If I take softer but longer puffs will I consume less ejuice than I would if I take harder but shorter puffs? Also, how much of a difference does the amount of volts affect the amount of ejuice used?
I use an ego battery and have 4 air flow options, I like using 4.2V (my coil is 1.8Ohms) and the max airflow but this is not only tearing a hole in my wallet its practically making it disappear.
I only need enough volts required to vaporize the nicotine that I want (I'm not sure but I believe I'm using 46MG/10Ml nicotine ejuice, if I upgrade to higher level nicotine ejuice containers will the power and/or airflow requirements go down?
Finally, if I start using the 1.6Ohm coil (the only other coil the Nautilus is compatible with as far as I know.) will that make a difference in power consumption required to get the same effect?

Thanks for the comment. I like the nicotine level high (I believe I got the 46mg at myfreedomsmokes but I don't recall) if there is a place that sells higher concentrations (I'm not willing to make my own.) I NEED to hear about it, as well as whether or not shorter but harder puffs matter, how much reducing the voltage matters, and if the 1.6Ohm coil would allow me to get by with less power consumption while providing the same heat?

With an ego battery & nautilus I dont think there is anything you can do to reduce juice consumption & improve battery life.
The nautilus is not a thirsty clearo.

Most likely the ego battery isn't powerful enough to fully utilize the nautilus capability.
4.2v / 1.8Ω = 9.8w & 2.33a, most have a 2.5 amp limit, being that close to the amp limit will reduce battery life / vape time between recharging.

9.8 watts is fairly low power using a nautilus.
If you were to power it with 13w ~ 18w ( 4.8ish - 5.7 ish volts) you'd see a difference in vapor production, temperature & nicotine delivery.
Enough so you'd probably reduce either nic mg or the amount you vape.

As far as juice consumption goes, It takes a certain amount of juice to deliver a certain amount of nicotine & vapor, no way around it.
More vapor = more juice being vaporized, more nic = more juice being vaporized.
The .2Ω difference between the two nautilus heads ( 1.6Ω - 1.8Ω ) won't make any noticeable difference in juice consumption and maybe a 3 minute difference in battery life.

More efficient delivery devices will greatly improve nic delivery vapor production & temperature, but you must have a power device capable of providing the power they require without hitting the amp limit. They all will use more juice.

I would never recommend going up in nic mg from where you are, do you have some kind of physical or mental cravings or underlying issues that make you think / feel like you need more nic?

juice consumption is directly related to wattage level.

watts = volts x volts / ohms
4.2 x 4.2 /1.8 = 9.8 watts

10 watts at 46mg/ml sounds definitely on the high end

I only know of one other person who uses higher mg nic and I'm assuming they make their own. Seems like ?would taste mighty bad lol
The OP did mention that he got it from My Freedom Smokes, which does sell DIY supplies, so I think the OP is vaping nicotine base.

Higher resistance coils would use less juice - but I find those gum up in a few days rather than the couple of weeks claimed by the manufacturer. Mine is a LF Vivi-Nova V2 with the coil wound round the wick - YMMV.

If so, the original poster might benefit from some WTA liquid.

Actually they do sell ejuice up to 48mg, not 46. But it costs more, over 24mg, so I can understand, if he's buying enough premade at 48mg, no wonder it's tearing a hole in his wallet.

Seriously, to save money, you could:

1) DIY -- make your own ejuice, it's the only sane way to go about this.
2) use a carto or cartotank -- they're very good at conserving juice.

Of course, using cartos creates a constant need to buy replacement cartos, just like coils. to save money there, you could get a rebuildable, but they tend to use more juice, though that's directly related to the resistance of the coil and how high a wattage you use -- more heat means more vapor means more juice is vaporized.

But whichever way you go about any of this, it's still significantly less money than supporting a fulltime cigarette habit.

Entirely possible -- 12mg and up makes me terribly sick, but I still had awful cravings. WTA vanished them. (but WTA costs a lot more than regular ejuice, on initial outlay.)

OP, I think you really need to figure out what strength juice you are using. Your first post says 46mg/10mL which would actually be 4.6mg/mL. In your second post you say just 46mg. There is a large difference between these two.

ETA: I just checked and MFS doesn't even sell anything at 46mg/mL or 4.6mg/mL.
