Vaping too much?

[rzwakman]

One thing I've found is that it up to each person. In Minnesota where I am, 16mg is about the most common strength that you will find. 1-2ml a day is about the norm here using a pen style clearomizer. As a general rule, whatever amount keeps you off the analog sticks and keeps you happy, then that's the right amount for you.

As for me, in a clearmizer, at 16mg, I go through about 2ml a day. If I'm using an rda, at 0-1mg, I can go through 4-6ml in a couple hours. Using the Atlantis tank only for the day, I go through 8-10ml at 2.5mg. With a kayfun, at 10mg, I go through about 5ml a day.

I smoked full-flavor menthols before I started vaping, and I was around 2-4 ml/day at 24 mg concentration. I wouldn't sweat it!

Ive been vaping about 4ml every two days give or take a ml. And its around 8mg nicotine. I was wondering if this was a bit much or just normal for a recent quitter?

Try vaping 12-18 mg of nicotine. Ihave been vaping for a year and a half and 12 is my sweet spot. If I go lower I just vape more juice.

I regularly vape 7-10 ml a day of 12mg liquids. Beats the hell out of 2 packs a day. Like Paradicio said, "If I'm awake I'm vaping. "

I go through a tank every two days or so and I am using a 2ml tank. I also vape 24mg of nic...I just quit smoking Marlboro reds 5 weeks ago to take up vaping. I smoked for 27 years...so I am not sure what is a good amount to be vaping...I just vape as much as I want...pretty much chain vaping...I love those clouds!

Im less than a month in, smoked a pack of Marlborough Light 100/day.... using 12MG when I can. Not sure how much it holds but Im 1 1/2-2 tanks per day on my Atlantis . I think the Atlantis is a 2ml, anyone??????

Using my Nautilus mini, I would go from 2-4 ml per day @ 24 mg. Now using my Kanger sub tank, about 8 ml of 6 mg nic. If I use my mech mod with an RDA, I could see going through 10-20 ml @ 6 mg per day. They all use diff amounts due to more power and heat. My dad usually run about 6 ml a day @ 36 mg/ml nic but he smokes about 3 packs a day. I agree as mention above, what ever works for you and keeps you from smoking analogs is perfectly normal. Your body will let you know what is too much

Your body will let you know what is too much

What would one's body tell them if they had too much nicotine? What are the symptoms?

 

[Caprilli]

I have only started vaping 8 days ago and went from 1.5 - 2 packs of Marlboro light onto an 18 mg nic. Since I pretty much chain vaped in front of the PC I soon discovered that my ears started ringing and I felt slightly fain so I went down to 12 which was great at around about 3.5 ml a day.

I am beginning to think that I can start lowering the nic soon and will vary the amount of nic in the juice until I am fully content with the lower amount.

Here's a good post with info on symptoms for you that you can read up on. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...ing-your-symptoms-while-adjusting-vaping.html

Thanks! This has been of interest and concern to me after hanging out in the vape shop the other day I got a bit light headed and dizzy.

I'm glad to see this question answered 'cuz my husband wonders the same about me .I go through about 4ml a day at 6-8 nic level and have not experienced any nasty side effects yet....hopefully, I can continue to chain vape! I couldn't do that with higher nic levels though because I did get headaches.

 

[Vanner]

been vaping for 12 days now, doing 1-1.5ml a day on 12 nic, still getting adjusted, only have experienced a slight headache few times at the start and also vape tongue. Once i get a regulated box mod, probably drop down to 8 or 6. The amount is a question mark.

Vape at a level you are comfortable with, by that I mean you are not craving a smoke. Don`t be to quick to drop the nic levels, it is a quick way to find yourself smoking again. Good read here - The Great Nicotine Myth

to ecf NDxEAGLE. Nice to meet you and so glad you are here. Just love it here myself. The answer to your question all depends on what type smoker you were and how much nicotine you require to remain smoke-free. I was a heavy smoker and I vape around 9 mls a day and I use 24mg nic juice. I personally believe that people who are new to vaping should use a higher than normal nic in order to fight any urges for cigarettes. Just my opinion. The person can always lower their nic later after the adjustment period is over and they are comfortable vaping. Good luck to you and happy vaping. Look forward to reading about your success. As you can see, ecf is sort of like a family. So, make yourself at home.

Excellent point. From all I've seen around here over the past year, nowadays when I hear of someone "quitting vaping," or dropping down to 0mg when they've only been vaping a few months, my first thought is, well, see ya back here after you decide to put the smokes down again and return to vaping.

Nicotine is NOT THE BAD GUY. Nicotine may in fact be the LEAST harmful thing available from cigarettes, so don't be in a hurry to get rid of it; it's not the sole thing in cigarettes that got us addicted, and for some of us, it's not the sole thing we need in order to abstain from cigarettes, but it's a biggie. If your consumption of nicotine doesn't have you facedown over the toilet or suffering other negative side effects, then it's not hurting you, and it won't hurt you, at least, not any worse than the coffee or other caffeinated beverages that most people consume like water. And a high enough dose of it on a regular basis may prevent you from feeling any need to go back to smoking. Let your own body guide you as to the correct level to use; you might find, over time, that you require less of it to feel normal, but it doesn't happen quickly, and the longer you smoked, the longer it will take for your brain to figure out that maybe it doesn't need so much of it anymore.

I usually go through two tanks a day on my protanks or emow's. So thats right around 5ml (4 realistically since I don't go till its totally empty) a day @ 18mg.

 

[Kab00se26]

I use a reo grand and Odin rda and go through 12-17 ml a day so I would say your good

Just today somebody posted a barrage of horrible effects proven by research that nic was guilty of, scary stuff,
So I humbly disagree with a few posters here, nobody here knows, unless we have MD's in the house or Prof's,
All I/we can do is speak of our own experience, after all we are on proving grounds for the most part.

I went strait to 0mg, I am now vaping less then before,
Spent a whole week next to smokers in a closed studio last week and nada, did not even feel like it,
I am vaping for 5 months now...

So many factors to consider, individualistic factors that is, ones discipline, amounts smoked prior to quitting, mental, emotional and physical health, etc. etc. etc.
But alas, who wants to live forever, I certainly don't, but I would like a healthy senior age, I want my son to inherit my estate not BP.

"Proven by research"??? And who exactly paid for that research? Anyone who says that nicotine, in the doses we use it, is capable of a "barrage of horrible effects" is full of BS, and is laughing all the way to the bank, courtesy of the ANTZ that paid for that pseudo-research.
