So you are vaping 100 mg of nic a day. Yes the approx equivalent of 5 packs.....how's your pulse[emoji15]I've heard that, but not sure it's accurate.
I vape about 10ml of 10mg per day.
That would mean I smoking 5 packs a dayNot....
Well that's what it was when I was smoking cigarettes. It is probably still the same. I mean my doc checks it every time and never says anything about it
Hahah yeah it is .6 less then 3. I thought it was weird too lolAre you feeling sick to your stomach or are you getting jittery? If you answer no then, no you are not vaping to much. If the answer is yes, then yes it is time to put your vaporizer down until the symptoms go away.
I am curious as to why your e-liquid maker is mixing at those strengths. Normal strengths are 3,6,12,18,24, and so on. When you say you are vaping 2.4 we see it as 24 mg. It seems you are saying it is .6 less than 3 mg. Definitely confusing
I really think you are overthinking this and worrying to much about every part of your vaping journey. My advice would be to keep an eye on how you are feeling. Your body WILL tell you if you are vaping to much or if your nic strength is to high or to low. You do know that worrying is detrimental to your health don't you. Try to relax and enjoy this journey to a healthier alternative to smoking.
Thanks guys, I dropped down to 2 mg of nic. So basically if I smoke 3 tanks a day of my cleito which holds 3.5 ml, that's a pack of smokes a day. I usually do 2 tanks. So it would be less than a pack cause you absorb the nicotine differently
Now Google Foo nicotine effects on lung tissue and vaping/lung tissue.So... If I'm filling my Griffin 22mm 4-7 times a day with 6mg Nic eliquid....
Griffin 22mm is supposed to be 3.5ml of eliquid, but I'll go with three as I don't vape it dry before refilling...
So, 3ml x 4 refills = 12mls to 3ml x 7 refills = 21mls Nic at 6mg
So 6 x 12 = 72 or 3.6 packs a day or 6 x 21 = 126 almost 6.3 packs a day?!?
I'm not sure BUT those numbers CAN'T be right, or I think I would my heart would have beat it's way out of my chest.... Heart rate at rest is between 70-80 bpm....When I smoked, I smoked 1-1.5 packs a day of Marlborough Lights. I'm no expert, but just doesn't seem right at all, or even close!!!!
Ok, some quick GoogleFoo...
“Compared to smoking one tobacco cigarette, the electronic cigarette device and liquid used in this study delivered ⅓ to ¼ the amount of nicotine after 5 minutes of use. - See more at: Nicotine Absorption when Vaping | Mt Baker Vapor
Ok, THAT makes more sense.....or better yet.....
In particular, a first-generation cigarette-like device with a cartomizer was compared with a new generation device set at 9 watts energy delivery with a clearomizer.An 18mg/ml nicotine-containing e-liquid was used in the study, the same for both devices. A group of experienced vapers was recruited. Participants used both devices for 1 hour, in a randomized cross-over design on two separate days, after abstaining from e-cigarette use for 8 hours. They were allowed to use as much e-liquid as they wanted, and were allowed to use new batteries and cartomizers if needed during the 1-hour period.
The results of the study showed that nicotine absorption from e-cigarettes was significantly lower compared to tobacco cigarettes. In reality, 5 minutes of use led to 1/3rd to 1/4th plasma nicotine levels compared to smoking 1 tobacco cigarette. The new-generation device was much more efficient in nicotine delivery, with nicotine levels being 35-72% higher than those observed by using the first-generation device. In fact, even after 1 hour of use, users could not obtain plasma nicotine levels similar to smoking 1 cigarette in 5 minutes. The results show that nicotine absorption from e-cigarettes is slow and probably resembles that of NRTs. We concluded that at least 50mg/ml would be needed in order for nicotine absorption to approximate that of smoking.

WHEW!!!!
All I see that is popping up is vaping harms lungs and all of that
Ok, just did, and a good point. Not a lot of info, but seems to cause infamation to a degree, and breaks down the barrier function of the lungs, but like everything else, another study found(and they don't know why....
Both of those articles are weird. I have seen studies and read about studies that show that nicotine isn't what is harmful in stinkies. It's the all of the other chemicals and the mixture. I don't believe that e cigs are that bad for you. Not harmless. They're harm reduction. 95% safer and I do not believe they can kill you like smokes. That actually kind of makes me mad that it says that nicotine is the cause of pulmonary diseases. That is untrue. I know people that have copd, and since quitting smoking and starting vaping they're lung capacity has gotten a lot better
