I'm taking 100,000 iu a day, I know about the risks and will stop in a month. Also what is the best time in the day to take it like 2 pm or it doesn't make a difference.
I take 13 pills, each 8,000 iu total 104,000
THAT'S TOO MUCH!!!
According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_A, you can poison your liver if you take more than 15,000 IU a day.
Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin, it is not water soluble. The excess does not get "flushed away", it gets stored in your fat cells, and can build up to toxic levels over time.
You say you "know the risks" but really, is risking your liver worth it??

Are you taking just one pill?
It depends on how many pills you are taking.

You should split it into 2 or 3 doses because your body can only metabolize so much at once. If you take it all at once, you will only metabolize (and therefore use) only a portion, and the rest will be flushed out of your body as waste.
