How much liquid do you use in a day?

Hi people. I noticed today, I have mainly been using my sigelei150 with a dual coil 26gauge build at 0.6 Ohms.

I have been using it at 60Watts, as the flavour seemed best around here.

I have used a 15ML bottle in todays session(10 AM , now approaching 10PM). I notice RDA's really drink the juice, especially at 60+ watts.

How much, do you usually use, on average? If I am using a tank, its about 4 mls a day, but dripping, up to this amount.

Is there anyway I can get a similar vapour without drinking as much juice?

Like if I used smaller coils at a lower wattage, would it still produce big clouds, but not get through silly amounts of juice? I am thinking of trying a dual micro coil build in a minute in one of my RDA's see how that goes. I may even try one single coil at 30 watts.

I like the dripping experience and fun, but the amount it drinks is ridiculous, I am glad I home make otherwise I would never be able to do this. I could probably use a nautilus or something, but not a sub ohm tank or dripper, I just get through too much.

Once you go to dripping, and sub-ohm vaping you will be going through alot more juice than when vaping on a normal tank, I go through anywhere between 20-40ml a day now with dripping, generally in the 70-90w range, but I'm also on very little nic, if any, and with DIY I can afford to go through more.

Same situation here. I was using nic free, but I am now using 1MG for the flavour benefit. It really did make the flavours a lot better, and I am not too worried about nicotine alone, especially with the preventing dementia possibility, I am likely to develop it in later life due to my severe alcoholism (dry since last April the 23rd, my birthday I got admitted to hospital. But being free of the drink is the best present possible really.Just not the seizures and withdrawal, they were NOT fun. )

So it pretty normal when sub ohming then, I am going to try some dual microcoils at a lower wattage to see if that makes a difference. I am going to try that out now.

Ok, I have 1.2MM 0.3 Ohm dual coils-they are 0.3 because I forgot to account to double the wraps, as I wanted 0.6. 0.3 works great at 25-30 watts though. It also provides plenty of vapour (for me) and DEFINITELY drinks far less juice. This is ideal for taste testing and flavourchasing, which is what I am mainly now doing, I have my velocity setup as a triple 3mm coil beast, and my el cabron with dual Micros to use less juice. Also, the micros are very flavourful, it seems more so than the larger coils.

I did go through a stage of using 2MM, I think I might go back to that, as it is a balance of power -you can use a fair amount (Up to around 60W) and flavour.

Ok 19 5 second pulls vs 3 before re dripping with the micros. Glad the el cabron has a huge juice well, I can drip without constant refilling!

This is at 30-35 Watts-40 is-the max I think it tastes OK with micros, The clouds are obviously smaller, but still fair sized.

I was previosly using 60 watts-so obviously this makes a huge difference, the halving of power and the smaller coils.

I will definitely be keeping one tank set up with micros, another with 2MM coils, then the velocity with 3MM coils, I shall call that one a heavy drinker from now on. Bordering alcoholic that velocity is lol.

Sorry to say I don't know of any solution to the juice consumption. As was said its the way clouds are made.

I drank for a good many years. Been off the sauce now for just over 5 years.....I don't miss it at all.

To answer your question I go through about 7.5ml per day now with my Atlantis .5 ohm coil vaping at 25w. 3mg nic here and have not got into DIY juice ...yet. Going nic free is certainly attractive though due to the savings from not having to buy nic base.

Congrates on being free from smoking but more important congrates on being alcohol free. I have been clean and sober for going on 18 years after being an addict and alcoholic for more then 30 years. And 5 years smoke free.
Oh yea almost forgot..... 10-15ml per day.

I burn through 30 mils or more a day.

If I had to buy my juice rather than DIY, I'd be broke as a joke.

RDA or RTA, I still burn through 30 mils of juice every day.

Ok I usually average about 10, but hitting 15 made me worried I was overusing the device, but seeing people go through double makes me know I am fine. I have had to get a drauft excluder for my door-for some reason, even with my huge window open wide, and my small window open, it fogs up the ENTIRE HOUSE. Lounge, kitchen, toilet, all have vapour in them if I am really chucking clouds with my door shut.

I got a draft excluder that goes at the bottom of the door, I was using jogging bottoms tucked under the door, but the draft excluder works well. Just my room now get super vapey and foggy easier. Not that I mind lol.

Dripping I can easily go through 30ml of juice. But I'm more in sub tank mode with temp control these days. That's putting me closer to 15ml per day with constant vaping

5-6 with a lung hitter. 8-10 with a subtank, 12-13 with a dripper.

I don't drip, just not for me! But, in my tanks I usually go through 5-10 mL a day. The lower the ohms and higher the wattage the more juice. I don't know how people who don't DIY afford it. I mean even a "cheap" 15 ml bottle of juice is between $5-7. That would be a lot more than I spent on cigs. I was a pack a day smoker and around here that was 4-5 bucks a day.

Since going straight DIY I blow through probably anywhere from 15-25 ml per day depending on what I'm doing.

With my dripper, I only go through maybe 4-5ml/day on a typical day @ 3mg... If I'm out at night I tend to vape more so I might go through 10ml/day on a given weekend day. I'm thinking about cutting down to 1.5mg and seeing how it works for me; I didn't have much issue going from 18 to 3, so what the hell right? It costs me about $1.60 to make a 30ml bottle on average, so I'm definitely saving compared to what I was spending on the stinkies..

As for @conanthewarrior , I have found that the coil/wicking does make somewhat of a difference. For instance, I was constantly running dual coil builds a while back and they definitely drink up the juice faster than a single coil build will. Also, different coil diameters, wicking techniques, wire gauges, etc will have a little of an impact on how much juice you use, but you just kind of have to play around and see what works for you. Right now, I'm running a parallel 26 gauge kanthal build (single) at about 55w and I find it to be a good balance for me between flavor, vapor, and juice consumption.

Wanted to add, I'm a DIY'er s

Agreed.

My personal opinion is, anyone who uses more than 3 mils a day, I don't understand why they aren't DIY'ers. It not just about getting off stinkies, but expense too. If you quit a 5 dollar a day habit only to spend 5+ a day, you haven't gained much more than your health, and even then that's not guaranteed.
 
I go through about 8ml a day, but I can't vape in my office at work (I do stealth vape some). On weekends it's more of course.

It is hard for me to say since I drip and hop to different juices throughout the day (4-5 different juices). I know I go through a buncha Japanese cotton though! DIY juice, here I come!

Perhaps only using 1mg is why you vape so much to get your nic fix.

Its about 20 to 30ml a day for me between tanks and dripping.

I am between 5 and 20 mls a day. I have gone as high as 40 mls in a day, but times like those are very rare.

I mainly use a lemo 2 and subtank mini and average anywhere from 15-25ml per day. Lower end of the scale if it's just a normal work day and upper end if it's hectic or if I meet up with friends after work. If I wasn't DIY'ing I'd be seriously broke.

I'm good for around 30mL per day on average. I've hit about 50mL a time or three. I use a variety of devices throughout the day and I chain vape like there's no tomorrow! I'm glad I DIY, otherwise I'd never be able to afford my hobby!
