How Many Packs of Cigarettes Is One RELX Pod Equivalent To? How Many Puffs Does It Last?

How many packs of cigarettes is one RELX pod equivalent to? Actually, I consider myself a long-time smoker. Because of my strong addiction, I have often been told by my family about the dangers of smoking, which I am more aware of than they are. I have personally experienced discomfort in my throat, but 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 have been using RELX e-cigarettes to quit smoking. About one pod with 5% nicotine lasts me around 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 be used for about 600 puffs, which is equivalent to the amount in three packs of cigarettes. Of course, we cannot blindly believe this. Although the official result is based on 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 will be differences.

Previously, I used to smoke a pack and a half a day. Now, with the RELX pod, I can use it for about 1-2 days, and in rare cases, I might stretch it to three days (unless I conserve it). If we consider the usage mentioned, one pod should last about 4-6 days.

One pod is approximately equivalent to three packs of 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, the RELX pod with a 2ml capacity can provide 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 a pack a day, which is not excessive.

Is the nicotine content too high?

No.

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