though honestly out of curiosity i measured some of the last few analogs i had
on average 1 puff was 1.73seconds long(inhale only) and i got 19-24 per analog(pall mall non filters) so for me their math does not hold up.

I don't remember the numbers now but I do remember getting 18-20 per analog (100s). From what I can recall, the puffs on vaping was just less than half of what I see advertised. Unless, like you say they are taking less than 1/2 second puffs..... | |

I take a ding-dang drag when I vape/smoke. None of this silly "puff" business. | |

| Guys,I suspect the "puffometer" is attached to a 'smoking' machine with a counter. The machine is set for a specific draw time at a certain vacuum level and the counter is checked when vapor ceases. Probably spot checked throughout production run for consistancy. The parameters used are probably valid for "a" smoker but not for the rest of the PV users in the real world,to many variables. Steam uses 3ml of 5% nic juice to meet his daily needs, I use 6ml+ of my 1%+ juice to meet my need;which means I vape a lot more puffs than Steam does. I bet Steam would get by with fewer "puffs" and since my puffs are shorter(But closer together)I'd probably be a lot closer to the 500 puffs that grealls company proclaims.

| I think they are proclaiming un absorbed nicotine in eliquid against the absorbed amounts in analogs..but even then I still cant get anywhere close to those numbers
