I puff much more often than every 20 minutes BUT I dont puff for as long as I used to with an analog so it evens out. I take a couple of good puffs every 5 minutes or so when Im not working.
What is your "puff" rate?

I have absolutely NO idea how many puffs I take in a day..much less an hour...or even five minutes! I chain vape...I chain smoked. My PV is always in my hand when I'm awake (unless I'm typing here on my laptop...or cooking....or doing something else both hands have to be engaged like making the bed, or washing my face) . Or at least it's within inches where I can grab it quick. I vape about 7ml.+ a day..average "day" is about 18 hours (factoring in insomnia incidents).
I'm particularly notorious for constant and incessant vaping when I have some bit of new equipment...be it a PV, or a juice delivery system. I also am notorious when I'm having trouble with a bit of equipment. I compulsively keep trying to make it work better by using it more frequently. But when I get new stuff is when my OCD vaping is the most pronounced. And since I'm addicted to getting new stuff...it's an on-going situation. I'm just so enamored with whatever-it-is...I can't stop looking at it. Which leads to HAVING to use it and savor it...and so it goes.
Having a powerful (and more ingrained than nicotine ever was) addiction to the hand to mouth habit doesn't help. But at least it's not as bad for me as smoking or over-eating (not that I could over-eat right now with my teeth messed up/hurting like they are)...and vaping just makes me feel HAPPY!

I'm just like you... sucking and new equipment make all the difference. So I'm off coffee and on to a local drink called mate that involves sucking from a metal straw. Helps me not to vape too much. But if I have a flavor I love or new equipment I can vape as much as 6 ml a day, not good.
I don't know what my "puff rate" is, but I vape about the same as I used to smoke. I chain vape for 5-7 minutes at a time, every hour or so, and a few puffs in between. I even go outside most of the time just like I did with analogs, old habits die hard I guess.
I comfort myself regarding the high quantity of juice I consume in a day with knowing the fact I'm only using 4mg. strength nicotine...and am stepping down to 0 at some point in the near future.
I counted my puffs on analogs and I was puffing from 7-8 hits. So I try to limit myself to 4-5 since the nic is higher as I was on lights
I was the roll your own method too. I think it only half ever set in that I was prolly spending as much on them as I thought I was saving vs buying pre-made ciggarettes as I smoked twice as many. They did seem to burn up twice as fast!
Yup - I'm a sucker for new toys too. I do have to admit there's a certain amount of novelty factor going on for me atm. So I probably am vaping it more than I should, but no ill health affects yet. I also have the hand to mouth thing going on that made me oh so perfect to be addicted to smoking. (And I do like some food and drinks...)
For the most part, I am not trying to track how much I vape as every time I vape I'm not smoking a cig. I just started Monday and in that time I've managed to keep myself down to about 6 cigs a day. (Not bad for an out of the gate 1 1/2 PAD smoker.) I find that the morning cig is going to be the hardest one to get rid of for some reason. Work is also particularly difficult for me.
This is really rather shocking to me and to others (that work is the trouble spot). I think it's the delivery system. I'm fine at home when I can just pretty much vape as I want. But with work, I'm often stuck for several hours where I can't leave my station and I can't vape in customer view. Then my nic levels dip and only a cig will get me feeling right again.
Today I had my 1 in the morning and thus far I'm doing well. I have a short shift at work today so my goal is to spend the rest of the day only vaping. *crosses fingers* I CAN DO THIS!
(Yes I have to talk myself into things. )
I agree with fourthrok, if I buy something new, I'm using it NON-STOP haha. I make myself feel SICK when I get new vape toys. I stepped down to 11 or 12mg juice so I could vape more. I'd step down to a lower mg if nicotine weren't the main factor in throat hit. throat hit is probably my #1 reason for vaping and for smoking for all these years. I love it. I'm addicted to nothing more, than my precious TH. I'm SO ADDICTED to throat hit, that if I'm feeling sick from vaping too much, I run down stairs and grab a can of soda. lol. Then I sip on the soda to get my throat hit haha. Thats how insanely addicted I am to that damn TH. If I have a juice that isn't delivering the TH I'm happy with... Like this stupid blueberry juice I'm vaping right now? Then I'll vape myself sick chasing that 1 throat hit I get every 5 or 6 hits off my PV. Yup. I'm a throat hit JUNKY.

I may need to search YouTube for a video to see how that's done!
I prob pick mine up every 30-40 mins and hit it hard 2-5 times, I still have my normal analog smoke in the morning because this is
only my second day puffing on the vap, I worry like a SOB about having some bad reaction to this thing....why you ask?
I have no idea really, I guess its just from reading all the PG VG stuff, prob just paranoid huh.

Theres a video for that??Sweet!! Who's doing it Grimmgreen or PBusardo?
I hit it quite a lot when I'm working at the computer, one puff every 1-3 mins. Also take a few good ones every now and again. I was a heavy smoker. Not so much If i'm busy doing something else. Though I vary the puffs taking more mouth/nose puffs and only the occasional ones I breath down into my lungs. I'm still not convinced that this is good for the lungs, though much much better than tobbaco I'm sure.
