Is my math right?

[jsoldi]

I'm trying to figure out how many drops should I get daily. I just got me a 16mg liquid so...
1ml liquid = 16mg nicotine
1 drop = about .05 ml
1 drop = .08 mg nicotine
1 analog = about 1.5 mg nicotine
1 analog = about 2 drops

sounds good, but then I was never any good at math

Don't think there is a real solid conclusion on this measurement yet!!

1 liquid drop = .08 mg nicotine?

1 analog = 1.5 mg nicotine?
Maybe it's because I have been working for 20 hours and a little tired, but wouldn't that mean:

1.5mg (analog) / .08mg (drop) = 18.75 drops?

That's what my calculator says too - 18.75 -
On average an analog takes about 15 or so drags to finish - From my experience 2 drops of juice equals about 15 or so drags - course that's on a JantyStick which gives MONSTER drags -

There are a lot of posts on here doing the math - Here is an extensive breakdown from e-cig.com Electronic Cigarette Official Site - Density of Nicotine For 16mg it lists: 0.107 mg/puff * 15 = 1.6mg - Of course that will vary with the size of your personal puff - They also give 0.1ml = 1 analog - That's 2 drops -

I doubt those lil plasic bottles give the same as the eye-dropper so it gets goofy there too -
Other than idle curiosity - I fail to see the point - If I feel like I need a puff - I take one - If I get vape happy and start to feel queasy or light headed - I stop - My body is the only nicotine calculator I need

This info should prove helpful in your quest to break it down - and yea - your math seems all off

damn u guys are right...

 

[jsoldi]

Wait! I was right, I mean the conclusion was right check it out now:

1ml liquid = 16mg nicotine
1 drop = about .05 ml
1 ml = 20 drops
1 drop = .8 mg nicotine <- It wasn't .08 (16/20 = .8)
1 analog = about 1.5 mg nicotine
1 analog = about 2 drops

Yea - Math works better when you use the right numbers

By the way what 16mg juice were you thinking about getting?

 

[jsoldi]

Already got the Tobacco Special Blend from LITECIG.

Here's the problem: the math is one thing, but the absorption of the nicotine is another. You get a LOT more nicotine absorption with cigarettes due to the fact that the tobacco companies add chemicals (ammonia usually) to increase the PH of the smoke. That gets the nicotine into your blood stream quicker and more efficiently. Additionally, the NZ study strongly suggests that nicotine in vapor is not absorbed through the lungs at all, but enters the body through the mucous membranes in the mouth, throat and sinuses. Further, the amount of nicotine absorbed through those avenues is something on the order of 1 tenth of the amount you get with analogues through the lungs. So, even if you come up with a 1:1 relationship between the amount of nicotine in an analogue and the amount in a certain number of drops, you're still fighting against the basic body chemistry of nicotine absorption. The general consensus seems to be that it takes about 10 drags on a PV loaded with 18mg fluid to match one drag on a standard analogue. Opinions very though. Some people use 36mg fluid and say they don't feel any nicotine effects at all. Others use 11mg fluid and report the early stages of nicotine poisoning. Everyone's chemistry is different, so the numbers don't really tell the whole story. The best way to go is to experiment and find a combination that works the best for you personally.
