How Many Puffs Of A 5% Vape Equal A Cigarette?

2020-12-10

Let's face it-switching from cigarettes to vaping is like trading a flip phone for a smartphone. But one question haunts every new vaper: "How many puffs of my 5% vape equal one cigarette?" Fear not, fellow cloud chaser. Science (and a little humor) is here to help.


The Nicotine Showdown: Cigarette Vs. Vape

A typical cigarette contains about 10–12 mg of nicotine, but here's the kicker: your body absorbs only 1–2 mg of it (thanks, National Cancer Institute!). Meanwhile, a 5% nicotine vape juice (like those in OVNS disposables) means 50 mg of nicotine per milliliter-but absorption is lower because vaping isn't as efficient as smoking (CDC says so).

 

The Math (Don't Panic):

1 cigarette ≈ 1–2 mg absorbed nicotine

1 puff of a 5% vape ≈ 0.5–1 mg absorbed (depending on how hard you suck, literally)

So, 5–10 puffs of your 5% vape ≈ one cigarette. But let's be real-who counts? If you're puffing like a stressed-out steam engine, maybe cut back.

 

Why This Matters (Besides Avoiding A Nicotine Overdose Nap)

Vaping Lets You Control Your Intake
With cigarettes, you're stuck with whatever tar-and-chemical cocktail Big Tobacco serves. But with OVNS vapes, you can adjust nicotine levels (and even ice levels for that brain-freeze thrill).

No Awkward "Smoke Breaks"
Vaping doesn't leave you smelling like a burnt couch. Plus, you can stealth-vape in more places (disclaimer: not endorsing indoor vaping-unless you're into dramatic confrontations).

You're Not Burning Money (Literally)
A pack of cigs costs roughly your firstborn child. A disposable vape? Way cheaper (and less likely to judge you for buying it at 3 AM).

 

Meet OVNS: The Vape That Doesn't Judge Your Life Choices

At OVNS, we're not just another vape company-we're the Willy Wonkas of nicotine (minus the creepy boat ride). Our disposable vapes pack 50000 puffs, adjustable nicotine/ice levels, and flavors that don't taste like "regret and poor decisions."

Why OVNS Rocks:

Science-Backed Satisfaction (we test our stuff so you don't have to).

For Smokers Who Want Out (or cloud enthusiasts who just like shiny things).

 

Final Puff (See What I Did There?)

So, 5–10 puffs ≈ 1 cigarette, but vaping's real win is control. Want less nicotine? Adjust it. Want a minty blast so cold it wakes up your soul? OVNS has your back.
