I'm close to this. About 3ml +/- on workdays and 4-5ml on weekends, depending on activities. It's tough to say precisely, because I'll have a strong fruity juice w/ my espresso in the am, a lighter fruit or mint mid-day, a strong mint after dinner (often in place of desert), and my low nic mint mix before bedtime. I don't measure the clearos, I just top 'em off when they get low.Typically during the work week around 3-4ml a day. Now on the weekend that's a different story altogether, probably closer to 6ml depending on what is going on.![]()
I am also using the stardusts(LR) but on a standard ego battery. Started vaping with the ego-c but found it to be quite a hassle. Just wondering what voltage you are vaping the stardusts on? Was debating on if I need to buy a vv battery to maximize the performance out of these things. Getting pretty decent flavor and vapor, but always curious if there is that "next level" that I'm missing out on!I stared off with prefilled cartomizers, anything from 2 to 5 of them a day first two weeks. Then got a Riva kit with standard 510 cartomizers, Boge 3.0. Got a lot of juice samples, most of them still sitting on the shelf - I found that my challenge was not to have enough juice, but to find anything that I did like! I have found a setup I like now, using vision eGo, AKA Stardust, clearomizers on my Riva and VV Ego batteries and vape about 4-5 ml. of juice a day. My advice is to get more samples right away, to make the chance of finding some flavors that you really enjoy, and that will help you stay off the analogs, better.
I have continued to use Boge cartomizers, on my SD Key Ring batteries, works well for my work situation, very discret and pocket friendly.
Good luck![]()
I read somewhere that the average vaper uses about 5ml/day. Not sure where I got it from or even if it's accurate but is how I base my juice purchases. Think it varies from person to person and may even change depending on your set up.
I have both the lower 2.1-2.4 and the regular 2.5-2.9 stardusts. I actually like the regular best, vape them on 3,7 volt mostly. I think the LR vapes best on 3,2 volt. They are almost burning my juice (the sweet / fruity / vanilla ones) at a freshly chaged Riva or the VV at 3,7. Tobacco juice is OK in the LR at 3,7 or the regular at 4,2. I don't think you are missing out - I have read somewhere that the eGo batteries run at about 3,4 volt. The main feature of the Stardust to me is the ease of use. I usually clean them after 3 fillings. Rinse them out with warm water, shake out the water, let them dry on the heated bathroom floor and dryburn unill they glow red/ do not give of any more smoke. All withot dissembeling anything. Well, I do remove the driptip offcourse... They seem to be good as new after this treatment.I am also using the stardusts(LR) but on a standard ego battery.

I'm not really sure, yet... I went through my first bottle in no time at all, but I was trying to fill too fast and spilled a bit of it. Now, I have a larger supply, but I have been mixing the flavors together. I am waiting for my variable volt ego to arrive, and it sounds like I will be using more in the future as the higher voltage will make it go faster. But, that might cut down on how often I vape, only time will tell. I do find that when I am out smoking analogs, I seem to want to vape more often afterwards. It seems worse first thing in the a.m. after I wake up. I read somewhere that they add other addictive chemicals to the analogs, so maybe my body is craving that which leads me to chain vaping. Once I get more of a feel for what flavors I really enjoy, I will move on to DIY to save money...
Great thread!
Really interesting replies to this thread3 years ago, the average was about 2ml a day. Mind you, back then, some sellers where claiming that a cartridge that held about 1ml lasted the equivalent of 40 real cigs - oh, hang on, some of them still do

I never believed them either Breal.
When I started vaping (several months before joining ECF), e-liquid wasn't available in the UK. Plus, there where only 3 or 4 generic ciggie lookalikes to choose from - all mostly underperformed.
As for why folks got through less juice when it became available, I guess it was most likely due to being brain washed about a cart lasting a pack or more . Plus, no higher voltage/mAh batteries or LR cartos/tanks etc back then![]()
