ok just started vaping a few days ago and love it. now i am wondering if i love it a bit too much . i used to smoke pack a day marlboro lights. i don't know the nicotine equivalent is in liquid. i finished 15ml bottle in 3 days! does that sound too much too quick ? i don't feel any discomfort but i really want to know what is "normal" . with analogs you have a routine and defined number of cigs a day. how do you do the same with juice ?

The average amount is 2-3 ml to 5 ml per day. A lot also depends on your device. Low resistance uses more juice, tanks use more juice. If you're using cartomizers, you don't vape them bone dry. 5 is on the higher end, but there are people that vape more. What strength nicotine are you vaping?
8mg but i am thinking of bumping up to 16mg since i don't feel the TH is enough with 8mg. the device i am using is a volcano magma + tank
Here are poll results

I wouldn't worry. Most people vape more when they first start. As long as you feel OK and you aren't smoking too.

I'm sure that's why. Also, when I was using a tank, I was using almost double the amount of juice for some reason. I went through juice like crazy with tanks.
Make sure you drink ALOT of water, especially if you keep vaping that much. Vaping dehydrates you, so unless you want to poop a brick haha, keep drinking while you vape!
Goodluck!
Goodluck!
I vaped like mad when i first quit cigs. My box mod never left my hand. Within a few weeks I vaped more like i smoked, with breaks in between. I vape 3-5 ml per day of 11mg juice. Dont fret. Focus on quitting analogs, then you can adjust your vaping to suit. Good luck!

I wouldn't be too hard on yourself seeing that you are just starting out as well. You might need a higher intake right now. A higher level of nic like 18 or 24 may help satisfy you from going over what you think is "overboard". I personally, don't pay attention to in my intake. I tend to use cartomizers so with topping off as swedishfish mentioned so they are never bone dry I'm probably around at least 5ml a day or more myself.
I barely vape 1mL a day with 11mg nic and I feel like I'm vaping much more compared to when I smoked (1/2 PAD) because now I'm vaping inside work and at home. Before, I would take a few breaks at work to smoke and only smoke a few more analogs after I got home. Now I'll sit on my couch and just vape away all night it seems. It seems crazy when I hear how many people can vape 3-5mL a day. How do you find the time to vape the much?
I average about 6ml of 24mg per day. That seems high to me. I'm out if work right now so I think that has a lot to do with it. I'm in on the pre-order for the Lava Tube so I'm hoping I'll get more satisfaction out of higher voltage and be able to go longer between puffs.
I'm interested to learn more about WTA juices to help with my consumption rate as well. Its interesting looking stuff.

I've been vaping ~ 1 mL/day of 18 mg/mL juice, but I'm just getting started. I had such bad experiences with the gum and the patches and the quit smoking drugs that I wanted to take it easy. I am still smoking a half a pack of analogs/day, down from 1-1/2 packs a day, so I guess I need to vape more, LOL.
Really, 5ml a day from a tank isn't that bad. As Sweedishfish and others have mentioned, you will tend to vape more in the beginning. One theory on that is that when you switch, you are dropping several addictive substances, but only replacing one of them. So you vape more to make up for that.
There's also a difference in absorption rates between vaping and smoking.
If you feel like you are not getting the TH you need, then I would say yes, up the nic, or if you are using a juice with a lot of VG, switch to something that is heavier on the PG. Another option might be to switch to a lower resistance atomizer, which will give you a hotter vape, and more effective TH. Depending on your battery though, that might not be something you can do. You could also consider going to LR cartomizers, they will generally provide more TH and flavor than a tank system. YMMV there.

I smoked two packs of analogs a day and quit as soon as i started vaping, now i go through about 4 ml a day. Im using a tank with a low res atty, so maybe with a diff unit i would save some juice. As long as it keeps me happy and off analogs im going to stick with it.
When I started vaping about 2 years ago I was in the same boat. I had to vape every waking moment just to not have cravings. And yet, according to others, I seemed pretty irritable. That was at 18 mg. I too probably vaped close to 5 ml a day then. Now I vape 36 mg and about 1.5 ml gets me through the day. And I do not feel like I have to breath nothing but vapor. To me that is the hardest/ most important part of vaping. Finding what works for you. Everyone is different, and while we can suggest things all day, you really just need to find what works for you. If 5 ml a day works for and keeps you off the analogs then good for you. But if yor vaping that much I would highly encourage you to look into DIY. And keep vaping!
I vape roughly 5ml a day myself using my BuzzPro and various atty's. But even when I was using eGo's and tanks and especially once I got my eGo Booster I was vaping the same amount of liquid. Hasn't killed me yet nor do I poop bricks. lol.
When I was unemployed I probably vaped upwards of 7ml a day at my heaviest. I notice if given the opportunity my PV never leaves my hand.

Normal is what feels comfortable to you. I have been vaping a bit over 6 months, and I still have a pv with me all of the time. If I want it, I know it's there. I switch flavors quite often through the day as I don't think I could stick with one flavor. I am still intrigued by the novelty of vaping. As long as you don't feel unwell from vaping, go ahead and enjoy it.
I vape 7-10 ml a day 15-18mg juice. So I would say no but everyone vapes at their own pace.
