Hello everyone,

I've been reading ECF for the past week in 'stealth mode' (as a guest).

I'm sure this has probably been asked at some point in the past, but...

As a pack a day analogue smoker, I'm wondering about how long I can expect a 30ml 24mg juice bottle to last me?

I know you wont be able to answer that precisely, but if any of you pack-a-day ex-analogue smokers can give me an idea of how long a 30ml bottle lasts you, maybe I can get an idea of how long I might expect one to last for me.

I just purchased a joye ego starter kit, 2 of them actually, 1 for me and 1 for my wife, and a smattering of 5ml flavors for taste testing (hopefully it doesnt get snagged by FDA :( ).

Wow. I haven't really stopped to think about how long 30ml will last me. I would have to say about a week because I'm a chain vaper and usually go through about 3-4ml per day.

The only way your stuff is going to get snagged by Customs is if you ordered direct from China. That's why I order only from U.S. companies.

You and your wife are going to love the eGo! It's a very nice, easy starting kit.

Welcome to ECF! Let us know how you like vaping!

Hi!

We all vary - some vape more and some less. I found at the very beginning I vaped a bit more for the nicotine needs. (a friend of mine who is a chemist explained to me that vaping doesn't include the ammonia in analogs - ammonia binds nicotine more efficiently). Since then I've averaged about 3-4 ml a day (EXCEPT when I get new flavors in - then it's a vape fest LOL).

For the cost, I would strongly suggest always having 50-60 ml on hand if there are two of you -- and learn about multiple vendors. Some ship quickly, some slowly and this time of year you never know about the weather.

Hope that helps and welcome on your journey! I pray yours is as wonderful as mine has been!

Hi there, and welcome to ECF! Snowing there isn't it? Same here :D Well anyway back to the topic. My boyfriend use to smoke about 1 pack a day as well. This our 10th day vaping, I brought him a 15ml juice to start with. He just finish the juice. But he is also still smoking 5 analogs a day so it might be more if he totally stop. Hope this helps.

A 30ml bottle of juice would last me 15-20 days because I vape 1.5-2ml per day. Some people may vape the same amount as me but use PVs with bigger attys or cartos and go through juice faster. Some people say they use twice as much juice per day or more. My 401 and 901 have (I think) smaller attys than 510 and Ego.

Are two of you going to be vaping off that 30ml bottle? Start looking to order more juice soon. FreedomSmokeUSA is a popular place for juices and you are in luck because their sampler sizes ($2.25) are in 24mg only and fixed PG/VG. Not all of their juices are available as samples but they have several sections of regular juices and almost all are configurable for PG/VG ratio and of course nicotine. Usual discount code is freedomsmokeusa for 10% off. I like 70pg/30vg, 80pg20vg would let through a bit more TH

Oh btw Slanderman where in New York do you live? I live in Brooklyn. I have a bottle 15ml of cappuccino 16mg nic e juice, which i orignally purchase for my boyfriend, but he didn't like it. I didn't like it either, tickles my throat and it wasn't smooth enough for me. If you don't mind and you don't live too far away from me, i can give it to you for free.

i vaped a lot when i first got my ego. i was trying to satisfy something other than nicotine so i just kept vaping. went through 20 mls in the first week. i was a pack a day smoker, and still was sneakin in a smoke until i completely hated the taste. dripping or using carts wastes a lot of juice imo. no matter i would say 3 ml at max for me now. i suggest trying juice out and buying in bulk... myfreedomsmokes.com has some great flavors for really cheap. avejuice.com has good prices for bulk too and taste really good

Depends on how much you waste learning how to fill, refill, refill again carts and cartos. I've overfilled, totally wasted (burned the atty or carto), spilled, etc. about 30 mls in a month. LOL Maybe more.

I'm getting better tho!! Only wasted about 2mls today (overfilled a carto....twice). :)

I also went through a lot of mls (probably 5-6) a day until I figured out what strength worked for me. Plus I was chain vaping for the first 3 weeks. Just recently stopped that. Upped my nic level in the morning, then backed down throughout the day, which kept me from chain vaping incessantly. I still chain vape when I'm sitting at the computer, but I don't carry around my PV (even to the bathroom) anymore. I can put it down, do things, and then come back to it.

I'm at about 3 mls a day now.

I ordered the PVs from a site based out of the UK :( so I'm still kind of worried

I'm in upstate New York, close to Syracuse.


dripping or using carts wastes a lot of juice imo.

Hrm, either its really late and I've forgotten, or I havent seen another way of vaping other than dripping or using carts. what are the other options? I had planned on dripping

Dude, I just saw your username. Send me a message if you can. I think we're related.

I didn't say it because of that. Look, I'm not some kind of crazy internet stalker. I'm a reasonably well-adjusted one. It's just that I'm guessing we have the same last name, and I've never met one that wasn't related. My great-grandfather's name was Ira, from Brown's Valley CA.

Too bad you have messaging turned off - I won't clutter up your thread with this anymore. Happy vaping!
