I was just wondering how much e-juice most people go through ?

I'm blowing down a 30 ml bottle of 6mg every 3-4 days. Just by going off of what I read about people saving money I'm guessing that's more than most ? Going from a pack a day, I'm saving about 3 bucks a month. If they started taxing e-juice I'd have to go back to smoking to save money, lol. I switched more for health reasons so I'm not complaining.....yet

I didn't go through juice as fast until I started dripping, but with the added flavor it's hard to go back. I do plan on getting a MVP 2 to take on the run.

Thanks, Kenny

There is no way to answer "too much?" Since the introduction of RDA and sub ohm builds etc. people can blow through a lot of liquid if they want big clouds, usually at much lower nicotine levels than anyone uses in more conventional devices. Three ml's a day at 24 mg in a carto tank is one thing. 10 ml's of 6 mg a day in a low ohm RDA is... pretty much the same thing. You aren't necessarily taking in less nic, because you are exposing yourself to 4x the volume of vapor. But if you want that volume of vapor you gotta pay the price - and that means blowing through a lot of liquid at a lower nic concentration. Only you can tell what is too much, if you are getting nic sick in the process.

I've only been vaping a few months but jumped in really quickly. I see big differences in juice consumption depending on the device, topper, nic level, and pg/vg ratio.

I was not surprised to see how fast I go through juice with a sum ohm RDA, especially thinner juices like 50/50, but I was a little surprised at how quickly RBAs eat juice. I'm with you on the not saving money part though and that doesn't even begin to account for the hardware.

Im doing about 3-5ml a day depending on how bored I am... basically a 100 ml bottle lasts me about a month
anothe trick I learned is to buy 36 nic with 2X flavor shot and then reduce it with glycerin ( add about 30% glycerin) to increase the volume to 130ml that way I get 24 nic with a good flavor for 45$
44 for the juice 3 for the glycerin and I use about 1/3rd bottle of glycerin to 100ml of juice...

I'm definitely NOT complaining. I'm having a lot of fun with it ! When I was using my Ego all the time I used it like a cigarette, I just never put it down. Once I started dripping it was like something happened in my head. The more vapor I blow, the more satisfied I feel, LoL. With building my own coils, and trying all the different builds (without going as low resistance as most videos. I try to stay around .8 ohm) This has become more of a hobby than a habit.

I asked the question more because I always here about how much money people are saving. I'm pretty even with what I was spending smoking, without adding in the cost of the toys.

I go through between 3 and 4 tanks a day. I use a 3 ml and a 2 ml tank and vape all day long, even at work. I would suggest mixing your own. It's a fairly simple process and will save you money. To start out you need to download an ejuice calculator, PG, VG, flavors, and some PG or VG based nicotine, along with a 30ml or larger bottle with dropper to mix. I can't comment on other suppliers, but I have used Totally Wicked nicotine, flavors, and PG for over 3 years. I buy my VG at CVS or Walgreens in the pharmacy section. Once you start mixing your own you can adjust the amount of vg and pg, increase or decrease flavor and nicotine to suit your own needs.

If you're using ejuice with nic..........too much is when you get "nic sick". :pOtherwise, there is no such thing as too much!
If you want to cut down, increase your nic %.
And your vape gear can bring the amount of ML up or down, ie, dripping, tank, etc. But, as was said, as long as it keeps you away from stinkies, it's all cool!:)
