I have a question about the 510. If I fill a cart with 11mg nicotine liquid when the cart is empty does that mean I consumed 11mg of nicotine? If not how do I calculate these kind of things or where do I go to find out.

eliquid is measured in mg/ml
If your cart holds 1ml liquid than you have vaped 11mg of nic.
A pack of Marlboro Reds are about 18mg total, but your body only absorbs a small amount of this. The rest is exhaled.
There are no studies about the amount of nic absorbed when vaping, but I think most of the nic is exhaled just like the tobacco cigs.

water vapour is bigger than smoke particles though so smoke delivers nic better than vapour.
I concur. I vape 3-4ml of 20mg/day.
I know that can't equal 3-4 packs of Marlboro, because I was a 1 pack a day smoker for 35+ years and that much nic would make me throw up.
How much nic you are getting is actually not a straightforward assessment. Blood tests have shown that given the amount of nic vaped, we end up with 10-40% of that nic remaining as nic in the body, with much of the rest showing up as cotamine, the oxide metabolite of nic. This is likely because much of the nic we vape is not taken in through the lungs, but orally and in the throat. Analogs delivery far more directly to the lungs, so the nic levels systemically are much higher.
So I have given up in trying to accurately figure out how much nic I am getting compared to smoking, although after taking into account these numbers it looks to be roughly the same in the end. That said, I simply vape until I am satiated, but the amount and concentration of the juice can vary depending on circumstances. The range of absorption amounts also is rather wide, and likely depends on the person and the way they hit, making the whole comparison thing, at least to me, rather moot.
That certainly doesn't keep companies from using some bogus comparisons to assign # analogs to carts, but this is just done to rope desperate smokers into their little scam. If you see these silly comparisons on some ecig website, run!
How much you get from a cart also depends on the quality of wicking and atty health. I use the ZFM mod on my 510, and whereas before with the stock cart and filler I would need to vape 24-36 mg to feel right, now it is 12-16 mg. Juice thickness also relates to this, and much of this difference I see is because I thin my VG juices some with vodka or water now. Too many variables to really compare well. Make sure everything is running optimally, and then just vape till you are satiated.
