I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.

Hi folks. I was wondering what amounts of juice are typically used for a day? I know that it varies a lot depending on many factors, but lets say you were smoking ~6 to 8 analogs a day. How much juice would that translate into? Maybe a better question would be; how long would a 5 ml bottle typically last for someone vaping for ~10 minutes every 2 to 3 hours for the day? Lets say 80 to 100 minutes of moderate vaping per diem. I am trying to get a handle on just how much I should buy at one time so I don't single handedly fund wage increases for every posty in Canada. I bought one 30 ml bottle of GR "Rugged" (What every big strappin hunk O man would get :2cool:) and one 5 ml bottle of cafe mochafillipino or something. I am fairly certain I will need to juice up again fairly soon, but just how much I should get is the question. I was going to buy a dozen or so 5 ml bottles but believe it or not, I found a lot of the flavours hard to get my head around. It seems so strange to "smoke" a raspberry. lol

Cheers!

Looks like i'm using about 2.5 30 ml bottles to 3 bottles per month (Rough guess on juice status in bin here).

I smoked 1pad prior to vaping. But I now have a rather large collection of juice that should last until the zombie apocolypse... :D

Hard to correlate mathematically; I have no idea how much juice nic is absorbed vs. tobacco nic, etc. However, in my case it's simple, sort of. I used to smoke like 5 cigs per day, and now I vape about 5 ml @ 18-24 mg/ml of nic per day. Maybe that's some kind of go-by; hope it helps.

A couple of reasons I think it isn't all that simple are: 1) I vape more often than I used to smoke, I think, and 2) I used to roll my own from tobacco containing no potassium nitrate to keep it burning. Put it down, and it goes out. I'd get ~3-5 good smokes out of a single cig. You probably didn't smoke the way I did.

Hey, I tried... Good luck with your calcs.

Had to step away for a bit there. Having a day from hell here. Thanks for all the feedback. I guess I'll be placing an order sometime a few minutes after getting it! I kind of figure I'll be vaping more than I smoked -- for the first while anyway -- while I deliberately bury the analog fixation. I am also very intrigued with DIY juicing, but I'll go proprietary until I get a handle on what works. I'm hoping the 16 mg will suffice. I base that on a "formula" I saw somewhere that said <1/2 pad = 16 mg. But I guess it is all relative.

One more thing if I may. How long does the stuff keep? Is it wise to refridgerate it? Does it make a good floor wax?

Cheers!

I have just discovered the "C" key on my laptop is going wonky. Mashing it a few times appears to have solved the problem, at least for now, but don't be surprised to see me spelling things a bit more weirdly than usual. :facepalm:

No expert here, but I believe it's good for 6 months anyway, if kept in a cool dark place, like a cool closet. (Basement? Couldn't say; we don't have 'em here.) I read about a study on here where excessive cold (like in the fridge) adversely affects e-juice (as well as obviously, heat).

Floor wax? If you find out, do tell. Inquiring minds & all...

Don't worry about it truenorthist. Lots of people nowadays an't spell worth rap - espeially if they try to ut orners with all the abbreviations. I myself try to pay attention and use spellkek but there is always a hance I miss things from time to time (hee, hee)


Anyways.....I was a pack a day smoker and I found my "happy place" with vaping is about 3 mil's a day @ 18mg. If my memory is correct I think I use to smoke players light. WOW I can barely even remember the brand I once smoked for like....27 freaking years! Man that's a nice feeling :)

Don't be so quick to rule them out....once you get through the 'transition', you might be surprised by what flavours you find yourself liking to vape!

I vape probably about 4-5ml a day of anywhere between 11-18mg depending on the flavour. One vendor I get it from has all of their "medium" nic tobacco at 16mg, but all other flavours medium strength at 11mg -- Explain that one! It was especially weird when I found this out because nowehere on their sit did it mention this little factoid.

I wanted to agree with Cactus as well in that you will probably be very surprised at the flavours you will love and hate! I think everyone starts out wanting to vape mostly tobaccos and I has the same train of thought as you did with the odd flavours. Now, I find myself enjoying fruit and sweet flavours more than anything else. My current favourites are RY4 and Watermelon.

Edited to add one more thing: I read on one bottle of juice I had that it will stay good for 24 months as long as it is stored in a cool, dry place. I believe this particular juice was 100% PG if that makes any difference.

Second edit: I knew that I saw it somewhere recently... lol. I just got a 200ml sample pack in the mail a day ago from Aqua Vapor and their bottles say: Please keep out of children's reach; in a cool, dark place or in the refrigerator for extended life; expires 24 months from date of purchase. Must be 18 years of age to purchase/use.
