definatly normal and no your not vaping to much. depending on the day i might not even allow my PV to leave my mouth lol. when i first started vaping i too thought that i might be doing more then i was smoking and that might be true but if your taking a few puffs every five mins then after lets say an hour you probably only vaped like 1-2 cigs worth, closer to the 1. if you feel like you need to change your habit give yourself a time like like 5 mins straight of vaping for every hour, but id say your doing just fine. hope this helped a little bit. have a great day!-)

I have only been vaping for a few weeks now (love it), but I vape much more than I would smoke. For instance, when I analog cigarette is burnt to the filter you have to put it out, but I can vape a whole carto if I feel the need. Normally, I take a puff or two every 5 minutes.

Is this normal? What are your vaping habits?

Funny, I take 5 puffs every minute or two. :)

Yes, it's normal from all I've seen around here. Upping the nicotine level can help put a longer stop on it for me. I usually use 18mg/ml, but will go with 24mg/ml or I even have some 36mg/ml that will keep me quenched for a good half hour.

When i can I leave the PV somewhere other than where I am sitting so I have to get up and walk to it to vape. I do not want to increase my nicotine addiction or start needing stronger and bigger PVs.

I could vape all the time if I let myself. But I am planning to cut down my nicotine one step so I don't want to vape all of the time at 18mg. That way when I start switching in 12mg juices I can vape more at first. (i.e. can't vape more if you are already vaping constantly)

At work I did start vaping at my desk but I set it down, take a drag or two when I want one.

I figure it like this:

When I smoked analogs, I would go outside every hour (or more). It would take me about 10-12 puffs to smoke one down to the filter (wrecked lungs). Now I hit my pv about every 5 minutes (or less) - but every 5 minutes means 12 times an hour. So there's no real difference - 12 puffs/hr on the analog, 12 hits/hr on the pv. I'm not vaping more than I smoked, just doing it over a longer period.

I think everyone goes through this. It seems like we're vaping way more than we smoked, but nicotine absorption is slower with vaping than it is with smoking. There are times when my PV is more like a pacifier than anything else. It's practically glued to my face. It's normal and nothing to worry about. Just make sure that you're drinking plenty of water and pay attention to the cues your body gives you. If you start getting headaches then stop vaping for a while.

LOL @ you alll. That makes me feel better. I don't feel bad for my health, but my batteries are taking a beating. I have ordered a pass through and more batteries from bloog already. I have even started to refill my own carts and now mixing flavors.

VB arctic ice + cinnabomb = interesting to say the least lmao!!

LOL! since you're in front of your 'puter, you should get a PT - you're batteries will thank you bunches for this!

a good vape indeed.........if you want to save mixing, try the VB or Puresmoker Fire&Ice, very close to the same. This is my current go-to vape.

I started with Dekang liquids and was vaping maybe once every half hour or so. We just ordered from a new vendor and I now can't put mine down. I am trying to pace myself just because I don't want to run out in a 24 hour period! It really is all about the flavor.

Amen to that!

STILL better than chaining the analogs!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Plus it's almost like FREEDOM to toke WITHOUT the 4000+ death chemicals.

You might want to up your "dose" of nicotine to a higher level. That might help.
