Welcome to ECF :) I cant say how much you will use, but for me i use 24mg nic juice and i guess i vape 3-5 ml of juice a day if im home and not doing anything, but if im working i only use about 2-3 ml of juice. Just be sure to order new juice well before your close to empty, you dont want to get in to a situation that causes you to have an excuse to light up again. Good Luck and stick with it!

Hi! Another factor in how much juice you use is your sense of taste. I smoked for 40 years and my taste buds were pretty trashed. I was very excited to try all of the flavors of juice people raved about, only to be disappointed when I couldn't taste anything or it tasted like plastic. I would fill-up a cartrdge, clearo, whatever, taste it and end up pouring it down the sink. Luckily, I was a menthol smoker and found an extremely strong menthol/mint/cinnamon combo I could "taste" (I'm still not sure if I tasted it or if I was just feeling the coolness). It took about 2 months before I could taste other flavors and I still can't taste many of the subtle ones.

There was an upside though: I ended up learning how to drip, so I could try juices without too much waste (an LR306 atty with a Cannon drip tip is brilliant, by the way); and I learned about polypropylene and glass carto tanks, because the one vape I could taste melted clearos and vivi novas. That has turned out to be my favorite configuration.

Hi Ocelot, 40 years for me also. I also like menthol, and if i don't like a juice, i just add menthol.....haven't had to throw anything away by doing that.

Hi Mark, welcome to ECF!

How much juice you go through depends on a few factors. Like what is stated above in regards to if you are busy doing other things, less juice. Sitting around, more juice. What the juice goes into also plays a role in how much you use. When I used cartridges, I would use less juice. Since switching to a variable voltage device and the Vision Vivi Nova I go through more juice.

I would say plan for 5ml per day, which is an average amount. If you go through less, great. If you go through more....next time you will have a better idea of what you need. Keep track of what you are using about per day then you can get a general idea of what you need to order to stay ahead.

The problem lies in not being able to run to a local place and pick up what you need at any given moment. Maybe someday, but not in yet.

Good luck! :)

Have you tried "Koolada" (it's also called "Cool Hit" by some vendors)? It's hard to describe, but it adds coolness without added the menthol taste. You can get it plain from TPA or with nicotine from ECBlend (and probably other vendors). I have saved a lot of juices I wasn't too keen on by adding it. The "Cold Fusion" customized flavor from ECBlend is fun to play with. You can get it with extreme cool & menthol.

I just ordered some juice from Rawr last night. I haven't ordered from him before, but read he's been described as "The Menthol Master." Oops! Sorry for hijacking the thread.

I would recommend that you go for small sample bottles first before you get the big ones till you find something you like. I too bought stuff that others really liked only to find my taste buds didn't agree! Some vendors will sell 5 or so packs of small sample bottles so you can try various flavors. Happy vaping!! Your gonna love it - I smoked for 42 years - I love vaping and don't miss the analogs a bit!!

Hey Mapex,

Welcome to ECF. I think most people use around 5 ml of juice a day. I would say order more juice to have a little supply on hand. Then when you get your vape stuff, start vaping as much as you want and keep track what you use in 7 days then you will know what you need. But, it is a good rule of thumb to have a little supply just in case order takes longer to get or lost in mail or something stupid like that and your not caught without juice. I hope this helps some for you. Happy Holidays to you and Happy Vaping

Welcome to ECF and congratulations on your decision to quit. I have been cigarette free for 10days now :) ..... Never started vaping thinking I would quit, just thought I would cut down and eventually quit. Don't get discouraged with flavors and different set ups, it takes time. I am still trying myself to find what is right.

Again congrats!

I totally agree! Samples were the way to go for me. It actually introduced me to some flavors that I NEVER thought I would try.
Congratulations with giving up the cigs, and welcome to vaping! :)
