I'd day that's about right. My brother fills up about 4 times a day but he was a heavy smoker. When I was a smoker I smoked no more than a pack a day, ever, but now I vape constantly. If I'm awake there is an ecig next me, still warm :). If prices went up I wouldn't be able to afford it. Anyway, yea, twice a day in a normal size cart is average around here.

LOL! I was right there with you on the half a pack a day. I think, at least to me, that since it tastes so darn good and I feel that the health risks aren't there, I vape away happily all day. It's also satisfying my need to eat candy, so I have now lost 15 pounds since I started!

been vaping going on 3 years, 24 mg, 5-8 mls a day, you will be fine....Congrats and welcome!!! ps. i only smoked 1/2 pack of marl lights a day..lol

Welcome :) I vape 3-6ml a day depending on if I'm at work or not. If I'm awake and not at work, I'm vaping! My husband and I started out vaping 18 mg, and quickly went down to 6 mg. We're planning on going down to 0 mg in the near future. We don't worry about how much juice we're going through/how much we vape, we're just happy to not be smoking anymore.

As for me I go through about 5ml's of 12mg nic (sometimes 6mg) per day. Honestly it's turning out to be a little more expensive than what I was spending when I was smoking as a pack of Marlboro lights here in Manila goes for about US$1.00 as compared to ejuices which sell for about US$5.50 for 10ml's. (I used to smoke about 10 sticks a day BTW).

But hey that doesn't matter because health is wealth! And vaping is so much tastier and healthier than smoking!

So agreed! This has become more of a hobby for me now and I know for a fact I am spending more on vaping supplies than on cigarettes (I see that from my signature...lol). But, this is not counting the health costs of smoking. I feel a lot healthier now and, if I can miss all the colds I was getting, the money savings from not missing work alone will more than triple what I have spent so far:)

Hahaha! I look at it the same way mate. A hobby! BUT with health benefits. Lol! But yeah, we should all be proud that we are taking the right steps to a healthier lifestyle! :)
 
Do any of you vape 0mg?

I'm as new as yourself. I set up both ego-c's that come with the kit. One with 0mg and one with 18mg. I kind of just hop back and forth but attempt to avoid the one with nic until I actually get some cravings. Should help me lower over time without any effects. For the most part, vaping satisfies almost all parts of my old habit without the nic. 1/2 pack per day 14 year smoker.

Smoked analog for about 20 years, at about a pack a day. Vaping 12mg and swapping to 6mg randomly throughout the day. And I'm filling this up (as I had mentioned) about twice a day.
Then there is a quick and easy answer to your question...
You are not even close to being near too much.

Seriously.

I wish 2 ml would be enough, my juice would last longer......... LOL! I'm going through probably 4-5 ml per day, in 5 tanks, 5 flavors, so I don't know exactly, but I am chain vaping at high voltage so that eats battery and juice....... You body will tell you when it's enough, until then, vape away and enjoy the flavors..... :)

About 7% of forum members at any time are 0 nic vapers. Probably, more people in this group are likely to quit totally and move on out of the group than in other groups (like low-nic, medium-nic etc), being replaced by new people working down to 0 nic.


The nicotine content of ecigarettes vs cigarettes

Someone who smoked 15 - 20 cigarettes a day needs about 3 cartos a day (the regular 35mm 510 or KR8 steel tube carto that holds about 1ml total).

Depends on if it's a workday or weekend day. Weekends I vape pretty much continuous while awake. May refill my 4.5mL Vision Tank 4 or 5 times. During the workday only fill it a couple of refills. For the last 8 or 9 months I vape 0Nic0FA, Zero Nicotine Zero Flavor added 90% of the time. It's an oral gratification thing with me now. JMHO

Cheers,

Wow and wow!!! On the amount of juice and getting down to 0nic. WTG on the 0nic:) However, not sure I would vape 0FA, my main enjoyment, right now, is tasting sweet juices. Being on a diet, it kills my cravings for sweets.

I go through maybe 1.5 tanks of an 18mg juice during the "work day." Lounging around at home, I might refill 3 times total with a 12mg juice. I don't finish the whole tank in the evening, so it sits waiting while I am at work. So yeah, rough math, 4 - 6ml daily. Based on all my reading on here, the numbers don't concern me in the least. Fiscally I may be spending more than my initial math said I would be once I switched, but even still, I'm fine with that. I'm feeling better every day ... and still spending less ever day. I do know that once I have truely settled on an chain vaping flavor for the evenings, I will start some DIY to help my fiscal savings.

Since I started vaping this Monday (yay!), I think I've gone through 3 condom fills + drip top-offs for my XL Resurrector cartos. I believe those are around 2ml capacity? Plus, today I got a shipment of juices and have been atty dripping that to try them pretty much solid for a couple of hours. These are nearly all 24mg juices too.

If ya get light-headed, dizzy, palpitations, or etc. Take a break, drink some water and relax a bit. :)

Put it this way...who hasn't gone out to a bar or something and smoked yer ... off...then woken up the next day with a nicotine "hangover"? - I know I have, but I lived.

Vaping is far safer as you aren't getting all of the other 5,000 poisons in the mix like ya do with cigs. You control it.

Just use a bit of common sense and be aware of your body and you'll be fine IMO.
