ejuice bottles--how many to get?

[Heart's Smoking]

Hey guys, just wondering how many bottles of ejuice one uses in a week... I know it must vary depending on how often you use prefilled cartridges versus filling them yourself. Also, I'm sure whether or not you drip or top-off cartridges adds variances too.

I'm trying to get an estimate of how many to buy for a week.... I am currently smoking 3-4 regular cigs a day, but I have a feeling I'll be vaping more than that, lol. I haven't actually got my order yet, but waiting to hear back from KatyS.

I don't know if anyone could give me an estimate on bottles used per week, I'm just trying to plan ahead for how often I'll have to buy these things

Most people seem to use around 2-2.5ml a day depending on use which equates to around about 10-15ml per week...

I found I vap way more than I smoked, that is why I made sure to buy low nic. I have slowed it down and now use the devices for shorter periods of time, more like smoking burning cigs, then I like the Med nic. As far as how much do I use in juice a week? I have quite a few flavors, I have when on one of my vap binges used just under a quarter of a bottle of janty ry4 low...but that was a freak event for me. I think I just vegged in front of the TV vaping away. That is not my normal use. Hope someone can give you better insight. I top off carts. But I find that I really like fresh carts and don't refresh them for more than a day.

I use about 1ml a day with my mini. I doubt smoking 4 or 5 cigs a day you'll use much more than that, possibly less. Or you can go low strength and sip on it like a drink all day long like some others on this forum. You'll end up using a lot more liquid like that, but it all boils down to your preference.

I, personally, use 36mg liquid and puff for about 2-3 mins at a time (maybe 7-12 puffs) and then put it away for another hour or two.

I use about 1.5ml 16mg nic a day with my Ruyan Bling Cigar and it is replacing my 15 roll ups a day habit.

But I too like Kimmie find I vape more than I smoked.

My vaping was greater than my smoking had been to start with, but this was largely due to learning the ways of my Intellicig. Now that I am totally at ease with it I find that I am vaping much less - though still enjoying it. Best of all - no tobacco for a fortnight!
I'd get just 1 bottle to start with and see how you get on. It's easy to see how much you're using if you decant some into a glass eyedropper bottle (should cost no more than 70p). I mix mine 50/50 with glycerine and find that this is perfect for me.

Can someone clarify this for me please

The way I'm reading this, is it's cheaper to buy ready made carts than to buy e-juice. I'm using a mini and 50 carts costs around £20 which would last me a month easily where e-juice costs around £15 per 20ml which would last around 10 days. Am I reading this correctly?

 

[rob1522]

carts never last me what the suppliers say they do so I find e juice more cost effective

 

[Kate]

There is approximately 0.3 - 0.5 ml in a mini cartridge. If you use 50 carts and if they contain 0.5 ml then you will have used 25ml of juice. So that's approximately 25ml for £20 or 80p per ml. If a 20ml bottle costs £15, that equals 75p per ml.

Thanks Kate

I was starting to get worried as I intend to get some Totally Wicked Juice on my next order in a day or two from Pillbox, and another Mini Starter pack and possibly another atomiser. How are you getting on with the mini steamer BTW as I would like to clean my current atomiser before it gets too much like drawing on a mcDonalds Milk Shake - as some one else put it.


Dam that was hard work, either my typings getting worse or my keyboard is dyslexic.

 

[Kate]

The steamer I got didn't work I got it off a seller on ebay so with a bit of arguing I got my money back including the outward postage but I had to pay to send it back. So that little fiasco cost me £5.70 and I didn't even get to steam one atomiser

I haven't bothered to look for another steamer yet ... it's put me off. Actually, I use a Kissbox and Blings nowadays so a steamer isn't much use. The Kissbox atomisers get replaced when they're wimpy and the Blings have plastic inside that might melt so can't be steamed anyway.

 

[Grumpysanta]

Sorry to hear your steamer didn't work out, I've just seen Pillbox's Thread on Trading Standards. That is real scary stuff . Hope I can still get the Totally Wicked .

 

[Kate]

The good thing about Pillbox is that he's been actively finding out what the requirements are. That means that he'll be ready when enforcement happens, fingers crossed. I don't know of any other suppliers who have gone to the lengths Pillbox has to meet reasonable standards so it'll be a bugger if even his efforts are not enough. Hopefully he'll make a good profit out of his efforts, he really has tried to make his eliquid as safe as possible.

 

[Grumpysanta]

It's because of his efforts that I want to buy Totally Wicked. I trust him because he clearly wants to do it properly and not just sell any old thing.

From a USA standpoint, I REALLY hope our idiotic gub'mint does NOT get involved in this. Obama looks likely to win (not that I care - I think both candiates suck sweaty camel testes) but..., he's a closet smoker, plus the US seems to love China.

However, once these idiots get wind of this... as Tbob always says, follow the money...

We need some good e-liquid recipes ASAP. It's like Cash told me, they can't ban the device, only what goes in it.

 

[Kate]

The only thing I've been concerned about is getting a supply of liquid nicotine. Everything else is fairly innocent as far as I can see. Government regulation could make non medical nicotine a controlled substance one day and that would be us stuffed. Maybe one day it will be medically approved to vapourise but that's going to take a while.

It'll initially be up to enforcement agencies like the FDA to stop sales in the US if they're going to I think. It might take a while for politicians to become interested, it's still a limited habit.

Got the Totally Wicked e-Juice yesterday. I ordered menthol but actually got mint. This is not a complaint, just an observation. Been puffing it for a day now and I must say a very nice puff. At first I thought it didn't quite match the feeling of a menthol analog, remembering lung hit, throat hit and head hit etc.

Just for comparison I lit a menthol analog and guess what, felt exactly the same.

Looks like some people here (in other threads) are looking for something that probably never really existed, only as they seem to remember it. I would not have said they felt the same, but a comparison definitely showed otherwise.


Well done Pillbox Totally Wicked is ................... totally wicked
