Descrepancy between advertised cartridge usage duration and actual?

[yoshistr]

Hello fellow vaporers,

I was wondering about the lasting duration of the average cartridge on your e cigarette, I use the Smoke Fifty One e cig and for some reason the cartridge only lasts for a few minutes. It is advertised that each cartridge should last about 2 packs of cigarettes (40 cigs) and I bought the 8mg nicotine without flavor cartridges but they seem to only last a little while. I used to smoke about 7-10 cigarettes a day of Marlboro 100s which have 1mg nicotine each so I figure that each cartridge should last about a day. After taking a few puffs it stops working and when I replace the cartridge with a new one it works again. I tried switching back to the old one but no smoke is generated and nothing happens as there is no suction from the atomizer.

Is there a good alternative e cigarette that lasts longer or is better for me?
(I have checked out the reviews but they all seem like good choices such as Gamucci and E-Stik, but I want some personal opinions.)

Thanks a lot everybody and I'll be seeing you around.

I feel your frustrations buddy..... I agree there is a shortcoming on the cartridge side of things with the product that hopefully will improve in the future.

Do some research into smoke juice / e-liquids and decide on a sample pack from someone (I use Johnson Creek) and do a little experimenting with the Smoke-51 before totally giving up on it.

I have given instruction/experience with doing that in your original post (please read it).
