I figured that would be a problem, I liked switching between flavors though :( I'm actually charging one of them even though it's not dead yet. And wow, 10ml/day? Between the two of them I've vaped probably about 1ml since i bought them yesterday afternoon, but last night I did some analogues because some friends and I were having some drinks so we'll see how much i actually end up vaping when I am strictly vaping. I was worried I was vaping too much, now I know not to worry :)

It's ok to smoke when you start vaping. When I started this I just wanted to cut down on my habit. Over time I just didn't desire cigarettes. I've been vaping and lurking here for a few years but it will be a year with no cigs next month. Woo Hoo Now all you need to do is find that awesome all day go to flavor and your set.

I run about 50 ml through any given coil before rebuilding it--about 5 days of total use in my case. You may find you're more or less sensitive to coil changes as they age and choose to replace them more or less often than I do.

That is a ton of juice. What nic lvl? You must be dripping. I go maybe as high as 4ml of 12mg a day but usually 2.5 to 3.5 ml.

I'll miss Lehigh Valley now that they moved the Eagles practices. :(

My first vaping setup was a Blu Starter Kit, at their strongest nicotine level of 14.5mg/mL (they call it "13-16mg"). BLEH! Even before I had compared it to any other e-liquid, it was still BLEH! Anyway, the first pre-filled carto I used lasted almost 2 days. Being about the same length but considerably skinnier than my Halo G6 cartos, the Blu cartos surely hold less than 1mL (maybe 0.8mL?), which meant I started off vaping less than 0.5mL per day. And that was coming off 1.5 packs of analogs per day. I still smoked occasionally while using the Blu kit. And I did increase the amount of e-juice I was going through per day. The five Blu starter pack cartos lasted me about 8 days if I recall.

When I began vaping my (much more satisfying) Halo G6 kit, I started a "carto log" on an Excel spreadsheet. Based on the number of times I refilled the cartos over the last 40 days, I calculate that I'm using just under 2.0mL per day. I'm not going to keep using the log; I was just curious about how much e-liquid I was consuming.

So I went from under 0.5mL/day to almost 2.0mL/day. I don't know if I'll ever vape as much as MorpheusPA, but it's definitely nice to know I have a bit of headroom to "grow into". (Especially since I'll keep claiming newbie status here for a couple more months.) :p

5 mg/ml right now, and I'm dropping that slowly. I don't drip, I don't have that much patience, I just use a Kanger T3.

Today I managed to drain two 1,300 mAh batteries, but I was catching up on Game of Thrones. Between the Red Wedding and season finale, I vaped a lot!
 
I've heard of guys using that range but only drippers, low ohm attys, mech users. Clouds of vapor but low nic or no nic

Sorry, no, but one can manage. Mr. Vape is always in Mr. Mouth, actually. And I rebuild my Kanger T3 bases to 2.0 to 2.2 ohms.

Kangers do chew liquid, though.

Love Game of Thrones. You do vape allot but nothing wrong with that.

I just did the math ... 2600mAh would take over 9 charges on my G6 batteries. :ohmy:

(I go through just over 2 charges a day with my little 280mAh batteries.)

I go through 1 18650 2000mah battery a day. I'm running a 1.3 ohm single coil at 8 watts. Yeah I know wimpy. I do mix in a ego with pt-2 for tank cracker juice.
