So I have a dumb question.. just cause i’m a sorry some person .. so I saw an article a while ago stating vaping is better than smoking .. but , it said depending on how many times you hit it daily , measures the amount of chemical exposure . So if hit your mod 500-600 times a day how much worse is it than 200? Just curious cause I hit mine 300-400 times a day

If it keeps you smoke free - hit it as much as you need. I wouldn't be worrying.
Puff count is so hard to measure - some people take long drags, some short drags.

You hear the lies and misconceptions every day. How about some truth to fight back?

If you're using vaping to stop smoking then no matter how much you vape to get off cigarettes is safer than smoking. After you've got some distance from smoking and want to bring down your daily vape amount (best figured in hoe much juice you vape per day, not puff count) you can deal with it then. For now it's not worth your time to even focus on. Good luck!
I would say almost 3x's. Yes I agree that vaping, no matter how much is still much safer then smoking simply because of the numerous dangerous chemicals in cigarettes, so vape and don't worry about it, but vaping is still not as safe as not vaping, so the closer you get to not vaping at all, is the healthiest.

The number of puffs doesn't really matter as long as you stay off analog cigarettes and not accidentally intoxicate yourself with too much nicotine.
The more important thing is not vaping on burnt coils or getting dry hits (this is really bad for your health), that can happen without the user noticing especially if you drink alcohol while vaping.

Don't believe anything you read about vaping outside of ECF, the general and social media is awash with lies and misinformation. There is a global conspiracy to slander/destroy vaping because it is a direct threat to big tobacco and pharmaceutical companies. Also to a lesser degree some smokers want to believe that vaping doesn't offer an alternative for reasons I can't quite understand.
The reason is quite simple. If they convince themselves that they don't have an alternative, they won't feel guilty for not trying it.
After I finally figured out MTL sub-Ω is what works best to replicate his cigarette my roommate's excuse was the batteries and coils and liquids was too much of a hassle.
He has NEVER charged a battery, put liquid in anything or did anything with a coil.
That's not that long when you break it down, @BaditudeGads!! When do you have time to do anything else?
I take a three second pull when I vape. Times that three seconds by three hundred hits and it only equates to fifteen minutes per day. Four hundred would be twenty minutes. Out of a 16-18 hour day, it's not that long.

I've given up for 41 days and according to my Mod have had 6560 puffs so that equates to 160 puffs per day. That's with 18mg/ml nic on a 0.16 ohm mesh coil. Not all the puffs are the same length.
I kind of can't believe no one has mentioned uff the Magic Dragon yet. Hehe.
As far as puffs, no idea and if any of my mods have puff counters even I have not paid attention to them.
Also since everyone's puffs are different it strikes me as a bit of a futile exercise, rather like counting your steps in day (although, that's just me, some folks LOVE this type of info).
But generally, vaping is safer than smoking by a fair bit, so like, man, it really you'd have to do some serious puffing including no sleep time to do some damage, and said damage would probably mainly come from lack of sleep.
Just remember, vaping is safer, if the puff counter is helping you, great, if it's getting you all OCD about vaping, maybe a stressor you don't need. I for SURE don't need it and here I am untallied puffs every moment of the day and I am still breathing and etc.

I did not try vaping until someone told me what is in the juice. I’m rather skeptical of new things. And old school in the sense that I think, how can vitamins be better than real food? My reluctance was due to the idea that it was some mystery chemical soup in e cigs, and I wanted to wait and see what the results were for other people first.
In my experience, once I tell a smoker what’s in the juice I make, they’re much more open to the concept. None of them has said to me they doubt it would work. But they are all as uninformed about the liquid as I was.
At least when I started vaping there wasn’t so much propaganda against it. Smokers now are going to have a lot more misinformation to wade through.
Been vaping over 7 years and from the start, without any knowledge at all about eliquids, always thought it had to be way better then smoking just because there was no combustion and because I knew that cigs had crazy amounts of chemicals. Not once did I ever think that vaping could be as or more dangerous then smoking. Maybe I was naive about it in a way, but at least it made me go right into it with hesitation

I sent out a text to all the remaining smokers I know to count how many puffs they have on a cig before they stub it out. Asked them to count over at least 10cigs before they texted me back the results.
Only one of them smoked tailor mades, the others smoked RYO.
Average amount of puffs from one cigarette for all of the RYO smokers was 13. The premade guy got about 8-10. I discounted his puff count because tailor mades werent something I ever bothered with.
The heaviest RYO smoker smoked 29(av) cigs a day and her puff count came in right on average. She puffed 377 puffs a day, 13x29.
Out of the 9 RYO smokers the average amount of cigs smoked a day was 18.7(reoccurring) or 244 puffs a day. I know some rolled fat cigs and some rolled racehorses. I know some stubbed out 3/4 ay though and some smoked right down to the filter. Some didnt use filters.
I set my puff counter every day for a week using 9mg juice and puffed between 300-400 times a day at about 2.5 seconds per puff. About 15minutes a day I spent vaping. It sometimes seems like Im just puffing away all day, but Im not! Good to know.
In that week I used just under 30ml of 9mg juice, 4.28ml a day. About 34.3mg of nic was inhaled each day and I guess a fair whack of that was also exhaled.
As a smoker in my final year of smoking I smoked 10-12 RYO cigs a day, 156 puffs a day. I only ever smoked out side even at places where smoking inside was acceptable. I vape inside the house, in the car but dont vape in the garden when Im working in it or enjoying it, some plants dont like even a whiff of nicotine. I never smoked in the garden or touched plants without washing my hands first after smoking.
I think because vaping is less offensive smelling(flavourless) I tend to vape in places I wouldnt think of smoking in and therefore my vape puff count is much higher than my tobacco puff count.
I dont think Im getting as much nicotine despite the higher puff count. It doesnt seem to matter though, I can vape 3mg up to 9mg and vape the same amount of liquid daily. Its only when I get to 12mg that my puff count and the amount of liquid I use goes down. From 12mg to 18mg there is a dramatic tapering down of the amount of juice I use. At 12mg I vape 3ml a day and at 18mg I use 1.5ml a day. Vaping 18mg messes me up after a day or two. I want to puff but I cant take it and feel good. My physical hand to mouth, mtl, staying busy habit is much stronger than my nic habit.
At the end of it all, none of the above really matters. The improved health is incredibly obvious and was even after 3weeks, and changes in my ways of thinking and approach to different situations is what stands out to me.
I think thats all that matters. Tobacco use masked so much and for so long, I didnt realise how much it shaped my life. Its nice to step out from its shackles and have a look around and feel things differently.
Sorry for the word salad.
