A question about juice consumption

[mattrix]

EDIT I forgot to say in the title "of VW vapers", makes no sense for TC vapers.

This is probably a stupid question, but I'm curious.
To those of you who have mods that show puffs and vape time (I don't) can you tell me,

MTL/DL,Wattage,time vaped,number puffs,ml used,comment if you want
eg. using this format I might have:

MTL,8W,1000s,180puffs,0.9ml,protank with 1.9ohm coil

You will need to measure your liquid.

I know, personal preference and all that; but as I said just curious.

 

[frosc]

MTL on Nautilus mini, 1.8ohm coils, 8-10W, 2-4ml a day.
DL, RTAs/RDAs, mostly .3-.4 builds, 50-60W, 10-12ml a day.

MTL on Nautilus mini, 1.8ohm coils, 8-10W, 2-4ml a day.
DL, RTAs/RDAs, mostly .3-.4 builds, 50-60W, 10-12ml a day.

Similar on the NaughtyX with 1.8 Ohm coils at 12 Watts. Two mls is roughly equivalent to a pack of smokes. At higher Wattages (50+) I can't keep track because I blow through it too quickly.

 

[stols001]

MTL: probably a bit over 5 mls per day, if I'm vaping a lot and using a 0.7 tank, about 4 if using a 1.8 coil. As far as sub-ohm tanks and DL, I don't think I've ever vaped a full day on those but when I dig out my Cleto tank I go through liquid like a sieve.

I'm not certain I'd enjoy a puff counter.... That's just me.

I was always annoyed by the puff counters. It's info that I'm uninterested in and occasionally mods will prominently display the puff count on a tiny screen. I just want to glance down at the thing and make sure everything is going OK.

I vape about two Kayfun V2 tanks a day. That's about 9ml. I suppose I go over that some days, so count it as 12ml. Vaping at 10W in Power or TC mode saves a lot of juice and still gives me a vapor plume equal to or better than a full flavor cigarette and the flavor is much better than smoking by a long shot.

The puff counter/time vaped was sort of crucial to the question. As was an accurate measure of liquid used. I was thinking short term usage, eg put a known amount in a tank and when its empty record the puff counter etc.
I was wondering about the correlation between energy and liquid consumed.

Personally. I mix up 40mls that lasts me a week, but on my latest build I'm using higher wattage and going through the liquid faster; or maybe I'm just taking more puffs, or longer puffs, or ....
As I said just curious.

 

[stols001]

Um higher wattage will go through liquid faster. Sub-ohm tanks, even at the same wattage, will go through liquid less fast, depending on airflow etc., as well as the tank, but use more battery power (even at the same watts). I guess that has do do with coil resistance? The same tank at 1.8 coil, I open all the airholes, at 0.7 at the same watts, with half the airflow, the juice amount is *barely* more, but it certainly drains my batteries quicker.

It could be more or longer puffs, but the liquid usage probably has to do with wattage? You're using more power, the juice heats faster, you'll get a more robust cloud? I think?

If it bothers you, you could certainly return to a more similar build and go back to your 40 mls a week. You could try decreasing the wattage and opening airflow to see if you can vape your tank similarly to prior builds? If you enjoy what you're vaping and you are DIY juice, you could certainly eat the juice costs, and continue vaping just where you are.

Or... who knows.... maybe you like your new build better, in which case, you are puffing on it more.... YOU might need a mod with a puff counter to find out, but those are the general trends that I know of. Good luck

Usually if I'm getting better vapor, I would vape less. It all evens out somewhere.
Its not a concern, it just got me wondering. ThoughI might have to lower my nic .
If I do get a mod with puff counter, I'm sure the novelty will last at least a few days.

 

[Kickingthesticks]

My tootle puffer results 12-15 watts, 3-4ml a day. one (new) 3000mah 18650 can last me almost 2.5 days if I go till mod cuts off.
When I'm sub ohming I don't count, usually blow through juice and batteries pretty fast.

 

[tj99959]

It's a bit more complex than just 'how much liquid you vape/day'.
What's in the liquid????
It's easy to have 40ml of liquid contain the same amount of nicotine as 4ml of liquid.
Toxins from flavorings can be all over the place.

As a norm, I vape at ~7 watts, but that may be with a 3 ohm coil, or might be with a 1 ohm coil. It just depends on what the coil is in. I figure battery life @ 100mAh/hour.
I will normally go through 100ml of liquid/month. That works out to 3.333333333333ml/day.

We've already had a couple of these threads in the past couple of months

[BreSha6869]

My Alien has a puff counter that I never bothered to turn off.

One of the only mods I own that has one, but it seems that my average (based on the OP's questions) would be something like this...

Mainly DL
0.15-0.2 ohms
60w
500 puffs at roughly 2.1 seconds per puff
10ml

 

[mattrix]

@BreSha6869 thank you
for you then a puff is 20 micro litres of liquid and uses 126 Joules to vaporize it.

I got a laugh when I set up the ArcticFox into my IStick100TC. Its almost a couple years old and my wife was using it to take to work before the 510 threads began getting tired so the atty would wobble a bit. I put a thread adapter into it and I'll use it till it expires.
The puff counter in the AF says 11,440 puffs and 853.4 seconds.

I'm going to screw up all of your assumptions then.

Don't know how many "puffs" I take per day, but I can say this.

I average going though 4ml per day. This is in a .3ohm dual Clapton coil RTA build at 120W. The juice I am using has ZERO nicotine. I haven't used any nicotine in my liquids in 4 months now.

So, 4ml per day average, 0 Nic juice, at 120W.

This is from someone who smoked 1.5 packs a day of Camel 99s for 30 years before switching to vaping.

 

[Completely Average]

The puff counter in the AF says 11,440 puffs and 853.4 seconds.

I have a lot of trouble believing that.

That's an average in excess of 13 seconds per puff. That's only possible if you're using TC. (or a mech, but then you wouldn't have a puff count). Without TC on a regulated mod the 10 second safety system will kick in before you can take a puff that long.

Even with TC active I have trouble imagining someone averaging 13 seconds per draw for every puff they take. I don't know anyone who can take a 13 second draw unless it's so slow they wouldn't get any vapor from it.

 

[mattrix]

That's an average in excess of 13 seconds per puff.

You stuffed up the math, its 1/13 of a second per puff! The second counter has gone around the clock and started again. Or maybe its actually minutes.

 

[Alter]

Here's what I see with the ArcticFox and my IStick100TC plugged in, the numbers went up a bit but still I'm not sure how long they have been recording. It has to be the internal IStick stats cause I haven't puffed that much in the couple month or so I've had AF installed.

 

[mattrix]

@Allter, I figure your about 40000 seconds short, maybe 2^15.

My question is: How much liquid did you use between the two readings and at what wattage?
