When switching from smoking to vaping, it’s important to know if you’re getting the right amount of nicotine. Too little can leave you feeling irritable, while too much could lead to excessive vaping.

How Much Nicotine Is in a Vape?

To calculate nicotine in a vape, multiply the nicotine strength (mg/ml) by the volume of e-liquid. For example, a vape with 20 mg/ml nicotine and 2 ml of e-liquid has 40 mg of nicotine.

How Many Cigarettes Equal a Vape?

An average cigarette contains 1.5 mg of nicotine. So, if a vape contains 1,250 mg of nicotine, it’s roughly equivalent to 833 cigarettes. However, this isn’t a perfect comparison due to differences in how nicotine is absorbed.

How Many Puffs Equal a Cigarette?

On average, a smoker takes 10-15 puffs from a cigarette. A vape with 20,000 puffs would be roughly equivalent to 1,333 cigarettes. However, real-world usage can vary.

Managing Your Nicotine Intake

To mimic smoking, vape about 20 times a day, taking 10-15 puffs each time. This helps control your nicotine intake and prevents overuse.

Vaping allows you to adjust your nicotine level, so if you’re concerned, you can reduce it gradually. Your body will naturally tell you if you’re getting too much or too little.
