Ok, good deal. Now as far as nicotine levels are concerned, how are those measured? I mean, I understand the measurements themselves, but how do those compare to cigarettes... like how many hits do I need to take of what strength to reach the strength of say... a Camel Light?

A typical cigarette has 1.3 mg of nicotine in it.

Translated over to the way we label e-juice, this would be 13mg/ml. Since your body doesn't absorb nicotine as easily through an e-cig as it does a traditional cigarette, the 16mg e-juice is just about the same as a 1.3mg cigarette. When I was trying to quit, I tried the lower nic e-juices first, but it didn't "stick" until I started using 16mg. I slowly lowered myself down and am now using 6mg and have no desire for a cigarette at all that low.

I don't have any plans to drop to 0mg, but if you would have asked me a year ago, I never would have thought I'd be at 6mg now, so I guess we'll just see.

10 ml bottles. A bottle will last about 4-5 days with an ego.

Not for a non-smoker like myself! lol

I've been on one flavor since I got it a week ago. Used about 1/3 of a bottle and probably got another couple of days with my current fill.

This has not been without issue though... I think I may have a slight allergy with the PG. Scratchy throat and mild congestion after use that lasts a little while. It's not bad at all, slightly annoying at best. ONSSP has not had this issue (and she's allergic to EVERYTHING!)

Going to try some VG in the future to see how that goes...
