How many hits are equal to a cig

[beckdg]

Hahah yeah it is .6 less then 3. I thought it was weird too lol

I want to see this printed on the label.

I believe you would be the first here to report vaping 2.4mg.

Well, how come my girlfriends parents vape on 22 mg of nic and I can barely hit there's cause it's so strong but when I hit mine it's fine, barely a throat hit or anything . The lowest nic that shop has is 2.4 mg of nic. Then the next one is 4.6 I highly doubt the shop by me is selling 46 mg nicotine lmao

The vape shop is expressing percent nic content if they list it as 2.4. Check again. That would be 24mg/ml. A 10ml bottle of juice would contain 240mg of nicotine.

General - What do the numbers or % in Nicotine e Liquid (e.g. 0 mg, 12 mg, 18 mg) mean?

I think we figured out it's not % in the OP. Especially as the maker also does 4.6 which would be pretty much unvapable. Anyway, if it's 2.4% the throat hit will be Intense...
I'm guessing the maker uses 24 or 48 mg/ml nic base and some simple formula, and then maybe corrects for flavorings with the 4.6 number but not at lower strengths? Best way would be to ask.

AHEM

Unflavoured nicotine e-liquid 24mg or 48mg - Soulblu

Most reports also describe the need for several slow primer puffs before it produces any vapor. When it does produce vapor it is harsh, bad tasting and inconsistent. The harshness may be connected to the nicotine content of Vuse cartridges which contain 4.8% or 48 mg of nicotine. That is a very strong concentration. For people trying to minimize their nicotine addiction this is not the nicotine level that you want.

This is what you originally stated, now given the fact that you keep going back and forth between % and MG it's hard to know what you actually have but if in fact the bottle is labeled as 2.4% nicotine then that juice is 24mg/ml.

you can get nicotine in strengths ranging from 0mg up to 52mg easily...while most shops are carrying mostly under 24mg these days doesn't mean that the higher strengths don't exist.

Throat his isn't reliant on nicotine alone there are other factors so there could be other reasons why you are barely getting a throat hit.

If in fact your supplier has 2.4% on the label and they are telling you it's only 2.4mg then they don't know what they are doing and they are mislabeling their product.
So, either you are getting it wrong by calling it 2.4% or they are getting it wrong by labeling it 2.4%...either way 2.4% = 24mg/ml

In fact I can't vape mad Murdocks radiator pluid at 0mg...

And I can't vape wiz labs nic in a 6mg mix...

However, I normally vape 50mg at high power.

Astute observation.

EDIT: 46 mg? Not recommended, you may get a headache.

Pffft!

That's not for you to decide for him.

Try to stop me from vaping 50mg @ 80 watts and we're going to have a problem.

When you start feeling a bit dizzy, or nauseous then you need to stop vaping for a bit until that goes away, usually about an hour. I recently bought a drip tip, so I'm going to use 0mg juice for that, continue using 3mg for my tank, and 12-18 for my vplum (pen).

Im sure many have also noticed how cigarettes (except rollies) tend to burn through even when not puffed on...thats because they contain certain highly toxic chemicals that are used in fuses by the firecracker industry. Another ploy to get people to smoke at a more rapid pace.

I am vaping on 2.4% nic. Not 24 , 2.4. I have hit my vape 138 times today. Is this more than a pac of smokes? I've went through about 4ml

once again, it definitely doesn't have the throat hit of 24 mg. I have tried 24 mg before and could not do it.

Ok. Right. Cool. Sure enough. Fair enough. Fairly brave. Anarcho-capitalism and all that.

I have a few bottles of 100 mg PG base. If it weren't for the fact there'll be nothing above 20 mg in Europe pretty soon, I'd welcome you to vape a bit of that. Just don't tell anyone at the hospital I told you so.

Just so you clearly understand the difference between % and mg/ml. There are 1000 mg's in a ml. If a liquid indicates 100mg that means 100mg of each 1000mg is nicotine or 10%. If a liquid indicates 2.4mg that means 2.4mg of each 1000mg is nicotine or .24%

Again throat hit isn't primarily a nicotine thing. Throat hit can be less or more depending on pg/vg ratio, wattage used, device used, type of coil, type of tank or rda. I have had 24mg nic juices with absolutely no throat hit and 6 mg juices that tore my throat up. Personally for me I tend to get a higher throat hit with higher pg juices and much less throat hit with higher vg juices.

How many hits are equal to a cig

That is one one the bits of data that will come out of the testing required for approval of vaping products.

 

[WharfRat1976]

Interesting analysis.

20 drops per ml. 3 puffs per drop. 60 puffs per ml.

At the '5 puffs = 1cig' formula, that makes 1ml roughly equal to 12 cigs.

So 4ml = 48 cigs....but since vaping gives you only around 25% of the nicotine delivered by cigarettes....4ml=nicotine content of 12 cigarettes.

Haha...these calculations are driving me nuts.

What is the nic content of the eliquid in this example?

4mls of 2.4mg nic is 9.6mg of nic or roughly 9 Marby Reds less 25% nic absorption lolz.
