Understanding: 1 ml of e liquid is NOT to be compared with a cigarette
In short:
It depends on the nicotine concentration, nicotine absorption and above all the personal circumstances! Examples using a 10ml liquid vial containing 18mg nicotine per ml:Nicotine concentration - A 10ml "18" e liquid bottle corresponds to about 16 tobacco cigarettes. Nicotine Resorption - A 10 ml "18" bottle corresponds to about 30 tobacco cigarettes. Personal conditions - A 10ml "18er" bottle corresponds to two boxes of tobacco cigarettes.

E Liquids Ireland Examples using a 10ml e liquid vial containing 9mg nicotine per ml: Nicotine concentration - A 10ml "9" liquid bottle corresponds to approx. 8 tobacco cigarettes. Nicotine Resorption - A 10 ml "9" bottle corresponds to approximately 15 tobacco cigarettes. Personal characteristics - A 10 ml "9er" bottle corresponds to two boxes of tobacco cigarettes. Examples using a 10ml liquid vial containing 6mg nicotine per ml: Nicotine concentration - A 10ml "6er" liquid bottle corresponds to about 6 tobacco cigarettes. Nicotine Resorption - A 10 ml "6" bottle corresponds to approximately 10 tobacco cigarettes. Personal conditions - A 10 ml "6er" bottle corresponds to just two boxes of tobacco cigarettes. Whoever now asks if the "two boxes of tobacco cigarettes" is a typo in all the examples: No, it is not! Nicotine concentration and nicotine resorption are, indeed, admirably suited for the calculation of scientific papers ... However, these are essentially a thing of the past: the behavior of the consumer in reality. Concentration ... is an indication of the content of a mixture.
The concentration thus indicates how much of a substance is present in a volume (e.g., sugar pieces in the coffee). In the case of E-Liquid or tobacco cigarettes, the concentration is given as follows: E-Liquid: 18 mg / ml → 18 mg nicotine per 1 ml of e liquid. Cigarette: 14 mg / g → 14 mg nicotine per 1 g of tobacco. Cigarette smoke: 1mg / 280ml → 1mg nicotine in the smoke of a tobacco cigarette. In fact, many people do not know that the nicotine concentration indicated on cigarette packets refers to the "smoke of a cigarette" measured with an ever-uniform "smoking machine" according to DIN ISO 3308: 2000-12.1 However, the tobacco of a tobacco cigarette contains between 12 and 14 mg nicotine .2 A box of 20 cigarettes contains approx. "20 x 14mg" = 280mg nicotine. In a 10ml liquid bottle "18er" are in "10 x 18mg" = 180mg nicotine. Thus, this liquid bottle contains less nicotine than a cigarette pack. If one is now alone from the concentration, a 10ml "18er" liquid bottle corresponds to about 16 tobacco cigarettes. Resorption ... is the uptake in biological systems, e.g. The "feeding a cream into the skin". As already explained in the case of nicotine concentration, a tobacco cigarette contains up to 14 mg of nicotine. Of this, about 10 mg burns in the smoking process, so that in the end smoking a tobacco cigarette between 2 and 4mg34 nicotine are absorbed (absorbed) by the smoker - humans have, unlike a "smoking machine", vary the habit, inhalation depth and duration of the train and Are thus converted into other resorption rates than "smoke robots".
The nicotine from a tobacco cigarette is, because it is inhaled with various additional substances, available more quickly in the bloodstream than the nicotine from an e-cigarette or a nicotine patch. In an e-cigarette, the resorption is such that only a part of the nicotine of a tobacco cigarette in the blood is detectable in an e-cigarette consumer (steamer) that evaporates an "18" liquid: in the case of an "18" liquid, Minutes, just under a third of the nicotine of a tobacco cigarette is absorbed by the body.5 If one is now alone from the nicotine absorption, a 10 ml bottle of "18" corresponds to about 30 cigarette lengths.
Personal circumstances 1 ml is in most cases about 1/3 to 1/4 of the daily consumption of a steamer.6 Or: A large proportion of the steamers consume between 3 and 4 ml E-Liquid on the day. If a cigarette-smoking tobacco cigarette is consumed by 20 cigarettes and a 4 ml e-liquid steamer is used, then a 10 ml bottle with almost two boxes of cigarettes can be compared (in accordance with this VERY rough estimate). It does not matter if you use a "9er", "12er", "16er" or "18er" Liquid: If you have used "before" a box of cigarettes and now 4 ml E-Liquid, then is a 10 ml bottle Roughly equivalent to two boxes of cigarettes. Fairy tale and truth It is still the fairy tale that a 10 ml bottle of E-Liquid with a rod of cigarettes or (on the other side of the scale) 1 ml E-liquid with a tobacco cigarette is to be compared. For the first reason, some traders want to "make cash", and for the latter reason, e.g. Which the European Commission in December 2017 will limit the nicotine content of the E-Liquids to 1 to 2 mg per ml and thus align it with the tobacco cigarettes or orient themselves to the nicotine content of nicotine suction gum.
This is NOT so! As already written: 1 ml E-Liquid is in most cases approximately 1/3 to 1/4 of the daily consumption of a steamer. 2 mg nicotine per 0.1 ml of E-Liquid (or "20 mg per 1 ml" or "2.0%") ... With such an e-liquid, a steamer would be able to consume roughly the amount of nicotine Smokers from a tobacco cigarette. However, this refers to the computational concentration and not to the intake and therefore not to the amount of nicotine ultimately ending in the blood. According to Konstantinos Farsalinos, with a 20 mg / ml liquid only 1/3 of the nicotine quantity of a tobacco cigarette in the blood of a steamer If the EU Commission had succeeded and the EU Parliament had passed a reduction of the E-Liquid to 1 to 2 mg nicotine per ml of E-Liquid ... If this had had serious effects: Different levels of nicotine compensate steamer by a (probably largely unconscious) selection of the hardware liquid combination and thus reach a similar nicotine level as before in the smoking. Similar to a tobacco smoke, which sometimes inhales a few times to reach a certain nicotine level. So steamer had to make the same by the nicotine limitation to 1 to 2 mg the same, as at the time the smokers in limiting the nicotine concentration in the smoke of a tobacco cigarette to max. 1 mg nicotine10: you consume more! If one starts with a smoker from a normal nicotine dose of about 60mg (20 cigarettes x 3mg nicotine), then a smoker in a "2er" liquid would evaporate 30ml a day and inhale (it is almost impossible to realize!). A tobacco cigarette smoker would probably never have made the change with such a low concentration and would have returned to the tobacco cigarette within a short time.
Conclusion As already mentioned: Different nicotine strengths compensate steamer by a (probably largely unconscious) selection of the hardware liquid combination and thus arrive at a similar nicotine level as before in the smoking. Similar to a tobacco smoke, which sometimes inhales a few times to reach a certain nicotine level. If a steamer after a few weeks or months notices that the previously consumed E-Liquid is "too strong", then one should either use the E-cigarette less or reduce the nicotine strength. This is most likely due to the fact that the receptors in the brain, which were previously replaced by the tobacco smoke mixture with e.g. MAO-I, acetaldehyde, nicotine and other substances have been "increasingly demanding", now only "saturated" by the "pure" nicotine, and these receptors are again approximately restored to the normal state.
Something that I could also observe with me: three years ago I smoked three boxes of cigarettes a day and thus received about 80 to 120 mg of nicotine daily - today the equivalent of 1 to 2 cigarettes or synonymous no nicotine! Rursus PS If a steamer is to reduce its liquid consumption, From a "6er" to a "12er" liquid change. Then the body gets the required dosage, with fewer moves / less liquid. Attention: In particular at the beginning of the changeover, some want to reduce the nicotine concentration as quickly as possible. While these consumed about 3 ml of 18-liter E-Liquid at the beginning of the day, they have already arrived at a "6er" liquid a few weeks later - consume just 9 ml per day of this 6-series E-Liquid! This means they consume the three-fold amount of E-Liquid, but they take the same amount of nicotine as before - Whether "3 times 18mg = 54" or "9 times 6mg = 54" does not matter to the brain. Disadvantage: More propylene glycol, glycerin and aromas are absorbed. As already mentioned several times: "The brain gets what it needs ..."
