Like others said, with the amount of gear, I can believe it. Counting everything I have including batteries (and not coils or cartos) I probably have maybe 30? - 40? "devices" total with more on the way after about 150 days of vaping.

And as to 20 ml of 24 mg a day? I find that a little amazing.

Its not all that hard. I have been a vaper a little under 3 years. I only have 6 mods, 7 gennies, about a dozen carto tanks. I'm not that big on collecting. I vape at 15 to 18 mg strength. 15 to 20 mls. a day. With a .8 ohm coil and a 3/16 wick I could easily empty a 3.5 ml genny under an hour. Some of us have higher tolerance to nic. Some of us have longer than normal days as well.:)

yeah, I was going to say/ask, that I think sub-ohm'ing requires more liquids.
I don't sub-ohm, I use tanks with coils around 1.8 to 2.5 ohm, I generally go thru 3-6 ml a day.
So, I can see where one could go thru 20 ml a day.

Ever sit in front of a tv watching your favorite movie with a big bag of chips, and a commercial comes on. You only then realize you ate the whole bag not even remembering that you did. I'm kind of like that with vaping lol.

Hey everyone,

Nic here with a quick (possibly idiotic) question. At what point does a vape collection get to be an obsession and too much to handle. I recently ran into a sales person at my local vape store who told me he has over 100 different batteries, carts, atomizers, mods and the like. Not that I couldn't fathom that many accessories, but to which point does the hobby end and the addiction to nicotine become something worse then when you were smoking analogs? He was bragging about vaping more than 20ml's of juice a day of 24mg, is that even safe? Hahaha.

Anyways, I appreciate any feed back guys :)

He may just be doing 20ml a day, could be a serious cloud chaser and not inhaling... therefore just wasting all that nummy nic...

Well, I suppose there are folks out there who will take anything to extremes.

At this point, we can't be sure if vaping 20ml of 24mg per day is any less safe than vaping 2ml of 6mg per day. In general though, I believe that anything done in excess has a far greater likelihood of being harmful. He's probably vaping at extremely high wattages to go through that much juice that quickly. There just aren't enough hours in the day for someone to vape that much at 7.5 watts. :p

As for the collection, if it's his thing, then I guess it's his thing. As long as he's not in danger of putting himself out of house and home, then more power to him. Counting all my equipment (including DIY accessories) I'm probably in excess of 100 items, but it's not as "bad" as it sounds.

Is it? :laugh:

yup it is... between me and the wife we have
1 SVD
1 Vamo3 (broken display)
2 broken Protank 1's
2 eGo Batteries
1 Kanger Evod tank
1 Smok bulb
2 CE8
1 RSST
1 R91C
and 5 different flavors ( 3 are the wifes)
and we are both happy with what we have they work for us.. :)

Very unlikey anyone could vape over 20ml of 2.4mg juice a day. I know what 3.6mg juice feels like after just an hour or 2, and in a whole day i'll only vape 3 ish mils. No way !, there's no way this guys vaping that much nicotine.

Alright, alright i vape 45 mil a day of 3.6mg juice, hows that !. Yeah right !

Go back to the shop and ask him if you could spend the day and watch him vape what he says he can.:)

Unless this guy is about 30 stone in weight with about 20 pints of blood in him, i'd say it's physically impossible to vape like that.

Anyone that's say they can vape massive quantities of nicotine is talking complete crap !.

No !

Right, what i said i vaped earlier, it was wrong, yeah i can vape like 60 mil, yeah 60 mil of 50mg,:laugh:, nicotine juice a day.

Beat that !!

2.4 and 3.6 would be like vaping air, I think you may have let your decimal point slip on you.

Your right. i should have used %. My mistake. The point still stands though.

Yes it does, I consider myself a bit of a chain vaper and can't imagine going through 20 ml in a normal day. You wouldn't be able to set your ecig down. I guess the argument for sub ohm vaping could come in to play here.

Yes, obviously 20ml in a dripper with sub ohms easily done, but never with that much nicotine right !.

I know when i've had enough. For example when i get up, do what i've got to do, then sit down and start vaping, i'll be at it for a couple of hours, but then, after that, I'm done for at least an hour.

Jay Leno has a huge and impressive collection of Automobiles..
but..
If you asked Jay Leno : Why do you have so many cars?
and he replied: Because I love burning gasoline , I burn about 500 gallons of gasoline a day.

100 pieces total? Not really excessive IMHO.

I consider my collection of stuff moderate at 5 VV/VW APVs, 2 mechs, about a dozen batteries, 4 eGos, 50 or 60 tanks, a big box full of cartos and coils, rolls of kanthal & wick, and about 60-70 different juices. Oh, yeah, and a bunch of drip tips.

Now, as far as 20ml of 24mg/day? Well, you did say he is a salesman...:evil:

Went to the theatre tonight to see wolf of Wall Street with the lady friend and by the end of the movie we got up from our seats and realized we had both shared a whole 5ml. I had to come home and admit it could be possible, I guess for 20ml in a day, but at 24mg? I dunno about that. I'm going to have to go back to the store this week and really ask him the most important question, where does he find the time hahaha. As for accessories, I think being on this site has caused me to catch a vapor bug of some sorts. I just find myself wanting all of these mods I see online, hahaha. Going to have to make a purchase sooner or later.
