As a smoker of about 25 stinkies a day,how much juice should I be using a day,to satisfy to stay off the stinkies thanks x

[thatguy]

I cant really say for the premades, but I smoked about 3/4 oz of rolling baccy a day and found that I was using about 1.5-2.5ml a day. At the price I pay for juice this works out at about £3 a week. This was 18ml/mg juice by the way. This was using mini protank 2s and evod batteries. If you want to use a mod or dual coil tanks, you can expect to use more juice. With a dual coil on an evod about 3 ml a day seems reasonable. As for mods or VV batteries you can easily use 5-6ml a day.

To put your mind as ease, just use what you need. Even if you end up using more nicotine to begin with, it will still be bettwe for your health.

hi kathy62 - in any case get yourself a nice variety of juices - and of non of them too much -you will anyhow - we all did - I thibnk more important is the right strength - I would not go under anything but 18 mg - maybe even 24 - also try out some different ratios of pg - vg

joosejuice is a great place to start

Ironically, only you can answer that question kathy62. I suggest trying 18mg first, then step up if it's not enough. I went from 40+ stinkies straight to 18mg and that was enough.

May be wise to run 2 setups. One at 18mg, and one at 24 for more stressful moments.

kathy62 if they were 25 "regular" fags, i.e. L&B, B&H etc then I'd be inclined to suggest 2-3ml of 24mg to realy get&keep off the fags, with some 18mg handy as backup if you find it too much nic. If they were lights, then 2-3ml of 18mg, with some 24mg handy if not enough nic.

One tip, when starting off, vape as you used to smoke if possible, i.e. frequency of use (25 fags a day, 25 vape-until-no-craving sessions) and see how you go from there, adjusting frequecy/length of sessions to suit you.

As with everything vaping, it's about finding what works for you, and sometimes that means a little experimentation to get it just right

[Perpetua]

Use whatever it takes to keep you off the ciggies kathy62, there's no right or wrong . . . but what works for you as an individual.

For some that might be 2ml, for others 10ml. If it does the job that's all that matters.

Theres not really any "should" its probably different for everyone, I was on 20 L&B a day when I made the switch to vaping I started on 18mg nicotine juice and now after 3 months have dropped down to 12mg - I vape somewhere around 5-7ml a day it depends a lot on what I'm doing. I have 4 different tanks and flavours on the go at the same time and just vape whichever one I fancy at that moment, I don't really think about how much I'm getting through so long as it's keeping me satisfied and off the stinkies. You may find that in the beginning you get through more liquid until you find the level that suits you or you may find as you start finding flavours you like that you vape a little less I don't think it really matters - whatever works for you.

I had a nice simple answer, but was beaten to it

But the rest of thatguy 's post is pertinent info as well.

Thankyou,I was just wondering with being new to vapeing,now I know,I will be able to judge it,as I was craving like mad even though I was having my vape pen,but obviously I wasn't using it enough,I was just using it when I craved s fag x

[Clivia]

kathy62 - I vape because I enjoy vaping - not because I crave stinkies - I don't even think anymore of them - but I looooooooooooooooooooooove vaping - vaping isn't just a subsitute - it's a whole new world of pleasure

[kathy62]

I know I do enjoy vapeing,its not just a substitute,am also trying to get my daughter to switch to vapeing,she tried it but was puffing on it morning till night constantly,so she gave up on it and went back to fags,but I won't give up trying to get her to go back to it ???? x

Good luck kathy62_ with kicking the stinkies.
The amount of liquid used, in my opinion, doesn't matter it is the cigarettes you are not having that is the important bit.
I mix my own so don't really keep a note of how much i use but i would imagine it to be around 10ml/day or there about.

I always think of vaping as a bit like drinking water?.... if you feel thirsty you are too late, and are already slightly dehydrated.

So with vaping you shouldn't wait until you crave nicotine, vaping more regularly at shorter lengths but more regular intervals should keep all cravings at bay you are drip feeding your nicotine hit. Its now not about peaks and troughs, its about steadily feeding the nicotine beast!!

Once you get really settled and comfortable and confident about vaping then you can mess about lowering nicotine (if your game-plan is to be nicotine free)

[kathy62]

I do aim to be nicotine free but no rush there,been park today with the grandkids and didn't take fags took my vape pen and had that,and up to now only had 2 fags today which is a big drop from 25,so fingers crossed I won't be having anymore,thankyou for advice I do appreciate it x

Kathy! I was smoking a little bit more than you, but the day I started Vaping I actually stopped smoking there and then, I had been smoking for around the last 50 years, I did manage to stop on my own for fives years but somehow started again, my problem was I actually enjoyed smoking and it was nothing to do with stress, being social or anything like that, I've only been Vaping for around four months and can honestly say I havn't even fancied a Cig, so I'm not so sure if it was the act of smoking or the actual taste of them I liked, what I do like now is that when I wake up in the morning my mouth doesn't feel like the bottom of a bird cage, I don't have the cig aftertaste all day, my clothes don't stink, I might! but my clothes are fine, plus I never smoked in the house because my Wife doesn't smoke, now I happily Vape all day in the house and the Wife loves the smell of most of my Juices, now here's a bit you might like! I read your post earlier today, then My Son in Law popped into see me who still smokes cigs, so I though Mmmm! I wonder, so in the interest of science and you,, I scrounged one off him, normally need a crowbar for that, he's even tighter than me, anyway sitting outside I lit up and three puffs later put it out, it just tasted chemical and nasty and even a couple of hours later I still had the horrible after taste, so you may think you need a cig boost, but trust me you honestly don't, if you use the 18 or 24mg juice you will find you won't need a cig, and the beauty is you can even cut down on your nicotine intake slowly,, I started on the 24mg and now I'm on the 12mg, In effect in four months I've halved my nic intake, feel much healthier and can taste my food now, try leaving your cigs at home for a day and just Vape you may surprise yourself and find when you try a cig you won't like it one bit,,,
