do you vape more than smoke?

Ah the joys of owning an eVic Supreme. Not only does it count my puffs, but it counts how long they are and at what power level.

So I just pull up my records on my laptop and if I look at puff counter alone then I range from 200 to 400 a day. However if I pull up total time I'm at 1,100 ~ 1,200 seconds a day. I also average pretty close to 70~75 seconds an hour.

Considering I smoked 1~2 cigarettes an hour (~25 a day) my time vaping per day is lower than my time smoking.

When I'm out my vapeing is pretty moderate, low even.

But at home at my computer I'm an absolute hound. The only way I could make it worse would be to make a rig that held my e-cig up to my mouth for me. My GF picks a lot of my favors so she doesn't complain about how the computer room smells.

The Camelback Vape Pen - Holds 2000ml of juice in the tank!! LMAO!!

I've been a vaper off smokes now since early Nov this year. I find I vape about the same and if I am busy I do not worry about it unless I am at a moment of time where I just pick it up and take a few pulls then set it down and I'm off again. I tend to hit my Nauti and Aero tanks pretty hard and fast until I can tell the juice isn't wicking fast enough to keep up then I put it down for awhile. That way I know when I pick it up those first 3-4 vapes will be right on and I am set.

As for the nicotine. Oddly when I first tried vaping it was with Blu's (I know, I know but it showed me the way that vaping could indeed replace analogs for me) and I had the 12-16mg or so carts that came with the starter kit. Anyway when I first tried them I was feeling the buzz from the nicotine after 5-6 pulls like I was a kid again smoking for the first time. For context I was smoking a pack a day of Marlboro light 100's when I went to vaping. Now that I have gone to APV Mods and understand what real vaping is all about I order and buy locally all my juice in 6mg at most with a few at 12mg. Either way I also get 0 nic in the same flavors so I can cut it to my desired strength. Right now I seem to be fine at around 3-4mg mixes using 3-5ml a day. What is nice is that I know I have the higher nic juice if I am going out drinking and need to keep the alcohol from making the monkey to loose. Then I will just go with the 12mg straight or 6mg minimum of the flavors I fancy vaping with booze usually a tobacco blend. Sometimes I just load up 0mg straight and go at that for the afternoon as I try to get myself down to 6mg max on rare occasions and 3 to 0mg for daily use.

Going one a 7 day cruise this coming week. I've got the Premium Unlimited Drink Package. If vaping can keep me from buying analogs while I get toasty all day and night for a week I will know that I am done forever with analogs. In fact I am already certain of it!

I definitely vape more than i smoke. With vaping i can do so in air condition area, and that including my own room. Even in my own house my wife (non-smoker) dislike that smell of analog, but now she is ok as vaping doesn't create any smell.
Vaping while taking a crap, that is the best time, especially i'm a menthol person.
Vaping while driving, how i don't even need to wind down my window, no more ashes.
Vaping at my office work station, my boss doesn't mind i vape during work.

I most definitely vape more than I smoked. I used to smoke about a pack in 24 hours. I started vaping because I started to develop tonsillitis frequently. This year, I've had tonsillitis 4-5 times. (i can't remember lol.) After quitting smoking and starting vaping, I haven't had tonsillitis at all. I do think its a little healthier than cigarettes but its still inhaling foreign chemicals into your lungs. I wouldn't necessarily say its "safe" but its most definitely not as bad as cigarettes.

Sounds like you needed your tonsils burnt off and to start vaping. Oh and nothing in life is "safe" death is coming for us all no matter how safe we are. I fear a teen behind the wheel more than my mod lol.

I've started to follow the same routine as when I smoked. I only vape outside the house and no more than 3 times on weekdays and no more than 8 on weekends. Before that I would vape casually throughout the day and inside in front of the TV, but I was getting headaches. Now I feel more in control and less fuzzy headed.

At first I would vape way more and could tell - by the serious nic buzz all day, like way to much coffee w/o the comedown - sorta fun, but...
After my system normalized to not smoking all the time, I pretty much vape like I smoke, with one major difference:

*My favorite feature of my ecig-nic-habit - I can straight forget to vape for hours, which is significantly different from the clockwork of cigarettes.
 
I do when I'm at home. When I'm out and about I vape rather sparingly, which is why I have multiple tanks with different nicotine levels. At home, watching tv, crafting, or reading, I hit it constantly so I'll use something around a 6, but running errands when I'm just trying to get enough nicotine to stay sane, I'll use 18. I was a heavy smoker of full flavor cigarettes.
