I go through a 30ml bottle in what seems like 4-5 days. (3mg.) I only sub ohm vape. Starting to think I should vape on my regular tanks more often because of the amount of juice I'm going through. (Cost is the issue.)

Honestly though, vaping on my Nautilus Mini is nowhere near as satisfying as sub ohm vaping. It seems like it really sucks in comparison. It's sort of like this... Once you go sub ohm, you never go back. That's how I feel about it at least.

How much juice do you guys go through, those of you who mostly sub ohm vape?

Just as the other two said, DIY is the way to go if you're a real heavy vaper. I can go through 15ml a day easy .. and thats on a day I'm working.

That's actually something I'd love to look into, especially if it'd save me a lot of money. How much does it cost to make, say, a 30ml of your own blend? Just curious about the difference in cost.

Depends on where you get your components from. I order my flavors right from The Flavor Apprentice and a B&M shop near my work sells the VG, PG and Nicotine. I get 1L of the VG and PG for $35 ea (I've heard of places cheaper though). The flavorings cost me 8.75 per flavor for 4oz (120ml), to which you only need maybe 5-8ml of flavor for a 30ml bottle. In essence, you're probably spending less than $2 for a 30ml bottle of juice.

One thing to note about DIY is that you should treat your workspace like a lab. Especially if you're going to use nic. I get bottles of 100mg nicotine base to dilute with my juice and if you don't have good ventilation, you're going to get a headache. Id you don't have a clean work place ... well quality of you workplace reflects upon your work. Wear gloves, use syringes and keep everything sterile.

I don't sub-ohm all day so I can't give you an accurate answer but I'm closer to 3-5mls of 6mg. As far as DIY I got out of it for awhile but 30mls would cost me about 1.70 and that included the bottle, so less when I reused the bottles. It really can save you a ton doing DIY. Just takes time and patience to get a mix right.

I go through massive amounts of e-juice every day. And I spend money on premium juices. But I don't really think about it so much. I like the great juices. And there are so many different flavors that are fabulous. I don't want to make my own juice. I eat a lot of my meals at restaurants. I don't cook my own food either, unless its cereal, toast, or something that re-heats in the microwave. I am not a culinary master of flavors. And I am not trying to save more money... I mean I like to live my life and enjoy myself. So the juice that I enjoy is worth it for me as it improves my quality of life.

If the cost of your liquid is becoming a concern, it's definitely worth giving DIY a try. With the recipes that are freely available, or a little experimentation and attention to detail, you'd soon cook up a very nice e-liquid, at a fraction of the cost, made just the way you like it. Great DIY section here on the forum which I'm sure you've already had a look at, with a great selection of ideas that would get you started. I got going with a good e-liquid calculator (most are free), some dropper bottles and disposable syringes for measuring. Almost forgot to mention, I go through probably about 10-15ml a day

i only use my atlantis (@ .5 ohm) about half the time. the other half i use my nautilus. it's because sometimes i like to lung hit and others to just sip. i use about 3ml. sub ohm and about 2 just sipping. my goal is to quit altogether, i've dropped from 24 mg/ml nic to 3mg and 6mg in my two tanks. i've tamed that big old king kong monkey on my back from analogs into a gentle little spider monkey ;-)
