New vaper

[Krex]

I've recently began vaping and acquired a voopoo drag box mod with a prince tfv12 tank. Currently using the 0.4 coil with 3mg juice.

I was wondering if going through a tank (8ml) of this juice a day is too much? I never was a smoker and started vaping mainly for the flavor and clouds (I do enjoy the minor head rush from the nicotine so did not go with 0mg). I typically vape at 70w in the power setting but have been fiddling around with the stainless steel setting aswell.

Welcome @Krex !

I was wondering if going through a tank (8ml) of this juice a day is too much?

You may be asking a pretty loaded question that is sure to produce varying responses! For a former smoker in the process of quitting, no. If you, a never smoker, were using 0 nic, some "no's" amongst the "yes's." As a never smoker with nicotine, probably heavy with "yes" responses.

Probably best if you didn't vape at all or at the least, avoided the nicotine.....minor head rush and all. I am guessing that you are on the younger side, so I get it....peer pressure, fitting in with the crowd. I may be getting up in age, but my memory is still somewhat accurate. If you must, I'd prefer a young person vaping over smoking. Just do your best to leave it at that!

OK! Sermon's over.

ETA: Coils for the Prince tank are kanthal and should only work in power mode, not in Temp Control including SS.

Thank you for the reply. I will definitely stick to the power setting I wasn't aware they were not stainless steel coils.

I'm guessing it's best to avoid the nicotine because of the possibility of developing dependency on it? With that said I do think I will go with a 0mg juice after my current one is finished and see how I like that.

Overall the vaping experience is something I do enjoy so I will most likely not stop vaping. Most of my peers smoke cigarettes and I have never been drawn towards trying them. It was a personal decision and I don't think it's too bad since I have been using herb for years (have a medical card) and the flavor in the vape really helps after using, along with water to deal with the cottonmouth feeling. It is a nice alternative to drinking high sugar drinks like Gatorade or pop since water alone doesn't seem to help remove the taste.

Again thanks for the reply and the info about my coils, don't want to ruin them lol

When I had a drag and the Big Baby Beast it was nothing to refill 2-3 times a day.

One of my squonks has a 12ml bottle. I will refill 3 times a day.

Wouldn't sweat how much you vape, especially since it's all new, and we all like to play with new toys. Cut back if you feel light-headed or other signs of nic od.

As long as you're getting enough nicotine to keep you from smoking and not feeling nauseous from chain vaping you're fine. The amount you're using is not at all unusual.

I go through multiple 8ml bottles per day on my squonker so no not abnormal at all.

I use both 6mg and 3mg and still do about 3-4 bottles a day

Well as a never-smoker I'd say sure, try 0 nic and probably sooner rather than later so that you can objectively evaluate without some sort of dependence. With that said, my kiddo (20) vaped after smoking a while, quit vaping altogether and a few months later asked me to mix him some 0 nic juices (and I had a setup I had won that suited him and his vaping style) as he was getting bored/antsy when friends were around and liked the idea of just vaping 0 nic with his friends to have something to do.

Dependency on nic (even if slight) is likely to be far less of a dependency than cigarettes, so if you substitute 0 nic, probably give it a few days for any w/d (if there is any) to fade (it's really more like giving up coffee, somewhat uncomfortable but not earth shattering) before you decide on some nic vs 0 nic. My son, even as a former smoker, found giving up vaping nic to be far easier than giving up cigarettes.

8 ml for a sub0hm vaper doesn't sound like a huge amount to me. If you are vaping clouds, juice consumption will rise, and that's fairly normal. You may find if you switch to 0 nic it may rise for a bit, then fall, depending on how you react to 0 nic, so be prepared for that possibility.

Since you are already vaping and have friends surrounding you who smoke, I'm not going to provide a big lecture on how you could do other things. 0 nic will reduce your risks from nicotine (there are some, as well as some benefits) but if you've functioned fine without nic, I see no reason to deliberately develop a dependence on it. I will merely point out that vaping (even flavors) probably is less healthful than not vaping at all, but certainly probably less risky than vaping nicotine, and certainly less risky than smoking. So, if this is something you enjoy, making it as safe as possible is a good bet....

Welcome to ECF, finally there is no "drug" talk here, it's one of the site rules.... I didn't know that either when I started, so I usually just mention it. It's not a big deal, unless it becomes like a continuous thing, but take care of those lungs as best you can, and welcome to ECF.

Hello and welcome. I do agree with using 0mg nic. You seem like a reasonable person and I see no reason for you not to vape. Keep in mind you are also developing a hand to mouth habit as well. That for many of us former smokers is harder to break than the nic dependence.
8ml a day is not bad at all considering the gear you're using.

 

[OlderNDirt]

Your additional information does put a dent in any claim not to vape.

It is a nice alternative to drinking high sugar drinks like Gatorade or pop........

Hard to argue with that, nic or no nic!

Welcome and glad you joined.
I see no real harm in using no nic and vaping occasionally.

Hi and welcome. I am a nicotine addict. Do yourself a favor. Don't.
