Hi -
I take varying amounts, depending on how much omega-6 I eat in the day as well (roughly worked out!). Right now I take between 3-5g pure omega-3.
I have two lots of fish oil. The first is 1g capsules, each containing 180mg EPA and 120mg DHA. I take 12 of these a day, which brings me, I think, to 2160mg EPA and 1440mg DHA. This is my bottom dose. If I eat a lot of eggs (normal ones), olive oil, chicken or anything else high in omega-6, I take more (it's not precise!).
I also have some double dose pills, which each contain 600mg joint EPA/DHA, which I try to save for travelling etc. when I can't be seen popping a zillion capsules. ('Are you alright luv? - DON'T DO IT, PLEASE!') - you get the drift??
