Juice consumption

[Matt Marshall]

Hey, I've been vaping for about 3 months now and I have been off the analogs for two and a half. I'm slightly worried about the amount of juice I'm consuming. I bought 180ml thinking it would last me the month and I've consumed 100ml in two weeks I'm on 3 mg and a fews bottles are zero nic. Is it normal to be going through juice at this rate?

Not surprising. When I first started, I could go through 7-10 ml a day, easily.

100 mls in 2 weeks is just over 7 mls a day. It really depends on your vaping style. If you're vaping with higher ohms at low wattage then it seems like a lot. But if you're sub-ohming at high watts then not so much. Lots of people here vape 10 mls a day and more.

normal. simple answer is yes and no. depending on your set up and your old smoking habits, you could be too low on nic and that maybe be causing you to consume more juice. your set up could be a juice sucking type. the most important thing is that you ar NOT smoking!
myself, having smoked for 31 years i started off with 12m nic and was about 60/90 mils a month. after a yuear i have a different set up that uses more juice and i lowered my nic to 3 and 0 but i dont care im not smoking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Speaking personally, I am at the other end of the spectrum. I vape 12mg in most atomizers and 6mg in more powerful ones. Never more than 3ml a day.
When I started, I used 24mg for a week (left over from cig-a-likes), then 18mg for about a year. Never more than 2.5ml a day.
BUT, these were the bad old days of low-vapor hardware.
If you are are vaping a lot on powerful kit, you could always increase your nicotine strength. There's no wrong or right, but if you don't want to vape all the time and feel you should try lower your juice consumption, then go up..

Depends on how you are vaping. If you chaining then you will obviously burn through more liquid. But what makes a big difference is what you are vaping at. If you are sub ohming or super sub ohming naturally you are gonna blow through juice like nobody's business. It will drink the juice. Might try upping your nicotine if you are chain vaping to compensate for that nicotine fix. Or try upping your ohms and lowering your wattage to slow the burn.

Yep, all depends upon your setup and whether or not you are still vaping to get through the urges - if you are - you should reduce consumption as they go away.

 

[sucram]

All of these guys are right.

The trend these days is low ohm, high watts and big juice channels.

There are some who still prefer higher ohm, lower watts and dont [edited] about clouds what so ever.

Both have pros and cons, you are seeing one of the cons of low ohm and high watts.

Im a 10mil a day person which for me is still way cheaper than analogs in my state. 30ml e liquid cost me $10 vs 1 pack analogs which i think are over $10 in Massachusetts its been awhile since i bought a pack and those might of lasted me the day. But heres the best part my health is way better than when i was on the stinkies my seasonal allergies are almost non existent these days. If its the cost of e juice theres cheaper options you can diy or buy in bulk i get 180ml for $60. Like the others said run a more juice conserving build which is what i do when i start running low and misjudge my reorder. Try out one hit wonder the muffin man its great stuff for the price.

When I first started vaping I was using a small ego style device with a ce4/ce5 on top and I was going through about 30-40ml a week. As soon as I moved on to drippers and RTA's I found I could go through 10ml a day no problem. As thayamax said above, it all how you enjoy vaping, the gear your using etc.
I started mixing my own DIY e-liquid after a while as a means of reducing costs and with a bit experimentation and practice you can make some reasonably good e-liquid yourself, if this would be of interest, check out the DIY e-liquid thread for good info, recipes and tips

If you're chucking clouds, it's normal ... if you're Tootle Puffing, it seems a bit high.

Either way ... your body will tell you when you've vaped too much.

 

[Matt Marshall]

Im blowing clouds. 0.4 ohm in the subtank mini

 

[dbrandt01]

with the subtank mini I'd say normal. I vape unflavored for this reason since it's cheaper to make.
I go through 100ml in a week honestly it seems

 

[distruzio]

I use between 10 and 20ml a day depending on if im at work. On the workdays i drip 18mg and higher nic on my breaks. On the weekends i drop down to 6mg so i can enjoy those all day sessions.

 

[TaketheRedPill]

subohm atomizers are built intentionally to burn thru eliquid like there's no salestax. When I vape, I use low watts and single coils and I use 1-2mls/day - usually 1 - so that 180ml would last me 6 months or more! Speaking in generalities, tho, it all boils down to a question of whether someone is comfortable tasking their lungs with clearing plus or minus 10ml/day in order to absorb about 20 actual mgs of a 30mg total nic intake, or if they're more comfortable inhaling 1-2ml/day to get the same nic with a 10th to a 5th of the flavoring intake. Some people don't care, some do.
