How many ml/day makes you a "heavy" vaper?

[Eric in AK]

I've only been vaping for six days now, so I guess I haven't settled into a consistent daily use of my 510. It came with some pre-filled carts, and I've also bought a few 5 ml flavored e-liquids to try and a few different sizes/strengths of Ecopure and some VG liquid for mixing.

To tell you the truth, when I look at those 5ml bottles and sort of mentally calculate how many times I've either filled blank carts or topped off the pre-filled ones, I think, heck, I don't use 2.5 ml a day. I somehow expected I'd be using a lot more. So, without factoring in replacement costs on atomizers which, at $8 each probably won't cost me 50 cents a day, I'm figuring I'm using maybe $1.50 a day in juice, if that.

Does that sound about average, maybe 2 to 3 ml a day? I realize we all vape different strengths and have variations in how we inhale or how long we hold the vapor in our lungs, so I think the only real measure of usage is ml per day.

2-3ml sounds about average to me What is the nic in mg/ml That makes a big difference too Some people use a higher nic in am and then lower the nic for all day vaping Hope that helps

Anything over .5ml a day and you are considered a VAP-O-HOLIC haha ... just kiddin

Average is right about 2-3ml a day ...

I vape 5-6ml per day and have been up to 8-10ml per day on higher voltage devices on bad days .... If it takes 2ml or 10ml a day to keep you off analogues, its worth it IMO ...

Enjoy vaping!!!

I use a high volt mod so my liquid consumption is a good bit more than that. I haven't noted how much liquid I vape, but I know it's 5 ml or more.

 

[prof beard]

I average 2-2.5ml a day

7 ml is considered by many to be the definition of real "heavy use"---I use about 5ml.

Thanks for your input. I think my "smoke free" signature thing saying how much I've saved is probably inaccurate. I was spending almost exactly $3 a day for analogs before quitting. I guess I'm saving about $1.50 a day, not taking into account the initial hardware purchase for my 510 and accessories. Still, there's simply no putting a price on how great I feel in just under a week of being smoke free. The savings are merely a pleasant bonus (about a $500/year bonus, at that...).

I change flavors so much that I'm not sure exactly how much I vape. I use anywhere from 12mg strength to 36mg depending on stress and what's going on. I do know that I have slowed down since I first started. I actually put my ecig down now and then,lol Before, if I was awake I was vaping.

It varies wildly. I specifically go for less nicotine (I'd drop it even more if eastmall had lower nic) so that I can vape all day without my head swimming. 8mg 2-3ml/day does me just fine. I also use less as I'm not using carts, and therefore don't waste any as it gets absorbed by the cart or floods out the atty. With carts I was easily on 4ml/day.

Bottom line - When you don't need to smoke any more, that is the correct amount/strength for you.

Now if I was still using the 801, I'd probably be going through 12ml/day with 10 of that being leaked out of the atty.

we use 2 to 3 a day.. to be honest i find it hard to believe people can use 7 ml a day.. i certainly dont think its wise..

seven ml a day also equates with using something like twenty pre-filled 901 mini carts per day.. allowing for the fact that at least 30% of the fluid gets left in them..

so much for the claim one cart equals a packet of twenty real cigs which is still doing the rounds.. that would be twenty packets of cigs per day... he he he

i think 3 ml per should be consider heavy use but i just "smoke" the stuff to satisfy my addiction i dont consider myself an "enthusiast" ..

It's amazing that some sites still tout that their carts last the equivalent of a pack of tobacco cigarettes, cartomizers especially are bad for it. I finally got tired of wondering and ordered a cartomizer for myself so I will know next week for sure. I don't see it lasting the equivalent of a pack, not going by how the m401 and the 510 have worked so far.

Im going threw approx 2 cartomizers a day, when I use to smoke approx 2 packs a day. So I think thats about right. On the flip side though I can re-fill a cartomizer with about 4cc of juice, which is equal to about 4mls. In that case Im vaping about 8mls a day 8-o

From everything I've read, I'm not sure if there even really is an average.

I would go from 1 to 2 packs of analogs a day.

Now, I've been on my 510 for 5 days and have used what appears to be around 50% of my 15ml 18mg fluid.

I've also used a couple of the prefilled that came with the 510, but only 2-3, since ... well ... I don't have a very good reason, just 'cuz. Maybe I just like refilling.

Now once I have more batteries, a pass-thru, and lower nic juice, I wouldn't be surprised for that to go up, but even still... 15ml for $15, 7.50 of juice in 5 days, maybe 9-10 by the week's end, $10/week, plus at worst another $10 worked in for an atomizer a week (worst-case), still only looking at $20/week instead of $60, so that works out too.

Not to mention the other benes... staying inside, no tar...

Smoke what ya gotta.

Using M401 direct drip I average 1.3ml/day.
Using RN4081 5V passthrough mod and vaping heavy all day, about 2ml.

My self imposed limit is to consume one 30ml bottle of JC traditional tobacco every two weeks. I started out at 24mg strength, and have tapered to 18mg. I will be de-tuning to a 11-15mg very soon.
Somewhere in the area of 2 to 2-1/4 ml per day and I stay comfortable without being "married" to a vaporizer for all my waking hours.
Oh, I have been using 510 equipment from the first day, and I graduated to a "nicostik" box mod about 2 months ago. Much better battery capacity and phenominally better atomizer life.

I don't think it's a matter of how many ml's you go through in a day. I think it's a matter of how much time you spend during the day with it glued to your face.

Just a little information...... My carts usually fill with 7-10 drops..... 15 drops = 1 ml or cc........ So, low average is 2 carts = 1 ml..... I pay 30 dollars for 30 ml and cut it 50/50 with glycerin = 60 ml...... I use about 2-3 ml a day...... That is about 1.50 a day if my math is right...... I was smoking 2-3 pk a day of analogs average maybe30 - 40 a day rounding again, maybe 16 dollars a day for analogs...... I think I got to go through many rechargable batteries and atomizers to spend300 plus dollars a month..... Not to mention the cost of Cancer and other diseases, doctor visits, medications and early funeral bills....... I think I am really ahead of the game.......

Yep agree 100%.
This is not a contest, this is us supporting each other and being advisers in an all out fight for our lives.
Right now I am still weening myself from analogs and vaping up a storm. 1-5 ml a day here depending.
