hey guys so I started two weeks ago with an ibliss subvape and was using one 4ml tank a day. I now upgraded to the cuboid 200w with a crown uwell tank and was running the .25 coil and already used three 4ml tanks. How many tanks do u guys use in average ? I bought it last night and it has 585 puffs on it already? I'm using .6-.3 nicotine it's still healthier then smoking
Cigarettes right? What's a .6 nic 4ml tank equate too in terms of cigarettes?

Think of the times you're not smoking. I used to wake up to smoke a cigarette...a whole cigarette. I used to step outside of a store or restaurant and smoke a cigarette...a whole cigarette. Between airplane flights...yep, another whole cigarette. I'm sure there were lots of times that I stopped to smoke and made sure to finish the whole cigarette.

Now I just take a few puffs and move on.

    When it seemed to me that I was going to be an all day vaper, I knocked my nic level down and went along for the ride. I seem to vape to calm anxiety, which is an all day thing for me, so I believe I'm a hand to mouth person. Some folks do well with upping their nic levels so that they can put it down for longer spells, but I haven't tried that and don't believe it'd work for me.

    I smoked 25 cigs a day. Now I vape 7 ml per day with 10mg nic. My perception is there is more nic in my system than when I was smoking. I'd like to reduce daily nic only so that my stash lasts longer in case of government interference. I'd like to reduce daily ml's just to reduce irritation even though it is slight compared to smoking. I don't want vaping to become a total indulgence with never ending 'vapor creep.' I have been successful holding the line on settings, 400 degrees, 30 max watts. I'd prefer to not go higher.

    Thanks guys. I guess cause I just bought a new device. In the 24 hours I've had it I took693 puffs lol and only used three tanks at .6 nic level so not too bad! I just changed from a .25 coil to .5 and the .5 crackles a bit and pops I'm running between 40-60 watts any tips? Am I not inhaling deep enough? Wasn't having that issue with .25 coil weird!

    Have you tried turning it DOWN? I CAN vape at HIGHER watts but I tend to use lower watts (10 or so) on a regular basis and get decent clouds and good flavor that way...also use a 1 Ohm coil (+/- .2). I probably smoked way more than you (2+ pks/day) before I quit and I only go through about 4 ml per day @ around 6 mg (I do use a higher nic at night about 12mg). Right now I'm vaping at 8 watts on a Kbox Mini, 1.2 ohms and it's doing pretty good! Vaping my own RY4 recipe with a touch of Black Mild and Cherry...

    Hello and welcome. Its totally normal to go through that volume of juice when subohming...As you continue to vape and not smoke you will get in your Groove and this will become second nature, try not to worry about nic or juice consumption this early on your Journey . just focus on finding what works for you and a nic/juice that you enjoy. everything will even out with time. As for me I go through about 10-15 ml a day sometimes as much as 20 if I am home all day @ 3-6mg nic.

    Oh wow yeah I was using the ibliss but wanted to try the next step up. With the cuboid I'm told there isn't a 1.0 coil? I'm running .5 as mentioned and if I run lower watts do you have to take longer hauls or inhale longer off the device ? I find lower watts longer hauls higher watts shorter?

    Yes that's true it does heat faster so shorter draws, but in my case a 3-4 second draw direct to lung works (for me anyway). You can still try a lower setting and see if that works better even at .5 Ohms...just a suggestion. Some like running their Mods wide open. Experimentation is the key. Got to find the sweet spot.

    Yes I was 2 pack a day smoker and now I am completely smoke free. I feel better in all aspects, my taste has increased as well as breathing. Vaping is definitely a much healthier alternative cigarettes. The only side effects to speak of is that I am now all about the vape and always on the hunt for new vape gear lol
