I feel like i vape more than smoke , being that i vape in places i never smoked.
i was just getting concerned about my nic intake and never thought to calculate it.then last nite i noticed my juice bottle and know exactly how much i consumed.

woke up and started vaping at 5am and got in at midnite. so i was up about
19 hours. using a riva with the atty and cart that they come with. i used a little more than a 1/4 of a 10 ml bottle . plus the cart was full when i started. so lets say 3 ml. make it 4 to go extreme being the bottle was full to the rim.

so 4 ml of 11mg e juice over 19 hrs.
is that alot ? how does that compare to 1.5 to 2 pad of yellow american spirit.
(which are lites) ??

thanks

As some E-Cigs do need more juice than others the questions you should be asking are :- Did you need a cigarette and did you feel ok ?

Most people will self regulate their intake,obviously when just starting out some do over do it and give themselves a pounding head-ache but if you didnt need a smoke and felt ok then you must have had what was right for you.

I smoked A.S. also. When I quit, I vaped 12mg juice and was climbing the walls even thou I vaped constantly.

I just about went back to cigarettes until I read a post about someone trying very high mg of nicotine and it worked for them.

I got some 32mg and it was a huge difference. I didn't "Jones" for a smoke and I was vaping less.

After 2 weeks I cut down to 24mg. Then after 4 weeks I went to 18mg. Now I use I use about half 18mg and half 0mg.

So what I'm trying to say is that vaping and Nicotine effects people differently. What may seem high for you might be low for me.

But I know this. Most people vape more in the first 4-6 weeks than they do after that.

today makes 6 weeks, i tried some 24mg once and it instantly gave me a headache.im not craving analogs at all, even being around smokers and going outside and vaping while thier smoking. only thing i noticed is that after a meal vaping isnt as satisfying as a analog. 11mg seems to be my sweetspot, id rather vape more of a lesser mg than go higher and less frequent.

i was just wondering if 4ml of 11mg in 19hrs was alot of nicotine?

To me, 4ml does seem high, but that is just my 2 cents.

One thing that I found hard was putting down the PV. A cigarette is over after 10 or 12 hits. It has a built in time limit. With a 510 carto, I can vape for more than 2 hours straight. What I found was I was holding the PV in my hand constantly.

I forced myself to put the PV down after 10 - 15 hits and do something besides vape. I cut my ml use in half.
