Hi Quietvibes. No is the short answer. I vaped around 3-5 ml per day when I (really) started vaping. I have long sinced lowered my nicotine level(way lower) than when I began. I used to vape anywhere between 24mg to 36mg strength liquids. Now I am happily at 6mg but I vape anywhere between 6-10ml of liquid per day. As long as you arent smoking its really what matters. If you take in too much nic your body will tell you about it. When I have too much/too quickly I get a sickness in my stomach, and a headache. I have gotten the jitters a few times as well. But If you feel funky just put down the pv and take a break for a while.

The 24mg is strong, the 36mg is really strong. I don't think 2ml a day is very much but at 36mg it's probably pretty close to a pack or even pack and a half of cigarettes a day nicotine absorbed wise. If you can do ok on the 24mg I'd get ready to phase out the 36mg and get some 18mg to see if you're ready to drop down to that level. I was at 24mg for a long time coming off of smoking 2-3 packs of stinkies a day and I vaped and still do about 6ml a day. After a few months I dropped to 18mg which is where I'm still at now and where I find it hard to over do my vaping.
Also congratulations!!!!!

I was curious about this as well. I thought maybe I was taking too much in, but it seems the average person looks to be taken in 3ml to 4ml. Good to know.

I have a hard time keeping the same flavor in for a day. So many great juices to try, and I find myself vaping pretty regularly. Can't believe I stuck to the same nasty analog for so many years. I also been lowering my nic levels with every other order of juice.

I started on 18mg/ml and that was enough but I vape about 8ml a day so that is still almost twice as much as you. I think the magic is there you can do it on 18 mg, no worries, I belive in you. keep the 24 handy and the 38 locked away or mix it down.
I did originaly vape only 2ml a day on the 18mg/ml, but then I got a different Clearomizer and the volume that was vaped in one draw was more. currently I am on to the Vivi nova V4 mini. its 2 ml and I change it 4times or less a day.

36mg of nicotine is just too damn much.. I toke on 24mg daily and believe my next order will be for some 18mg.

Not that I want to tone it down, but because if I chain vape.. Too much nicotine can and will kill your throat and give you uncontrollable headaches. Do yourself a favor and go with the 18mg. On a side note, It takes me about 2 work days to vape a 3ml Vivi Nova tank.. but I usually vape the whole tank in 1 off day.

Anymore than 3ml a day is overdoing it IMO.

No, 2 ml a day isn't too much, also keep in mind the delivery system will play a part in that as well the voltage you are vaping at. Tanks seem to go through more juice in a day, not sure why, tho I personally believe it is because we don't have to refill as often so we are less likely to put it off. And the warmer the vape the more juice you burn through, not to say this is a bad thing, but it does use more juice.

Many people vape 36 mg while they are starting out, if 24 works for you great. I can chain vape 24 mg all day going through over 4 ml on anything other than a genesis styled atty, now on it I had to cut it back to 12mg.

I too started out on 36mg nicotine.. Most newcomers think that the highest nicotine level is what is needed to overcome the tobacco habit. I'm guilty of the same thoughts when I first quite analogs and started vaping. It did indeed help with the nicotine habit, but also left me with bad taste, harsh throat and amazing headaches. All symptoms of overdosing on nicotine. Take it for what it's worth.

I since then dialed down to 24mg nicotine but still find that a bit harsh (only) when I chain vape for a long time.

started on 24mg. havent ever vaped over 2ml daily. i thought i was using a lot and i see some other people go thru more in a day than i use in a week. its all in teh delivery system. i started on a Ego-t type b. that lasted me two days per fil. now i have multiple tanks and cartos and clearos that i rotate on the ego batt, twist batt, and a VV tube. maybe im up to 3ml a day. like others have said, juice is better than analogs anyday no matter how you look at it.
