... it's hard to drip going down the road.
Definitely! I use a cartomizer on my PV when I'm commuting, but I drip whenever I'm not in the car.

I keep an HV 510 atty and drip tip at work, and swap out the carto once I get to my desk in the morning. Then I switch back for the ride home.

Thanks everyone!! I feel normal now :)

Well don't get too sure of that (just joking) hehe..

..It seems to me like there is quite a difference depending on what juice I have. I've never actually taken a scientific record of this but it seems like the more VG the faster I blast through a bottle.
The more PG the more it seems to last forever?
One juice from epuffer (I recall 'Canadian'?) but it seemed like it lasted for-freaking-ever. Then a same size bottle of something 'Mirabello' (or ?) but I went through it like FAST!
But I think I'm just vaping the same amount overall.

Don't know the chemistry exactly.. just seems like some really do go faster than others. Add to that if you have a taste fave and actually are vaping it more.

* I seem to average somewhere around 50ml a month give or take and consider myself a fairly heavy vaper. maybe 20 refills a day I'm just guesstimating.

I don't vape more than 1ml of juice. I have no idea how anyone can vape anymore. I'm vaping nonstop too.

The only time I've used more than 1ml of juice is when I spilled a whole bunch walking down the street trying to drip in the dark. lol bad idea.


maybe people are taking huge hits. I usually smoke it like a cigarette, and try to smoke it when people go out for a ".... break". I feel it's rude to just start vaping in home depot or CVS or any other indoor non smoking place; except the mall, but I barely go there. They always have some e cig vendor in there.

Does anyone know (approximately) how many drops are in a ml? I have a better idea about how many drops I use a day, but not a good idea of how many ml that is equal to.

It depends on a few factors, viscosity of the liquid, temperature, and dropper hole size. It's usually around 20 to 30 though. Drops of VG are bigger than those of PG because VG is thicker.

WOW, I'm surprised with the amount some of you go through!
My GF says that I vape too much, and I probably go through about about 1/2ml a day at the most if your counting 30 drops a day. I find that even though its not tobacco, I still feel that my lungs are not as they were when I tried to quite smoking for a month a while back. I still feel a little tight. And I run on the treadmill at the gym and I actually feel like I can't run as much as I did when I smoked 1/4 pack a day. Yes, I was that guy who lit up as I was leaving the gym parking lot. When I went with a buddy of mine, we would actually take smoke breaks between lifting and cardio.

So as a relatively new vapor I would like to know from you veterans, how do your lungs feel? Can you make it up 3 flights of steps without huffing and puffing?

Quit smoking (almost) 2 months ago and PG seems to give me tightness, 50/50 doesn't. No idea how much I am using, a few drops of this, a few drops of that.... probably 1 to 2 ml ???? Climbed 3 flights of stairs last week and no huffing/puffing like when I was smoking 1/2 PAD. I was amazed. 2 months ago I would have had to stop and rest. 40 years of smoking.... Good luck with finding what works for you....

Yea me too. We're a couple of idiots. Smoking and running! LOL I don't notice any real difference since I started vaping but I worked out a lot when I was smoking. I had to have a stress test and the doctor was amazed and appalled really that I smoked and worked out. He said it would catch up with me. There's a point where all the exercise in the world isn't going to help you if you smoke.

It doesn't say how much the janty starter bottle has in it but it took me 1 month to consume 95 percent of the bottle. I'm dripping 25mg PG with 10% VG and I have to say it doesn't kick hard enough. I don't cough anymore. Sometimes my throat feels a bit dry but I gotta say, I still feel much better.

I think I'm dripping too much. 2 drips per six hits. I notice sometimes though that the tasty vapor bottles suck because of the long snout of the dripper. Sometimes I can't tell if it's popping air or actually dripping and I'll accidentally drip more than I knew. That has to be a bad thing.

So far the Janty vanilla liquid (Ryxn or something) has had the best effect.

I used to smoke a pack of camel lights a day. I was coughing endlessly.

Well........just to make you all feel better - or shock you - I usually use 10 ml a day. I use the Ego mega atomizers. the Ego 2.5 ml large cartomizers. LR cartomizers/atomizers and sometimes a 5 volt passthrough, All use a good amount of juice. So what you're using is a small amount and really nothing to be concerned about.

And I feel great.:)

LOL - glad to know I'm not the only one. I would get off the treadmill and have a smoke.

Knowing that about 20 drops is a ml (picking the middle from low of 10 to high of 30), I probably use 1-1.5ml a day. And I thought I vaped quite a bit.

I never had problems with coughing or getting winded throughout the day, but I had started coughing when I woke up in the morning or the middle of the night. A few times it would wake me up b/c I would feel like I was choking or suffocating in the thick junk in my lungs. That was when I started to get worried and started thinking about quitting. I was smoking about 1.5 PPD of ultra lights. I'm happy to say that no more coughing up junk since I ditched the analogs.
