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'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.

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 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 started on a ego-t with the type B tanks and I went though 15ml of 18mg a week and I smoked a pack a day. When I ditched the tanks and went to cartomizers my juice usage stayed the same. This past week I've been using a 5v pass-though that I made and now its hard to keep track cause my juice just disappears into giant beautiful clouds of delicious vapor!

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.

Agreed. Sometimes I vape more or less than 5mls on any given day. Just depends where I am and what I'm doing. This seems to be a good average for me and what I base my ordering on.

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!

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.
Sory if tthis is off topic - got carried away :vapor: vaping some lovely grape juice at 3,7 volts in a SR Stardust....

Great thread!


I've done a lot of research on that.. There certainly are addictive chemicals in cigarettes other than nicotine.

At first, I went through something like 7 to 10 prefilled cartridges a day (came with the setup). Then I went on to a VV or PV (not sure what the difference is there) and started to fill my own cartridges. That was 3 months ago. Until I found my all day vape (about 2 weeks ago), I think I was going through 5 to 7 ml a day. Now that I've found my all-day vape, and after wrestling with the nicotine strength I needed, I have gone down to 3 ml a day, 18 mg. I definitely feel much more at peace after that ordeal. Ha.

Really interesting replies to this thread :) 3 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 ;) :shock:

I think that a cartridge is about 3 cigarettes no matter what anyone says. lol! Why do you think that people vaped less 3 years ago? Because even though the companies I bought my first 2 setups said that a cartridge is a pack, I never believed them.

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 :)

I tell you, when I heard that balderdash, I was alarmed and cried foul! If that were true then that would mean that I would have gone from smoking a pad to 10 pads a day! lol! No way! So, I suffered for the first month thinking I was some glutton for nic until I researched and made a pest out of myself for answers. Now, 3 ml a day is great.. on off days, I can go up to 4 or 5 ml if I'm loving some sort of a dessert.

I wish I had heard of this years ago. Sorry for the OT.
