A single tobacco cigarette
stick contains 8 to 20 milligrams (mg) of Nicotine (depending
on the brand), but mere around 1.2 mg is actually absorbed by the body when you
actually smoke it.
A
standard pack of cigarette therefore contains around 24 mgs of Nicotine (20
sticks) while actually smoking it. (1.2 mg * 20 sticks = 24mg / pack )
The nicotine density mentioned for E-liquid indicates the
number of milligrams of Nicotine per milliliter in the E-Liquid i.e.
mg/ml.
For
instance:
When
12mg Nicotine indication is shown on an E-liquid bottle, it means it has 12 mgs
of Nicotine for per 1 ml of E-liquid. Hence a 10 ml bottle will have 120 mgs of
Nicotine. That is 10 * 12 = 120
That means a 10ml bottle of 24mg nicotine
e-liquid would have 240mg of nicotine in it. i.e. 24mg * 10ml = 240 mgs.
Similarly, a 30ml bottle of 24mg e-liquid
would have 720mg of nicotine in it. i.e. 24mg * 30ml = 720 mgs

The same way, a 10 ml bottle of 18 mg
e-liquid would have 180 mgs of nicotine in it.
i.e. 18
mg * 10 ml = 180 mgs

The
same way we can calculate mgs per ml for any strength of Nicotine.
Drops of E-liquids
per ml of Nicotine
There
are approximately 20 drops of E liquid
per 1ml. So using a 12 mg Nicotine
E-liquid there would be 0.6 mgs of
Nicotine per drop. That is 12 / 20 = 0.6mgs/drop
Likewise
24mg Nicotine E-Liquid would have 1.2mgs of Nicotine per drop i.e. 24 mg / 20 drops = 1.2 mgs/dr

Now
talking in terms of Nicotine in ml, if you, for instance take 12mg Nicotine
strength and pour 1.6 ml of E liquid
into your electronic cigarette clearomizer, it means you will take in 19.2 mgs
of Nicotine in total from the time you start vaping until you fill it in again.
That
is 1.6 * 12 = 19.2 mgs.
1.6ml
/ 20 drops= 0.08mg per drop
It
is equivalent to almost a pack of regular tobacco cigarettes a day. But of
course it won’t have the same quantity of tar and other harmful chemicals that a
tobacco cigarette contains.
A regular
tobacco
cigarette stick contains about 4000 chemicals and 51 of them are known to be carcinogenic
which causes cancer.
On average
10ml of E liquid lasts about at least 3-5 days. So assuming you're a grave
smoker and would finish up a 10 ml bottle of an E-liquid in 3 days, vaping 3.3
ml of E-liquid per day would bear a
*Nicotine strength* of about 2 packs of cigarettes a day.
It ought
to be noted that, even though Nicotine is addictive, no studies have shown
nicotine to be a carcinogen.
It
is simply the fix that cigarette smokers crave. It is recommended that those
who have an established sensitivity to nicotine, pregnant or breastfeeding
women or who have unstable heart conditions, should talk about the use of any
E-Liquid with a doctor before using it and even your doctor permits you to use it, look around and try only getting premium quality E liquids. You can also buy online premium e liquid now anytime you want as vendors are much aware of your preferences regarding time saving.
