So, I was trying to figure out how many regular cigarettes are roughly equal to 2000 puffs on a vape. I mean, it’s a question a lot of folks who switch from smoking to vaping ask, right?
First, I grabbed a vape with about 2000 puffs. The one I had on hand was like those Hyde Mag things, it had 500mg of nicotine and was supposed to be about 20.8 packs of cigarettes, or so it says.

Then, I started reading up on how many puffs people usually take from a cigarette. Turns out, it’s around 15 puffs per cig. Doing some quick math, if a 2000 puff e-cig is like 166 cigarettes, and you get 15 puffs from each, that’s a whole lot of puffs.
I also looked into what’s actually in these vapes and cigarettes. Cigarettes are packed with 7,000 chemicals, and a bunch of them are super bad for you. Vapes, on the other hand, just heat up a liquid with nicotine and flavors. Still not great, but it seems a bit better, maybe.

Here’s What I Did:
- Used a 2000 puff vape.
- Figured out the average puffs per cigarette (about 15).
- Compared the nicotine content and chemicals.
But honestly, it’s tough to say exactly how many vape puffs are like one cigarette. It depends on how deep you puff, how much nicotine is in the vape, and a bunch of other stuff. So, I tried vaping and counting my puffs, but it got pretty tedious. It’s not like smoking a cigarette where you just smoke it till it’s done.
In the end, I realized it’s not really about matching puffs to cigarettes. It’s more about how you feel and how much nicotine you’re getting. But for anyone curious, a 2000 puff vape might last you as long as a whole bunch of cigarettes, depending on how you use it. It’s a whole different way of getting your nicotine, that’s for sure.
So, that’s my little experiment. Not super scientific, but it gave me a rough idea. Hope this helps someone out there trying to make sense of vaping versus smoking!
