Ok, so I have been vaping for a little over 3 weeks now. I like it alot, and do not want to go back on analogs..

The problem I have is that the carts get too hot even though I take "slow & long" draws.. Then, the carts start tasting bad before they are out of juice.. Like a burnt taste..

My nephews also go through 2 to 3 carts a day for the same reason.. I dont know if I am vaping too frequent and just the juice is burning up normally which is causing the bad taste due to low juice or if I am overheating the cart..

Just when is the right time to top off or refill the carts before it gets to the burnt taste? How can you tell by looking at the inside?

Any tips would be appreciated... I just want to know how long I should wait between puffs and how do I know when is a good time to refill or rinse?

Thanks in advance!

Newb i rotate out between 20/30 carts.

I generally just take 2/3 drags per cart and then switch. But all carts are not created equally. some i have to rotate out after just 2 drags because of the "heat" generated. When im on the go I have 4 batteries i take with me with 4 different carts. That way i can take a few drags from each and not have to worry about any one cart getting overheated. I rarely load up will all the same flavor as i find that i need alot of variety in my vaping.

Knowing when a cart is about to run out is really just an experience thing. The more you go thru the better you will be able to tell when they are hitting the point of no return. For me the flavor drops off ever so slightly and at that point i refill or store for later use.

I just rotate between two cartomizers, one on my PT and one on my xl battery. I just take the xl and an extra carto when I go out, although I have yet to go anywhere for more than a few hours.

When I vape I do very long slow draws, send the first to my lungs and immediately do another, basically a double draw. I can do about three of those then the carto needs to cool for a couple minutes. I'm sure it's individual with each person due to how different our draws can be.

Are you using only prefilled cartos or both prefilled and refilled? Is the issue the same with both? Just asking to see if we could help you tweak your refills if they are the issue. I rarely top off, I prefer to vape them until they are done and just refill in the evenings so they are ready to go again when I want them.

Both actually. I cant really vape them till they are done because the taste is bad.

How long do your carts last when rotating?


For me personally they last between 4 and 7 days. But i have 20/30 open at all times. Some carts/flavors get used more than others but that is generally how long they last for me. I generally dont have a problem detecting a change in flavor and rather than try and get a few more drags off a cart i just go ahead and change out. Im thinking what i do might not work for everybody but it works for me because i have a couple hundred carts waiting in the wings.
