Do you think there's a standardization of vaping to cigarettes? For instance, what if, for example, 10 hits of 6mg were equal to one average cigarette in terms of nicotine crossing the blood brain barrier? How about 20 hits for 3mg liquid in an average sub ohm mod? Do you think you're delivering more nic to your brain than you were when you were a smoker?

I couldn't answer that with any degree of scientific certainty (but I bet someone will be able to). My gut feeling is no, based purely on my memory of the panicky feeling I used to get when I couldn't have a cigarette, or if I was running low with no way of getting to the shop to buy another 20 box.
That being said, I've probably got a month or so supply of various juices ready to go, loads of concentrates, Nic and PG/VG in the freezer. Can you imagine having that level of preparedness when you smoked?

i used to chain smoke, I now chain vape instead, not sure how much nic I get through, on purpose I make some juices up and don't write on the label the nic content, sort of a placebo effect. I can always tell when I'm vaping over 1.5mg though. I generally mix mtl at 1mg and 70/30 at 0.3mg, but mainly mtl these days, I knock up random 0 nic, just for the hell of it. I like to buy 3mg juices as a special treat, tbh I miss the nic not for the nic hit, but for the throat hit and flavour nic supplies, when mtl-ing

Can you imagine having that level of preparedness when you smoked?

Yes, it was called a day trip to Adinkerke, up to 2011 I think it was a 3kg allowance/ guideline, that's a lot of GV. Customs obviously used to check/ know how often you went and might ask you to roll a fag in front of them. They never asked me, or my wife, just as well they never asked her, because she couldn't roll a fag, I merely gave her a tinful and a lighter to carry around. Allowance wise, not sure now, some places say 250g of rolling baccy, other places say 1KG Tailormades seem to be 200, used to be a 1000. We went twice a year, a drag tbh, because I wouldn't drink alcohol in Belgium, because once I started.. plus I would end up needing a piss every 5 minutes.

Well yeah, to be fair I did go through a stage when I managed the bar in a truck stop where I could buy Lung Munchers (L&M's) by the box. Not the sleeve, the box.
I started selling them, then realised I was letting them go at a tenner a sleeve or whatever and then going out and buying Marlboro Lights at full price......
Fecking horrible they were, but by God I smoked them anyway

Doesn't sound like the kind of juice you'd want to toot too much of.
