Sensible Stock Levels

[Eddie.Willers]

Folks
Being that I can only get to acquire new supplies every 2-3 months (due to various logistical issues), how much should I be keeping on hand?

I will be collecting a new eGo kit - so that's 2 batteries and 2 attys - with a pack of 5 refillable cartomizers and a pack of 5 blank regular carts and two 10mL bottles of juice. I used to smoke 5-10 analogues a day so even allowing for the PV's novelty value to increase initial consumption, what should I lay in for three months of vaping?

All replies helpful! Thanks.

I'd keep at least a couple of extra batt's, charger, 5 atty's or so, and a few 5 packs of carto's. I'd skip the cart's and get a couple of drip tips, but that's my preference. As far as juice, I use around 3ml/day but YMMV. I'd stock at least 200ml with several different flavors so I don't get burned out and be stuck with just one that I can't stand anymore. I'd probably bring another complete system just in case, yeah I'm a bit paranoid but I don't want to go back to smoking.

Based on typical day useage 10ml=9-12 days, 30ml=28-34 days. I used this as a guide when I made my first order, and then order extra just in case. Would rather order on the high side than get caught without. Oh and welcome to ecf, and congrates on making the switch.

Better to have extra than to get caught without supplies and no way to replenish.
I was smoking a pack a day. Based on my daily vaping I would double or even triple the juice and double the attys. I have been vaping daily with two 510s(one with a long life battery), one two-piece, and a Ego-T with the long battery. Don't forget some alcohol to clean everything. I'm on my second atty for the ego-t and have vaped at least 40 ml of juice of various flavors (counting most of my empty bottles). Oh, i still have another 510 and a 2 piece as back ups.

How long have you been vapin?

I have complete charging systems at home and at work (4-port 2amp USB to AC, full of various ecig battery cables). I have emergency PT at home and work. I have 4 PVs, and other than the Riva which is new I have at least 3 batteries for each. I have spare attys, drip tips, more than 3 boxes of cartos for each. I have some DIY supplies. Juices - yeah I guess about 200ml of assorted flavors. It would be more but I've dropped my nicotine twice so I haven't been buying this level very long. PCCs - I have one for every slim cig I own. Cartridges - very few. I am still using the first cartridge of my first PV and restuffed it w/ blue foam a couple of times.


The one thing I am missing is some kind of generator or car battery or something in case of extended power outage!

Hello and welcome to ecf.
I know all these post sounds like over-kill but for some, it's the fear of running out and others it's fun to try new things.
Keep in mind that the nic is absorbed differently than with an analog. It is generally excepted that we get anywhere from 10-40% of the same nic that we used to get with analogs. This is due to 2 things. 1. The way our bodies absorb the nic with ejuice is through the linings of the mouth and nose and throat....analogs--you absorb the nic in the lungs.
2. The nic in ejuice is just that ....it is in the juice.....think of it like this...
analog----to coin another poster.......is like taking a shot of whiskey.
ecig --- like drinking a beer.
Hope this helps and good luck.

Thanks SaS - that's the best analogy I have seen here - beer vs. liquor

You are welcome Eddie.....I really can't take credit for this tho....as I said in the post....to coin another poster...Can't remember the members name, but it stuck with me also.

Close to 45 days and I'm a vapin' machine. At the swap meet where one of my suppliers has a booth (Misty Mountain Vapor in Raleigh NC) observed me vaping a sample and said I would go through the Ego-t low res atty in about 2 1/2 weeks. He was very close. I spend a lot of time in front of a computer at work (vaping away) and like others have a charger at work -just in case. Appears that muleygirl's post is accurate "10ml = 9-12 days" I guess I'm not so heavy of a vapor - just can't get enough though - Off to the swap meet...

I used to smoke somewhere between 3 and 10 cigarettes per day, with 5 being about the average.
I go through a little less than 1ml per day, but your mileage may vary.

As for atomizers, you never know, but I'm going to say that you should have three atomizers on hand right now.
And if all goes well, you'll still have three atomizers at the end of three months.

As for batteries, you should have two.
Well, unless they are automatics, which I doubt.

But if they are automatics, then you should have three for now.
As time goes on you'll figure it all out.
