I vape 6 ml of 10 mg/ml per day -- same total nicotine, just less frequently.

Initially I vaped 24 mg/ml, 3 ml/day, coming form being a full pack a day smoker for several decades. My consumption doubled to 6 ml/day when I switched to variable voltage, at about 10 watts instead of 5 watts with kr808 and Riva/eGo gear. After a month or so I dropped to 20 mg/ml, then dropped to 10 mg/ml over a couple month period. Net, today I've vaping less nic than when I started, and not getting any of the other garbage chemicals from cigs, so I'm happy.

With that much vaping, you really need to drink lots of water. Perhaps try a higher nic level if you want to cut down frequency of vaping, but otherwise, if you're happy and not running into any issues I wouldn't sweat it.

If you aren't getting headaches, etc you are doing ok. (If you want to save juice/money without nic withdrawal, grab higher juice and hit it less..)

I go through about 3ml total in a day (1ml of a few different flavors & 2 of my all-day), mostly 6-12mg. (I have some 18 and 24 for the rarer-and-rarer cig cravings.) Some gear will use juice faster than other gear, and everyone is different..

yes, i noticed my atomizer burns my juice very fast. 6 drops of juice in my atomizer is good for 3 strong drag, then after that it tastes like .... already.

so i know my ato burns juice fast.

i want to vape more.. i really love the smoke.. not really into nicotine. but i plan to slowly go to 0mg nic juice someday..

i've read here that 6mg of 10ml juice contains 60mg nic. So my nic level increased because i was a packed smoker a day. 1 pack contains 36mg only now i'm vaping 60mg.. so this is a cause for concern..

I guess if you are comfortable with it then it is okay. I get worried if I start Vaping to much. Usually this is brought on more by a flavor I enjoy than Nic level.
When my brain triggers this issue, I switch to a less desired Flavor and within minutes the device is sitting more than being used.

Hey, I want to know if I'm vaping too much. How many ml do you vape anyway? And am i vaping too much?

Sometimes is Isn't just about ml's.

Someone vaping 2ml of 36mg is taking in More Nicotine per day. Just doing it with less vaping.

But it Isn't Only about mg's for Some people either.

When I First Switched, I Chain Vaped. Chain vaped 36mg. It was what it took to get off Analogs. After a couple of months I Stepped Down the Nicotine. But I was still vaping Constantly. Just could seem to go 5 Minutes without taking a Hit. I started to carry my PV in my Hand everywhere I went. I started to feel like Smeagol from the Lord of the Rings.

So to me, Vaping Too Much was more about not being able to go 2 or 3 hours without taking a Hit. When I Smoked, I could go 2 or 3 Hours without a Cigarette. That's what I wanted with Vaping.

If your Happy and Off Cigarettes, than that is what is Important. If you feel you are vaping Too Much. Put your PV Down and try picking it up Less Often.

There haven't been enough studies yet, but the couple that have been done showed that you absorb about 40% (max) of what is in the juice. So you are getting more like 24mg daily. (I'm not a doctor etc..)

Also, you are replacing the other gunk. Ammonia for example makes nicotine hit MUCH faster. Other additives affect mood, longevity of the 'high', etc.. For most people, more nic on any replacement "device" is going to be needed in the beginning. (its not replacement therapy, that requires FDA approval etc etc)

Same here, chain vaping 24mg currently and seriously considering bumping up to 36 or even DIY. I'm hoping increasing nicotine level will allow me to vape less frequently throughout the day. I can't complain though, at least I'm off the analogs :)

Nope,if it is written on the side of your pack ''36mg'' its per cigs,not per pack....and those are mighty strong cigs!

so your 10ml of 6mg/ml juice (60mg of nic total) is not even equivalent to 2 of those supacigs!

Granted,10ml of juice/day is a bit much.

Before remotely thinking about going 0nic,you might want to try cutting this in half or more...that would be a big goal in itself.

Just curious...

How long have you be using an e-Cigarette?

Totally depends on the person.
When I first quit analogs, and got my first e-cig..I got into Chain Vaping. I would go through juice like it was nothing. Really depends on your atty and frequency, too.
If you feel like it's too much, then slow it down. As long as you're not getting headaches or end up slightly OD-ing, you should be fine. Just remember to drink a lot of water.
On a regular basis, I vape around three ml of 6-12mg.

Yeah…

A Cigarettes Nicotine is rated as the amount the Average person Absorbs into their Body per One Cigarette.

Whereas an e-Liquids Nicotine is rated as the Total Amount of Nicotine in One Milliliter.

If the Absorption rates of Smoking and Vaping were the Same than we would Probably All be in a Nicotine Coma. But the rates are Not the same.

When you vape, you absorb Less Nicotine per Unit Volume as per when you Smoke.

Paying more attention today and it really does depend on your atty. I have a dual-coil 1.6ml that I can suck dry in a few puffs, but my nova tanks (3.5ml) are still 1/4-1/2 full in the evening, and I use them a lot more..

(Dual coil and Frozen Lime.. that is the definition of winning right there.. :))

Yup,I just keep it simple since vaping make us absorb less nic than smoking,and most of the times vaping makes us ingesting 20X++ less nic than smoking (pack of 20X36mg vs his 60mg!)
