nicotine levels in your body

[the mechanic]

Has anyone gone to the doctor to get there nicotine levels checked? If so what was it ? what level of nicotine do you vape? how often do you vape?

Here's a report on a scientific paper on that question: Saliva cotinine levels in users of electronic cigarettes — TobaccoToday

I didn't get tested, but my doctor told me that switching to e-cigs, I went through an adjustment and that I'm not getting as high a level as I was when smoking.

from what I can tell it doesnt seem to be as High of a level of nic as when I was smoking analog cigs i vape at 16mg/ml but am constantly vapeing

As you don't absorb as much nicotine as fast while vaping, I would think that the levels would be lower if you used the ecig at the same pace. That being said, I vape a lot more than smoking.

The doc tried to read my levels but his equipment kept bursting into flames every time he began to administer the test...

This might be in this long thread, but has anyone ever tried to have a blood test to see what the results are? (Other than the one above where the machine malfunctioned)?

I am a novice as well, but I think some confusion, or at least why new users ask about nicotine levels so often, is because the delivery is different. With analogs, you knew how much each dart contained; 6mg or whatever per. With e-cigs, the measurement system is different - nicotine/mg - and this is somewhat confusing. I needed to know how much liquid my tank contained (eGo-c uses a 1.2mg tank, I believe) than put that against the ratio of nicotine in my juice. All of that against how many refills of my tank per day and I now have a good approximation of how much nicotine I am currently getting. It is simple math, but perhaps it eludes many and even with the numbers, it is still something to get your head around. I am confident (through feelings alone) that I am neither getting too much (nausea) or too little (typical quitting analogs feeling) with my vaping. I have, after just 3 days, found the sweet spot for me. Trial and error, but close monitoring will find the right answer for everyone.

Nic levels also depend on your vaping style. That's one reason it's hard to suggest what strength new vapers should start with.
