I guess I must be chain vaping. I use V4L batteries and WOW cartos. (didn't like the cool carts). I am buying some juice so that I can refill my cartos, but boy oh boy am I blasting through them. Does anyone else have this problem? I do inhale it into my lungs still. I have to remind my self to hold it in my mouth and nose like a cigar.

Nope yer not. You MAY settle down with your vapeing and vape less, then again you may NOT. Look at Hairball. 6-7mls a day. I USED to do that, now I may do anywhere from 3 to 9 mls (the higher on my days off). What I see is MOST folks vape a LOT when they first start, and I mean LOTS!!!! It's ok :0), then they settle down and the amount goes down. YMMV. BUT dont' get upset if it doesnt'. Vapeing "too much" beats the hell out of smoking "too much"!

I can use a V4L prefill for a week. I keep it damp with juice so I don't singe it and I can get 7-10 days out of one or about 15-20ml run through (using thin clear juices like the two V4L WOW juices I uses and other clear light 80PG/20VG juices). I use a V4L delrin black drip tip as a mouthpiece so it's easy to remove that to check stuffing or (with carto off battery) add juice. I use manual batteries (harder to damage/kill with juice leaks, easier to get a good hit)

And a prefilled carto does not last as long as a pack. If not kept damp maybe lasts 10 cigs worth if it doesn't singe first.

I used to go through 2 V4L cartos (really any brand) before I started refilling. When I started vaping I would only go through 1. I definitely vape more now then at the beginning and you probably do as well.

It's easy to vape more than you used to smoke because you can do it constantly:).

2 cartos a day still costs less than smoking...and doesn't kill you.

Doing it wrong? Sounds to me like you are enjoying the heck out of it.

Something that I have discovered is that I vape more heavily than I ever smoked. There are a few reasons for that, but the main thing is that with vaping I can meter my nicotine intake better than I could with analogs. And of course I can always set down the PV without having to stub it out or discard it (which I might hesitate to do with an analog).

Final thought... prefilled cartos aren't cheap. Maybe you should consider making your own juice, which will reduce your costs considerably. I just started DIYing, and I purchased enough supplies to last two months for the cost of two weeks worth of juice down at the vape shop.
