Since my Ego-t came on Friday, I have gone through close to 10 ml of juice (not counting a small spill). Fortunately I though of this in advance and already have a 50ml sample pack (10ml each of 5 flavors) ordered from BMV, another 24 ml (4 bottles of 6ml each) from Mrs T's, and a 180 ml bottle (could not resist the price of $26...hopefully I like the flavour) also from BMV.

Is 10ml in 2 days normal? I do know that during the same time frame (since I was in bar and drinking environments on 2 of the nights) I likely would have gone through 4-5 packs easy, however have had NONE since starting the ego

another silly question (sorry if anyone finds it offensive....definately not the intent, and if you like feel free to reply through PM rather than on the board if your reply is embarrasing).........anyone have an issue with becoming gassy from vaping? Maybe I just ate something funny or something, but man....I about chaced myself out of the house yesterday. Even the dog looked at me with a face that said "Really??"

yes I think that's normal, may even be a side effect of quitting smoking. I admit to having this also in the beginning.

in terms of your juice.. yeah I'm sure you'll go through more in the beginning but yeah it doesn't matter how much you go through honestly. I vape like a steam engine ;)

Thanks for the input. I guess I was going by where someone told me that 30ml lasted them a month and that I could expect the same. Not overly worried about that.....just hoping my next order arrives before I run out. Worst case though, there is a guy who sells ego's locally so I can just grab a quick fix from him until the order arrives.

thanks for the reply also funtobefemale. Good to know I am not the only one :)

As long as you're comfortable with the 5mL/day, it's all good :) I've actually noticed that the watermelon flavor I have, 2-ish mL will last me all day in one mega cart, but the strawberry flavor I have, the same amount only lasts me about an hour... Which I find odd, considering how it's the same mix from the same company.
As for being gassy, yeah it's a side-effect of stopping smoking... It's how I realized that as I've gotten older, the "silent" part of "silent but deadly" no longer holds true... :)

As to normal, yes.

As to internally generated 'perfumes', I've notice no change, other than now I can locate where I've been!

Sounds pretty normal to me. I go through about 3-4ml a day, but there are many who do 4, 5, even 7-8ml a day. Keep in mind a few factors though:

1. The initial novelty factor of how awesome vaping is compared to smoking can often make you vape more in the beginning, especially when you're still finding your rhythm. Eventually you'll fall into a more regular routine and have a more accurate gauge of your own vape pace.

2. If your nic strength isn't strong enough, even just by a little, you'll tend to vape more to make up for the extra nicotine your body is still craving. It may not be totally obvious that you're not getting enough but you'll know it if you pay attention to it. You'll feel like it's not totally satisfying you, even if it mostly is. This isn't necessarily the case for you, but it's something to pay attention to, particularly in the early stages.

...yeah, I go through at least 30ml/wk...maybe a bit more...gas, I think is because of how you vape, you "swallow" more vape than you did when you smoked...gas and burping seem to increase...but, don't tell anyone...it's a secret, SHHHHHHH..........

BMV= BlueMistVaping.com...they are running a special on their popular "Blackjack" flavor, a Black and Mild pipe tobacco flav, which had been outta stock for a while now...the special price ends today so, HURRY........

Jack is right about the BMV Blackjack special. I have not recieved anything from them (BMV) yet (waiting on an order from late last week), and I have heard mixed reviews. Initially ordered a sampler pack which I hope is here any day. Saw the Blackjack special yesterday and ordered it. Figure for that amount at that price, it is worth the gamble of liking it.

The trick with Bluemist from my experience is to steep the tobacco flavors. Rob's tobacco flavors are pretty strong and tend to develop over time. A week helps but a month really settles them into their complete flavor. I found the non-tobacco flavors are great right away.

I guess I'm saying try the blackjack early but if you're not happy give it time since you're getting a good sized bottle. Good luck!

... tanks go through liquid faster than most other methods. Also LR often goes through liquid faster than standard resistance, bigger attys faster than small model attys, loose cartos faster vs tightly wrapped cartos.

Of course... that's why the vapor/TH/flavs are normally superior with 'em; physic's law of conservation!

The steeping sounds like my experience with Johnson Creek original, couldn't stand the sampler packs and sent them back for a refund and I ordered some original anyhow thinking there was something wrong with the samplers. I think I let the bottles set open for a month before I tried them again, and they were pretty good.

Blame the gas on the dog, not the vaping
