How long does 10 ml last?

YMMV or your mileage may vary depending on your vaping habits and the equipment you use.
The other way I could answer this in not long enough!

Absolutely right. It all depends on the hardware you are using (for example, an EGO will use less liquid than an EGO-T) and on how much you vape each day.

Puffadder: Did you go back to analogs? :( Sorry but I had to ask after I saw your signature

wow really? 3-5 ml per day is quite a bit.. and it's possibly going to end up costing more than regular analogs (unless you consider paying for your medical bills later down the road).

im just starting out.. but i'm thinking i should be at 2 ml/day or less.

smoking analogs, i probably do 1 pack every 3 days.. so that's about 10 packs @ $5.75.. so $57.50 on cigaretes each month.

If you're coming from only 6 or 7 cigs/day, a relatively light smoker, you would likely be down around 1 ml/day, one full cartomizer, and if you refill your own cartomizers they would likely run several weeks each before you need to clean or toss them. Even on a higher voltage unit you would be at maybe 2 ml/day. The 3 ml/day, 90 ml/month, seems pretty normal for people who were full pack a day. This is just ballpark.
Eliquid consumption rises if you vape more often, which many of us do simply because we are able to vape places we couldn't smoke. In my case I still vape a lot, though not chain-vaping. One plus is that since I get my minor stimulant via nicotine fairly frequently, I no longer drink anywhere near the amount of coffee I used to.
So 1 ml/day = $15/month assuming you use a pretty solid, but not too high end, commercial vendor eliquid, plus maybe 2 cartos/month = $3, $18/month total. Budget $7/month towards new/replacement hardware (batteries fail over time, get a spare charger, whatever. Your total would be about $25/month, net savings of $33/month compared to $58 of cigarettes.
Cigs are much more expensive where I live, so my savings are greater, but vaping actually does save $ even if cigs are $5.50/pack.

Yep 3-5ml per day. That is not really expensive at all depending on how much you spent on cigs before. Most juices cost about 50 cents per ml, so $1.50 - $2.50 per day is pretty cheap, considering I was a 2 Pack a day smoker at $6.00 per pack.

I am saving at least $10.00 a day.

What's normal anyway. A 10ml bottle would last me a little over a day. If I used a standard rig, I might get by on 5ml a day, maybe, but I use a VV device and that cranks up the juice consumption.

With as much juice as my wife and I go through, I have to DIY to get the cost down. Can't imagine how much I'd be spending on juice if I was buying it in 10ml bottles, ouch. I buy my juice ingredients in larger quantities. I probably have a year supply in the fridge right now. A month supply would put me in panic mode.

I have just dripped the last three drops of a ten ml day. - This isn't exactly normal behavior for me, but when I'm checking out new hardware, I put it through its paces, and I've been checking out something new the last few days.

Outdoor work days, 4 ml is about normal. Indoor work days, 6 ml is probably average. It's hard to keep track because I use no less than 5 different PVs set up differently almost every day, so it could be a little more than that.

Now and then, when I'm checking out something new, I try to vape it as exclusively as possible, though. I spent 18 hours with a triple coil carto on a 5.0v regulated mod today. That was 8 + ml (I worked that carto pretty hard). At half past midnight until 3 or so in the morning, I just drip no matter what. I usually go through just under 2 ml dripping an LR atty every night before bed. If I ever break my "drip before bed" habit, I'll save a lot of juice.
