So here is a weird question that just popped into my Head

[TheReign]

So Cigs that usually contain about 1.1mg of nic is roughly equivalent to that of 12mg in joose right? So if one say myself was vaping 12mg juice at this time, taking a few puffs at a time, Would that be considered like 3 stinks? is it 1.1 in the whole of a stinky? or as you smoke it your getting that much everytime you take a drag? I'm guessing the whole stink has the 1.1, so if the juice in your tank has 12mg, does every puff contain 1.2mg? I can't seem to wrap my brain around this Lol

We don't absorb as much nicotine into our bodies through vaping as we would smoking, so it's not the same. Vaping it's mostly through our mouths and noses, smoking is lungs. Lungs are more efficient and it hits faster.

Howcome I neva seen you before on here Mauiian!? Lol Yeah Im always curious as to how much we really get in compared to an actual ciggy. and I know about the mouth nose and cheeks, Would be nice if there was a study done about it. I inhale to my lungs as compared to some who just let it sit in the mouth before they inhale or not. Wish there was a way to find out

Actually not even close. There is a huge explanation somewhere here on ECF but basically how long of a puff you take, how much liquid your device is vaporizing, how you inhale, how you exhale, particle sizes, and about 20 other factors make it impossible to directly calculate how many puffs is equal to 1 cigarette. The general consensus was that your body will tell you when you have consumed your normal dose.

. . . so if the juice in your tank has 12mg, does every puff contain 1.2mg? I can't seem to wrap my brain around this Lol

That's 1.2 mg/ml. We should question the assumption that every puff contains one ml of liquid. Just offhand, that sounds like a lot.

Also, as mentioned above, very little nicotine is adsorbed by the lungs, especially in comparison to smoking.

 

[TheReign]

Yah I wish I could find that Lol, If you ever find it plz post here Im rather curious. Too bad there isn't I mean I can tell how much is enough but Compared to a stinky you know I haven't had insomnia problems before until vaping, Not like i'm complaining i'll just hold off on the vaping at night / tone it down a bit but wouldn't it be nice if we could directly/ if not have some sort of general idea? Lol, maybe it's just me

Yeah that would be quite alot haha, My brain and body would be hurting with that much nicotine if that were the case.

 

[ScottP]

I wanted to add that someone vaping a quad coil monster at 20 watts is going to be vaporizing a LOT more juice per second that someone using a single coil BCC at 7 watts. That will translate to more nicotine per puff so less puffs to equal an analog vs the single coil. Without knowing EXACTLY how much juice per puff is being vaporized, how much nicotine is left behind on the coil, and such makes even starting such a calculation impossible.

 

[TheReign]

Mehh, Just a random thought I figured we could elaborate on, Guess I have my answer Lol

 

[Stosh]

The 1.1 mg for cigs is the amount of mic that a smoker absorbs from smoking, the actual nic in a cig is much more, somewhere around 10 mg
(setting fire to something is not always the best way to deliver the dosage..).

Easy comparison, a PAD smoker would get 1.1 mg per cig for 22 mg total for the day. While a vaper at 12 mg using 3 ml (average per day for many vapers) would get 36 mg!! EXCEPT vapers only absorb about 50% of that nic, so only gets 18 mg of the nic, less actually than the smoker.

 

[TheReign]

Thats right around what i was headed for Lol, There needs to be more studies like that so the people can learn more about the nicotine delivery system Lol

Nah I hear you... vaping is the cigarette that never ends Will say that with tobacco I actually did over-nic myself at times, but I don't seem to do it with my PV. Even though I vape most of the day. I might have thought that maybe my juice should have more nicotine in it but when I try to drop a level I get cravings to smoke.

I just saw you on another thread for the first time right before I saw you posted this, but I didn't have anything about that one. But yea, Nevada. Why everybody gotta move to Nevada all the time?

 

[Stosh]

A really good study is very hard. Do you use a n00b vaper on an Njoy cigalike or a vetran with a Kayfun - microcoil w/cotton to measure the nic absorbed by a vaper? Who you pick will vastly affect the study results...

Where did you get those numbers? I've heard everywhere from 10% to 40% absorbed through vaping.

Also, as a statement to the thread. That number about how much nic you get from a cigarette is just as hard to pin down as vaping because it's just as dependent on how you smoke, what kind of tobacco you smoke, moisture level, how deeply you breathe yadayadablahblahblah


Basically, there's no way to know besides having blood tests run on your own blood/nic levels to accurately answer this question. The variation is upwards of 10 magnitudes difference.
