Vaping & Emptying Tanks - How Much Is Too Much In A Day?

[rickyrickeric]

So my wife and I are absolutely loving our new Protank Mini 3's. What a huge upgrade from our old EVOD tanks! No leaks, no gurgles, great taste, and awesome vapor. We also just upgraded our batteries from Ego Twist 650's to Vision Spinner 1300's. I am stunned by how much of a difference this has made.

Maybe it's just because I am really enjoying the new toys, and the vaping experience upgrade, but I find myself refilling my tank at least once, and sometimes twice, a day. Being a dual coil design, I realize that the Protank Mini 3 is going to use more juice. Right now, my ADV is the Spurburry from Mt Baker Vapor, at 6 mg of nic, and max VG. The vapor, the taste, well, it's all too good! I find myself hitting on it a lot throughout the day.

I haven't suffered any nic overdose effects, but I would still like to get opinions. Am I hitting it too much? What are your experiences? I am only one year into my vaping odyssey, so I still have much to learn. Should I dial it back? Or am further from overdoing it than I realize? Thanks!

And BTW, I LOVE this forum!

I don't know how much a PT mini holds, but I assume it's around 1.5 ml of juice. Based on what I've read around here, I don't think 3+ ml a day is an unusually excessive amount, especially in 6 mg/ml strength. Of course, I'm rationalizing my own 3+ ml/day usage.

 

[WillyZee]

you are probably quite far from over doing it at 6mg with your current setup ... you'll know if you cross that too much nic line.

enjoy the vape

From what I've seen, some folks go through more than 5ml a day, others less than 2. I think anything in that range is totally reasonable, and if more, why not - if it's keeping the analogue cigs at bay, go for it.

I'm certainly doing about 3ml a day, maybe more sometimes, and at 18-24mg nic.

I like your review of the protank mini 3 though. Makes me wonder if I should go get one or three. Shiny.

Honestly I think you're fine you'll know if u nic overdose I smoke all day and don't have issues

 

[rickyrickeric]

Cool! Yeah, the capacity of the Protank Mini 3 is around 1.5ml, so I reckon I'm burning around 3ml a day. And Fattlestar, I really can't say enough about this tank. Maybe it's because I'm a relative greenie when it comes to vaping, and bear in mind that this is an upgrade from an EVOD tank. But the difference has been startling to say the least. Now, it is entirely possible (and likely) that I will have another such epiphany when I take the next step to something else like a major mod. But for now, I am extremely happy with my current setup.

Well, I normally vape on a nautilus mini (which is excellent, those BVC coils are awesome) but I've been looking for smaller tanks that are still high quality but low priced. Need some options for taste-testing without tossing aside another coil every day when switching 101 flavors. The Aspire k1 is looking awesome too (same price range and same capacity as that protank mini 3). I'm also considering grabbing a vision spinner for a backup to my iStick/MVP2. Triplicate for safety measures, yeah, not because shiny.

In any case, it's great that you found some new gear to satisfy the vape!

 

[rickyrickeric]

And what's even cooler is that I found a seller on eBay who sells the Protank Mini 3's for around $8, whereas, they normally run about twice that in other stores. I also found another seller who had the Vision 1300 Spinners for about $13 each. So my new setup cost me $21. I really can't complain.

I can bogart a protank mini in bout 20 minutes with a nice 1.2 ohm build. I know that I fill my kayfun at least twice a day. You sure can go through the juice with well tuned equipment.

 

[ReigntheGamer]

I think you're ok. If I get a really good 6mg nic juice I sometimes have to fill the full size naut (about 5ml) twice a day.

(I also used to smoke 2 packs of smokes a day so the 10ml/6mg is still an improvement.)

 

[LMS62]

You should be perfectly fine. I normally go through between 8 and 10ml a day, with 18mg nic, and there are no issues.

 

[sub4me]

Now that's a lot of liquid.

 

[Israfil]

I eat through around 3-6 mil a day vaping 36....I drip, I fill my krakens, I loves my vape!

 

[LMS62]

Now that's a lot of liquid.

That's why I DIY my juice. If I had to buy it, I would be in the poor house.....and because I'm married, I would be in the dog house as well, lol.

 

[Big Me]

As long as you're not getting any symptoms of overdosing on nicotine, vape on!

 

[TheOdessa]

On my KFL+ I was going thru 3 tanks a day which was approx 12 mL and running 18mg juice.

On my Protank 2 I go thru 3-4 tanks a day which is about 8 mL running 18mg juice.

It all depends on what you like without getting sick from the nic. I smoked cigars so I have a high nic tolerance.

Was really happy with my PT3 until it met its demise on a 40 foot fall to the steel grating below

Now sporting an Aerotank mini. (1.5ml) ............A step up IMHO

Anywho,Depending on the stress / boredom of the day....2 tanks to 5 tanks @ 6mg
At 4-5 tanks I do sometimes get a headache (at most).....but WAY better than a 2 pack a day analog habit.

I think you're fine until you hit that point....Newbie here too, sortta.

 

[DaveP]

Whatever keeps you from smoking tobacco is fine. 5ml a day is about the average for long term vapers. Some vape more than that.

I go through a 4.5ml Kayfun 3.1 tank in a day and refill it at night about supper time, so my estimate would be 6ml a day or so.

I had a protank 2 and Aerotank but then I discovered....the KFL. I have since retired my Aerotank and use the Protank 2 when in a pinch or the KFL is acting up. I have a eLeaf Lemo on order. Once you vape a KFL tank, protanks seem...blah. The flavor is omg...and the vapor and nic hit is so much better.

I am also able to rewick a KFL and Protank 2 wick under 5 minutes using Koh Gen Do cotton. Microcoils and cotton far surpass stock wicks in flavor and vapor.

Thanks for the info
My biggest issue is I have to keep it small for concealment due to "no smoking" at work....to include e-cigs
