I went on somewhat of a...juice buying frenzy over the past week and realized that I now have around 300-400 ML's of juice. It's not much compared to other people, but I can't imagine how long it will take me to vape through all of it.

How much juice do you have sitting around right now?
On average how much do you usually have?

I started out as a juice collector... so I don't think what I have now is going to be my settled-down "average". Plus there's 2 of us in the house, so I'm going to guesstimate about 1500 ml....... :ohmy: But, while I would consider all of it vapeable, there's some that won't get touched except in emergency. I gotta quit buying for the apocalypse. :blush:

A better question would be how much vapable juice you have on hand. I have 300mls of juice that will probably never get touched again. I can't really count that in my "on hand" stock.
I had 200 ml of that kind of juice sitting around taking up space. I worked a trade for some good juice that I'll actually vape. I figured no sense keeping it around because I had no intention of ever vaping it no matter how desperate I was. I'd rather go to Walmart and buy unflavored VG to tide me over until I could restock my favorites if it came to that.

I have in the neighborhood of 600 mls at the moment, and 60 more on the way. I go through probably 120-140 mls a month, so I guess I'm either well-stocked, or overstocked depending on how much water you like in your glass.

ETA: I think 500 mls of that is vapable. I try to do a cleaning once every couple of weeks taking excess to co-workers.

I'm a DIY'er and there's 2 of us, soooooo, about 600ml's sounds right. I have all kinds of flavors, but I have our main vape (staple) that I always keep stocked. I get nervous when we get down to about 120ml's of staple (not counting the flavors), I usually keep us at about 300-400ml's on that. It'll last a long time which is really nice.

I have around 300ml of B&M bought stuff from when I started that is just no good, around 150ml of HHV (which may be my last vendor bought juice as this latest tobacco batch of DIY has proven very successful for my tastes) and around 400ml of DIY most of which I really like, some failed experiments but I am going to give them a while to steep to see if they improve.

Have around 100ml of just the Boba's Bounty clones I am trying, most of which are actually very, very good in their own right even if they are not Boba's.

On average, I would say between 200 and 300ml on hand at all times between the two of us. I make 50ml bottles of the juice we use daily.

I don't make very large amounts at a time as we are gradually lowering our nic levels, I am at 8, she is at 4. Also I have found that if you mix a fresh batch of juice in the same bottle with some of the old juice left it mixes well very, very quickly and hardly any steep time is needed.

Doing some quick math, probably around 1,000 ml. I'd say that about half of it is steeping, though...maybe even 2/3. I've nearly stopped buying more because of the steeping surplus and because I have DIY lab equipment and chemicals in route at the moment. I should also note that I quit smoking just about 7 weeks ago, so part of the surplus was a) making sure that I had enough on hand (without much experience to know how much I should really have) and b) testing LOTS of juice to find out what was successful/encouraging and what wasn't.

ummm..ok, first I would like to say that apparently I have a problem

I need to lock myself up badly. In my defense though, I do make juices and plan to sell some locally. In premade juices from vendors I have well over a liter. In concentrates, pg/vg and nic juice I have gallons.


hrmm..need another hobby

I'll make beginner packs out of for friends who are smokers. :)

I have DIY lab equipment and chemicals in route, as my previous post indicates, and part of my reasoning for getting into it, besides making cheap juice for myself, is to do the same thing. Actually, I don't have many friends who are smokers, but I'm thinking about some creative ways of giving back to the community by giving away some free DIY juice. There are some people out there who are really struggling to quit and don't have a lot of money; I would like to encourage them to maybe spend a bit more on getting solid hardware and worry about spending more on juice later - some free juice would help. I'm not far along in my journey, but so far I've realized that hanging out here at ECF and watching YouTube videos makes me, in many cases, more knowledgeable than some of the people that I've seen working at local stores. Another way to help folks save some dough is to teach them how to rebuild simple coils - like cheap rebuildable drip atomizers and Evod/Protank atomizers. I know that the brick & mortar shops need to be profitable to stay open, and they are providing a service to the community by being there, but I've seen some ridiculous prices, too - and that doesn't help. Not everybody is going to be inclined to come to ECF - some would be terribly overwhelmed by this brave new world, and on some level it has to be about helping people more than it is about making money. I'm glad that there are people who truly are paying it forward with this...I still think that it's a miracle that I'm not still smoking, so maybe I'm still rather excited, but that's something to be excited about!

I've thought about that, too, but I'm concerned about the liability. Maybe I'm being too cautious, but in such a litigious society, I don't want to get sued! At least, I'd want the shop to sign some sort of waiver or something. I'd have to talk to a lawyer friend of mine before something like that.

What're your thoughts?

That is touchy. If the shop sells to a minor there will be an issue. I take every precaution to make sure the nicotine levels are accurate so from that point of view I know they are only getting what is listed. I do put disclaimers on the sides of any bottles I sell to other people.
