Curious how much juice other sub ohm vapers go through?

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.
Yeah, I fall in this category. I do however always seek deals and stock up. So I may drop $100 on juices one week, but then only spend $20 the next month. When I get premium 30ml for $10 I don't worry about it. Another thing I love is with my subtank minis I only run the .5 at about 16 watts, so that helps a bit with burning through juice. I probably go through 10 ml a day or so. Still cheaper than smokes. I'd also be interested in diy in the future though. At least a little something to give it a shot, can't hurt to try.

15ml a day, maybe 20 if I am just at home. Work day 10 tops. I started DIY but there are tweener options. Let me explain.

I found a juice on Ebay (a well known B and Ms outlet for no Nic blends). Sale price 24.00 for 200 ml with free shipping. I have 100% Nic from wizard to blend in. Lets say I'm tops 30 bucks for 200 ml. That's pretty darn reasonable and low hassle.

You can find 120ml for 30 shipped all day long from well known shops. You can also vape no flavor for dirt DIY, maybe add a splash of mint.

I mix all my DIY stuff to 4mg, I go through 10ml per day averaged out over the week(weekends a bit more, weekdays a bit less). Used to be more in the 15ml+ range but after this second year vaping I've calmed down to a point where I don't constantly need to be vaping like I used to and it's not the end of the world to be without a vape for an hour or two. DIY juice has saved me so much money, went from spending $70 per week on juice to spending less than $10 per week...that's $520 per year versus $3640 per year and anyone who says they don't want to save over $3,000 a year is crazy to me, that's two months rent for me!

Juices were definitely my biggest outlay until starting DIY. I don't feel so guilty about burning thru 15 ml per day of my own premium styled juices as I did with the French, American and English stuff I was using while sub-ohm with rda's. I also recommend giving it a try once you're aware of what it entails. The single most expensive component is the nicotine and also the one you need to handle with due respect!

Yup, DIY is a must if you want to save huge amounts of $$ on juice , what some of these companies charge is outrageous , i spent under $30.00 for my DIY the first time i got into it , i made over 300ml of juice and it was a piece of cake. It's ridiculously cheap and a big reason why everybody seems to open their own business , the profit potential is through the roof compared to what you spend on actual materials.

I go through 20ml per day when I drip, about 12-15ml per day when I tank. I only buy .30¢ per ml or less juice. I buy on sale or with codes, and buy bottles of at least 100ml or more. Buy the small bottles to find what you like and then buy the big bottle. Keeping it the fridge after it has aged will let it stay good for a long time. I usually keep 10-15 120ml bottles in the fridge. Gives me plenty of time to restock during sales. Mixing is just too much of a hassle for me.

I am a regular sub ohm vaper and you do go through more liquid then a regular vaporiser. Sub ohm vaping "drinks" the juice. I tend to refill my tank 5 times per day usually but I tend to vape a lot. Although I go through more when using sub ohm, I will never go back to regular vaping. Personally I think sub ohm is the way forwards :) but everyone has their opinion :)

Since switching to the SubTank, I've started to go through about 45ml a week. I used to have 15ml last me 10 to 14 days using either the Nautilus or the AeroTank.

Cost is a factor to me too so if I'm going to continue to use the SubTank, then I'm going to head towards making my own liquid, either that or I'm just going to start building 1.2 to 1.8 Ohm coils to use them instead of 0.4 It's just too expensive around here to have to buy three 15ml bottles every week at $15/each. On a good week of smoking, I would buy just one carton which cost me $45.00 (usually I had to buy 2 or more a week) so I didn't take up vaping just for my health and sanity, it was to reduce costs, which at first it was but with SubOhm (which I admit is more satisfying), it's just too pricey with store bought liquids.

I'm actually just waiting on my new Amex Serve prepaid card so that I can load it up and then bite the bullet and order the PG and flavoring as I've already bought plenty of VG locally now, and I just refuse to use my real debit card online and possibly jeopardize my entire savings.

Jk lol


When I use my .3 dual coil elm dripper I can eat 30ml in less then 48 hrs

My genesis will burn 3 ml before in done with my coffee

And my current kayfun setup makes me think its leaking out and I just dont see it somehow.. this tears through juice.

But at 14-16 bucks a pint, and mosly unflavored I dont care, so much fun.
