Average Lifespan of your Cartomizers ?

[Tracker II]

I vape about 1 ml per day. A V4L Cool Cart will last about 2 1/2 days before a loss in vapor quality. A Bloog Maxxfusion carto will last me a solid 2 weeks before the same loss in quality. There is a small trade-off however as the Bloog cartos tend to dampen flavors a little bit so if you are vaping an extremely mild flavored juice, it may not be that enjoyable. I personally am gravitating towards stronger juices so that I can save a ton of money with Bloog Maxxfusions.

Well i havent used five but ive had two dual cores that ive had for two months+ a clear and a steel the clear one broke the other day but the steel one is still going strong. The tastes kinda diminished but the vapour and throat hit are still as good if not better than the day i got them

Zoid I put 25-30 on the poll but we'll see. I'm running boge 3.0ohms on my provari at 4.5v and I vape around 3-4mls a day. I have one boge that I've run an entire bottle (18mls) of Boba's thru and it's still going strong after 3 weeks!!!! I have another that's had 10mls of RAWR GPT 50/50 and one that has had 12mls of 90/10 Hype from AVE, both also at 3 weeks!! Great cartos!

How many licks does it take... Oh that's another poll. I do get a lot of variety from cartomizers running time wise. They seem to last longer (5-10) days for me when simply refilling them, 3-4x per day usually. Since I got a tank, and have been punching my own the most I have gotten is about 5 days.(using them about 4v on a Infinity pro typically) They either get a bit funky after that time, or just get gurgly and drippy. I think just being constantly wet with the tank attached tends to wear down the insides of them, when you look down in a new one you can see a nice path for that inner tube , after a few days it's looks pretty closed down. I haven't really gotten any doa ones yet, I did have an incident where I had just punched a fresh one set up the tank, dripped in some juice to get things flowing, thought everything looked just right - but when I took that first hit I nearly gagged and passed out - tasted like smoking a burning carpet. I guess I punched the carto a little too hard and caused some internal injury!

Liberro Realis Cartomizers, although only last 2-3 days if you refill them, have the most fantastic vapour production. Seriously, if you haven't given this one a go - give it a go. Lol.

I've voted 25-30, but some of them last 20-25 the other 30-40 days, but not using just that one carto, but two of them, when one is dry, i fill it and change to the other.

Between BMF and Kanger, i like bloog more but the kanger lasts about more 5 refills. Of course on 3.7V, when i use the passtrough at 4.4V the kanger cartos last me for about 6 to 10 refills. Love these cartos.

Generally, about a week.

I voted 20 - 25 days....I use Smoktech dual coils in varying oms on my Provari in a big daddy tank. Most last a month before losing vapor production. I have one that is 3 months old and still going. There is the occasional dud right out of the box so that is why I voted like I did.

They last me a long time because I alternate them with Giant cartos.

Usually a week before I find the flavor is not what it should be. Nothing like a fresh carto

Thank you for this poll. It has helped this newbie a lot! I've only been using cartos for a month, now. I fill with the condom, using DIY juice, as well as vendor juices.

Out of the 50 ordered, I've only had three duds so far, and have used about 25. All 25 are still working, just have different flavors in them. I top off when it appears a little dry or flavor diminishes. No sign of TH or vapor diminishing yet. However, I rotate 3-5 flavors in the average day, and have not stuck to one particular carto for a whole day. I did NOT vote for this reason.

Boge LR 510 and Resurrector (Smoktek?) 1.7

This is a good question. Mine last me for quite a while. I have never really kept track of how long mine last me but I would estimate around 1-2 months.

 

[ogredog]

If I vaped like I smoked cigs, say 10-12 puffs 20 times a day my cartos (especially the boges) would last a month no problem.

...but I chainvape a lot so.....at least a solid week....carto drip if u will

It can range from one day (if its dark and thick or just a bad carto)-2 weeks if its thinner and clear

Also should be noted I don't clean them, sure I blow them out sometimes but I don't boil them etc.. If performance drops or it gets cloggy I chuck em. If one lasts 4-5 days that's like 50 cents a day versus 5-6+ for a pack of cigs im happy

Perhaps this has been done before but I couldn’t find it.

Anyway, I am very curious what is the AVERAGE life span of your cartomizers. For the results to be somewhat correct, you should have used at least 5 cartomizers so you can tell what the AVERAGE life spans is.

Of course, you can still post a result even if you have used less than 5 cartomizers. The ECF police will not kick down your door a seize you PV if you do.

At least, I have it on good faith that they will not.

Depends on the juice and the PV and the carto. Some juices kill a carto in 2 days, some "magic" cartos have lasted me over a month. If I make a mistake and whack the voltage/watts up too high a carto can be ruined instantly (horrid burnt taste never leaves). VG vs. PG ratio, how particulate is the flavor base...etc etc etc...
