E-liquid Nicotine VS Tobacco Cigarette Nicotine


E-liquid Nicotine VS Tobacco Cigarette Nicotine


 

How much nicotine is contained in the E-Liquid you are inhaling?

The nicotine density listed for e-liquid is the number of milligrams of nicotine per milliliter in the E-Liquid.
That means a 10ml bottle of 6mg nicotine e-liquid would have 60mg of nicotine in it (6mg x 10ml).  Likewise, a 30ml bottle of 6mg e-liquid would have 180mg of nicotine in it (6mg x 30ml).

When you refill your e-cartridges with e-liquid, you may need to know how much nicotine is contained in your refilling e-liquid.

There are approximately 20 drops of e-liquid per milliliter. So, using 6mg nicotine e-liquid once again as an example, there would be 0.3mg of nicotine per drop (6mg/20 drops). This is why, if you put three drops of e-liquid; that means you will be taking in 0.9mg of nicotine from the time you start vaping until you top it off again.E-liquid Nicotine VS Tobacco Cigarette Nicotine - Cigorette Inc Canada

The amount and the feeling of the nicotine absorbed by the body when vaping depends on many factors. This is including the density of the nicotine in e-liquid, the volume of vapor produced by the e-Cig. Also, your vaping duration as well as frequency, and the way you inhale the vapor.

 

It is worth mentioning that the nicotine in any given e-liquid will never be absorbed completely by you as a vaper.
For instance, if you inhale 1 ml of E-Liquid which contains 6 mg of nicotine; that does not mean you will absorb all the 6 mg of nicotine. You may only absorb about 40-65% of the nicotine according to your personal smoking habit.


Precautions

Although nicotine is highly addictive; no studies have shown nicotine to be a carcinogenic chemical compound. It is simply what tobacco cigarette smokers crave. However, the following cases should never consume nicotine:

  • Those who have sensitivity to nicotine

  • Those who have cardiovascular diseases or certain CNS diseases.
  • Those who are taking medications that have drug-drug interaction with nicotine

If you have doubts about certain health condition you have; it is highly recommended that you consult a healthcare professional. This is  before consuming any e-liquid with a nicotine component, regardless of how much low nicotine concentration it has.


When it comes to the comparison of an e-liquid nicotine vs tobacco cigarette nicotine, the question, “which e-liquid nicotine strength is equivalent to a particular kind of tobacco cigarette?” is popping up. In this regard, different brands of tobacco cigarettes vary in their nicotine content. Basically, nicotine constitutes approximately 0.6-3.0% of the dry weight of tobacco in a cigarette.

  • Regular full flavor cigarettes:  there is approximately 1.2mg of nicotine in each cigarette, or 24mg of nicotine per pack (1.2mg x 20 cigarettes).
  • Light cigarettes:  there is approximately 0.7mg of nicotine in each cigarette, or 14mg of nicotine per pack (0.7mg x 20 cigarettes).
  • Ultra Light cigarettes:  there is approximately 0.5mg of nicotine in each cigarette, or 10mg of nicotine per pack (0.5mg x 20 cigarettes).
