I can feel the amount of juices used are of similarities to cig smokingThere is the 25mg per day I was looking for. Getting by on 1 ml a day is also nice. How many cigs a day were you smoking when you quit? As far as feeling better, vaping is more stress than breathing air. Less vaping is better than more. To figure out your daily ml with dripping count the drops from your usual bottle into a syringe to 2 ml and divide by 2. Then as the day wears on record the number of drops. The sized of drops can vary. A typical number of drops might be 40-45. I use a 3 ml syringe to do that. Almost any pharmacy should be able to give you one without the needle. Explain you are measuring an ingrediant.
Your amount is close enough to 25mg to count. May be the absorbtion of nic in vaping is about the same as from smoking. The unburned nic in cigarette smoke is about 1 mg per cigarette, some percent of that is absorbed by the body. I wonder if the absorbtion rate of nic from vaper is similar. I suspect it is.
Another pack a day vaper.I vape 3mg, and I usually get through about 10ml a day, so 30ish.
That's me.Another pack a day vaper.
I agree about DIY. I like the convenience, the mony saved and I'm more comfortable vaping something I mixed. It also seems like the taste is better and I think the main reason for that is the companies use too much and too many flavors for my taste. And I'm seeing there are former pack a day smokers who are comfortable with 25mg a day in their vape.My wife and I go through 50ml of 100mg nic a month so thats @600mls of juice a month to my calculation, since I vape 12nic and my wife vapes 4 nic(recently cut back from 6nic). My records indicate that she vapes roughly 50ml a week of 4nic in a subtank mini so she vapes 200mls and I must vape the other 400 in a month. She tootle puffs a 1.6 build in her subtank and I like subohm builds so I can easily vape double, if not more than my wife vapes.
Its great to DIY juice so I don't have to keep track so you don't run out before mail order shows up or have to vape green partially steeped juice and best of all in my circumstance...no more anxiety of customs when ordering juice to come over the border. I spend the extra bucks to source my nic in Canada.

I was doing direct lung hits for the first three months then realized I preferred MTL which also reduced daily ml's. From reading these posts clearly there are vapers who used to smoke the same as me but vape a lot less so it can be done.6-8mls of 3mg juice daily. I prefer mouth hits to lung hits and have downgraded from a Herakles tank that ran a .2ohm coil at 50W to my old KangerTech Subtank Mini running the RBA @ .55ohms with 24W.
With the Herakles I was going through almost 15ml a day, as well as 2-3 18650's in my Sigelei and I absolutely hated it, so I went back to the Subtank. Now I don't go through nearly as much juice and maybe only have to swap out a battery once. Feels better, Man!
I took part in an earlier thread asking this question but wondered if anyone has ever rallied the results or posted a curve, I'll search for it.5-7 ml of 15mg, so 75-105 mg/day.
Threads with this question have been done before and there results were a bell curve that looked centered around 50-ish mg/day.
Absorption from vapor is less efficient than from smoke. I have a fuzzy recollection that at least one study was done that found that people self-titrate to lower nic levels in the blood when they vape rather than smoke.
Or you could just get a bigger freezer.![]()

Maybe, but in looking at the numbers I've seen, folks that vape smaller amounts of eliquid (translates to lower power) use higher nic, and folks that vape large amounds of eliquid (translates to higher power) use lower nic, and the nic totals seem to come out in the same rangesI think the curve would show a definite rise over time, since so many devices are so much more vapor-productive than they used to be, so they need a lot more juice to make such extravagant vapor.
