Hello fellow "noobies" (don't particularily care for that term but whatever) I have been struggling with Ecig vs. Analog for 3 weeks. There is no "concrete" information about the level of nicotine while vaping whatever mg you vape. This worried me, as a result, I know that if I smoke so many "analogs" I am safe but if I throw "vaping" into the mix I might get ill and actually threw up a couple of times - so, this is the main reason why I am still using analogs, to "modify" my nicotine intake. I also had severe throat burning on anything I tried to vape other than a fruit version, but ya know, as a menthol smoker it's just not cutting it. I decided today to just use my 18 mg juice and vape as often as I wanted and to stay away from the analogs and not worry about ALL OF THE MEDICAL INFORMATION NOT PROVIDED IN THE VAPING COMMUNITY as far as nicotine overdose. I have done "o.k." so far by trying this today but I really think that my question needs attention--"why is there no "clear-cut" information about how much nicotine one ingests from switching from analog to vape? I understand that vaping tastes a lot better, well, that means we may be taking in more nicotine than usual, especially since it is accepted in a lot of public places. I think the "vaping" endorsers should come out with some type of guide line as far as nicotine levels, this is just bad business and I personally do not want to gamble with my health even more. If anyone has any information (not comments) about nicotine levels compared to analog, please reaspond to this. I'm sorry, I am trying very hard with the Ecig but this needs enlightenment.

Hey "Asleep", thank you very much - I am VERY new at this. Anyway, someone posted on my question about nicotine levels and what I "think" I figured out is that 1 mL of juice is equal to the nicotine level you ordered in your size bottle. I measured 1 mL by "dropping" into a baby-medicine dispenser (for lack of a better description, it was a suction device, almost looks like a shot - sorry, don't know what it's called) and about 20 drops equals 1 mL. The person that posted on my question earlier informed me that you get about 1 mg of nicotine in an analog, so if you smoke a pack a day you are getting about 20 mg of nicotine - sooo, if someone was a "pack-a-day" smoker and has an 18 mg solution, 20 drops of that through the day would equal the same amount of nicotine. I want to post this as "general forum for noobies" but hesitate due to the fact that none of this is very researched and I am formulating this off of info from this site-let me know what you think of this information. Also, the other thing I discovered is that I was "vaping" wrong. I don't smoke "weed" but know how it's done, I was trying to "vape" the same way. I started vaping in the same manner I smoke and there's no more throat burn - let me know what you think of this too! I really appreciate everyone's help on this site. You were the last person that posted on my question, so LUCKY YOU, you get all of this "so-called" information!

Thank you everyone. I think I have had a "bit" too much nic while trying to vape, have gotten sick a couple of times but you all have given me the best information available so far. Truly appreciated - Debbee

Thank you everyone!! Another question if you don't mind? I am worried about nicotine overdoes and don't understand how much nicotine I am getting if I am using 18mg and vaping all day, for instance. There doesn't seem to be any clear-cut information on nictotine levels via vaping as opposed to traditional analog smoking. Currently, I am still on the analogs because I am "afraid" to vape constantly instead. Much appreciated once again!!!

Hello fellow vapers! I am struggling to get off tobacco cigs because every time I vape any flavor e-liquid it burns my throat and I gag. Any ideas on what I may be doing wrong? Also, I used to (well still do at the moment) smoke Newport 100's, a strong menthol cig. I started with 18mg of nicotine in my liquid, is this a good level for me? I am finding myself not completely satisfyed and still craving the Newports. Thank you!

Thank you! I just ordered a Ego and juice - I got the ego with the pre-filled carts but the juice hasn't even shipped yet so I am kind of in a dilemma for a bit. I've got 2 prefilled carts left and they obviously don't last without refilling for very long.

How do you know when it is time to refill your cartridge to avoid vaping until dry?
