How much juice should I be going through?

[linnytes]

Hi all, still have not went back to analogs since i started vaping last Tuesday! yeah... But here's a question that really concerns me because I am thinking im using too much nic juice. I have 10 ml bottle and have used roughly around 1/4th of it in 3 days... does that seem excessive or not? It's the 18 mg if that helps. Oh and I top off my cartridge 3 or 4 drops every few hours or so... not sure if that is right either but let me know either way. Thanks everyone

Good question. After more than a month of vaping (and no 'occasional' analogs now for over a week), I'm still feeling my way with the 'how much is enough' question. Vaping is so pleasurable (much more so than analogs IMO) that I'm wary of over doing it. Especially on days off, when I have unlimited access to my computer and a usb passthrough, I tend to indulge way more than I might have with analogs (especially since I never smoked in my home).

It's hard to tell how much nicotine we're absorbing. It depends on the nic strength of the juice, for sure, but I think other factors are involved as well. I've heard that (given the same nicotine content) less nicotine is absorbed through vaping than through analogs.

The bottom line, I think, is that you really have to pay attention to your own body. If you start getting TOO buzzed, lightheaded, foggy, etc, then you need to either taper off or switch to low (or zero) nic juice for a while. I keep a bottle of low nicotine juice with me at all times. I have a bottle of pure PG and will be looking into ways to cut my juice further because sometimes, even the low juice feels like it's too much.

Anyway, I think it's an excellent topic for discussion and I'd be interested in hearing from others. How did you figure out your set point and did you also have concerns about vaping too much?

I use about 1.5 to 2.5 ml a day.

I vape at around 18-24mg and go through approx 3ml a day
24 at the start of the day and if I feel Im getting too much nic Ill taper off to 18.
So I go through around 90ml a month.
I usually buy unflavored 48mg liquid in the largest amounts I can get and then cut it down with VG and flavoring to hit my 18-24mg vaping mix

I average 30 ml a week. I use 36mg. It just depends whatever it takes to keep you off of cigarettes.

Hello lynn
You should be using as much or as little as works for you. An average of 2ml a day is an oft referred to number 'round here. Of course this varies widely from one user to the next, all depends on what you need.

I personally averaged 2 to 3ml a day of 36mg during the week, upwards of 4ml during the weekends. Since augmenting with snus my liquid usage has dropped to roughly half of that.

Find what your comfortable with and stock accordingly.

i am what i call a "Heavy Vaper" and i go through about 8ml a day! it dont help that my SB is a juice hog at 6V!!!!8-o

 

[linnytes]

thanks for those replies really I guess I might have been worrying over nothing. It really helps to see how much everyone uses and I guess we're all so different. I was smoking almost 2 packs a day of lights while on analogs. Since I got my e cig in the mail haven't touched em since

 

[cassavetes]

About 3 ml's if I'm filling carts etc. Probably around 6-7 ml's if I'm dripping.

 

[linnytes]

Hey cass is that in a day? and I guess it would have helped if I'd let you all know that I'm using a 901 mini.

 

[AshHole]

I started at 4 ml a day of 24mg. I now use around 2 ml.

When I use some brands I use more, and others I use less. Example Nhalers HV 12mg juices, I use about 2 ml a day ... but Dekang 24mg I use about 4ml. I know it makes no sense... but thats the way it is.

Ditto. And like yourself, I quite analogs at 11:30 Wednesday after taking my very first vape and haven't touched them since.

Good luck!

I vape all day because I enjoy the act/flavor and use about 3-5mls of 12mg liquid.

I started with 24mg for mornings and then 18mg all day. Now it is 18mg for mornings and 12mg all day.

I see no reason not to vape as much as I want as long as I do not touch analogs.

On a serious note though, everyone is different and you have to figure out what is right for you. It took me 2 weeks to completely give up analogs plus find the right "groove" with my e cig.

 

[Overlord]

Im about the same as most. Roughly 2ml per day of 18-24mg.

I do find that the the stronger juice does help me cut down on volume. I have found that I can get that "ugh, im done vaping for now" feeling if I go at 24mg for too long.

If im in the mood to just vape for flavor and not for nicotine, I have been just dripping pure PG in the atty which mixes with leftover juice so its got some flavor. A few gaming nights, I realized I went hours without nic and didn't even notice it.

That's odd. I use less when I drip as opposed to carts.

3 mls with carts, 2 mls with dripping.

 

[Deschain]

I'm averaging around 15ml a week...so around 2ml a day or there abouts.

Maxwell...8ml per day...thats SICK!!

Thanks for the PG-drip tip. I just got a bottle of pure PG and started dripping that on the atty of my 901 pass-through. It really helps when it's clear I've had enough for a while and need to either stop (too hard sometimes!) or vape something without nicotine.

I chain vape a few 510 manuals with a 36mg vg mix and use a full cart capped with the blue fluval and go through about 30ml a week. It's still more pleasing and cheaper than the camel wide analogs I used to smoke.

I use 3ml a day I fill the little 3ml bottle up every day with what I want to vape that day and by the end of the day its vapor ... gone .... empty, I dont want to use more than that so its a good way to keep track on how much I vape .. IMO I don't think its to much just depends on how much you were using analogs (cigs) I smoked 2 packs a day 9 months ago and haven't smoked a cig from the time I got my first e-cig
