Tried an Njoy "equal to two packs" disposable the other day...what a joke.

Sorry I dont know how to select the quote!....But I'm responding to the point about comparability with the amount of nicotine IN 2 packs. A typical cigarette CONTAINS around 11mg of nicotine. A government machine taking one 35ml puff/minute may absorb about 1.1mg from it, but a smoker will more typically absorb around 1.3-2mg and can easily get 3mg. But if we are going to compare like with like, the disposable ecig claims to CONTAIN 24mg of nicotine, but the pack of cigarettes CONTAINS 20*11=220mg of nicotine.
Now if we are interested in comparing like-for-like absorption, the smoker will typically absorb around 1.5mg nicotine, obtaining a peak blood nicotine of concentration of around 14 ng/ml, whereas from a disposable ecig we dont know exactly how much nicotine they will absorb, but the best estimate is that from a single puffing session they will get a blood nicotine level of around 1-2mg/ml. So whichever way you cut it, the labeling is deceptive.

Thank you for the correction. I'm trying to remember now where I read the 15-24mg/pack number. Imagine if they used total content for their pack equivalent - 220mg in a pack vs. 24mg in a cart (generously assuming 1 ml/cart) It would make it equivalent to 2 cigarettes! lol!

I always wanted to see their calculations too.
My thoughts are that mayne contains equal amount of nicotine in 2 packs. vaping doesn't give me that feeling in mouth when chain smoking. Second cigarette is never that tasty as first and then you come to a point when you just can't smoke more. With vaping there's no effect, I can chainvape non-stop for hours with some delicious liquids...

I think my first days of vaping were actually somewhere around the advertisement, that was with crappy liquid that I didn't want to vape, and used it as cigarette. Like once an hour smoke.

That went completely south with my first order to arrive, AiV...

Just out of curiosity yesterday, I put my Twist aside and bought a disposable NJOY (Bold/Menthol).

Took a few drags on it in the car on the way home. Took four more puffs on it after I got home. Put it away and went back to my eGo Twist. Puffed on it ONCE this morning and it died! Wow..if I'm ever in some weird situation where I don't have my vaping goodies with me, I'll get the Blu disposable instead of the NJOY. I can get a week or so (smoking it just like I smoked the NJOY..a few puffs here and there) from a Blu. Not even 24 hours out of an NJOY!
