Okay I ABSOLUTELY LOVE vaping I just started last week. I'm going to order a Kr808 this week. I want to order enough cartos and juice to last me a month. (I only get paid once a month) I used to smoke 2 packs of analogs a day, but I seem to be vaping much more. I just can't seem to put it down when I'm at home. Which is most of the time.

I don't want to run out of juice or cartos can someone give me some kind of guide. I know everyone's habits are different but if I run out I know that I will go back to analogs and that's something that I just don't want to do.

I would appreciate any advice you can give me. Thanks

Well, to figure out how much you vape, look at your juice bottles, estimate how many ml's of each you've vaped based on how big the bottles are and how much is missing, add it together, and divide it by the number of days you've been vaping.

Most people vape between 1ml and 4ml a day. I vape 2ml a day, so a month supply for me is about 60ml (though I'd get 90ml, just to be safe).

As far as cartos... well, how much maintenance do you want to do?

I could make 10 cartos last me a month, but rotating 5 for a week, washing them, then rotating the next 5 while those dry and washing them, etc. And I do that, since I'm broke.

But the simpler thing to do is just throw them out when they start tasting funny or not performing as well. In that case... I'd say buy 20 to be safe.

If you check out tasty vapor you can get 1oz of high mg juice and a doubler (no nic) and mix them to your nic level will give you a large amount of juice for like $30. Thay have really good choice of flavors. I love tasty finger and banana fosters. You didn't say what flavors you like but I would check them out

If you're brand new, you might be more on the high end of consumption, the 4 zone, which works nicely in terms of 120 ml being probably about right for a month.
If this is your primary juice set, maybe do two flavors that you think are okay right now, an ounce each at higher mg and lower (like 24 mg and 16), if you're not yet fully dialed-in on how much nic you need.

24 and 16 are just examples -- use whatever the higher strength is that is working for you, plus a set at one lower level. (If you're using a given strength, but haven't put the analogs down completely, you might want one bottle of something higher strength, to fight off any hard urges that come up)

If you really do like to chain-vape, and are near a computer when you do, a passthrough can be quite handy -- it plugs into a USB port, doesn't consume battery power. An 808 (KR808D-1) passthrough will generally run at higher voltage than a regular 808 battery -- stronger hit, more vapor; I use lower strength liquid most of the time on my PT.

NHaler's 10% off code is saveinnj, while vapor4life's (V4L) is smilin, and V4L often runs sales with higher discounts (not sure who you planned to buy the 808 stuff from -- those are good vendors, though there certainly are other good 808 ECF suppliers).

I vape about 400 ml a day, I welded a piece of 2 inch pipe into a coffee can which is surrounded by polyfill, I place all 100 ml into the polyfill. Then I heat up the pipe with my torch and use an old waste paper basket with hole cut out of the botton. I place the waste paper basket over the coffee can and deeply inhale for the next 12 hours......so 12,000 ml for a month should do the trick! Best part is I don't waste any money buying batteries.

O.K., I was just joking about the waste paper basket I actually use 12" A/C duct.

As always, listen to the wise and all knowing MistressNomad, 90 - 120 ml should last the average heavy Vaporer a month. I have had pretty good luck with Cool Carto Blanks with up to 20 refills before they need to be retired. A lot has to do with what flavors you are vaping, some of the flavors like Caramel Mocha Frappe take a toll on the re-use life span of the Cartos while others like RazzWow or Wow Peppermint work well allowing 20 refills on the same Carto. Topping off also seems to work well and saves the time and hassle of boiling or cleaning out Cartos and waiting for them to dry.

Hope this helps!

120ml to start with should be enough for one month.
But you don't know what kind of juice u will like, so it may be safer to start with some 5ml samplers.

I started with 808 but wasn't satisfied and moved to 510.

I think best start you can get its Riva - available in 510 and 901 (works with 808 cartos).

Welcome to ECF and happy vaping.

yep 120 should do it, nothing wrong with having extra but you don't want to run out. Tastes vary greatly, so no two people ever seem to have the same favorites. In fact most people's tastes change over time. The flavors I loved at the start are not the ones I am using now. My favorite supplies for juice is MadVapes. They are super cheap and have great juice as well. They have ultra fast and cheep shipping as well. With orders over $50 free shipping.

You ain't nothing unless you're using an arc welder and a fire hydrant.
