E-juice volume vs. puff count
VAPING
Why e-juice volume matters more than puff count when choosing your vape
Walk into any vape shop today and you’ll see numbers everywhere — 20 K, 50 K, even 80 K puffs! The puff count has become the new marketing buzzword. It sounds impressive, but here’s the thing: it doesn’t tell you the whole story.
The real number that matters? How many millilitres (mL) of e-juice your vape actually holds.
1. Puff count is just marketing math
That “80 K puffs” label is based on lab-perfect conditions: tiny puffs, low power, and consistent airflow.
In real-world use, puff length, draw strength, and device wattage all affect how fast you burn through your juice.
So while “80 K puffs” looks exciting on the box, it’s more of a best-case scenario than a guarantee.
2. E-juice capacity tells the real story
The mL rating (usually listed in small print) is your true indicator of value.
A vape with 18 mL of e-liquid will always last longer than one with 10 mL, regardless of puff claims.
Think of it like your car’s fuel tank — puff count is the “miles per tank” estimate, but mL is the size of the tank itself.
3. Not every device uses e-juice the same way
Coil design, airflow, and wattage all change consumption.
- Mesh coils deliver rich flavour and dense clouds, but they use more e-liquid per puff.
- Lower-wattage devices use less juice, but offer a lighter draw.
That means two “80 K-puff” vapes might taste and last completely differently — depending on what’s inside.
4. Transparency matters
In the Canadian market, packaging laws emphasize clarity — but not all brands are upfront about their true e-juice capacity.
At Casa Familia Cigars & Vapes, we make sure our customers know exactly what they’re getting.
When you shop with us, we help you compare devices based on e-juice volume, coil type, and battery efficiency — not just flashy numbers.
5. The takeaway
If you want value, flavour, and consistency, look at the mL — not the puff count.
An 18 mL vape will outlast a 10 mL every time, no matter how big the number on the front of the box is.
Because when it comes to vaping, puffs are a promise — but mL is the truth.
