Default ejuice bottles--how many to get?

Hey guys, just wondering how many bottles of ejuice one uses in a week... I know it must vary depending on how often you use prefilled cartridges versus filling them yourself. Also, I'm sure whether or not you drip or top-off cartridges adds variances too.

I'm trying to get an estimate of how many to buy for a week.... I am currently smoking 3-4 regular cigs a day, but I have a feeling I'll be vaping more than that, lol. I haven't actually got my order yet, but waiting to hear back from KatyS.

I don't know if anyone could give me an estimate on bottles used per week, I'm just trying to plan ahead for how often I'll have to buy these things

Most people seem to use around 2-2.5ml a day depending on use which equates to around about 10-15ml per week...

I found I vap way more than I smoked, that is why I made sure to buy low nic. I have slowed it down and now use the devices for shorter periods of time, more like smoking burning cigs, then I like the Med nic. As far as how much do I use in juice a week? I have quite a few flavors, I have when on one of my vap binges used just under a quarter of a bottle of janty ry4 low...but that was a freak event for me. I think I just vegged in front of the TV vaping away. That is not my normal use. Hope someone can give you better insight. I top off carts. But I find that I really like fresh carts and don't refresh them for more than a day.

I use about 1ml a day with my mini. I doubt smoking 4 or 5 cigs a day you'll use much more than that, possibly less. Or you can go low strength and sip on it like a drink all day long like some others on this forum. You'll end up using a lot more liquid like that, but it all boils down to your preference.

I, personally, use 36mg liquid and puff for about 2-3 mins at a time (maybe 7-12 puffs) and then put it away for another hour or two.

I use about 1.5ml 16mg nic a day with my Ruyan Bling Cigar and it is replacing my 15 roll ups a day habit.

But I too like Kimmie find I vape more than I smoked.

My vaping was greater than my smoking had been to start with, but this was largely due to learning the ways of my Intellicig. Now that I am totally at ease with it I find that I am vaping much less - though still enjoying it. Best of all - no tobacco for a fortnight!
I'd get just 1 bottle to start with and see how you get on. It's easy to see how much you're using if you decant some into a glass eyedropper bottle (should cost no more than 70p). I mix mine 50/50 with glycerine and find that this is perfect for me.

Can someone clarify this for me please

The way I'm reading this, is it's cheaper to buy ready made carts than to buy e-juice. I'm using a mini and 50 carts costs around £20 which would last me a month easily where e-juice costs around £15 per 20ml which would last around 10 days. Am I reading this correctly?

There is approximately 0.3 - 0.5 ml in a mini cartridge. If you use 50 carts and if they contain 0.5 ml then you will have used 25ml of juice. So that's approximately 25ml for £20 or 80p per ml. If a 20ml bottle costs £15, that equals 75p per ml.

Thanks Kate

I was starting to get worried as I intend to get some Totally Wicked Juice on my next order in a day or two from Pillbox, and another Mini Starter pack and possibly another atomiser. How are you getting on with the mini steamer BTW as I would like to clean my current atomiser before it gets too much like drawing on a mcDonalds Milk Shake - as some one else put it.


Dam that was hard work, either my typings getting worse or my keyboard is dyslexic.
