I go through about 4 510 battery recharges and about 7-10 cartridges daily. I used to be a 1 pack a day smoker. Part of the reason I vape so much is because I work alone, driving to properties all day. You know that saying "the car won't start without a lit cigarette". Also, with the analogues there is an "end" to the cigarette. With an ecig it just goes and goes. Personally, I love the taste and seeing the vapor. :)

I also started with a 510 and was refilling like once an hour. I am also going through attys like every 5 days. I must be doing something wrong. Since then, I got an ego tank system. That atty lasted like 2 weeks. I am not over cleaning. I did find a cheap place for juice, do you think it could be the juice i use. The place was recommended on these fourums.

Really?? I mean, even if you buy the expensive juices, the stuff is dirt cheap compared to what it costs to smoke!

That's what I'm saying!!! Well, I'm pretty passive, but I've already decided that next time I get flack about it I'm just gonna jump in the car and go buy a complete carton to bring home and throw on the bar. I wouldn't smoke it (and Lord knows I have friends that will take it off my hands), but I think it would drive the point home. Hey, don't like me spending 10$ on a bottle of juice, then I'll just go back to smoking at $50 a week, along with the stinky house and the wheezing and all the other lovely things I've eliminated from my life.

I've only been vaping for 2 weeks 2 days and have already broken even and saved a couple of bucks by my calculations.

yup... like any addiction.

but; feel good about it... don't sweat it... try learning to substitute constructive activities throughout the day ... and night!

it's easier to put down, physically, i've found, once the analogs are out of your system... it's the mental, hand to mouth, vapor thing that's so darn much fun.... heheh

it's all good...
 
I have only been doing this for a few days but I vape non stop all day... probably at least every few minutes I take a couple puffs.... as long as I am not smoking... I am NOT complaining... :)

I gotta go with this answer. I would imagine it will drop a bit as time goes on but I don't care if it doesn't. It seems like I vape more than I smoked but I still use under 5ml a day. I am hoping to drop the nicotine levels some day but I will take it one day at a time.

Here
I have a very addictive personality. I was a pack and a half a day smoker for 17 years. I had to quit and e cigs seemed like the way to go. Now, I am addicted to the e cigs. I guess it is better then analogs. It has been 10 weeks and I have not cheated once. I dont even feel the need as the e cigs really are helping. Here is my problem. I can not put the e cig down. I puff on it all day and night. I go through about 4ml a day. To me, this seems like a lot. Its not the money, just wondering why I do not smoke it like I did with the analogs. Anyway, I am very happy with vaping, I love it. I just want to know if anyone else vapes as much as I do. thanks

Your mirroring me! When I first started it was all about the throat hit. I need to feel something in my throat or chest. I could care less about taste or vapor. Yet again I knew nothing about those monsters. Then I was introduced to the world of vaping flavors. Gone were my 2 pack a day habit; saying HELLO my new addiction. Yep 4 mls were my vaping intake. Becoming concerned about the amount of nicotine intake, I started to analyze my vaping behavior.

1. I noticed that using a fiber fill inside the cart used more juice. Thus I went to direct dripping.
2. After retraining my brain to adapt the rituals from smoking to vaping; I realized I also was using it to replace food! You see, I'm a night eater. Even after a full meal, my elbow just keeps wanting to move towards the mouth. So I'd vape a little peach, Irish Cream, Choc Mint cookies, Apple Pie, Choc Eclair ect...! Constantly sucking on my new best friend. Lost 10 lbs too! (Grin)
3. Then came the awareness of using it for emotional components ... the same way food is sometimes used.

Being concerned about the nicotine levels, I started to mix my own. What a hoot that is! With this, I experimented with different nicotine levels and not marking the bottles with the nic levels. A month later I smoked an ciggy. Cough, puke, gag! What a horrid taste. Whewwww Huuuuuu ... man that was ghastly, and it made me real dizzy to boot!

Hubby laughed his hide right off his bod, explaining he switched the nic bottle for ZERO levels. That explained the dizzyness and lack of throat hit. However, I didn't go through ANY adverse nicotine withdrawls. I was in wonder .. and full of wine :-> What's my point?

For me I am a foodie with a serious oral fixation. <<< keep your mind outta de gutter folks>> Always needing something to do with my mouth and hands. Vaping does the trick for me. I just wish I knew of a way to make throat hit with out good nicotine. So if you smoke 4mls, 2mls or 10mls, ask yourself why you enjoy your new friend that much and if it really matters to you. After all, gone are the really horrid components to smoking those dirty little ciggys.

Having just quit the cigs a week ago, I was finding myself chain vaping. I found I could fill one of my cartos (KR808) with VG and a little flavoring and leave off the nic. This carto I will vape for about I hour off and on. Then pull out my reg carto with my favorite e-juice with nic and vape for a few minutes. I keep rotating through the day. This cut down on my nic level, but gives me all of the vape I want and need for now.

Keyzygirl- I sure hope that you are right about the use slowing down. Hubby and I have vaped just over a month and both of us are concerned about how much we're vaping. I have no idea how much in terms of ml (since we change it out during the day and the ego tank snorts quite a lot all on it's own), but if we are driving or at home, it is in our mouths!
