1. Welcome to Thailand Vapers, an English language forum for members in Thailand and the rest of Asia to talk about vaping.
    Commonly referred to as e-cigarettes, vaping is really about the use of personal vaporizers (mods) and atomizers (tanks, clearos, RBAs, RDAs, RTAs) filled with e-liquid.
    Are you looking to get started or an old hand at vaping? Everyone is welcome here so sign up today and talk vaping with us!

    Informative article for noobs such as myself. Only term I have issues with is "e-cigarette" because a typical box mod with attached atomizer doesn't look anything like a cigarette at all and "APV" seems hardly descriptive when someone points to my device and says "What's that?"
    But anyway, is APV the correct term or not?

    I tend to call it a 'vaporizer' or a 'personal vaporizer'...

    I use the term e-vaping device, which I think comes pretty close.

    I've been trying to find the equation between quantity of cigarettes smoked to ml of juice...is the statement below close?

    1 box of 20 cigarettes equals 20mg nicotine (number x strength)
    1ml of 18mg e-liquid equals 18mg nicotine (amount x strength)

    Each drop of e-liquid will last for approximately 7 puffs, so 2 drops is roughly equal to 1 cigarette (14 puffs).
    There are approximately 20 drops per ml of e-liquid.

    The nicotine strength of cigarettes is the amount actually absorbed by the body.
    The nicotine strength of e-liquid is the total amount of nicotine per ml of liquid.
    The absorption rate of nicotine inhaled from e-liquid is still in debate (some say its as low as 10%) but 50% is generally used as a guide figure.

    So 40 drops (or 2ml) of 18mg e-liquid is about the same as 1 pack of twenty cigarettes. (5ml of 18mg = 50 cigarettes. 30ml of 18mg = 300 cigarettes)

    Looking at you previous post, if the absorption rate is 50% then 4ml would be the same as a pack of cigarettes. No idea if that is accurate though and drops is not an accurate way of measuring due to the vastly varying size of a drop.

    Just vape. :)
