Thanks for clarifying... I was trying to figure out what you were asking...

I smoked about 15-20 cigs a day; when I got my first kit I ordered 18 mg juice, and vaped about 3 ml/day... a good bit of that pretty much chain-vaping at my computer. I've since cut down to 12 mg and about 2 ml/day (I'm trying to train myself to use the e cig like a traditional cig... with 'sessions' as you describe, and get away from chain vaping.)

Anyway, my feeling is that if you want to quit smoking, vape as much as you need to as often as you need to, with as high a nic level as is needed, to make you forget about cigarettes. You can always cut back later.

I was actually getting too much nic the first week or two (had some dull headaches) but it was a small price to pay for getting off cigarettes.

I Vape constantly. I fill up my tank a few times a day.... 3 to 5 or more times. So I Vape 7 to 10 ml or more a day. If you are vaping a few draws every hour you aren't going to use up that much eliquid.

Yea. It's becoming pretty clear that I was only tipping my toes in the water; I guess I just had a cautious approach. I really want to put these cigarettes down so it sounds like it's time to step up my game. :)

And on top of that I edited my post and added a separate post so this is really looking confusing now for anyone else reading our corespondents. :p

I really appreciate the lighting fast response this forum has for other member's questions. I have a feeling I'll be spending quite a few of my evenings luring the forums and puffing away!

I'm currently at 18 but my next bottle will be 24. I only smoked a pack a day so I figured 18 was appropriate but I never really feel a good "fix" from vaping. I could be vaping for a good while, stop for a smoke, then vape again. At first I thought I might have ordered a 0 nic my accident but I have a 4 bottle collection now and they all have the same effect.

maybe you are using a high vg mix.

if you vape, then 'stop for a smoke' , you need to do some adjustment to yur vape

Well that actually brings up a good point that others might learn from. I went and got some juice that was 80vg,80pg. The mixture was so smooth I honestly couldn't feel myself hitting it. No throat hit at all. Now that you mention it every time I go for a smoke after vaping is when I've had that juice in my tank.

Don't get me wrong, I thuroughly enjoy vaping. I would love to only vape but I can't seem to throw the pack away. I think I might just need to get a bottle of 24 nic and keep ripping on that sucker all day. :)

maybe just vape the 18 most times but if you get that feeling to take a smoke, use the 24 briefly , then switch back to the 18 tank.

another good question is how long do you vape on each puff?

i usually puff until just before the light starts blinking probably an average of 7-9 seconds

I usually drag on mine until it gives me the same feeling as a cigarette. Probably about 7-9 seconds before the throat hit tells me "i'm good".

That being said when I vape on the 80/20 vg/pg I can hit that until the light flashes and then hit it some more. Can't feel a thing with that juice.

I'm with everyone else here. When I am in a place where I can vape, it's a constant thing. Keep in mind, the buzz you got from cigarettes is more powerful than that of a vape IMO. There are things in cigarettes ( I think they refer to them as poisons ) that enhance the effect of nicotine. I would suggest, vape more often so you don't get cravings or, increase your Nicotine so when you do vape you get more in your system. You can always lower the Nicotine later,

I have 4 e-pipes I am vaping from at any given time and would estimate I vape 5-10ml per day of 12-18mg of Nic. I was a pack a day smoker 1 year ago.

When I first started vaping, it was mostly vaping when I would have been smoking.

Months later, I vape more than I ever used to smoke in terms of puffs; in terms of nicotine intake it is definitely much lower;
I got better setup, I don't smoke cigarettes.


So you shouldn't be trying to vape more; you should be just adjusting your vape so yu vape INSTEAD of smoking.

I'm sure most people who vape alot didn't didn't just jump from smoking to chain vaping in a day; once you're vaping, chain vaping can come naturally.,

If you force yourself to chain vape at 24mg, I think you might run into problems.
