All My Questions

So it's been a while since people posted on here but I thought I'd put my 2 cents in. I don't know how big Magma carts are but I use the Volcano and it takes me about a week and a half to go through 3ml bottles. I seem to use less when dripping I guess because I go through 1 to 1-1/2 carts per day when I have the prefilled carts 2 per day max. Just did the math and that pretty much equals out lol. Hope that can help out a little bit. I used to smoke about a half a pack a day so I assume a cart is somewhere around 5-10 cigarettes for me. With the BFM carts seem to last a little bit longer, more consistently 1 cart per day here.

Magma carts are about twice the size of volcano carts...

A Volcano cart is 0.3ml and a Magma cart is 0.5ml

Ok correct me if im wrong here but the equivelent of juice to analogs is dependant on the mg of nicotine. ie. a pack of full flavor analogs is roughly 24mg. which is 1.2mg per analog. (1.2mgX20mg=24mg)

if you have a bottle of 24mg juice it is actually 24mg per 1ml. so if you have a 15ml bottle of 24mg nic you have the equivalent to 15 packs of full flavor analogs.

So what I'm getting at is if your vaping 1ml of 24mg juice per day then your equivalent of nicotine to 1 pack of analogs per day. But your not getting all the other chemicals that are put into analogs to keep you addicted to analogs.

I dont know if theres a difference in how your body absorbs the nicotine through vapor but to me nicotine is nicotine so this is how I look at it.

I vape more than I smoked i think because my body is making up for the other chemicals that I was used to, so I dont mind the extra nicotine..... its not the worst part of analogs anyways, its the other stuff in analogs that is terrible for you. dont get me wrong, nicotine is bad in high quantities but it is also found in tomatoes and other natural stuff you consume unlike fromaldahyde (spelling), or the newest chemical they started to put into analogs that make them go out so they dont start fires...... what is that anyways? or the gunpowder like substance that are the lines going around the analog to make it burn evenly. ever had one sizzle up on you?

I hear theres 4000 other chemicals in an analog other than nicotine, so in my mind whats worse - a little more nicotine? or less nicotine plus 4000 other chemicals?

I'll take a little more nicotine every time.

equivalents are always a hard thing to say, everyone is different and some people are asking nicotine wise other are just asking how many hits/puffs/drags to equal a cig. It is a vague question and it is also hard to answer due to everyone hits them differently.
-
The absorption rate of vaping compared to smoking is also different. There have not been enough studies done yet for solid facts but so far it shows that the rate is lower in vaping. Mostly due to better oral health, and cleaner lungs, and less chemicals helping the nic get in the system faster. Oh and if you were a menthol smoker of a few certain brands no more fiberglass to create small cuts to allow the nic to get tot he blood stream faster.

I agree AB, hard question... I have wondered all of this myself and came to the conclusion that I just prefer to vape my nicotine, dont care if I get more or less because its working to keep me off analogs. With less chemicals!

My sittings are usually 20 minutes at least, so definetly longer than 1 analog seeing as how I could power through one of those in less than 5 minutes.

I can always feel it in my body when I've had enough to satisfy my cravings like an analog and it seems to be longer so im assuming it is absorbed alot differently. I smoked about a pack of full flavor analogs a day and I vape about 1.5 to 2ml a day nowadays..... right now I'm on 16mg liquid.

Ouch! I hate it when the fiberglass makes small cuts, especially on the inside.... that cant be good!
I wonder what else "big tobacco" has been doing to us in the name of money?
