so I know that I have asked this before but I want to be more descriptive. I am vaping on 3mg of nic. I have a 30 ml bottle of juice. there is 3mg of nicotine in the whole bottle correct? I am trying to ween off of nicotine and I don't want to be getting more than what I smoked. I usually smoked a half pack or full pack of American spirit menthol a day. I want to be getting less nicotine that I was smoking.I have a aspire cleito and I usually smoke one to two fill tanks a day of 3mg nic .i am just curious that is all. From what I got, there is 1 mg of nic per cig about. So I'm just a little confused. I chain vape also sometimes at work or when I'm driving.

No. There is 3mg of nicotine per mL. The bottle has 90mg of nicotine total.

Even though there is 3mg/ml, your body doesnt absorb all of it.
I just checked, the Americans spirits that I would smoke have 2.17 mg of nic... In one smoke. So 2.17 times 20 ( if I were to smoke a pack that day ) would be 43.4 mg of nic a day, where half a pack is 21.7 . That's what I would be getting if I smoked 2 tanks on a cleito of 3mg a day.

So technically, one tank is 10.5 mg of nic? So Two tanks would be 21 mg of nic. Which is basically equivalent to a pack of lies analogs.

Assuming a 3.5ml tank, yes. Even though that much nicotine may be vaped, you still arent absorbing all of it. Realistically,you are probably only absorbing around half.

So realistically, I'm most likely not even getting a half of pack of cigs out of two tanks a day. Maybe I will vape three. Lol . Thank you

Have no idea about American Spirits, but it is accepted that cigarette on average deliver 1 mg of nic.

If you are trying to kick nicotine, i wouldn't just start vaping more. If you just want to vape more, consider dropping to 1.5mg juice(or mix a 3mg and 0mg bottle together). Then you can vape more and get the same amount of nicotine.

I do not know the exact math, but each device, coil, wattage, etc is different even adding in the wattage a user runs normally. With analogs you have to account for almost 50% of that nicotine is burnt away in combustion, so a full pack you could "Potentially" be getting 21.7mg per day, 1/2 pack is half of that at about 10 to 11mg per day, that's not accounting for the amount your body actually absorbs into your blood stream. You are also not taking into account, analog nicotine is engineered in most brands, "Crack Nicotine" basically, natural nicotine molecule is 15nanometers in size, "Crack Nicotine" is cut down to 7nanometers for more efficient absorption.

Electronic devices fall prey to these same constraints, but are a bit more efficient of nicotine density, 3mg/ml in a 30ml bottle is 90mg of natural nicotine which is absorbed half as efficiently as that of most analogs, mainly in the sinuses, mouth, and throat, not so much as in the lungs like analogs. Vapor is a bit more dense than analog smoke, or can be, sub-ohm median to high wattage for instance is really dense, not all of that dense vapor touches any tissue by the time it is exhaled, that and the size of the molecules that need to pass tissue into the blood stream is not as efficient, only the outer regions of the vapor actually touches tissues in its travels. So, "Potentially" even at 3mg/ml, you could after vaporization heating, travel across tissues, all of it, that 3mg exposure could after all is said and done be only 1.5, maybe even 1mg/ml, maybe even 0.5mg/ml, again variables like devices, coils, wattage, and the users are all different.

That helps a lot actually. I quit smoking cause I didn't want to have problems from it. Like heart attack runs in my family. That's why I quit analogs and am so sketched about how much nic I'm getting haha

I would not be concerned (at this point in your journey) with the amount of nic/day you are vaping. Vape as much as you need to keep you away from cigarettes.

If you find you're vaping too much juice/day (and your juice budget is suffering), up your mgs of nic and vape less often or install a higher resistance coil head and vape at lower wattage.

I just feel like I'm getting more nic than when I smoked. Most I will ever vape a day is 3 full fanks. But I feel like that'll never happen. I barely smoke 2. One in a half closer to 2.

3mg is a pretty conservative amount of nic to start out vaping with. While not impossible, "most" not all, people started with much higher and weined themselves down to lower mg.

I smoked 1.5 ppd for 25 years and I had horrific withdrawal symptoms whenever I had attempted to quit in the past. So I started as high as juice makers would allow me to.. 36mg.

I haven't had a single analog since I started vaping and I'm currently using 12mg juice after nearly 6 years.

Everybody is different. But if you're worried about relapse.. I suggest bumping your nic up a bit to start. You can always taper off when you feel comfortable doing so.

How many ml do you go through a day?
