15W on a 1.5ohm coil, 5-6 wraps of 0.3mm kanthal (whatever gauge that is)..non spaced mostly, depending what mood i'm in or if i can be bothered to find my glasses when i rebuild.
Quite frankly i am disgusted with myself - i used to be content with 7-8 watts back in the day. :(;)

Try 30 gauge, 1.5mm diameter, 5 wraps on a kayfun type (MTL) tank. I get a good vape at 5 watts with that.

You are even more conservative than I. I am currently vaping unflavored juice at 10mg at 16 Watts and 1.0 Ohm.
It seems there are a lot of us here, tootling away.

Many people may find this funny, but I vape at 5 watts, and I build my coils with a single 28mm wire, 1.5mm ID, and 5 wraps.

I only vape MTL and use kayfun's.

A single 2ml tank will last me most of the day, and batteries close to 2 days.

I just want a cigarette "like' experience to keep me from smoking (have not smoked a cigarette in well over 3 years now), and see no reason why I need anything more out of a vape.

So tell me about you...

Since I've been squonking I use a bit more juice and vape slightly higher wattage but when using an RTA (Kayfun 5, Taifun GT3, Hussar Project X, etc) I generally use SS clapton wire, stay around .7 or .8 ohm and vape around 15 - 22 watts depending on coil, and I do change it up some...

A dual battery mod lasts me 3-4 days...in a single battery mod I generally change batteries every day, whether I need to or not because I hate going out and having my battery die on me..

3mmØ x 5-7 wraps of 26awg Titanium @ 30-35 watts, so nothing crazy really. But I do go through 10-12mL per day.:blink:
When I fly I do "drink" my juice...actually, I guess it's more like "eat" my juice:pop:
How many watts and what build?
Or do you literally drink your juice?o_O

OMG!!!

I don't measure, but probably go through about 4ml per day. But then again, I only vape at 5 watts.

There are people on ECF that consume way more juice than this.

I mainly vape 15-25 watts depending on various factors. Chain vaperr. About 10-15ml of juice a day. So to me, at 30-35 watts, your consumption doesn't sound ridiculous at all.

4ml per day...5 watts.

Slow down! lol. Actually I'm surprised you consume that much at 5W.

Out of curiosity, what mG/mL nic are you using. Total Nicotine intake per day is the stat that interests me the most. Some people smoked 1/2 a pack a day and some people smoked 2-3 packs a day, but everyone was just as addicted to the nicotine! I assume it's the same thing with vaping. I've been vaping 6mG/mL for several years now.

Same. I used to vape 12mg. almost a year ago I reduced to 8 than a few months ago down to 6. I still use 12mg when I use low powered setups, but I am seeing recently that it doesn't seem to matter, not sure yet. I might try 6 across the board soon. I don't vape low powered that much but it would be nice not to have to mix specially for low powered vaping. I like to keep things as simple as possible.

some people smoked 2-3 packs a day

That's me

I was using 12 in my lower powered Orion pods, but the only time I use those now is when I'm out in the jet Boat and 6mL works fine in the heat of the summer, so no more 12 to bother with

Hahaha. Well my kayfun is 2ml, and sometimes I go through 2 tanks, but still have some in the second one when I go to bed.

I was a 3 PAD smoker and started with 24 mg. It took me 6 months to slowly ween off the cigarettes. After about a year or so I went down to 18mg, then to 12mg after about another year. Now I go back and forth between 6 and 12.

    I mix my juice 1/2 liter at a time and I'm getting ready to time how log it takes me to go through a 1/2 liter. I have to empty a lot of smaller to-go bottles and finish off several tanks before I get started on this experiment. I've only been guessing at my juice consumption lately but I've been curious, so I'll report back...if I'm not too embarrassed.
