E-cigarettes are self-regulating and you can get to puff just the right amount provided you don't make changes to the amount recommended by manufacturers. The average number of puffs per day is between 132-140 and if you are puffing more than that then it's time for you to slow down.
A heavy smoker (> 1 pack a day) should vape approximately 1 - 2ml of 20mg nicotine salt daily. A moderate smoker (10-19 cigarettes per day) should vape approximately 0.5-0.75ml daily. A light smoker (<10 cigarettes per day) should vape approximately 0.25 - 0.5ml daily.
The most popular sizes of vape cartridges right now are: 3 grams: many disposable vape pens are this size. It can last you for around 80 to 100 puffs. 5 grams: this can last for around 120 to 150 puffs.
A smoker typically puffs on a cigarette around 10-15 times before putting it out, so let's be conservative and estimate that puffing on a vape 15 times is approximately equal to smoking one cigarette. If that's the case, then a disposable vape that delivers 600 puffs is equal to about two packs of cigarettes.
At 200 puffs, this is 14.4-32.8 mg of nicotine per pod with equivalence to 13-30 cigarettes.
There is no real "normal," and the puffs per day don't matter. The acceptable daily intake for nicotine varies based on several modes of life and biological factors. Since the system to calculate nicotine intake per puff isn't an exact science, it's better to satisfy your needs.
There is no exact number of puffs that are considered safe. It is recommended to be aware of your smoking habits to monitor if you are taking too much. Vapes may be less dangerous than traditional cigarettes; it is essential to know your limit. You can enjoy and have a great vaping experience while not overusing it.
1: Vaping is less harmful than smoking, but it's still not safe.
For reference, 5% of nicotine vape juice contains 50 milligrams, which in a rough estimate is equivalent to an entire pack of cigarettes. Five cigarettes are equivalent to 20 milligrams of nicotine.
But one vape can contain the equivalent of 50 cigarettes of nicotine in the one product. They also contain a complex combination of chemicals including nicotine, nickel, tin, arsenic, chlorine and lead.
The answer isn't so straightforward. There is no real "normal," and the puffs per day don't matter. The acceptable daily intake for nicotine varies based on several modes of life and biological factors. Since the system to calculate nicotine intake per puff isn't an exact science, it's better to satisfy your needs.
The general rule is to wait 15 to 30 seconds before puffing again. For people who are trying to quit smoking, 30 seconds can be a long wait. In this case, you can buy e-juice with a higher nicotine level.
If You've Vaped Too Much...
The most common and least serious situation is being nauseous or having a headache after vaping too much. Usually, if you stop vaping you'll feel better soon. It is key, though, to stop as soon as you feel any symptoms - if you try and power through it you'll only feel worse.
Whether it's physically, intellectually, or emotionally, those who quit smoking and switch to vaping may find themselves in the same situation, albeit in a different form – vaping. Vapers who vape on a daily basis or more than three (3) times a week are considered heavy vapers.
Vape in safe quantities
Vaping is not risk-free, so don't overdo it by taking long drags or using high-wattage settings regularly. Overuse can result in dry hits, which can harm the lungs and throat. Everyone has different limits and tolerances, so listen to your body.
Although 5% nicotine is a lot, many vapers still use it. Because it's such a high concentration to vape, the only people who should consider it are heavy smokers trying to convert to vaping and believing they'll require a high-strength e-liquid to do so successfully. Otherwise, 5% is most likely too much.
Nicotine Content in E-Liquids. One reason you could be vaping more than you smoked is because you aren't using the best nicotine strength for your preferences. E-liquids come in a variety of different strengths and go up to 20 mg/ml in the UK.
A 20mg/ml vape, with 40mg of nicotine, is therefore the equivalent of smoking one or two packs of 20 cigarettes. But when a vape is illegal, it may contain a lot more e-liquid, and the strength per millilitre could be far higher than allowed.
Newer devices on the market in NSW have up to 4,000 puffs on the device and high nicotine concentrations which can equate to up to 20 packs of cigarettes nicotine equivalent.
Nicotine from e-cigarettes also reduces the saliva in your mouth. Lack of saliva can lead to dry mouth, plaque buildup, increased bacteria, and ultimately tooth decay. Nicotine inhaled during vaping acts as a muscle stimulant. This can cause you to grind your teeth (bruxism) or can make the problem worse.
Under state and territory laws, it is illegal to possess, supply or sell nicotine containing e-cigarettes, except: in specific circumstances. and when they are being supplied or accessed through a prescription.
Breathing in the harmful chemicals from vaping products can cause irreversible (cannot be cured) lung damage, lung disease and, in some cases, death. Some chemicals in vaping products can also cause cardiovascular disease and biological changes that are associated with cancer development.
There should be no gap between the lips and the mouthpiece; if there is the vapour won't be taken into the mouth correctly. Take a slow, steady draw from your vape pen for around 3-5 seconds, depending on preference.
For there to be less of a chance of a dry hit, you must let your wicks fully absorb the liquid. Before taking another puff, you should give yourself at least 15 to 30 seconds to rest. People who quit smoking may find that thirty seconds is an interminable waiting time.
