Ok so I'm about 2 months into vaping and free of cigarettes. I was a two pack a day guy. I feel sometimes I'm not vaping as much or what was equal to a two pack a day habbit ( which is a good thing ) but I really don't know if I actually may be using too much juice. I have a 2.4 ml tank , an ego style battery and vape about the whole 2.4 ml tank a day with 18mg juice.

Too much or not ?

Thanks for any info.

What ever it takes to keep of the analogs is the correct amount.

Do you feel better?
Does vaping as much as you do have any negtive effects that you are aware of?

Seriously, what ever it takes.

If you want to vape less, then do. Just don't cut down so much that you want an analog.

I have been slowly lessening the amount of Nic in my juices. Now down to 6 Mg. I plan to stop vaping at some point.

Welcome to the forum smith0826. The short answer is there is no real equivalent.

If you think about it vaping has so many variables that it's impossible to average the parameters to determine how much nicotine you might be absorbing.

I would however make a suggestion that you vape enough to keep the cravings away. So long as you are not feeling nic-sick (lightheaded, nauseous, weak) then you should be alright.

I would also say that after reading a lot of posts here, people seem to average between 1 and 8 mil per day of liquid. If you were a 2 PAD guy and are vaping 2.4ml of 18mg liquid, I would say that's actually on the lower side of the average - but that is really speculation on my part.

My experience is I vape between 2 and 8 ml of 18mg per day. I was a 1.5 - 2 PAD of lights. When I need more nic, I vape a little more. Just remember to drink as much water as you can.

Thanks for the replies guys !

To answer the "feeling better" question, absolutely I feel better !! The anologs were literally killing me ...

Also I haven't had any type of negative effects at all from vaping. Actually only one and that was with the first bottle of juice I bought. Very cheap , made in China and had a real strong alcohol smell to it. Nothing serious it just burned a little in the back of my throat. Replaced it immediately with better quality and haven't had any issues.

Juice quality is not always a question of where it came from. I have several Dekang juices that are made in China and are excellent. In fact Dekang was one of the original juice manufacturers and are highly thought of in the vaping community.

If you get a juice you don't like, or has that alcohol flavor, you can try setting it to one side with the cap off for a day or two. Then cap it back up, shake it and put it in a cool dark place for a week or two.
This will get rid of the alcohol and let the flavors blend together, often changing up the flavor of the juice completely. Most people call the process steeping or aging and most juice will benefit from it.

There is a whole forum here dedicated to juice, and if you are like most, finding that elusive juice flavor that makes you just say wow, will take up most of your vaping budget and time.

whatever works for you without negative effect is the right amount for you. on an average day i use ~2ml's a day. if im sitting at home and have a day im really craving my PV, or a stressful day i can run through 1-2 tanks (3.5ml/tank). my juice is 30-36mg to keep me off analogs. i was 2 packs a day. anything below 30 and i still smoke ciggys while vaping. working on lowering my nic down so its not so harsh.
