carts. How long do they REALLY last?

It seems I was not using my e-cig correctly and was going through my carts way too fast. Now that I'm actually using it right (with fiber touching atomizer) I am realizing the old ones which I'm glad I saved are not actually empty. I understand there is no guarantee on it because everyone vapes differently and whatnot, but I'm wondering approximately how much people get out of thier carts before they are truly emptied. I can't imagine they would last as much or close to a pack of analogs like they all claim.

Also depends on your kit, my 801 is a juice HOG. On my days off I can go through 5mg of 16mg juice. But I tend to waste a lot, still working on finding more efficient ways of doing things. And I've been having wicking problems which I think I may be solving as we speak by adding more cart filler. I'd say if I didn't waste so much, I probably vape 3ml a day on average. A 30ml bottle last me around 10 days, but I haven't really kept track of it until lately so mileage may vary. Just get plenty of juice and when you get down to 50ml or so, order a bunch more. Or click the link in my cig and get a liter and be set for a whole year.
 
Time for the age old question... how many cigarettes did you used to smoke?

I smoked about 3-5 per day.
I think a 30ml bottle will last me about three weeks.


Wow that's a lot less than me. Normally I will smoke between 1 and 2 packs a day. Closer to 1 lately, but mostly because I can't afford to smoke more.

Another point of view:

I gave up topping up carts after a month or so. for me it was too messy and involved. I just drip from a 5ml sample bottle. I use a 901EM and an 801. The 801 with the narrow bridge does tend to leak a bit at the seams but I still find dripping to be better than the rigmarole with cart stuffing.

I've been vaping for about a month now, starting with a SmokeStik. It didn't seem that the cartridges (the regular ones, not the premiums) lasted that long. So I ordered the "expensive" Greensmoke, which did seem to last longer. Then I happened across a counter while cleaning out a drawer and decided to do my own test. For the SmokeStik, I got around 150 puffs; for the Greensmoke, about 350 puffs. However, I should say that the flavor on the Greensmoke diminished well before the end of the cartridge. (So now I'm ready to try the topping off method to keep the flavor.)
