I am vaping around 5 - 7 ml a day, unflavoured e-liquid, just NIC (4mg/ml), VG and DW (ratio around 80VG/20DW), just M2L method and above 1 Ohm coil, Kanthal wire, maximum 16 Watts.

Is this too much? How much is too much? 3ml/day? 5ml/day? 10ml/day? 30ml/day? What is your opinion.

I stopped smoking tobacco cigarettes 6 months ago with vaping, not even one cigarette smoked since then (before around 1,5 pack/day, West Silver). I reduced the nicotine from 24mg/ml to 4mg/ml but always vaped 5 - 7 ml (+-1ml) a day.

There's no such thing as too much. As long as it's keeping you off traditional cigarettes & making YOU happy, that's all that matters. Since all of us are different, each reply is based on individual use. I don't try to figure out how many ml's a day I'm vaping. I dont care; I'm not smoking. :banana:

Since we are all difffent, AND equipment is all different, any vaper could actually personalize this question by doing what people testing for a food allergy would do........they keep a journal of how they feel, in this case, it would be at different nic levels or different amounts of ml per day.

I actually get kinda de-energized if I vape too much. Always had that affect on ME. Also, whenever I dropped my nic level, i had less desire to vape which is why I am pretty much at zero now

Again, if you want to know the answer to something, you can find it with a certain amount of dilligence.

There was also the budget conscious side of me, I mean, I really did not WANT to vape a lot since I am cheap like that :lol: before I was DIYing I just didn't want to put out the cash for all that ejuice

I vape from the time i get up and throughout the day when i have time. These days i'm vaping about 14 hours a day. I used to smoke about the same as you rokyo87, 30 a day. I'm vaping about 5ml of 24mg juice every waking 24 hours. I calculated that i was using about 1.7 cubic mm of 24mg juice for each cigarette i would have smoked. But i miss calculated this because i wasn't vaping as much a day as i thought i was. After a few days of writing down what time and day i was refilling i worked out that i actually only vape 3ml each day. Which means that 1 cubic mm of 24mg juice equals 1 cigarette (for me it does anyway). I base this on how many cigarettes i used to smoke per day combined with how much vaping is needed to prevent me from smoking, including how many mg's of nicotine is also needed.

I use a low powered tube mod and a MTL tank, tight draws, 32awg, 5 wraps, 1.7ohm coil at 3.7v.

I am thinking I am vaping too much. Recently I switched from MTL to direct to lung vaping (just at 9W) and my juice consumption went from 5 ml to 10-12 ml. I am trying to address the situation (by not inhaling vapor at all during chain vaping). I am thinking 12 ml is too much, other people are thinking 30 ml is not enough. There are no hard data which can tell us what is too much (or even if there is such thing as too much), so the limit is set by our beliefs, not by science. As others already have said, the main thing is that any vaping style is much better than smoking anyway.

Vaping is much better than smoking, true.

The thing is, it's still only "harm reduction".

You are right about belief systems ruling because we don't have enough science yet.

My belief system is that putting 5ml of vapor thru your lungs daily is very different than putting 30ml thru.

Don't forget there is a vast number of "filtering systems" in the human body.......kidneys, liver, lungs, throats, not to mention the entire lymphatic system.....etc........all have to filter everything that we put in. JMHO. I prefer not to overload mine.

There are people vaping 30 ml a day.

If you think you are vaping too much yoy can up your nicotine level so you don't need to hit it so often.

But in your situation i wouldnt worry about it.

If you feel like you're going through too much liquid, up your nic. The only time i felt i vaped too much was when i wasn't getting the hit i wanted and kept hoping the next hit would do it. Now im at 16mg on a dripper. Some people think im crazy (eventhough i know people on 25+), but hey, it keeps me off cigs and i feel great. I go through 10ml in about 5 days.

I vape more now than I smoked. Likely due to the fact I don't have to go outside my house now. My wife says I vape too much. Still, I do about 30 mL every 5 days. I may take a drag or 2 every few minutes, rather than spend a 5 minute session line you do with a smoke. I suppose, I just consume in smaller amounts over a long period, rather than longer sessions.
