Your terms are fine. VG can clog a carto more quickly, although my husband is using 100% VG and he's having less clogging issues than he was when he was using 60pg/40vg. Maybe he's just getting better at the whole vaping/maintenance thing. Dunno... 
VG doesn't wick as well as PG, but again... my husband is using the 100% VG in a carto tank and he's having no wicking problems at all. I'm actually rather surprised as this is a fairly thick VG.
I get about a week out of one carto before I toss it. I could probably get more, but I get tired of flavors after that long and I don't like to store cartos that I'm not going to be using a while, but that's just me. You need to make sure you keep them constantly wet though to get that kind of life out of them. I've heard people say they can get a month or more out of one carto.

That depends on how much you vape ,I usually go by the flavor and vapor , if either is off to me I toss it! And yes VG is harder on cartos .
Yes, flavor and vapor determine the useful life of the carto. You'll know when it's time to toss it.
Hi River Rat and welcome to ECF. Generally juices are 70/ 30 PG/ VG or 80/ 20 PG/ VG. The VG is very thick and if there's too much it may clog the carto. It also depends on the quality of the carto. Make sure when filling to shake the bottle of juice. Carto will last approx 1 week BUT it's very important to keep it wet and the first fill is very important- make sure ALL the filler is completely saturated.
Vg= Vapor
PG= Th, Lung Hot and enhances flavor
Nicotine= TH, Lung Hit and our need for nicotine
Good Luck, Vapoor
Remember to drink lottsa water as dehydration is an issue with new vapers.

You're welcome, Good Luck and keep in touch. Here's an Ecig dictionary:

Atties can last for weeks if not months. You just need to treat them right. I prefer cartos, too many dry hits for me with atties. I am atty challenged.
LOL YOU'RE atty challenged? I know absolutely nothing about attys except to test juices and ya see you just taught me something and I thank you for that
you can clean out your cartos to get extra life out of them although they drop in performance
some people have posted they get a few weeks out of them
I used to clean, now i use them for a week chuck them. i feel that how much i spent on analogs per week i can afford a 1$2$
fresh cartomizer

Not all cartos are equal.
I had some of the DC ones for tanks that were garbage from the get go.
I switched to boges and they are much better.
I just tossed one of the resurrectors out today that got a stiff draw and it lasted close to two weeks.
Like anything else, its a coin toss sometimes I guess.

That's so interesting, I was wondering why I was getting dehydrated. Any reason in particular for that?
Hi kristinz84. The vapor comes from our bodies and not the juice. PG and more so VG "traps" the moisture from our mouth, throat and lungs thus the vapor. I drink 2 large glasses of water in the a.m. and 2 liters per day. Realize also if we drink more than 4 cups java that brings additional dehydration. I used to drink 10+ cups per day and have now cut back to 2 regualar and 2 decaf. Dehydration among vapers is a common problem and if not addressed can lead to issues and a lessening of the vaping experience.
Happy New Years, Vapoor,.

That's really good to know! Sorry for the late response. I kind of got lost in posts. I'm going to start drinking a lot more water. I've learned that the higher nicotine levels mixed with 20VG/80PG hurts my throat so bad. I'm trying the 30/70 combo with a lower nicotine level to see if that helps.
