How often and how much do you vape?

[eko824]

I just started vaping and I'm trying to figure out some sort of rhythm for myself. Using 12 and 14 mg juices and I find myself constantly wanting to vape. Not sure if it's for the nicotine fix or if it's the novelty of it since I'm new. Probably both.

So I'm just trying to get a feel for what's considered "normal". How often do you guys vape and how many pulls do yo do each time? Do you guys have full "sessions" or do you just get a couple of good puffs every so often?

I vape 24 mg. and I vape around 2 ml a day. That's a guess, I don't vape a carto bone dry and don't really keep track.

The average juice that people start with is 18-24 and the average amount is 3-5 ml a day.

Probably more when I first started- a combo of getting off cigs and the novelty. If I vape lower, I vape more and the flavoring make me feel kinda sick. Especially if I haven't eaten.

Like you said, it's probably both. I would only up the nic level if you're getting the urge to smoke, but chain vaping is perfectly acceptable. Your body will tell you when you've had enough, trust me.

I don't really pay that much attention to how often or how much I vape. I usually go through 3-8mls of juice per day. The only reason for the high end is because I'm vaping at 5 or 6V when I'm at home and that's eats up a lot of juice.

So do you just take a puff here and there consistently throughout the day or do you have "sessions" and take several puffs like an analog?

I vaped 3 ml/day for over a half year, KR808D-1 and Riva 510. I jumped to 6 ml/day when I switched to a variable voltage unit (higher power runs through more liquid).

I started with 24 mg, coming off pack a day full strength cigs for decades. Now I use 20 mg. Peole who smoked lights often start with 16 - 18 mg strength. There's variability, one step higher or lower in nic, but 18 and 24 seem to be fairly normal.

Probably a puff here and there. That's what's nice about it to me.

No, it's definitely not like an analog and it takes you a while to find your rhythm with vaping. I just vape away when the mood hits me. Probably more if I didn't lose it all the time. That might be a good thing.

I really wouldn't worry about it at first. Contrary to what a you read it's doubtful that you're going to OD on nicotine vaping. Just get off the cigs, and vaping helps you do that.

I'm not so worried about the nicotine content or how many mL I'm consuming. I'm trying to get a feel for what everyone's routine is like. I'm sure everyone is different but I'm just trying to get an overall picture.

When I first started it was kind of hard to gauge, though I did vape a lot. It took some time to kind of fall into any kind of "rhythm" as such because I kept wanting to treat it like a cigarette, but without visual indicators like how much is "left" or knowing when I'm "done" it was a little disconcerting at first. I probably went through 4-5ml of 18mg juice a day at first, and it was often in 5-10 minute "sessions."

Eventually I learned that what was missing really was the throat hit. For me, that's paramount. If it doesn't have a satisfying punch I end up trying to make up in volume what I miss in intensity. Eventually I bumped up to 24mg, and like that I pretty much hit my stride. Just the right throat hit I needed. Now I vape ad-hoc, just pick up when I feel like it, take a few puffs, and put it down. It's relatively frequent, like every few minutes or so, but no more long sessions, and I actually brought my consumption down to about 3ml a day.

Gotcha. Yea, I'm loving it so far. Charged up my battery and started vaping at around 9:30 last night. Haven't had an analog since!

I vape all day. Using several VV MOD's throughout the day I go through between 8-10mls per day at 12mg/ml. "Normal" is relative but many posters here hit in the 3-5ml range as swedishfish has indicated.

OK, that sounds about like what I've been doing. Thanks for the info.

Just vape whenever you get a need to. I probably grab my PV about once every hour or so and vape away. If you feel yourself still having cravings, then u may need to bump up to 18mg or so, thats what I started at. Ive been using 16 - 18mg depending on who I order from. The main thing is, just keep vaping. Your body will know when its got too much nicotine and you will put the thing down, lol.

 

[marcellus7]

Wait, I take that back since I just noticed myself grabbing my PV again. Maybe its once every 30 min, lol

 

[crashandburn]

Currently vaping 24mg, 3-4ml a day... I don't think I'm normal though :S

 

[Astronomer]

I started with 24mg vaping 2-3 mill a day

Now vaping 8mg and around 2 mil a day

Plan is to move to 0 mg soon

 

[IslanderSue]

I vape 24mg using 2-3ml a day, have noticed increased liquid usage when cutting down to 16-18mg.

I am a chain vaper. At home and at work. I spend nearly every spare minute with my PV that I am not busy.

I vape 24 mg and go through approx 5 mils a day but I also find it hard to judge because I don't let my carts run dry.

My ego-t rarely leaves my mouth... It only gets filled halfway (haven't had leakage that way) w/ 24-36 mg strength juice and I probably refill at least 5x a day. Oh, and I also drip too.

At work the ecigs are on my desk right next to me so I am probably picking one up every minute for a drag or two. 510, KR808D-1, Riva

At home I don't let myself vape all the time. I leave the ecigs in another room with my Kindle, and when I want a vape I go there and vape and read a few pages. BTW nothing better than vaping an electronic cigarette while reading an electronic book. No ashes, no smoke blowing in your eyes, one hand can hold the book until a page needs to be turned.

I only bring my ecigs out by the computer if I will be doing something that takes awhile in World of Warcraft

I think I still use about 2ml per day? Hard to judge. I am topping off 2 cartos with 3 juices and sometimes a 3rd carto.
