This may sound like a dumb question but... I somtimes chew Nicorette which has 4 mg of nicotine, and I vape 3 mg juice, my question is obviously the bottle has more than 3 mg. what's the total amount of nicotine in a 15 ml 3 mg bottle?

45mg. The strength is the amount of mg per ml.

Rest assured though that not all of it is absorbed in your bloodstream. If I recall correctly, a regular cigarette contains about 10mg of nicotine, but your body will asborb 1mg. I will try to find information about nicotine absorbtion from juice.

The NIC rating is the number of mg per milliliter, so a 15ml bottle should have 45mg of nic in it. That said, Jack is completely right that the absorption rate is different. How many of the 4mg lozenges did you use a day?

I tend to go with the idea that about half is absorbed. Of course, it all depends on how one vapes.

Where did you pull that number from?

I don't have any links at the moment, but I recall reading something that nic absorption from smoke is about 10% efficient, meaning you'd get 0.8-1.5 mg of nic from a cigarette, depending on whether we're talking Virginia Slim ultra-lights or Camel Wides.

Nic absorption from vaping is far less efficient - I believe we take in closer to 4-5% of what's actually vaped. Will see if I can do some googling in the next day or so to back these wild guesses up, unless someone beats me to the punch.

Very interesting! I would have thought the absorption rate would be higher with vaping
