I've read that it's good to switch to a new cartridge on a weekly basis. Does anyone have experience to suggest whether this is really necessary? What's the harm in not changing out carts for too long? Is a weekly replacement really a good guideline? Thank you!

Usually when the cartridge stops giving off vapor I switch it. Sometimes it won't even last a day.
I don't usually use carts because it's a hassle. I either drip, use a "no-filler-cart-mod", or use a cartomizer.

I've heard the same, but I use mine until they start to die (usually 2-3 weeks) and it doesn't seem to create any problems. Though I keep several in rotation; if I were using only one it would most likely die within a week.
I'd say you can switch them out as often or seldom as you like. You can just take the stuffing out and rinse it and the empty cartridge in hot water, then squeeze out the stuffing inside a paper towel and stuff it back in there and fill-er-up again. Switch once a week or a couple times a day, as long as you clean it out and reuse it then it won't make a difference unless you find that it performs better when it's fresh....
The filler can get a little tired (burned, matted down) and need to be replaced, but unless you melt the cartridge (or chew it up) beyond use it doesn't have to be changed out. I've used the same cartridge for months now with no problems. The plastic will absorb strong flavors, though, which makes a cartridge about useless for any others.
