e-juice consuption rate

[acorn54]

am just looking for a little feedback
been at this ecig thing now for six weeks. so far i have used the kr808 and now am using the cig easy elegant, both 2-piece units that use cartomizers.
i am taking about 15 long drags and then i put 15 drops or so in the cartomizer using the condom method.
is this right? is this the normal consumption rate?
the cartomizers soak up the fluid so i guess you use 15 drops for every 15 long drags.
i am afraid of the cartomizers getting burnt up so that is why i top off so frequently.
anybody out there have experiences using the kr 808 and/or the cig easy elegant?
another thing i notice, i am using dekang juice, a cheap juice that costs me 10 bucks for 30ml, and i get a strong flavor taste for the first five or six drags and then taste diminishes rapidly, so i feel myself getting the nicotine fix, but little flavor from the juice. i am at present using 555 flavor.
is this normal?

You can probably push it a little more.

I drip my juice into the top of the carto with the tip out.....can get about 20 drops most of the time....just be careful not to get the juice in the center hole...stay in the filler. When it starts to come out the bottom, you have filled it or gotten some in the center hole. When filled properly, it looks slushy on top. Then I let it sit overnight to soak properly. I do this with many at a time so I only fill cartos once a week.

When chain vaping, can usually get about 20 min before the weird taste or throat ack taste starts....many more than 15 5sec drags...I would say at least 40 or so....maybe more. I spin mine after using to see how much liquid is left. If they don't last that long, they usu have a lot of residual liquid in them. I have sacrificed many of these and found burned filler that isn't wicking properly, hence the residual liquid....but this is after about 8 to 10 refills.

If you use the premium cartos, they burn hotter and last less time and the flavor seems gone very soon to me. The cool carts and the turbo V9 cartos seem to hold the flavor quite well as they burn cooler.

The taste loss is pretty normal - I've experienced it myself. I consume about 20mL over 2 weeks with heavy vaping.

I tend to go through 6ml-10ml a day if I use my Jouneyman but if I use my GGTS with AVS at 7.4v with a HV 901 atty I chew through about 18ml a day lol.

Wow you're hardcore - I guess it's because you use HV. When I do HV I always get enough vitamin N from a few puffs that I stop for a while - with LR atties at USB power I just puff leisurely all day.
