A question about juice use

[misterhyde]

I know this is probably a dumb question, but I've only ever used prefilled cartridges and disposable cartos, and I'm thinking of moving onto refilling cartridges with liquid to save a little money.

The thing is, how long does a bottle of juice last? I can get 30ml bottles from my supplier, and at the moment a cartridge lasts me about a day and a carto lasts me about a day and a half. I use a 510 with standard size cartridges and a standard atty, and when I've filled a cartridge, I use probably 10 drops of e-liquid.

Like I said, probably a dumb question but I don't really want to run out of juice and have to go back to analogs!

The average vaper uses between 3 and 6 ml a day. You might be a little lower than that though. At least, you're probably on the low side. So, figure 3 ml a day and don't cut it too close.

A cart usually holds somewhere in the range of .5-.7ml (cart=cartridge you push onto an atomizer)
A standard cartomizer holds 1-1.5ml (carto= cartomizer, combined cart/atty screws onto the battery)

So if you know how long a cart or carto lasts you, then you can figure out your own juice consumption from that.

I use more juice when I drip, probably close to 5ml. When I use cartomizer, I only use around 3ml.

A cart lasts you a whole day? Wow! I go through several carts/day, and when I'm using cartos, about half as many. I vape about 3-5ml/day, depending on the day. A 30 ml bottle lasts me a bit over a week.

I agree. If you start dripping once you get the juice, you'll likely go through more. You may want to consider a clearomizer. I recently started using them and found that they get more consistent puffs and better flavor than carts/cartos, and they make using juice less of a hassle than carts/cartos or dripping because they last a long time (XL especially). You do have to be careful filling them and when you screw them onto your battery, but it is worth it.

If a carto lasts you a day and a half, then you are vaping about 1 ml a day. Give yourself some wiggle room though and count on a 30ml bottle lasting about 3 weeks. Make sure you have enough carts/cartos on hand while you wait for your order, and extra in case you have to steep you juice.
