Question about amount of nicotine in bottle

[mandie778]

Hello I hope I've posted this in the correct place.I have been vaping for a couple of years now and completely stopped smoking analogs about 6 months ago.My doctor wants to put me on an estrogen base birth control pill because I've developed adult acne since I've had my daughter.

One of her concerns is that I'm 38 and the combination of estrogen and nicotine.I go see her next week and I think I'm ready to try the new medication.

I've been running some numbers over the past couple of days.I vape 18 mg in a tank that holds 1.8 milliters.I go through this every 24 hours.

Is it 18 mg per 1.8 milliter or is there only 18 mg of nicotine in the entire 30 milliter bottle? 

I'm sorry if this is a dumb question but I've just never really thought about it before.Thanks for the help.

Hey mandie.

It'll be 18mg/ml in 30ml.  There are ways to cut your nic level without craving if that would help any?

Yes I've thought about going down to 12.I'm not supposed to smoke or vape the equivalent of over 10 analogs a day to take this medication.I'm glad that it is only 18 mg total in the 30 ml bottle.I was smoking 10 to 15 Marlboro Ultra Lights a day before I started vaping.18 mg has been the sweet spot for me but I may have to try 12 again.Thanks for the reply.

You can take smaller steps down by mixing 18 mg and 12 mg juice.  Do that for a few weeks and then go with 12mg.  It's take me two months, but I've managed to go from 18 to 12.  I tried to go directly to 3 mg, and found myself buying a pack.

I could definitely see why you'd want to buy a pack at 3 mg.lol! I called my vapor store and asked them.They said I'm vaping 15 analogs a day based on my numbers and the absorption rate in their vapor.The only things I know to do is maybe cut down to 12 and ask my dr.

Fully assuming you use a normal pen type vape;

If you drop to sub ohm vaping you can quite easily use 6mg. Somthing with a .5 coil like a Joyetech ego1 would make cutting the nic level quite easy.

Mike, either you're crazy or I am, but I'm 100% sure 18mg juice is 18mg per ONE ml, not 30ml. The nicotine content is measure in mg/ml,  not mg/bottle.

I was hoping that would go unnoticed  It was it was late.. brain fart.  Edited

I'm not gonna lie, I sat here wondering if my whole life was a lie for a good five minutes since I know that you know as much as me if not more, and so I trust your opinion, but geez man I couldn't let that one slide lol
I forgive you for causing my existential crisis.

Yeah, 18 mg per ml - so roughly 32mg per tank with a 1.8 ml tank.

No studies have been conducted on the interaction between nicotine and estrogen where tobacco was not the delivery device, but other NRT products still recommend against it.  You'll probbaly be fine, but a risk is a risk.

Honestly, you'll barely notice the reduction in nicotine once you've been vaping without smoking for a few months.  You'll have mild cravings for a couple days and then you'll just adjust to the lower level.  It's not AT ALL like trying to reduce smoking.  MUCH easier.
