How much do you vape?

[dankrubis]

I just quit a few days ago and it's going really well. But I just wanted to get an idea how much or how often you guys vape. I've been getting pretty dehydrated (I know vape can do that to you, but I'm sorry, that makes no sense to me) so I just wanted to make sure I'm not doing it too much.

I smoked a little less than a pack of analogs a day. Most of the liquids I have got 10-12 mg of nic. (Except for the free samples from good ol' FSUSA). I guess I've been vaping for about a half an hour every hour during the day, but at night while watching TV I may overdo it. Sometimes I'll vape for an hour or two straight. Is that bad? Should I try to put this sucker down more often?

Drink lots of water. PG is a humectant (it dries you out) that is used in asthma inhalers.

As far as how often everyone vapes, everyone is different. I vape about every 10 minutes or so.

I find it difficult to measure how much I vape a given timeframe. I measure my vaping in terms of liquid consumption. I vape 9 - 10mg/ml liquiid and go through about 10mls per day.

How on earth do you go through 10mls a day? I pretty much vape all day, direct drip on my atty from probably 6:30a.m to past midnight and I go through about 3ml in a day. Not being confrontational, just overly curious.

How much do I vape? Way too much. I really don't know how many ml's of juice I go through in a day. Maybe it's 3, maybe it's as high as 6 or 7.

I am using LR atty's which are noted juice whores to begin with. I can also vape at my desk all day. Figure there are 25 drops/ml in my DIY mixes that is 250 drops. 5 nice 6 second draws per 3 drop charge on LR so that is about 80 charges. 80 charges is about 400 draws. This is very doable (About 23 to 24 draws per hour) when my average day is 17 to 18 hours. I hope that helps with the curiosity. Of course this is average and I could have stated my usage as 6 - 12 mls per day

Thanks for asking this, I was wondering this as well. Curious to see more remarks.

I pretty much chain vape on my days off, so, I can go anywhere from 3ml to maybe 5ml or 6ml. I do switch off my nic levels from 12mg - 0mg....so I don't go into 'nic overload!' lol8-o

I've vape too much. I don't know in terms of ml. but I woke up with my throat hurting really bad (dries out), i do drink more water than i normally do. I even have nightmares since I started vaping (almost a week).

Yes KissMint Nightmares are common in some people that vape right before bed. I actually like them so I dial up the nic right before bedtime

I'm an RSA at a furniture store in a small town, so I have lots of free time during the day, and vape during almost all of it. And when I get home, if my hands aren't actively occupied with something, I'm vaping. Haven't had nightmares from it yet, but are they as vivid as those that can be cause by some other substances?

 

[KissMint]

OMG are u serious? Would these nightmares eventually go away? I thought it's me longing for o' marlbo.

Like I said I dial up the nic and for me that is about 15mg/ml. I have a DIY Mix I call Nightmare. It is cinnamon w/mtdew flavorings and I have found my dreams are much better since quitting analogs. The dreams aren't always nightmares but my frequency of a good nightmare has increased.

here's a cure for the nightmares - watch something funny on TV before sleep while vaping - I find old Seinfeld works for me

 

[seftonde]

Nightmares and dream modification! Wow, that's a benefit I hadn't thought of.

I have been 'transitioning' to a cartomizer based automatic for about 3 weeks. I really enjoy it and go through about 2 cartridges per day. I'm trying to cut that down a bit, and I want to experiment with adding my own juice. I'm perusing the forums looking for info on how to re-juice a cartomizer.

I too measure by liquid consumption, however have also noticed the atomizer size also contributes to the consumption significantly.(more then i ever assumed)
on a 510 (non LR) atty i usually consume 2 -3ml of ejuice for a while day, now with my Mega eGo atty, I consume about 4 - 5ml per whole day. Usually vape frequently with either, and have even been tempted to go back to the smaller attys due to them being more economic

Exactly - and if you throw on a LR your consumption would most likely go up by another 30 to 40%

Wow, I don't think I've smoked 10mls this week. Sweet! Guess I'm good. Thanks all! And no nightmares yet.

Really, it doesnt only depend on how hard your hitting your PV, but as I and Liv2Ski mention, atomizer size and resistance will directly affect the amount of juice you burn through. voltage quite likely would too i assume, but don't know for certain.

Qwerty correct again.
for quick math assume:
Standard 510 atty around 2.4ohm using 510 or eGo batt at 3.3v = ~4.5watts
LR atty on eGo batt 3.3v = ~ 7.3 watts
LR atty on MOD 3.7V = ~9.1 watts
Standard atty on 5V MOD = ~10.4 watts

More watts at atty coil = more vapor and larger juice consumption
