Subtle E-juice Reduction

[lobeydosser]

I mostly vape with a 5ml Nautilus Tank and up until 6 or so months ago, was getting through about 3.5ml a day.

However, over the past 6 months, this has gradually reduced until I reckon I am using about 2ml a day now and so a tank is lasting me 2 days instead of one day. .

I vape using 24mg e-juice and don't really want to change that strength.

Has anyone else noticed a reduction in the amounts they vape over a longer period of time?

Not me...it went up and up unfortunately. However as i have previously mentioned i have gone and bought another nautilus to add in a rotation of my set ups to help lower my mpg's lol.

At worst it was about 25ml but i guess now its about 15ml a day

I have 4 nautiluses on the go, but the other 3 only get 3 or 4 drags out of them at any one time and then don't get touched for a couple of days, so their e-juices last for months and I don't count them in my "daily consumption". The only one I do count is around my neck on a lanyard and is my 24/7 tobacco mix.

At a guess, I'd say the busier I am, the less I vape and recently, when working in the garden, I will only vape when I sit down to have a rest.

What I think is happening is that, like most of us, I started vaping to stop smoking and I was smoking more and more as time went on, due to the other addictive chemicals in ciggies.
The vaping started high because of the addiction I had to the nicotine in ciggies, but now that I am vaping, the other addictive chemicals in ciggies no longer count as there isn't any in e-juice and now the nicotine effect is gradually wearing off also.
I simply do not need that nicotine fix as much now.

This is not a conscious decision to cut down, it is just something I've noticed, over time.

25-30ml a day here but that is using 5 subtanks with different flavors in at 50-60watts so of course usage will be a lot higher.
all at 3mg nicotine.
i still use the nautilus for heisenburg and manabush at 12watts.

do you mix your own juice as 24mg is a thing of the past now and banned under the TPD
as long as your supplier has them in stock you can still get 24mg up until May and then they will dissapear. so stock up.

[lobeydosser]

Hi MrDJ I only have enough stashed away to keep me going on 24mg for the next 13 years or thereabouts.
After that I might (only might) start sub-ohming, but only for the sake of the mg level. It is not something I would choose to do, simply because of the amounts sub-ohmers seem to consume.

Yep I noticed my vaping becoming less and less to the point I quit completely. It wasn't really my aim it just happened naturally over time

[Perpetua]

If anything my consumption has risen since discovering the delights of subohming . . . . up or down, I pay no real attention as long as I'm enjoying my vaping habit.

[MrDJ]

only 13 years worth of supply, youd better stock up lobeydosser

[djs]

I wish my liquid consumption was going down not up.

Still, can't complain. Most of it is under 5mg now so considering I used 18mg to start, vaping 2 or 3 times as much is to be expected, I guess.

It's encouraging though lobeydosser for your Nicotine stash.

Well I will be 83 by then and as the wife says, you'll be lucky to still be around to finish that stash at the rate your going!!!!

Cheeky Besom!!

Ditto
I've levelled out at 25/30ml a day at 2.5mg and very happy

[lobeydosser]

Hi jtc To my way of thinking (although according to the wife, me & thinking are not compatible) 2.5mg at 30ml a day is the same as 24mg at 2ml a day.
Except I am going through less e-juice and less battery power, so that my way of vaping means that one charge and half a tank will last me 24 hours or there-abouts.

Not that it matters, as long as you are enjoying your vaping, but for me, I like to be able to pick up my fully charged and filled mod first thing in the morning and know that it will last me through until bedtime.
I don't want to be carrying around batteries and bottles of e-juice.
Once I'm wearing the lanyard, my e-cig is always there and always handy whether I'm working or driving.

[lobeydosser]

When I first started vaping e-juices (I had vaped tobacco before this) it was with a Skycig. Plastic case containing a spare battery and cartos.
I then went on to Egos. Canvas case with spare batteries and clearos. Then it was on to Zmaxs and Provaris, complete with spare batteries in plastic boxes and an odd assortment of spare filled tops.

Fed up with carrying all tis extra paraphernalia around every time I left the house, the Istick with its 24 hour charge and the Nautilus 5ml tank was manna from heaven. One unit with all day vaping potential.
Really I am not sure what is more important to me, taste or convenience of use. Either way, as long as I get my nic level for the day and don't need to carry extras, then I am a happy bunny.

The amounts some of you use in a day ... well, perhaps not surprise - but I sorta cannot grasp burning thro that much juice each day myself. Guess that's the downside of the high power vaping some of you partake in.

I vape roughly about 6 to 9 ml per day - at about 9 mg/ml nic. That's using my (somewhat humble) low end builds on RTAs and have been pretty stable at this level for a good 18 months or so.

When I first started with Evods and a bit later carto tanks I was using about 3 to 4 ml per day (firstly at about 24 then 18 mg/ml). My volume increased and nic ratio went down concurrently with "improvements" to my gear.

I'm currently getting through about 12-15ml of juice a day, but I am doing a lot of sitting around. When I get out walking and kayaking, to say nothing of work, that will no doubt go down a bit.
Most of my tanks are dual coil, at around .2-.4 ohm, and are powered at anything from 40-80w dependent on the tank and the juice.
All my juices are at 2mg, mixed by my own fair hand, and I have about 5 litres steeping (sorry, maturing!) in various different sizes; yesterday I mixed up 400ml of my favourite custard as I have just broached the last 400ml which was mixed about 5 months ago
