When I first started I went through about an EVOD a day, or about 1.5ml at 18mg. I've stepped down to 6mg over three months and have also moved to a pro tank 2. I know go through around 3ml-4ml a day. Some say the Protank is a juice hog so that may be part. I may be vaping more due to the lower nic content. Or a combination of both. Hoping to start mixing and get down to 3mg in another month.

Maybe 50 mL or so in a month (maybe less). I take hits and enjoy them, but I rarely leave the house with my PV (nowadays), and even when I can vape incessantly, I don't. I always enjoy vaping much more when I have had breaks--be it, 1, 2 or 3 hours. In an average day, I vape no more than 2 mL (if using regular attys). The days I use my eBaron Dripper Pro, I can easily triple that amount (if not more) which is why, although I love the vape, I don't use the eBDP that much (running through liquid, to me, doesn't make a good deal of sense). More power (LOL) to those that burn through liquid like it's on tap.

Yeah Im looking at these people saying they smoke 2 and 300ml, I dont think they really are...I think theyre vaping 50-100ml and just burning up a lot of juice because of how they vape or what theyre vaping out of. I dont think you could survive 300ml in a month lol

You'd be wrong.

Think about it... Lower nic, dual or quad coils, working from home or somewhere that allows Vaping... I'm not at 300, but I can see how that, or more, is possible

I dunno, when I see people blowing out huge plumes from dual coil setups and hooked up RBA's and that Im just thinking, theyre blowing most of that nic out with the juice, theres no way you could absorb it like that. I mean it looks pretty and feels satisfying, but I think the bigger and thicker the plume, the more waste.

tell you what...

Vape a standard carto tank with 18mg for 10 minutes... maybe 10-12 puffs

Then do the same with a sub ohm RBA with 18mg

One of them is most likely going to make you nauseous... and it's not the carto tank.

Wild guess that it's because that vapor & nic isn't going to waste.

I chose 18mg because it's common... but the fact is the same, most people need to cut their nic by about 25-30% when moving to Sub Ohm RBAs because that nic is most certainly not wasted.

I agree, when you take in a huge cloud of vapor, unless you hold it in for a bit, you're not absorbing most of the nicotine. But I need to see a big vapor cloud to be satisfied, and to think my equipment is working properly. I realize it's mostly psychological. But I need to see it. Lol
I don't think I could calculate the difference between how much e liquid I go through in a month, and how much nic I'm absorbing. And 300 mls of 24 mg juice is a huge difference from 6 mg juice.
Anyway, so i don't go too far off topic, I go through about 150 mls a month. :)

i use 90ml about 3ml a day but i make my own so its maybe 6 bucks a month , i use a genesis style rba so i havent bought any supplies in 6 months . its the cheapest way to go a sheet of ss mesh / cotton ball and 28ga wire maybe 30 bucks total will last aleast 3yrs maybe more , ive been vaping for 3 yrs and found thru trial and error spend your money on the front end and you will save a whole lot more on the back end (provari +batteries/charger=$250 AC9 rba =$125 +$30 wicking/coil DIY - nic+flavors+bottles+syringes etc $200) you will be around the $600 range and i did not get all this at one time it was over the years ive collected and learned but im at the point now i donot waste or throw money away buying every new carto that comes out only for version #12 to come out a month later, when you get to the point i am at now i can go atleast a year b4 i buy any thing and that would be flavors ( i like to only keep fresh flavor drops they are cheap any way $3 for 15ml which will make atleast 3-5 bottles of juice) if you enjoy vaping over time you will become a smart shopper the hard part is finding out your likes and dislikes ( how do you know if you dont spend the money)
See, this is smart shopping and something that's so hard for me to do. Instead of obtaining stuff over a period of time, I'm trying to get everything all at once. I keep telling myself I have enough for now.....until l jump on this forum. LOL!

I was a pack and a half a day smoker for 38 years, but I only vape around 1ml a day... not sure why, I love vaping, you'd think I would vape all the time.....anyway, so smokes cost me about $176. per month and e-liquid cost me about $ 24.00 a month.

I'm making out like a bandit!

:D
Prior to vaping I assumed the cost was equal to cigarettes; had no idea how much cheaper it is. My vape carrier said now that I quit smoking I've had extra for new toys cause before where I may not get any mail, I'm now getting it everyday.

.....I take hits and enjoy them, but I rarely leave the house with my PV.....

Every time I'd go out without my cigarettes I'd tell myself I didn't need them, then end up irritated I didn't bring them, then go into the nearest store to buy a pack.
I never leave home without a PV just for that reason.

Ive vaped from cartos, clearos, protanks, rba's, not sub ohm, dripping attys, none of them hit me any different as far as nic content or effect. I dunno I dont care to argue because it doesnt really matter, was just stating an opinion, doesnt seem logical that you can inhale vapor with nic in it and blow it back out and have a majority of the nic taken out and have it stick to your tissue to be absorbed. Most likely a bit that touched got pulled out but most stayed in the plume and was expelled. I also dont buy that no second hand vape effect, doesnt make sense to me. Ive vaped near people who in closed spaces got nic contact, and that several times. Maybe what you blow out has no nicotine left in it at all, dont know, dont care. New business.

Honestly don't know... It would be very hard to get even a close estimate because I KNOW I vape 6+ mils a day of my all Day Juice...
But I also have several tanks (6 at the moment) set up on mods with occasional vapes that I hit occasionally throughout the day, PLUS the dripping (I do a LOT of that) plus sampling and comparing flavors for work...

All together, it's well over 200 mils a month, maybe 300. It's almost all 24mg, but (specially with the samples) can go as low as zero though I almost never go below 12mg and rarely below 18mg...

I vape anywhere between 3 and 6ml a day.
My adv is 10mg using a protank between 7 and 9 watts. Usually run 1.5 to 1.8ohm coils.
If I go much higher than 12mg, I get a little too much of a nic buzz.
I can do 18mg juice, but take smaller puffs.

Now, in my rda and rbas, if I vape 8 drops of 10mg, I am spinning!
Way too much nic.
Run between 1.4 and .8ohms.
On my vw I usually am running 1.2 to 1.4ohm coils between 10 and 13 watts.
Anything below 1.2ohm goes on a mech.

I had to make special juices for my rebuildable devices.
Typical is 4 to 6mg nic and drop the flavor about 10-20%.
Around 5mg nic and I can chain vape on my low ohm setups without spinning out on nic.

I actually spun myself out pretty good lastnight testing a new juice in my igo L dripper.
10mg at .8ohm on a fresh battery in my mech, I was way buzzed after about 10 puffs in about 5-6 minutes....maybe a bit longer.
Clouds were huge and the taste was great.
I love my rebuildables, but they are the juice guzzling muscle cars of the vape world.
