I have been browsing through this forum for approximately 2 months.

I have to say almost all my questions have been answered and I have to thank all of the members for sharing their wisdom, especially the experts.

However, there is a main issue that I personally haven’t seen being answered or even addressed (enough). This issue has to do with the nicotine equivalency (or analogy) of the e-liquids and the analog (traditional) cigarettes.

More specifically, we often see e-liquids (, for example,) that bear the following content’ characteristics: 24mg – Nicotine, 10 ml.
Does this means that the whole bottle content, which in this case is 10ml., contains 24mg. of nicotine? Thus, each ml (of liquid) bears 2.4mg Nicotine (24mg divided by 10 ml.)?
Or is it the case that each ml. carries a value of 24mg. nicotine?

In my opinion, this is a very fundamental and important issue and I believe that this should also be clarified on e-liquid bottles.

I hope my question was clear and I also hope that this question is not answered anywhere else in this forum, because people hate repeats.
Should I also suggest to anyone that may probably have the answer to create a new threat with the answer and have it made a sticky;

Thank you all in advance,

SavvaS

X mg nicotine means X mg per 1 ml.

What that means in satisfying nicotine craving is more of a trial and error art than a science. I gave a stab at a very rough guide in Part 3 of my WWV Illustrated Guide.

For example, 'High' = 16-18 mg: probably good for a pack a day, regular cigarette smoker. I recommend that a new vaper buy three small bottles: one at my rough guideline level, one at a notch below, and one at a notch higher. So, if you were a pack a day, regular cigarette smoker, buy one 11-12mg bottle, one 16-18mg bottle, and one 24-26mg bottle. [If that 16-18mg does turn out to be good for you, you can mix the two other bottles to wind up with the same level (assuming they are compatible flavors).]

Or you could do all that with the multi-level cartridges included in many starter kits.
