e-cig in my mouth constantly.
Ahh ok, I was just wondering if I was taking in 3ml's a day of 18mg juice if that was like tripling my nicotine intake compared to the 18mg's I get from a pack a day of analogs.
Nah, I doubt your intaking more than what you would if you were smoking. ETA: BTW nice to see another detroiter here. Well tech I'm in Lincoln Park but only by a few blocks!
That could be too. It's a memory that's at least 1.5 years old so TY.
NO, taking in 3ml/day = 54mg which is close to a pack of smokes (25s) at 2mg per or 50mg total.
Because of the lack of ammonia in e liquid (chemical used for accelerated ingestion of nicotine from the lungs into the bloodstream in cigarettes) the affects of vaping are not quite as quick. IMO where we felt a rush when we smoked almost immediately, I have come to find out that the soothing effects of vaping kick in 10-15 minutes after a vaping session. If one can control themselves (4 - 5 vaping sessions/hr), they will notice it and will not vape as much.
I started at 24mg and now vape 8mg, same daily consumption 3-4ml. So that would be at the high end 96mg down to 32mg. Because of the unknowns (what we actually ingest) using the same figures gives one a ball park figure to use, when the constant is the same. Hope this helps
Sounds about right.
You could dilute your D.I.Y. to less than 18 mg per mil so you could vape more that 1 ml a day.
I diluted mine to 3mg per mil so I could vape all day without getting a headache.
I've since dropped down to about .25 per mil as I am try to wean myself off nicotine for insurance purposes.
