what would the mg/ml content be for 15% nicotine?

[Zach904]

My professor has recently started vaping and after class, he was ranting about the fact that "idiots are vaping 15% nicotine" and that someone was going to die of an overdose. I told him that I wasn't sure what the mg/ml content of that would be, but that it would be virtually impossible to overdose while vaping, because your body would reject it (puking) before you consumed enough to actually overdose. I went on to tell him that I had heard of some people having to start off at high levels such as 36 or even over 40mg/ml but I have no idea what 15% nicotine would be. Anyone know? He claims that he vapes and catches a buzz at 1% nicotine and it needs to be regulated to that level because people don't need anything more than that. FYI, the guy wasn't a smoker to start with. I had to bite my tongue over that remark, seeing as the semester isn't over and I would like to keep my A

BTW professor, if you ever read this and figure out who wrote this, no hard feelings bud. I plan on educating myself so I can educate you!

Usually the highest strength nic as a private person can buy is a 10% concentration in pg/vg. Maybe he means 15mg eliquid which to a knowledgeable person is mild. Hate to say it but just because he is a professor doesn't make him smart although some in this country beg to differ.

Your professor doesn't know what he's talking about. The highest concentration you can find is 10%, and that's just the nic. With no PG/VG, you aren't going to get any vapor, and you haven't added any flavoring. Nobody is doing that, your professor is just making up problems to complain about.

If 18mg is 1.8%, then 15% would be 150mg...which is poisonous levels.

 

[pdib]

15% nicotine would be 150mg/ml to you and me. That'll cook yer goose.

12mg would be 1.2%

18mg = 1.8%

24mg = 2.4%

. . . .. . .like 'at.


the professor's 1% would be 10mg/ml. Reasonable, likely.

Thank you for the good laugh Zach .

So ya, "idiots are vaping 15% nicotine". 15% nic is 150 mg/ml. He means 15 mg/ml, which is 1.5% nic.

This professor doesn't know what he's talking about. What subject is his degree in?! Wait a sec, does he actually have a degree

 

[Nermal]

His statement about 15% nicotine is totally out of the ballpark. As mentioned, 10% is the highest concentration most of us can buy anywhere. I vape at 3.6%, and that's considered high. I've heard of mixes as high as 4.8%, but not many blenders are willing to furnish even that.

Your professor might have lotsa smarts, but he lacks knowledge.

Ignorance through education. It's the NEW American way.

 

[Taowulf]

I live and breathe and have vaped 36mg for over two weeks. I vape less than I smoked, and now that I am dropping down to 24mg, I am vaping a lot more....of course, the right equipment is helping that increase too. When work starts again tomorrow, I will be vaping less. Hopefully will be able to get by on 24mg.

Mind you, off-topic ignorance is normal in most fields, and then you add the Dunning-Kruger effect in there and it gets ugly. I do see it with professors, and just as often with engineers and doctors.

He might have meant 15 ml/mg, but that's not going to be enough to overdose on realistically (by the old toxicity standards it would). I started out at 22 when I stabilized (I was already doing DIY at the time so that's the reason for the odd number). Even that's only 2.2% (a touch less, but not enough to matter). By the old standards, I should have been dead before noon every day, and again around 5 PM. I survived and felt fine, thank you.

While 15% is available to labs and pharma companies and the like, it isn't available to the likes of you and me. Anything over 10% (a touch less, actually, but again it's close enough) or 100 mg/ml isn't sold to the causal DIY person. And of course we'd never vape it at 100 mg/ml--36 is really the absolute outside, with 24 being the more normal maximum.

lol, your professor is the idiot with a limited understanding of concentrations.
Professor of what? Hope it's nothing important enough for him to have access to pharmaceuticals.

 

[Dusif]

If someone were to vape a 150mg/ml juice... They would get so buzzed before they even inhaled O_O... I think the prof might have heard some wierd rumors

He's obviously confusing percent with mg. If he's vaping 1% then he's vaping 10mg nicotine in his juice. He may very well be extremely intelligent in his area of expertise but not this area.

Hi Zach 904

That's funny. I guess if he wasn't a smoker before he started vaping maybe he would get a buzz. A little dictatorial to want to limit everyone to 1 mg!!!!

I haven't actually got a clue. I'm on 18mg and am going to start mixing a little 15mg and hopefully gradually decrease a little.
Cheers Susie

1000 milligrams in a gram

500 mg per gram would be 50 percent
100 mgs 10 percent
50 mg 5 percent
10 mg 1 percent

explain it to your professor in parts per million and really confuse him lol

tell him you are vaping 18000 ppm so his stuff is nothing

The highest permitted strength nicotine for a single person can buy is a 10% concentration in pg/VG. If it exceeds than a person can die or it may even result in heart attack.

Hope he isn't your math professor.

Not going to be easy trying to pass a course where the professor can be in such obvious error with a simple subject. What happens when the subject matter becomes actually difficult? Good luck!
