Found this on Nicotine intake per drop

Here are the calculations I posted in another thread. As I said there, if anyone sees an error in how I'm calculating this, please post a correction and if I can still edit the post I will.
•There are 20 drops per ml of liquid.
•If you have 36 mg e-liquid, there are 1.8 mg nicotine per drop.
•If you have 18 mg e-liquid, there are 0.9 mg nicotine per drop.
•If you smoke Marlboro analogs, they are rated at about 1.1 to 1.2 mg nicotine per cigarette.
•Each drop of 18 mg e-liquid contains roughly the same nicotine as one cigarette. (Slightly less, perhaps.)
•If you're vaping 1ml of 18mg e-liquid per day, you're getting about the same amount of nicotine as from a pack of Marlboros.
I read in one thread that vaping is a less efficient way to get nicotine in your system than smoking an analog. I don't know if that's true. If it is, 1 ml of 18 mg e-liquid is probably somewhat less than a pack of analogs in terms of nicotine actually delivered. (I think this is based on some of the stuff published by that New Zealand "research" company... not sure I'm buying what they're selling, to be honest...).

Anyway, based on the tons of e-liquid I have left after my first week and a half, I'd say I'm somewhere between 1 and 2 ml per day. I'll have to see where I am after a month to get a better idea of actual consumption. I know that I'm still using the same carts without a top-off that I started using yesterday afternoon, if that means anything. I keep two e-cigs ready to give myself two different strengths to switch between.
