How much is too much?

[Pacer]

I’m hoping one or two of you will be kind enough to let me know how much juice you go though in a day.

I’m just wondering if I’m overdoing it! As I still smoke the shit-sticks all be it, only about 10 a day and I’m going though about 5ml of 10mg juice daily.

My biggest problem is having something in my mouth or something to fiddle with, so when I’m on the laptop I’m constantly puffing on the juice, but if I wasn’t doing that I would have a nasty in my mouth puffing on that.

I guess we are all different but wanted to know if I was in the right ball-park

Many kind thanks

Trevor

Approx 6ml 20mg,nothing to worry about trev

That's at the top end of normal I think, what mg nicotine are you vaping? If you're going through 5ml and 10 regular cigs a day, sounds like you need higher nicotine

[Pacer]

Thanks River & Ellen

I’m using 10mg Ellen; I have got some 20mg from V.E but find it to strong.

3-5ml seems to be the average whenever this question is asked. Personally I vape between 2 and 3ml @ 18mg, but others do more

Many kind thanks One.

In my opinion, as long as you aren't feeling any side-effects from too much nicotine, it's not too much. If you are trying to cut out the nasties altogether and are finding it difficult with what you are currently vaping, then it's possible that it is not enough.

I don't really keep track of how much I get through in terms of volume since I am always trying out different juices throughout the day. However I do generally stick to low nic (6mg-10mg) to avoid overdoing it.

About 4ml ish (depends on how much alcohol has been drunk ) per day at 24mg. Usually 100ml's last me a month.

Trevor , I'd go with as much as necessary , I vaped constantly to start, and still really struggled to cut down the cigs, I've been on 4/5 a day for about 3 months now I'm happy there but will try and cut out analogs eventually. If you get heavy headed , or nauseous then step away from e-cig and drink some water. As you say your vaping constantly I'd say stick to the 10mg but when you find the novelty wears off you may find your strength goes up and your liquid consumption goes down

[Puffin UK (Neil)]

I use about 4 -6ml a day. As Kirsty says if you feel nauseous etc... either cut down on how much you are using or go down on nicotine strength.

[Perpetua]

There's no hard and fast rule really Trevor, it's whatever your body and your habits are comfortable with . . . personally, I go through 5-10ml a day, depending upon whether I'm working or not.

It's mainly low strength juice as for me, the hand to mouth/seeing vapour is as important as a nicotine fix, to fool my brain into thinking it's still smoking tobacco.

Do what feels right for you.

I'm probably about 6mls of 12mg liquid - maybe more if I'm off work

[azzie]

Typically 5-6mls @24mg depends what Im doing

I can't seem to get away from smokes yet either Pacer. I've been vaipng for just over 4 months and the actual cigarette use is a lot lower than it was. I am still using 18 or 24mg juices and getting through 4 or 5ml a day, on top of the cigarettes.
You'll know when you're using too little or too much and just experiment until you feel comfortable.

I used to be on 3 packs of tobbaco a week, actually about 2 - 2 1/2 but 3 were bought, I'd roll on average about 20 / day, sometimes less, sometimes more, Gold Leaf is what I smoked.

Since having my first disposable e-cig, I instantly wanted to vape and not smoke, after 17 years!

I started using the Innokin cig-a-like first with the cartomisers, and after a few days I've moved on the vision 900 with the clearomisers (I've gone through 1.6ml since 9am it is now 1:33am I am going to top up.

I have one rollie in the morning, and vape the rest. I was told not to quit 100% straight away!

Try and make it routine, and try not to ad-lib too much, and slowly you might be able to cut down and cut them out all together.

all the best!
