Please explain nicotine levels

[Hitmetwice]

Are the liquids actually 10-100 times stronger in nic. than analogs?
I've searched but have not as of yet found an answer.
I would certainly think that if a smoker began vapeing 20mg liquid,
when he/she had previously been smoking analogs at a level rated
at "2.0mg" on the high end, one would for sure notice a difference
inhaling 10 times the level than what one received smoking analogs.

What am I missing here. Should there not be a decimal point in front
of the e-liquid nic level? Example, high strength 36mg is actually 0.36mg.?

To answer my own question the 36mg is a percentage by volume or per unit, thus making it
36/100 so the strength is actually .36mg?

Have I answered correctly? Sort of?

Thanks! Hitmetwice.

Your 2 posts on this subject are slightly different so instead of just deleting one, I moved the content of it over to here. Hope that is OK.

Nic. level on smokes...0.9-2.0mg./unit. Nic. level on juices 0-36mg. Is this not extremely high?

Is the right answer because the juice level is a percentage?
Thus 36mg as a percentage is 36/100 or 0.36mg.

Just need a little clarity, I'm sure if a smoker increased nic. intake
by 100% it would not go unnoticed. This must in fact be the case. No?

Thanks vets! Ron.

It's a complex issue with no straight answers. This thread in The Library has some info:

Because this is an interesting subject, and the same question is repeatedly asked, I decided to write a post on it in answer to your question. By its nature it has to be long, unfortunately:

Yes, these are all TLDR but they cover most of the ground. It certainly is confusing - in fact it confuses people who are supposed to know what they are talking about, like the Korean Health Ministry for example, who screwed up mightily on this (and several other things) this week. So let's help them out.

The short answer is: don't worry. If it feels right it is right.
