One 30ml will last you one month, you should not be refilling more then once a day really, if you do a complete fill. I have a few flavors and keep 2-3 carts filled at one time, so really the 30ml will last me like 3 months due to that since I smoke 3 flavors I only refill it once every 3 days. But if you get down to it, that's one months worth :)

There is an old Internet proverb, "YMMV" There are people on this very forum who use 30ml every few days. What works for you doesn't necessarily apply to anyone else.

Not true that it is one month's worth. It depends on how much you vape. I can if I wanted to kill a 30ML bottle in a day or 2.

the drops it takes to reach 1ml will vary depending on the dripping device, i have a syringe and filled it with 1ml of juice then poured it into an empty carto condom and it filled it just above 3/4 full. not all empty carto's will take a full ml so just fill it to the 3/4 mark and call it full. when the flavor fades i usually fill with just half a condom full.

Condoms come in different sizes, too, or at least they used to.
I think the 'factory' dosage for prefills is just short of 1 ml (I think).

And yes, the number of drops can be different, I am guessing 30 to 40 drops make a ml, but the size of drops I can easily change from one dripper to another, and sometimes within even the same dripper.

your 100% correct about the condoms, i was referring to the short premium type without the little nubs, i have not done a test with the taller ones that come on the cool carts.

Awhile back, if I recall correctly, the unscientific polling around this subfora determined the average to be somewhere betwixt 2-2.5ml/Day, but reports of 5-15ml/day weren't uncommon.

Drop size is more dependent upon the viscosity of the liquid than the dropper bottle/needle itself. How much surface tension can support before the drop is released is a physical property of the liquid [almost] regardless of how it's delivered.

The angle of the bottle will determine to some extent when the tension will break and release the drop. If that happens before the maximum volume is attained, then the size of the droplet will also be affected.

Hard for the lay person with variously formulated juices to really count upon the absolute outcome.

So it is best to start with aleast 20 drops,taste then add more if needed for the taste and the vape.

That would be a good start. On average most people feel 20 drops is 1 ml, but that's only an average. As Addy points out there are dozens of variables, I might also include altitude, atmospheric pressure, humidity and how steady you are with the container.

Also all solid points!
