How long does juice last?

[MrsAngelD]

I'm trying to decide how much to get, but not knowing how much is used or how long it lasts is really making it difficult to decide. I was looking at the 5ml bottles on cignot but I noticed they also have the 20ml, would it be better if I just got the bigger bottle? Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide.

You would be best getting the smaller bottles until you find flavors you like. I made the mistake of ordering 30ml bottles when I started and ended up with a lot of juice I dont use. There are also a lot of different juice suppliers so it may take a bit of time until you find someone you like.

The average use is around 2-3 ml a day according to ECF poll.
But some go as high as 5-10-12 ml, you know there are always exceptions.

Well if you are wondering how much to keep on hand to be safe, at LEAST 30ml. It can be 10x 3ml bottles, 3x 10ml bottles, it really doesn't matter.

My advice is to order a bunch of 5ml bottles even if the price is higher per ml. You'll get a lot of different flavors and they aren't too expensive. Some will be to your liking others won't. Once you find a couple you like order the larger bottles. Save the samples and try them in a month or so. You may find you like them once you get your taste buds back.

Ok thanks guys, I feel a bit better now and feel like I know what I'm after

what do you want to vape? tabacco flavors, sweet flavors, or something else?
a safe bet is grab something from Backwoods brew. all his flavors are pretty much perfect. I have yet to see anything but a stellar review about any of Don's flavors.

next question to ask is how strong. what do you smoke now? are you a chain smoker?

also he does his brews in 70/30 PG/VG ratio which is good but I'm finding I like 50/50 on my passthru

Agree with those above - buy more small size bottles to try out flavors. I too, have some flavors in 10, 20 or 30 that I do not care for :-( Bummer! Could have spent that money on Snickerdoodle! I would say that I average 1-2 ml/day.

I'm not really into the idea of coffee, chocolate, bananna cream or whatever flavors yet (may be later) so for right now I'm sticking with tobacco flavors.

next question to ask is how strong. what do you smoke now? are you a chain smoker?

Well I don't know about chain smoking but on a bad day I could get up to 3 packs. The hubby goes about 1 & 1/2 to 2 packs a day.

what kind of cigs you smoke?

 

[MrsAngelD]

what kind of cigs you smoke?

Full flavor Pall mall's or Camels (with filter)

try applewood tobacco it is perfect, I find most "real" tobacco flavors taste bad. however Don's maxboro is about as close as you will get to a marlboro red. Its been said that don's flavors are the most satisfying replacement for the real thing, but I think they are better than that.

I'm looking at around the average. I vape about 2ml a day. I carry a small 5ml bottle with me and I never go below the halfway mark even on heavy vaping days.

 

[SgtDGun]

hmm well then you will want your nicotine lol i'd say 18 or 24mg. I find 24 makes me a bit dizzy and i'm a big guy who chain smoked. but you will want a 24 or 30mg for nic fits.

 

[SgtDGun]

I just ordered some 6mg flavors from FSUSA for my late evening vaping. it's easy to over do it and not be able to fall asleep.

 

[SgtDGun]

but everyone has there own tastes and experiences. I'm fairly new to this as well but i found that all the pre filled carts i've gotten have tasted like bleah. you won't be throwing away Don's stuff.

 

[SgtDGun]

so my order would look something like
applewood tob 15ml 18mg
maxboro 15ml 24mg
tobaccomelon 15ml 12mg

search for backwoods brew on this forum, you will see what I mean.

I'm new too - thanks for the tips!

And MrsAngelD, thanks for starting this thread. This was my biggest question and i couldn't find the answer. Like you, i smoked up to 3 packs a day - same brands, too. Back when i was a young drunkard, i'd even be well into my fifth pack before hitting the floor! But so far i've barely even broken the surface of the vials i've got, so it seems safe to say that my 20ml vial of 26mg will probably last me maybe a couple weeks.

Depends on what you are looking for- if you just are looking to stay stocked for short term, thats one thing. If you are talking long term in case of a ban, thats another If short term, then a couple of 30ml bottles in a couple of different strenghs ( 1 higher and 1 what you usually use whould be good ). If you are talking long term, I would recommend some quite high nic juice with some doubler (like Tasty Vapor) so you can mix what you need when you need it. I personally used a small ( 3ml bottle) and tracked how much I used over a period of time to see how much I was actually consuming. I am now trying to buy what I think I might need for the next couple of years in case there is a ban. After trying to research on how long juice is good for, 2 years seems to be the limit for most sources that I have found, so that's what I am going for. I also did the same for hardware, and have tried to buy to last that period of time. I'm also trying to reduce my nic intake over time, so if it becomes hard to get it I can just make my own non-nic juice. Hope none of this is needed, but I'd rather be prepared than not! Happy Vaping!!
