They state on there site

Each NPRO refill cartridge pack includes 10 refills per package and each cartridge is equivalent to approximately 1/2 – 2/3s of a pack of traditional cigarettes

Not having tried this particular model can only go from ones i`ve tried but they usually are very optimistic in there calculations to say least!

I would say more like 3-4 cigarettes worth on cartridges is more realistic?

The best comparison is to think how many inhales you would do on a normal cig x 20? For example if you would on average take 7 inhales on a cigarette x 20 = 140

so need 140 vapes off a cartridge to equal 20 cigs? highly unlikely ha-ha!

I'm going back to the 510 and liquid and keeping this thing as a back up. It's just weak.. The carts are weak, the taste is weak, the hit is weak, get more in your mouth than you get smoke. Not impressed. Yeah they were highly optimistic, I was too when I bought it. Been a real disappointment all the way around. Too bad, cause they are giving a lot of first impressions to the general public, being sold in convenience stores.

NPro carts hold only 4-5 drops of liquid. I don't know where they get their numbers, it just doesn't add up. I would have to vape 4-5 CARTS to equal a pack of cigarettes according to my calculations. So let that discourage you, I think the numbers SOME retailers put out is just to make the customer think they can smoke it all day and get their nic fix perfectly. Misleading and false. As a 3 pack a day smoker I'm pretty sure that 1 puff every hour X 24 hours is going to do anything for me except lead to total frustration and possible murder!! I'd be lucky to get that many puffs from one cart anyway.

My calculation solution:

first, obtain or guesstimate the volume of your e-cigs liquid chamber. Then, multiply that by the strength of the liquid. Since an average analog cig provides 1 mg nicotine..... your answer is it's aproximate cigarette equivalent.

Ex: Blu Cigs "Full Flavor" carts are 18mg. their carts hold approx .4 ml of fluid. It's equal to about 7.2 cigs..... not the 15 they claim. And that's if half to 1/4 the liquid doesn't vaporize like usual.

It seems the 510 is the most liked model on ECF. My personal strength favorite is the 24mg liquid. the carts can hold about 1ml of liquid. = to about 24 analog cigs. Once again... assuming all liquid gets vaporized.... good luck with that :)

Take this formula, be merry.... and informed.
