Okay, I understand the YMMV theory, BUT...these cartomizers are lasting me, like, FOREVERRRRR. Am I just vaping them dry and too dumb to recognize the signs that they are dry?!? One cartomizer will last me like a day and a half EASY. Maybe towards the end of day two it tastes kinda plastic-y...does that mean it's dry? Haven't gotten a "burnt" taste from any of them yet.

You'll absolutely gag when the cart is dry, no question about it.

I could never answer the often asked question "how many cigs per cart" because everyone vapes in their own personal style. You're getting great life out of a cart, where I can go through 2-3 a day, but I was a heavy smoker too. Some ppl try to measure it by mouthfuls, but I find that just as hard to do. vaping and smoking are really very different.

i get it but at the same time it is good to get a real rough estimate because i was originally told 1 pack of vap to 5 packs of cigs. came to the v4l site going to order, did a little snooping on this site and bumped the order up that is why i ask in your mind what do you think the ratio is. (I not hold you to it in court lol). but thankyou for the info

A regular newport would last me 12-15 puffs or so. A nuport wow lasts me about 130-148 puffs if used on a batt, and 88-92 on the pt. So about half a pack to 3/4. Vaping is different though, with a analog I would take a couple of short puffs and a few long ones, with an ecig mainly long ones. I try to limit myself to 13 puffs then break... Try being a key word...

I have been buying the pre filled smilin premium carts 18' practically in bulk- I had 1 carto in the box that was just nasty - is it possible for a cart to go bad? 1 in the box of 5? It has juice in it, but not sure what kind.
All cartos purchased in the last month and all the same so far but this one. Can you fix it or just pitch it

    Will boiling it get rid of the old juice? Probably just pitch it as I have a whole bucket of used carts that I can use to refill.

    yes, boiling generally gets rid of the taste. Remove the plastic end, put in a pot of boiling water for about 15 minutes. You can let them air dry, or put them on a baking sheet in the oven on a very low temp, like 175 or less. There are some good videos linked in the welcome mat, but you will need to go thru the oldest posts to find them. Hope this helps.

    got one for Keyzy. I noticed in a few other threads that you mentioned using a GLV mod with a 901 adapter. However I have browsed around on different sites for mods, and I've noticed a few advisories about "slotted cartomizers". Anyways my question is have you had any issues with the V4L Cool Carts working with the GLV setup?

    I'm really wanting to get a mod, and I don't know if I can wait long enough for the V4L model to come out. I'm deploying to Iraq soon, and I would like some serious battery life in my hands before I go.

    what do i need to use V4L cartos on an ego, i have a 901 t0 510 adapter and it screws on fine but i cant hardly suck through it, i have loosened and tightened adapter, thinkin i need a 808 to 510 adapter(i heard they are the same) Help please!!

    the V4L cartos are for an 808. I know it's supposed to work on a 901, but try the 808 adaptor.

    I use an adapter on a mod and 901/808D to 510 or a 901 to 510 are the same thing. Whether you hit up Mad Vapes or Good Prophets 808D's are sold as a 901. Most places charge way too much for adapters, but GP sells them for .99 which is pretty hard to beat.

    I don't have any draw issues, but I guess you could drill out the center hole a little. At .99 get 2 and try drilling one out. :2cool:

    Curious to know where you got your adapter and if it's for an 808 or an 808D?

    HELP!

    Up until now I have vaped Wowboy in 18mg only. Since they didn't have 18mg, I bought a 36mg and a 0mg to make 2 bottles of 18mg.

    They just arrived and the 0mg is clear (like Cowboy) while the 36 is orange. I ASSumed they would be the same color. Do they look right?

    Also:
    Received blank WOW cartomizers...black and red. The red ones have individual plastic wrappers...hope that's discontinued!

    Just trying Peppermint in a prefilled 18mg carto....WOW! I wonder if I can handle it! It's like a peppermint patty/hold the chocolate. It feels like I just brushed my teeth. I have to vape this flavor next time I'm in the dentist's chair.
