Yep, when I was using mine I did it all day every day. Seemed like I didn't puff as much as I would with a real cig though since I knew that the ecig wasn't going to burn out.
What i do is i drip once until i start getting that metallic taste and put it down for about 15-20 min
when i'm at work i go outside to vape. that seems to limit me to once every two hours.
at home all bets are off

I'm hoping to maintain my routine of popping out to the balcony to vape and have about 7-10 puffs (lol i've been keeping tally with each analog) when I get my kit and doing so about once each hour or so, as i'm currently doing with my analogs.
When winter finally rears it's horrible ice storm face here in NW Ohio......hmm that might be much harder.

Yes, I chain vape. all day. every day. Add in the chronic insomnia and my vaping runs about 18-20 hours a day. Lately I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to vape in my sleep.
I am wondering if Im actually even getting any nic at all. I went from 18 to 24 to 30. I also have some 12mg. I can't honestly tell any difference in effect. So my thnking is I should either up the nic a Lot or just keep it really low and stick to chain vaping. I think it may be safer to chain vape than trying 40+mgs.

I personally believe the nic level is over rated. I don't think we're as addicted to nicotine as we are to something else in the cigs. From the first moment i started vaping i've been a chain vaper and got nic headaches but still craved a smoke... just not as often. Now i vape low nic and use a few drops of high nic now and then when i really crave a cig. Allows me to chain vape without headaches and helps somewhat with the cravings. Still, there's something missing and that's what i think we're truly addicted to. I think that by overdoing the nic levels while vaping will mainly lead to a truely strong addiction to nicotine and still not quell the old addiction which was really to something else.
Plus there's the way cigs spike the nic in the blood for a few minutes then fades away until we spike it again with another cig. I think my method better emulates this and why it may actually be counter productive to use high nic juices for long periods of time. By using low nics most of the time you still satify the boredom smoking, fiddle factor and security blanket aspects of smoking while allowing your nic blood levels to return to normal. The when you hit the high nic juices and get that spike you feel more satisfied than if you simply maintain a high nic blood level.
Another thing is that if you maintain a high nic blood level, as with any drug, you build up a resistance and it requires more and more to achieve the same effect. This always leads to your body requiring so much of the drug to achieve effect that it exceeds human tolerence levels and leads to OD or constant dissatifaction and withdraw. Once you're at that level you're screwed. So it would make sense to allow your blood levels to return to normal so you can achieve some kick when you actually need it. Anyway, that's my theory based on some facts about drugs and addictions.

Same with me. I also chain smoke while driving the car. At least I dont drip and drive.
I'm only three days in now, but found myself vaping constantly whenever I could. This third day I've been dripping and it seems to help a ton. I drip, I drag till the flavor drops, then put it away until my next craving. Although I do keep a cart handy for whenever I'm driving as I'd much rather watch the road than my atty. Something about that premature death thing maybe? I'm hoping that since I'm so new at this I can drill these new habits into my mind early and keep from falling into the chain vaping trap. Only time will tell though.
I use mine like a one year old with a pacifier. However, two analog cartons a week (Marlboro light 100's)haven't been bought for over a month. That fact alone makes me grateful for ecigs.
I chain smoked cigarettes since I became disabled, and I have not touched an analog smoke since I got my ego in the mail almost a month ago now. It was that easy for me for some strange reason. It just worked. I use 24mg but I am concerned because I chain smoke my ego even more than I smoked my real cigabutts. I am thinking that I will cut down on the strength. Maybe I will order 36mg extra-strong flavoring and then cut it in half with VG and that way I get to double my juice with 18mg and not lose too much flavor. Save money by buying half as much juice as normal. I am not sure if buying the extra strong flavored e-juice (I don't remember which vendor has the option of extra strong flavoring right now but I have it bookmarked) will actually be strong enough to cut it by 50%. I might have to go with 24mg and cut it by 25% instead of 50%. What do you folks think?
I also have some purportedly really excellent flavor concentrates coming from a relative in the UK, although he has not told me the manufacturer of these flavors, but he assures me (he bakes with them) that these are about as strong and realistic as I am going to get. I'll let everyone know when I know. Probably LorAnn but I think I asked him that one. Who else makes really powerful concentrates that are ultra realistic??
