Between 4 and 6 ml/day @ mostly 18 or 24 mg/ml - I switch up several times a day as my taste buds dictate.

I never really bought into the utility of the eVic's puff counter as a basis for comparison. Even establishing a personal baseline using a counter would be erratic, as duration and airflow vary from drag to drag. Sometimes, I'll take a slow 8 second pull. Sometimes, a stiff 4 second drag.

I was thinking that it might be more helpful to know the amount of time the coil was actually firing during the day, so that 2 x 5 sec puffs and 1 x 10 second draw both added 10 seconds to the day's total. It would at least be somewhat more useful for comparison - especially for the same user measuring their own use over time, and somewhat more useful for comparing between users than # puffs total. Still, without accounting for airflow, wattage, and other factors, it's hard to make a worthwhile comparison.

Perhaps, as technology continues to evolve, the metrics collected by mods will become more sophisticated.

I'm a nerd about data and statistical analysis. I know that many people couldn't care less about this sort of thing, so I don't know if there'd be enough demand for these types of features to drive manufactures to dedicate time to developing it.

Drax, I had to laugh at your nerd description. I am a SPC tech for my job.....but I couldn't tell you how much or how often......I may not want my boss to see this thread.:ohmy:

I'm currently an Enterprise IT Engineer specializing in large-scale data storage solutions. I'm also going to school for a degree in Economics. Pretty much any subject of interest eventually results in my arriving at, "How do we quantify, index, and analyze this?"
