Some packs I've had (Pall Mall I think) quoted figures for "thin" and "thick" rollies. They were in the range that Kate's just posted.
How many would you get out of half an ounce? I believe I used to get just over 50 out of a 25g pack.

I never smoked rollups so have no clue.
Said I would meet her for coffee tomorrow with a mixture of carts and juice so she can try them.
Was trying to figure out what strength juice would be best.
I have 14mg 18mg 24mg Juice + the prefilled carts that came with my kits.
Looking at your last reply may be I dont have to worry about any of my juice being too strong for her then.

IMO, for what it's worth
, is that Amber Leaf is the Silk Cut of Rollie smoking. I'm usually a 30-40 a day rollie smoker and I've survived all day [today] on High strength carts, well apart from the cart that fell apart.
I need more of a kick at certain times i.e. first morning '...', after meals etc, to get me off analogues for good, and for that i'll use juice.
I was a 50 gram a day (1oz) Old Holborn smoker. Not little thin things but big fat roll ups. I found the high carts that came with the 901 ok for the nicotine content. I never found amber leaf at all satifactory.
This may help.

I've just come off handmades. I was smoking Golden Virginia which is a little bit stronger and fuller flavoured than Amber Leaf. I was also using filters.
I found the 14mg e-Juice, which came with the e-cig, was a little light to begin with, but after a couple of days, it's fine.

This is from the back of an American Spirit rolling tobacco bag.
Thin 5.2mm diameter = 0.7-1.0mg nicotine
Thick 7.2mm diameter = 1.3-1.6mg nicotine
Quite shocking how much unfiltered nicotine I'd been pumping into myself, not to mention all the other crap. And wannabe quitters say rollies are easier to quit from, I call tosh on that.

They certainly are not a low nicotine or tar option. One common argument is that they contain less additives than pre-made cigarettes. I probably agree with this. Its been posted on here how companies developed additives just to increase the effect of nicotine (so a 1mg nicotine cig could have much more of a hit than its rating suggests).
From the test posted above, the mean results per "Fine Cut Smoking Article" (per roll up) were:
Amber Leaf - Nicotine 1.19mg - Tar 12.7mg
Cutters Choice - Nicotine 1.02mg - Tar 13.8mg
Drum - Nicotine 0.79mg - Tar 11.7mg
Golden Virginia - Nicotine 1.27mg - Tar 14.3mg
Old Holborn - Nicotine 1.00mg - Tar 13.1mg
All tests were done on the "thin" specification, as they say this is more representative of the typical UK smoker.
One of these "thin" rollies is standardised at 400mg tobacco (0.4g). Therefore a 12.5g packet (referred to as a "half ounce" but actually short of this measure) at this spec would make 31 rollies. Obviously with these there is huge variation in the construction.
Well I met her today and she is going for a 901 & simon e-cigs Like Smoke 14mg.
Did not like the Bulldog - Hilton - Cigar - French pipe or pre-filled carts.
My dad smokes Golden Virginia rollies, I did not realise it had that much Nicotine 1.27mg and Tar 14.3mg
Thanks to you all for the input.

Wow, it was hard to find but I finally found the contents of Amber Leaf.
Nicotine: 1.3mg/g Tar: 15mg/g
So half an ounce of Amber Leaf contains 18.51mg nicotine.
Nicotine: 1.3mg/g Tar: 15mg/g
So half an ounce of Amber Leaf contains 18.51mg nicotine.
the other figures suggest roughly 40-ish mg dont they.. which does kinda fit with my ex half an ounce of golden virginal per day habit turning into two or three ml of 24mg liquid per day..
18 mg per half ounce dosnt match..
i did squeeze the last smidge of nicotine out of my half an ounce.. thin prison type rollies not big fat wasteful ones..
trog
ps.. my eldest son used to roll big fat ones and get thru up to 1.5 ounces per day.. he did literally throw away in a .... more than i smoked.. he now uses roughly the same amount of e liquid that i do..

I don't know what you mean.
You mean half an ounce of tobacco would contain 40mg nicotine?
Half an ounce= 14.17 grams. 40 divided by 14.17= 2.82mg nicotine per gram which wouldn't be even legal to sell.
I think you have to accept the fact that you've tripled or even quadrupled your nicotine intake with e-smoking

Yo Han, the figures above were from a UK Government lab test. It is an ISO test. "Thin" spec rollies are made up of: 400mg tobacco, a standardised paper and made with a standardised rolling machine.. "Thick" rollies are made using 750mg tobacco and a different paper.
These are then smoked in a prescribed way using a smoking machine. The contents of the smoke is then analysed. Its basically the same test as all cigarettes have to be put through to get the tar and nicotine ratings.
From this test, a 400mg tobacco roll up was yielding 1.27mg nicotine with Golden Virginia when smoked. Smoking is not a hugely efficient way of getting nicotine from tobacco. If you were to chemically extract nicotine from 400mg of the same tobacco with 100% efficiency, I'm quite sure that more than 1.27mg would be in it.
