When I first started vaping, I would burn through a meager 2-3ml per day using a basic Kanger tank (KPT2 or KPT3-mini). The dual coil burned a tiny bit more juice, but I quickly grew to love the flavor of the dual-coil. As I have progressed, I've gone from 1.8-2.2 Ohm coils... down to 0.1 Ohm quad-builds... and today I'm perfectly happy with my Subtank Mini using a 1.2 Ohm coil at 15-18W. I still burn through about 30ml per week which is not much more than I did when I first started vaping, but when I was sub-ohming, dripping, and experimenting with coils... that is when I started making my own juices... because I was ripping through 90-120ml per week, and at $15-18 per 30ml bottle... that was getting too expensive... cigarette expensive

Today is an anniversary of sorts. One month vaping with two weeks analog free. Cravings are few and far between. Easy to dismiss as the memory of all the problems with that habit are still fresh. I have learned a lot in the last month. Greatly due to you folks here. It's hard to imagine myself as an analog user as my thoughts have shifted to the next flavor, mod, etc. I would like to try. The frequency of epiphanies are slowing down as well. I have also discovered that I am rather proud of my new habit, to the point of being eager to show off my equipment. That sounded lewd, lol, but you folks know what I mean.

If you're going to produce more vapor, you will go through more eliquid. There's no way around that. Me, personally, I prefer not to sub-ohm because I don't care for the warmer vapor. My coil resistance of choice is a 1.8 ohm coil in an Aspire Triton 2. The eliquid I use is 40 PG/60 VG and makes enough clouds to fog up a small home office when I'm chain vaping. That said, when I create that much vapor, it stands to reason that I'm going through much more juice than "normal."

Hey All, I got a notification about the FAMILY TREE NOW website that is putting your very private information all over the web. I looked into it and chose to opt out. I'm very cautious with my personal information and was terrified that anyone could gain access to my addresses and such for the last 10+ years including my current one. Here's a link to the article from Military.com and towards the bottom is the instructions on how to opt-out. Thought I'd share because it's scary especially if you're a single mom with teenage daughter. It really freaked me out that this was out there.

More clouds = more ejuice Using higher VG content ejuice will help produce more cloud, however, higher VG juice requires a setup that can wick high VG AND, in my experience higher VG juice (and sweeter juices) tend to foul coils quicker which means more coil costs. I want to point out that AIRFLOW is key to maximizing clouds too so your set up should include adjustable airflow as a way to maximize cloud production. Still, the bottom line is, you want clouds, you need ejuice. It's just like your car - you want speed, ya gotta step on the gas.

If she is waiting for a "perfectly safe" option, you could point out that breathing is not "perfectly safe". You never know what is in the air you are breathing. A little extreme, but does have a bit of truth to it, especially if you live in a city.

There's a ton of articles from the UK and other sites like Natural News that you can use to help convince people. Sometimes just giving them the gear with a bunch of different flavors to try does it. For My son and his wife, I got them both Joyetech ego AIO's and an extra box of coils and about 15 different flavors and put them in stockings for Christmas. In their card I linked to different youtube videos that explained how to work them. Then I left it alone and didn't say a word until they called to say they tried it and enjoyed it..So I told them when they've been off analogs for 3 months I'd buy them the gear to upgrade if they wanted...It worked Sometimes inaction is the best action....

Your posts are refreshing...Yep, I was there just 7 months ago and I still share your enthusiasm ....watch out or you'll wind up buying vape gear for everyone you know who still smokes analogs to get them to share your success . So far I've converted both of my sons, my daughter in law and a couple of neighbors and currently I'm working on my sisters boyfriend LOL Congratulations on your vape-a-versary

It's a great hobby that has something for everyone. That's the fun of it. I enjoy watching youtube videos too especially when I'm looking for something new or want to learn more about something I have but haven't fully figured out yet. It can be a great resource if taken with a grain of salt since vaping is subjective to a persons taste. I've found that the opinions are as varied as a mixed bag of Jelly Belly or Bertie Bott's jelly beans, and that's what makes it fun

I am going through about 5ml per day with the Joye eGo & Joy eGo d16. I vape casually all day and the battery for each lasts about two days. I was going through only 2.5ml daily with the Bekuali pen at 1.8ohm. Thanks for your input everyone. Also learning a lot about vaping through YouTube, google and online searches.

Another consideration is battery life. The lower the resistance the greater the current flow. In an evening of blowing clouds vaping under .5ohm, I can go through an 18650 pretty fast. Good to have another battery on the charger. When I'm out and about this is a consideration.

Yep, sad but true...The higher the wattage the more juice you blow through. @Adversarious1 can tell you about the baby beast tank and higher wattage set ups. From his posts he says the coils last quite awhile but it does go through the juice if I remember right. Personally, I prefer to sub-ohm, but I build my coils most of the time, keeping them around the 0.3- 0.5ohm range, and vape around 35W. You can opt for temp control and keep it cooler. No matter what though you're going to have to adjust your juice budget if you're going for your current sub-ohm upgrade. I have an AIO that I use to run to the grocery store with and it uses very little juice compared to my other tanks. For juice, I prefer either 70vg/30pg or max VG juices and go through about 30-40ml a week , more if I'm stressed or bored as I tend to grab my mod more... and yes it can fog up the office in record time if I'm chain vaping LOL I think you'll enjoy the SMOK 45 and Cubis pro tank, it's sort of a "middle of the road" set up and the cubis pre-made coils in SS have good flavor have different wattage options so you can experiment. No matter what...Just have fun with it
