How do you know that's more than you would have smoked?

I've yet to see a convincing study that compares e-liquid amounts and cigarette equivalents.

I'm not trying to a smart-alec here, but I have no idea how much nicotine my body is absorbing compared to when I was smoking. I just vape enough that I don't crave cigarettes and I am perfectly comfortable with that amount.

I sometimes feel like that too.Yesterday I think I DRIPPED at least 2-3 mils just hangin in garage.usually new devices will make me vape more.i'm usually 3 ml on my kayfuns in a 16-17 hr day.your throat and budget will tell you what's too much

Yeah, throat is a bit scratchy today. I was mixing two juices and stumbled into Shangra La. I just couldn't put the mod down. It didn't help that I was chilling outside with friends and a few cold ones.

It's not the nic that caught my attention. It was that I was pretty much vaping non stop for an entire day. I was vaping two juices mixed together and one of them was 6mg of nic, so since the mix was 50/50 figure 3mg of nic/ml.

It was just when I refilled the second time I went, "huh, deja vu." Just wondering if anyone else had this happen.

I wonder too if I vape more then smoking. I never smoked in the house or cars but now vape inside the house and cars. I was a 2 -3 PAD smoker. Since I have been vaping I have lowered my nicotine from 24mg to around 9mg.

I was in the hospital in April and due to the surgery I had before and after I need to quit the nicotine. I have since then started back on the nicotine to take the "edge" off.

Happy Vaping Everyone!!!

I go through a 4.5ml Kayfun 3.1 tank a day. That's about the same amount I've vaped for a long time. It's also what most vapers say they consume daily.

At 6mg juice, I'm getting much less nic than I did when I vaped 24mg, even with the greater efficiency of today's atomizer designs. You have to know that you are getting more nic when the vapor is thick and hangs in the air longer with the larger concentration of finer droplets. With the Protank that I vaped for so long the vapor wasn't nearly as thick, but I went through about the same volume of juice by vaping constantly. Now, I tend to vape hard for a minute or se and then set it down for a few minutes.

Looks like most vapers are between 2ml and 4ml a dy with a significant number vaping 5ml.

Yeah, most of my juice is zero nic, but this one is an older juice that I was messing with. It's a bit peppery so I mixed in a sweeter juice, one that I felt was too sweet on it's own, and BLAM!!! amazing!! So yesterday I was with friends just puffing away at a bbq. By the time I was ready to call it a day I had gone through two tanks. Woke up this morning fine and dandy, I was just wondering is all.

I guess I'm a heavier vaper than most. I go through 15-18 ml a day of zero nic juice. It's gone up that high since I started mixing my own juices at 0 nic and I'm thinking about adding some nic back in, hoping it will lower my intake overall. Since I've gone up on my consumption I've started noticing some slight difficulty breathing, which is my reason for wanting to vape less juice.

My new answer to this problem is to vape juice that my friends like and I know they are out of, polish half the 30ml off then sell the rest off when the offer to buy it.
Even better when it's a juice one friend didn't like and sold to you on the cheap, and you have another friend that is a fiend for it. Just vaped all last week on some Space Jam ended up costing me 3$ :evil:

Seriously though for me if I'm getting lightheaded or other early signs of nic sick, I'm vaping too much.

I'm vaping too much (well too high of nic) when I get dizzy and my heart races and I get the sweats. I like to try and vape enough that my girlfriend can't see the TV, we have a big room with a fan on high and window unit though so the best I've done is the kids saying it looks like our rooms on fire from outside in the hall. Some people like a cold beer every now and then or a glass of wine as they relax and put their feet up at the end of a long day. For me, I like to drip some heavenly juice and kick back with a big ole smile on my face and think "whew, what a day. Been thinking about this drip for days!"
