If I vape 4ml of 18mg liquid how does this equate to nicotine intake from smoking 15 cigarettes a day? Just curious.

It's hard to say, 18mg is like a med strength smoke in terms of intake but it is measured differently, maybe this thread can help you

i vape at around 18mg and i would say its the equivalent of smoking a roll up but it depends what voltage you are using. i vape at at least 5 volts and that makes a big difference. i use a usb pass thru with no battery just a strait 5 volts. best of luck to you.
I smoked 15 a day and consume 1-2ml of 18mg per day. To quit tobacco, I vaped 2-3ml and have since cut down.
4ml of 18mg is 72mg, but you can probably half that at least in terms of yield i.m.o.
We only have anecdotal evidence and lots of supposition.
If we knew for sure, it would be really good.
It means you have not smoked 15 cigarettes that day and equates to better health. The maths is good to know in order to base your new found hobby against your old habit. The result is a far better feeling.
Vaping is completely different to smoking, we can try and compare it all we want but the truth is its completely subjective, to the quality of the ejuice and equipment your using, the way you inhale, and differences in tolerance form person to person.
for a start, the absorption of the nicotine when vaping, is much slower, 30 secs to get to the brain, as compared to 8 seconds from smoke. vapour droplets are significantly larger in size than smoke, so they are not able to penetrate the lungs as deeply, and lung absorptions is probably equal or less to that in the mouth.
to absorb the most out of puff, its best to slowly drag into the mouth, hold it there a second or 2, inhale the vapur into the lungs, then breathe it out through the nose. a combination of the mouth, lung and nasal absortion areas will likely get you the most nic absorption
most experienced vapers say around 3-4 drops of eliquid is equal to a cigarette. so 4ml's worth of juice is around 15-20 cigarettes in terms of number of puffs. the 18mg nicotine is suppose to be a medium strength 0.8-1mg cigarette.
though newcomers to vaping will have a tendency to over compensate with a higher nicotine strength and intake, to compensate for the lack of MAOI's they use to get from cigarettes.
