    I vape only approx. 1 ml a day. Sometimes a bit less, sometimes a bit more. Some people vape a ml or less a day, others vape 30 mls a day or more even. I agree with Douggro and Robino1's posts as well. It's different for everybody, whatever works.

    Too much??? IDK, I figure as long as it cost me less than smoking, I'm not worried. So far I'm saving around $200 a month.
    My wife uses 1-3ml a weak, Nautilus @1.6 and 4V 15mg, but still smokes. I use 6-10ml a day at 1-1.3ohm, >12mg. My devices are Reo Clone/Chalice3 and a Tube Mech and Kayfun. See plenty of people out there using 30ml a day or more.

    Yeah, "too much" or "too little" is a very subjective topic. It also depends on other factors, like your tank, power settings, and so on. When I primarily used Kayfuns, one tank could potentially last me almost all day. With a tank that has bigger airflow, dual coils, more power, etc., I can burn through 5ml in a matter of hours if I'm feeling froggy.

    If it's working for you, then it is neither too much or too little, in my opinion.

    Some times I fill my sub tank mini up twice a day but when I do it's right at the top of the top of the .5 stock coil my question is am I vaping too much or is it pretty normal? Just curious looking for a couple of opinions. I know everyone is different I'm just looking for opinions thats all like I said before. Just curious. Thanks :)
    If you are NOT smoking cigarettes...
    Then maybe you are vaping the correct amount.

    Congrats!

    I vape 6-7 ml per day with 12 mg nic. I would like to reduce the total ml's of liquid and total mg's of daily nic. I do DIY to have more control of the variables. I've been reducing the percent of flavor to see if that encourages me to vape less. It would be convenient if I was happy with unflavored. I envy my brother. He vapes 2 ml of 12 mg nic per day at 7 watts. That is 24 mg of nic per day which is about the same as the yeild in smoke from a pack of cigarettes.

    If your concerned about consumption you could always order the 1.2 ohm coils and lower your wattage, should be a pretty big difference.

    If you're not getting Nic-Sick

    Nicotine doesn't seem like it would be a problem, just like coffee isn't really a problem.

    However, I don't *want* to put 15 or 30ml of eliquid vapor into my lungs with all the flavorings and such that are chemicals. Let's face it, eliquid isn't the same as breathing in oxygen. :)

    My advice would be, if you think you ARE vaping too much, then vape unflavored or up your nicotine a tad so you don't have to take in as much. Or as has been suggested, lower wattage and increase coil resistance. Or use a delivery device that doesn't "drink" so much ejuice.

    JMHO, different philosophies for everyone here.

    I don't inhale, I just puff now, so it's not a big issue for me.

    I would say you're vaping just right if you haven't had a cigarette.
    Like everyone else said; keep up the good work.

    I've chained-vaped to the point where I will start getting a headache and feel a little whoozy. Some of the same things would happen when I chain-smoked. Time to take a break when that happens. ;) One of nicotine's attributes is it's a vasoconstrictor, to which I attribute the headache. The other symptoms might be attributable to the flavorings or VG/PG.

    I've cut my coffee consumption in half: I only drink one pot a day now. :D

    Like others have said, if you're satisfied and not having any weird symptoms then I wouldn't worry about refilling that guy twice a day. I go through maybe 8ml a day, basically 2ml out of each nautilus @12mg and one subtank mini tank, but I never let it get empty, so that's probably 3-4ml out of that @ 6mg. But if I was just using the subtank, I'd probably have to fill it like 4 times a day.
