Is this normal? I am constantly vaping off my Riva 900mah and just ordered an Ego Twist 650mah. I noticed that I am going through about 2.5 to 3 cartos full of liquid a day now and have been vaping almost a week. Is this about right? How much do you think this equals in analogs? Am I vaping more that I smoked? Maybe this is just temporary since I'm still new to getting off analogs, do you think? I've ordered a smoktech dct 3.5 ml and a couple of stardust clearomizers. Right now I"m using boge 510 LR.

Could we ask how much you smoked, please?

For me, 3 cartos (the regular size, which are 35mm / 1 3/8ths" long) are equivalent to about 20 cigarettes. I get about 6 or 7 cigarettes-worth from one. It's also easy to work out by the liquid consumed, as a carto holds about 22 drops or 1ml, and most people reckon a cigarette is about 3 or 4 drops of liquid. You're using about 2.8ml a day, which is about par for the course.

There are a lot of things this all depends on such as getting the right nicotine strength and so on, but if you smoked a pack a day then 3 cartos is pretty much normal. If you smoked a lot less than that, it might mean you need to raise the nic strength a bit, so you vape less. On the other hand there is probably very little harm in vaping your head off, to be honest, unless you are in one of the rare categories of people who might need to ask doctor's advice on this - COPD, cardiac issues or whatever.

You are probably using e-liquid to refill with? If not, you soon will be, with your new cartos/clearos. You'll maybe then get a clearer idea of how much liquid, of what strength, you are using. An average is 2.5 - 3ml a day, fairly close to what you are probably doing now. Very light vapers can use 1ml a day, and some ex-60 a day smokers are on 8 to 10ml a day.

Now that's going some :)

I'm using about 4 ml's of juice a day. So, a regular sized carto = about 0.8 mls or so. You're still WAY lower than I am. I don't even bother with regular cartos anymore unless I'm sampling. They won't last long for me. I use 5 Phiniac tanks in rotation and keep them filled to the brim. :)

thats normal....hell i go through about 15 mls a day. luckily i diy or else it would cost me a fortune in juice

15 ml??????????? Heck, I thought I was bad! LOL! And I chain vape, too. How do you manage to burn up that much juice in one day????? Most I've managed is about 5 ml on boring weekend days like today. Hubby at work, I'm at home, I vape all day and play on the Computer and browse ECF, which is expensive cuz I always find links to new, shiny stuff.... LOL!
