How many carts a day ?

[PeteMcArthur]

Hi All,
Just wondering how many carts a day people use? I never bought the one cart = 20cigs but as a 30 a days smoker, I'm using about 6 carts a day. Is this about right?

 

[Kit]

sounds about right..you must be smoking constantly to do 6 in !

 

[PeteMcArthur]

Yes, on of the problems I find with with e-cigs is that you don't know when to stop. It doesn't run out, you don't get the sore throat.

Still they stop me smoking the real thing, no desire to. I can smell, taste and breathe again. Wonderful!!

pete you should try 36mg you wont smoke this all day 15 puff and your done.

 

[sanneke]

I trained my self to take about 10 puffs and then put the e-cig away.

Also PeteM why don't you use some liquid to top your cartridge off, that way you only need one cart a day.
Saves a lot of money.

 

[PeteMcArthur]

I've got the liquid ready to go, will give it a try later tonight.

 

[PeteMcArthur]

That sounds like a good idea. I've got some 18mg liquid to try later, but the 36mg might do the trick.

Wow, 6 a day! 8-o I'm a 30 a day newport smoker and I use only 2-3 mediums a day depending on how much liquid is in them.

Are you using your carts to there full potential? I carry a pair of tweezers around with me so that I can push the stuffing down into the cart and get it all juiced up again when I feel the vapor is weak. I also take all my used carts and squeeze the remainder out of them into a blank one with a syringe.

I cannot imagine six a day. I've been e-smoking since January and never had carts run out at that rate. Get to topping then off frequently with liquid or you'll be as bankrupt as AIG.

 

[PeteMcArthur]

Six carts is dirt cheap compared to 30 cigs a day in the UK. Not sure what the exchange rate is but 30 cigs costs about $13.00 (£5.00 for 20!) but I just tried my first topup so it's going to be even cheaper now.

ive talked to poster on here.. who can do 5 to 6 carts a day..expensive way to vape though!
bet there was juice still in the carts hehe

 

[PeteMcArthur]

Yes your right, there does seem to be a lot of liquid left at the bottom of the cart, must have been throwing away a lot.

 

[PeteMcArthur]

pete you should try 36mg you wont smoke this all day 15 puff and your done.

Yessss the 36mg cut the consumption down a bit

First time I've had a nicotine high since I started when I was 14 (and that was many, many years ago)

I need to go and lie down now.

With a Large syringe, you can recover that leftover, and now, wasted juice in your spent carts.
I do it now too.
Just pull out the stuffing with a tweezers, from a couple old carts, and put it into a large syringe, then squeeze out the remaining juice.
I squeeze it into a bottle of juice I have, But you have to watch if you use flavors, so you dont mix them, hehe.

If you find that the 36mg gets to high for you, you can always cut it a little with pure water, or a little bit of PG or VG, depending on your preference. I had to cut my 24mg. 36mg I think would burn out every membrane along the way on me, hehe and I was a 2-3 pack a day Marlboro Ultra light smoker.
I have to refill my cart about 4-6 times in a 10-18hour day. I use it sort of like a pacifier too. I use it like a pipe that is always full. I just hit it when ever i think of a real one.
In the past couple weeks, Ive been able to go from 2 packs a day to 1 or less. That means its already paid for the initial kit purchase. $40 = 8 packs here

 

[PeteMcArthur]

I'm getting the consumption under control now, topping up about 4 times a day, and still not using any "real" cigarettes. Way cheaper than cigarettes or even hand rolling. It'll take a few weeks to pay back for the kit (In my ignorance I bought a real bad one, before I discovered this forum) but I should be in profit by the end on the month, I was spending about £200 a month on cigarettes $354 !!

Are you smoking real cigarettes & e-cigs both? I made a mistake when I started e-cigs. I started with hi-nic cartridges & cut out the (2pack a day menthol Basic light 100s). After 2 weeks without a real cig, I thought this is easy. When my hi-nic cartridges were gone, I switched to low-nic liquid. Mistake! First of all, I think the manufacturers have not replicated the menthol in cigarettes with the "mint" flavor of juice or carts. Mint flavor is not menthol. I have followed the advice on this forum & ordered some menthol crystals. I will add them to high nic liquid until I get some resemblance to a real menthol cigarette. Then I will try again. I am smoking Basics again. I don't think I can mix real & e cigs. I don't have the willpower. More power to you!!

2 carts with the mini in use all day and 3 with the super only in use all day. I fill them with 5 drops of cherry medium so they are nice and damp, but not overflowing with juice. I get a nice bubbly sound in the atomizer and the vapour is good from both my models. I tend to need less if it's high strength, but only because it blows me away and I can't take any more of a headrush, but I'm new to this so that initial feeling should pass as my body gets used to it

i save up all my used carts in a jar i got cigar carts , pen carts and a few mini carts in there. Once a fortnight i'll just syringe what dregs i have left over into a bottle.
Damn near 10 ml every time. Granted it tastes....different......but i can still use it.

This is my first post, so hopefully I'm replying correctly. You mentioned that you were smoking ultralights. What liquid is equivalent to ultra lights? I'm looking to purchase from PureSmoker. The regular flavor are Marlboro (which are too strong), 555, Hilton and Virginia. Any idea which one is lightest?
