I smoked 3-3.5 packs a day. Just recently quit. I tend to chain vape. I'm going through 8-10 ml of fluid a day. I usually vape 12 mg - 18 mg of nicotine.

If I'm sitting at the computer or watching tv, I vape drag after drag (much longer session than a cigarette). If I'm busy doing something, I generally pull it out, take 3-5 hits and then put it away (much smaller session than a cigarette).

I cannot seem to stop. I have to put my ecig down and walk away. Feels like I'm always puffing and filling up carts. Hope this stuff won't kill off any more brain cells.
Well, if it does I will be brainless pretty soon... LOL! I'm going through about 4 ml of 18 mg juice a day, I vape all day, whenever I want to (which is always!). I work from home most of the time and even if I have to go to the office, I am allowed to vape there, it's only 2 of us in the office, boss is a non-smoker/non-vaper but doesn't mind........

I used to smoke about 1.5 packs a day of Camel Blues. To the best of my knowledge those were .8mg nicotine per cigarette. So 30 x .8 = 24mg nicotine per day.

Vaping for six months now I go through 2ml of 24mg juice per day. That's 50mg nicotine per day. However, I don't inhale vapor. I take a mouth and throat full of vapor and exhale slowly through the nose. Lots of vapor is exhaled.

How much nicotine do I get per day from vaping? I'd say at most I get the same 24mg I used to get from smoking and probably quite a bit less regardless of the 2ml of 24mg juice I use each day.

I have to vape twice as long before I get the same nicotine taste and hit I got from smoking a cigarette. I also felt pretty uncomfortable (nicotine starvation) during first three days after switching over to vaping exclusively. This discomfort was probably caused by getting less nicotine and getting none of the other addictive compounds that accompany nicotine in tobacco tar.

My big problem when I switched was that I had been using cigarettes as a timing device. "I deserve a 10 minute break." "One smoke while the oven preheats." "Time for a cigarette while the laundry cools enough for me to fold."
I vape 4-5 ml. a day because I'm my mother's caretaker and she smokes so she doesn't care. I tried to get her to switch too, but she's a huge technophobe. First time the cartomizer made that cracking noise, she shoved it back at me, sure she would get electrocuted.

I thought that I vaped a lot, but I guess not, seeing as how 5ml takes me like 3 days to finish. A single 18650 lasts me at least four days... Maybe the 306 lr bridgless attys I use are efficient with juice also... It seems like I vape a lot, how do you folks even find the time to vape over 6 mls a day, and kill an 18650 in a day? Unless cartos use more juice and somehow kill batts quicker? I can't remember since I haven't used cartos since I first started vaping.

i've been vaping for 61 days (analog-free!) and i probably go through 2-3 ml of 12mg juice a day. i pretty much carry it around with me all the time, like a security blanket!

Yup, I think most of us do that. And if I think back, I probably did have a few days where I burned through like 6mls...
