i got an ipad several months ago and didn't really see the need for it (it was a gift). i didn't use it that much, but i started vaping and quit smoking, and every since i have been 'going to bed' earlier, meaning i get in bed and use my ipad and chain vape. i have noticed i really enjoy these forums as the people are nice and helpful, and there is a lot of good info here, and every time im on the forum i vape.
Too much vaping?

I vape non stop too. From the moment i'm on my way to work all the way to laying in bed before i go to sleep.
I vaped non-stop for the first 3 weeks. Now I can go an hour or so without it and not panic.
Like others on this thread, I too have wondered if my vaping frequency had actually outpaced my past smoking frequency. So I sat and thought about that while I was taking a few toots. 
The way I see it it's like this, with an analog cig I had a limited amount of time to consume a limited resource (analog cig). One cig would last 18-20 puffs X 30 cigs a day = 600 puffs per day. Presently, because I am retired, my rig has become an extension of my body when I am home and it seemed that I was vaping a lot more than I was smoking, BUT, after being conscious of this dilemma I made a point of being more observant one day and I discovered this, like many others, I take 2-3 toots and I put my rig down to do whatever it is I am doing. There is no sense of urgency worrying that my rig is burning down to the filter. So I am more relaxed and not trying to get "every penny's worth" out of that limited resource. So unlike smoking roughly 2-3 cigs in an hour (40-60 puffs) I find that I am hitting my rig maybe 24-30 times an hour and getting more satisfaction and less harmful effects.
I hope that made sense.

interesting thread.
i'm still at the point where i don't care how muck i'm vaping as long as i'm not smoking.
i'm at 2.11ml a day lol
i've monitored it and hearing how some folks are polishing off over 6ml a day i feel like a lightweight.
my second order of juice is a 18mg allotment. i figure once that and the 24 mg i intially bought are gone i'll look into a lower nic.
(but we'll see)

Vaping becomes more natural in time. I was a chainsmoker, so I can't really say I vape more than I smoked. I vape a lot, but I probably use it a little bit less than cigarettes. It does get its own rhythm after a while. You get used to not having a finite smoking experience like with a cigarette. You will start to put it down for 30 minutes here and there, or take a few puffs and find your nic craving satisfied, and you won't have to think about it.
A lot of people start with high nic. If it weren't for 24+ mg liquid, I wouldn't have transitioned so successfully.
No one has had a nicotine poisoning death due to vaping. Like you said, no ill effects means you don't need to worry about it. It's pretty obvious when you get a headache and feel dizzy that you need to set your PV down.
Agree that whatever is doing the job to keep you off the analogs is the right amount.
I found that the device you use can greatly influence how many ml you vape a day to get the same effect.
When I started, I was at around 2.5ml of 24mg a day (chaining through cravings). Then I dropped it to 18mg so I could chain vape more without getting too much nic as I really enjoyed vaping and got up to 3.5 ml a day.
Over time, the amount I used got down to 2ml, then 1ml a day. This was all on a carto tank system. How I miss when one 30ml bottle lasted a month.
Then I switched to dripping for a while and found I'd eat through 2-4 ml a day, but I was vaping at a higher wattage.
On my genesis devices, I find I can easily burn through 4-6ml a day, yet I am vaping less often than when I dripped. Probably has to do with each vape consumes more juice given the efficiency of the rba to change it to vapor and the wattage I'm running at (12-14).
Just some more food for thought.
Hi. I started on 24mg e-juice 3 months ago and I was doing ok. Not vaping too much.
But then this past month I lowered to 18mg and I swear I just can't get enough. But I was also having problems with my clearomizer and have ordered a dual core non-thread U-DCT tank and I'm going to see how that works out before deciding if I should go back to 24mg e-juice again.
Think about it,if your usual analog had a rating of 24mg per serving(for lack of any word at this point!)(prolly per cigarette) you would need to vape a whole 1ml of juice (same24mg strenght) to equal it,yes?
So lets say you could pump in that analog in 10 minutes in one of those numerous non-authorized breaks (hehe) then to get the same style of effect and all you'd also need to vape that 1ml in roughly the same time right?
...but you dont!
It probably takes up to 1hr to vape that 1ml (unless you have a crappy atty that burns more juice then vaporize it,they are legions out there).
So in retrospective,do you still think you are overvaping?
If I vape 10 to 15ml of juice/week (I am not sure I even vape that,viva la svoemesto) it equals to the content in nic only of half a pack,per week!(1 pack/day smoker average)
wOOt I'd say! 14 times less nic goes into me a week!
I am NOT an addict!Just a recreational nic user.

I can't even answer the door without my Mod... I'LL Be RIGHT THERE....

Usually I carry two Large Battery Mods with me, one fruit favor (Peach or Sugar Frosted Pomegranate Green Tea or something) & the other tank with a tobacco flavor of some kind ( Tenn. Bean Curd or Boba's Bounty or something) & then I got my eGo on a lanyard & then buried somewhere is an emergency un-used deposable Blu...
I got problems, Big Problems... I wonder what Lou (I mean, Phil) would think?
OK.. I admit it... I have a few more tanks ready to screw on in my left pocket too... But one things for sure.. I AIN't carrying a Zippo.
