Too much?

[Geoffm]

Hi, I was a very heavy smoker up until a week or so ago when I started vaping. I use about 4ml plus of fluid a day, strength between 11mg - 24 mg. Do you think I have gone from heavy smoker to heavy vaper? or is this amount considered the norm? how much do you go through a day?

There is a thread about that somewhere here already - I believe that typical vapers go through 3 - 5 ml per day, so you're right in the ballpark. I do maybe 1.5 ml/d but I'm not fully off the tobacco yet.

 

[XeniaMike]

Yep, that's normal if you're a heavy smoker like I was. I use about 3-4ml's a day as a rule. More on weekends

As long as i dont smoke a cigarette, i don't really care how much liquid i go through.

At 10$ for 30ml, if you use 5ml a day then it is 6 days for $10. If you smoke a pad then you are at $36. So, saving money and your health.

^ I'm right about 3-4mls 10 months in. Keep on rockin bro. If you vape unflavored nic base, it's like $45 per LITER. Pennies a day.

Hello & welcome Geoffm

I was also a very heavy smoker & get through about the same as you.

BTW, make sure you drink plenty of liquid as vaping can make you dehydrated.

 

[Geoffm]

Thanks for the posts guys, and dhughey youre right about the amount of cash Ii'm saving

 

[RoseB]

Hello Geoffm, and welcome. There have been quite a few threads about what is normal. You're right around the average I do believe. Right now I am going through about 7 mL a day. Dropped the nicotine and started going through more juice.

Im of the same opinion. I go through about half of one of the small bottles a day, but I agree. As long as I don't pick up an analog. I'm cool.
Congrats and keep vapin especially when u want a stinky.....
I know I was wanting one earlier.
I just vaped like no tomorrow,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I am new to the vaping world and after research so far, I want to try the Vapor King eTank Ultimate starter kit. But according to their estimates, 1cartridge ($7.96ea)=10-12 cigarettes and 1-10ml liquid ($7.99ea)=1carton of cigarettes. In doing the math, with me being about 1 to 1-1/2 packs a day (roughly 4 cartons each month), then I would need a total of 80 cartridges and 4-10ml eTank liquid. That would cost me $589.56 for one month for the same equivalent of 4 cartons or cigarettes. How is that possible? Does vaping actually cut back on the amount of vapor you need to satisfy your nicotine craving? I must be missing something here if it will cost me that much each month. Any thoughts?

What they mean by one cartridge is 10-12 cigarettes is that it will hold enough liquid to be 10-12 cigarettes. The liquid fills the cartridge, and most of them are refillable.. if you just want to try vaping for a while, there is a great inexpensive starter at myfreedomsmokes.com

Up your nicotine level, and maybe you can cut back. More powerful devices or variable voltage. There are several things you can try to get a more satisfying vapor. I use 900mah plain eGos and carto tanks. It costs about 28 bucks a month to vape. Keep researching equipment and do window shopping.

I figured I was missing something when it comes to the total price per month LOL Thank you. I will look into the eGo you mentioned, but I really for whatever reason, want to get the Vapor King Ultimate e-Tank starter kit, but its sold out everywhere I find it online With this blister pack starter kit, not sure which liquid to get with it. Ive smoked Marlboro Red forever and see they have a PG and VG type tobacco liquid. Any recommendations on which to try for the first time? Would probably prefer 16mg-24mg strength since Im a 1-2 pack a day smoker.

I am not familiar with that kit, but what ever it is , it is very overpriced. I have been vaping for 6 month now and my grand total is about $500 /550 for half a year. That includes start up hardware. Their are many options that are reasonable. Many people will recomend an eGo starter kit. Check out the forums suppliers page and look around. (if you go to the top of the forum, there is a click on button that will take you there)

Hi Silver bullet although new to this myself, I dont think there is a conversion table for cigarette against fluid. I thought I was vaping quite alot but it seems that about 30ml of assorted strength fluids is about the norm. I can't see it costing you $589.56 in fluid when its costing me £5 a week. Remember that you can buy rebuildable delivery devices such as the CE5 which costs around £5 and spares about £2 if you need them

 

[Chrissie]

I've been vaping for coming up to 5 years & in that time I've saved many thousands of £'s

 

[Vapoor eyes er]

I smoked 1 1/2 PAD of VERY strong tobacco and began with 36 mg X 8 ml per day. Now down to 2 mg X 2 ml per day. For the first while don't worry about the amount vaped as tobacco chems are leaving your system.

Yes, I was misinformed on my monthly totals. I was thinking the cartridges only lasted 10-12 cigarettes but its actually the liquid that lasts that long, so I would not need 80 cartridges each month. Sorry about that. Thank you!

If you are starting off like I am I can recommend the eGo C. All you need to buy extra are the tank caps if you buy a starter kit from esmoke.co.uk It comes with plenty of spares and only costs £29.99 + p&p. the spare caps I have been getting from clearvape @£1.55 per 10. All in all it costs me about £10 or less a week

Ok, I decided to get the eGo/CE4 blister pack starter kit you mentioned above. I also go the Tobacco eLiquid (24mg / 30 ml) for $13.99 also. Will be my first experience with e-cigs. Not sure what to expect, but we'll see. Thank you.
