How fast are your cartomizers needing refilling?

[madglee]

I have the V4L premium, pre-filled so far. I was a pack a day smoker for maybe 18 years with some quits in there, somewhere.

24mg made me feel weird throughout the day, currently at 11mg. I puff on it pretty often. I've been making an effort to only use the same cart so I can see how many I use and it seems to be like 3 a day.

Pretty quickly, the cart starts tasting less like, say, coffee flavor, and more like burnt nastiness. I've read the threads on it needing refilling, or getting too hot, etc, but I can't imagine it's running out that fast, is it? I started this coffee cart at 8am and it's now 1:10PM.

Maybe I'll try the turbo carts with eliquid.

I go through about the same, three in a eight hour work day. I'm using the V4L premium empties and am using juice from another vendor. When I get home I top off the cart and they are ready to go.

Hmm okay, maybe that's normal then. How many times do you fill a cart before you notice the atomizer is fried or it doesn't taste as good? Should get my ejuice today.

I find that I can refill my carts anywhere from 5-20 times before they need replaced. I do boil mine in between flavors to get them clean, which shortens the life. (I know there are other ways to clean them, I just like doing it that way).

To your previous question. I was a pack a day smoker and I went through around 3 pre-filled carts a day. I have noticed when I refill them I only go through 2 a day. (I assume that's because they have not been sitting around drying out). I have also found when I used "cheap" liquid my carts lasted only a short time. I've been using a liquid from another vendor and it seems to be working out really well.

Where's the cheap liquid from versus the good? Or is that against forum rules. PM me with that if you can.

There is a great forum section on liquid reviews. As with anything there are many opinions. I suggest you order the smallest quantity you can to start with so you get a chance to try the different flavors and find what works for you. There is also plenty of discussion regarding pg v vg. You will find what you like through a bit of trial and error. If you do end up with things that you don't use , the

Where they claim a cart is equivilent to 1 and 1/2 packs of cigarettes is WAY off. To me, they are equivilent to 4-5 cigarettes. I can burn through 5-6 carts a day. Got sick of refilling so now I drip mostly.
