How much do you vape?

I honestly have no idea how much I vape in a week, or even a day. I drip and always have more than one flavor going, so I have to take a wild guess. I'd say I go through 1-3ml a day, so probably about 10-20ml a week, which works out to (averaging the cost of all the brands of juice I use) about $9-13 for a week. Add in the maybe $0.10 for wire and cotton when I have to rebuild, and I'm still under $15. When I stopped smoking, I was paying about $25 a week for cigarettes.
I'm pretty sure at this point that I've broken even and started to save money, but it took over a year and a half for that because I was experimenting with toppers, buying new devices, etc. At my last count, I should I have broken even by August 2014, but then I bought some stuff, so I'm guessing I've probably saved about $300-$500, finally.
The point of all that being that vaping was definitely more expensive up front, but now that I've found devices, toppers, and e-liquids I love, I'm probably saving some money, and will continue to do so.

I guess it would depend on the device you use. I remember when I was using a mini pro tank it was a challenge to go through a mil a day even chain vaping all day.
on an RDA its different. In my plume veil for example. one drip is roughly 1ml. and I get maybe 7 puffs out of it, repeat about 20-30 times in a day. thats a lot of juice, but on a smaller device you might take as many puffs as I do but use less juice.
I recently realized that I have gone from about 5ml to at least 10ml a day.
I don`t know what I am doing wrong, :?)
Good thing my juice costs me 3 bucks a 30ml bottle. Thanks DIY!

About 3 litres a day. That might do down somewhat now that I've found the atomizer thingamajigs.
I buy my juice from the pound stores. One pound for ten ml and i go through about 5 bottles a week. So about twenty pounds a month . Another ten pounds a month for atomizers and batteries so about 30 pounds a month. Smoking over here is about 8 pounds a packet so about 240 pounds a month so way more expensive.
I dont chain vape that much so juice consumption is average. But I do spend more on gears atm.
As a dripper I go through about 160 - 200ml of juice each month. In my case, vaping premium NET exclusively, the cost per month is around $7. Of course for the past two years I've been extracting and mixing my own flavored NET which helps with the costs. NETs are hard on coils and wicks but since I use RBA's my wick and coil costs are about $1 per month. At $6 each, a pair of Samsung 25R 18650 batteries lasts about a year so I guess that adds another $1 or so per month for battery costs.
Vaping is only as expensive as a person makes it.

In Canada we pay about $13.00 for a pack of 25. I smoked a pack a day, so about $400 a month. I make my own juice, have for years, and probably spend about $25 - $50 a month, just a guesstimate.
Its ridiculous how much we use to spend on cigarettes. Now if I could just stop buying new toys, and yes I always buy juice as well, I would be set.

I was a two pack-a-day smoker ($8.25 a pack in NJ). I'm doing about 6-10ml a day with vaping. A 30ml bottle lasts me about 3-4 days (my vaping is slowing down, these days). The only real reason I'm not saving as much as I know I can, is that I'm a flavor chaser; I do know I' am saving, regardless...
I buy my juice in bulk...nothing less than 100ml. The juices I vape run about $0.20 per ml in cost. My monthly costs, for juice only, is about $40-$60, depending on other factors, like whether or not I dilute with VG once it gets here. Considering the fact that I was putting out $240 per month in cigarettes by the carton, I'm saving money.
Don't bother looking at the mods and other vaping crap I've bought...that doesn't factor into the equation well.

averages about 7 ml a day (those 5 to 10 ml days) and at abougt $15/100 ml (the "double down" option at Vista) I'm good..waaaaay cheaper than the cancer sticks and the respiratory Rx's I no longer need.
2ml. (one tank) a day (an 18 - 19 or so hour period). Occasionally, and rarely occasionally, I've had to refill my tank during a day. If I've had to refill, I've never gone past a quarter of that.

6-8 ml / day. Some of it DIY'd, but most of it rest store-bought and cut 50/50 with inexpensive unflavored. Even if it was all store-bought, it would still cost half or less than the ~$100 a week I used to spend on cigs.
