How Many Packs of Cigarettes Is One RELX Pod Equivalent To?

How many packs of cigarettes is one RELX pod equivalent to? Actually, I consider myself a long-time smoker. Due to my strong addiction, I've often been criticized by my family. I am more aware of the dangers of smoking than they are, and I have personally experienced discomfort in my throat. However, changing a habit that has been built over many years is not easy. I have tried to quit smoking several times without success, and out of desperation, I started using e-cigarettes. I am currently using RELX e-cigarettes to quit smoking, consuming about one 5% nicotine pod every three days. May I ask, what level is this usage at?
 
How many packs of cigarettes is one RELX pod equivalent to?

According to official data, one pod can provide about 600 puffs, which is equivalent to the amount in three packs of cigarettes. Of course, we shouldn't blindly believe this. Although the official result is derived from machine testing, we are human, and everyone is different. The machine calculates based on one puff per second, estimating that one pod can provide about 600 puffs. However, each person's smoking habits vary, so there are differences.

Previously, I used to smoke about one and a half packs a day. Now, with RELX, one pod lasts me about 1-2 days, and in rare cases, it can last up to three days (unless I conserve it). Based on the questioner's usage, one pod should last about 4-6 days.

One pod is approximately equivalent to the amount in three packs of traditional cigarettes.

The first generation has a 2ml capacity per pod, with three pods in a box = three packs of cigarettes.

The second generation has a 1.6ml capacity per pod, with two pods in a box = two and a half packs of cigarettes.

The third generation has a 1.4ml capacity per pod, with two pods in a box = two packs of cigarettes.

From a measurement perspective, a 2ml RELX pod typically provides around 600-700 puffs. Based on the standard of 12 puffs per cigarette, this is equivalent to less than three packs of cigarettes. Using one pod every three days is comparable to smoking about one pack a day, so the usage level is not excessive.

Three days of smoking three packs seems to be a normal level. But will the nicotine content exceed the limit?

No.

The nicotine content in a regular cigarette is about 1.5-3mg, with a pack containing approximately 30-60mg, and three packs nearing 90-180mg. A 5% pod contains 50mg/ml, and with a 2ml capacity, it contains 100mg of nicotine, which is close to the lower end of cigarette values. From this perspective, the nicotine intake from e-cigarettes is not high. However, it is important to note that not all the mentioned nicotine is absorbed; it is estimated that only about 20% of the nicotine in cigarettes enters the human body.
