If you are getting about 3 cigs worth of puffs, then you are doing pretty good. That is probably about average from my experience.
If you want something that looks a little more like a real analog, then you might want to take a look at this. The Safer Way To Smoke - RN4081 Super Kit I have a 4081 and I really like it. I also have a 510 that I use a lot more, but I still like the 4081. It gives a nice smooth hit and never gets harsh. It does not produce as much vapor as my 510, but in my opinion, its still a pretty good unit. I Think its probably similar to the 401. The batteries also last for at least a few hours, where my 510 lasts an hour at the most.

You will need the juice as well that comes with the kit. Pre filled carts just don't last that long and are kind of expensive. With the juice, you can just refill your carts as often as needed.

So what's the difference between the 410 and the 510 and the one I have? Should I just try and stick with mine and buy liquid or make my own liquid? The Npro seems like it lasts good for like 1-3 cigs that's it. If the 410 and 510's are better i'll get one of those kits instead. I'm basically looking to be able to smoke cheap right now with what I just bought and buy some liquid. Is filling these ones and maintaining them going to be just as easy as the 401 and 501?

When you fill it up yourself with liquid on average what's the avg amount of cigs you will smoke if I am getting 3 right now with a cartridge.

I also get about 3 cigs per refill.
If you don't want to spend a lot more money, just use the one you have and keep refilling it. Eventually you will need to buy more atty's, juice, batts and carts. But for now it should do you just fine. In my opinion, all ecigs are pretty simililar. Some vape a little lighter, some give a little more vapor etc. etc. But from my experience, in general they are all pretty good.

3-4 is about right, that's what I get out of my Npro, and also the RN-4081 model that was suggested, is what your Npro is. Generic RN-4081 parts are much cheaper than parts directly from Njoy. My Npro is my daily, and although a cart will provide 3-4 cigs, I usually top my carts off right before I smoke, for maximum flavor and vapor. That's just me. Here's the link to your model specific forum, lots of info, including links to places that sell double carts for the Npro, and all the parts you'll ever need for it.

Ya so thats why I'm just wondering can i load it up with a bunch of liquid and be set for a day. like 1-2 refills with liquid a day?
Plain and simple, the answer to this question is no.
The closest you can get is to use a cartomizer model like the KR808D-1 or GreenCig.

And I STRONGLY recommend reading the thread linked in my signature below.
It addresses a number of your questions.

The smaller the electronic cigarette, in general, the smaller the cartridge.
The smaller the cartridge, the less juice it will hold.

The same goes for batteries.
These are the rules you have to live by.

Your NPro has a relatively small cartridge.

I just got my 401 and I absolutely love it. Great vapor. Awesome throat hit. One big difference between the njoy pro, and the 510 is the bridge of the atty is recessed. The 401's and 601's have an exposed bridge. The bridge is the wire mesh looking part of the atty that absorbs the liquid from the cart.

I don't know if you have tried dripping or dipping yet, but it works great for me. Dripping is were you drip the liquid directly on the bridge of the atty. Most atty's can hold 2-3 drip and you get great vapor. It's about the equivalent of one cig (10-15 good puffs depending on your atty).

The exposed bridge atty's make this really easy. In fact, that's what dipping is. With an expose bridge atty like on the 401, you just dip the bridge into a small pot of juice and done. I use little plastic paint pots with snap lids that I got from the hobby store (I got 20 of them for $1.99) I keep them on my desk with an assortment of flavors ready to go. I use them in the car too. I got some little circular velco strip and I stick a pot in a convient spot. I don't even have to look and it takes less time that opening a pack of cigs and lighting one.

The 401 is a vapor monster, as far as mini's go it's one of the best that I have ever had. (I have had 3 different types) I don't even use carts anymore, I pop the cartridge cup with the filler right out and use the body of the cart as the mouthpiece.

Carts waste juice, dipping doesn't. Just don't overload it. It's easy to tell.

As far as usb passthroughs go, they are great in the car too. You can pick up a lighter adapter for like $8. Then you don't have to mess with batteries while you drive. I'm in my car all day for work, so it's a lifesaver. And I can save my batteries for when I'm in the office.

Here is a site that has really good deals

electronic-cigz.com - Ultra Electronic Cigarette Kits, Juice, Supplies

He ships from Canada, so it takes a day or two long that US distributors, but he has a nice passthrough for the 401

Here is another good site to get 401 stuff (no passthough though)

dietSMOKES.com

Hope this helps. Good luck

PS. The 401 really cooks!
