Sometimes I get some that don't last as long as they should, it does happen.
Here is something you can try that will often bring them back to life...
Remember the game from childhood where you filled a bucket with water and swung it around...centrifugal force holding the water in?
Well...you want to do that with your carto...so the force packs the liquid close to the atty inside.
Find a sock, baggy, or some kind of tube on a string...anything you can use to make a sling and keep the bottom end of the carto pointing down. Cap the bottom end of the carto where it screws on the battery...drop it in your sling, and spin it several seconds....
If that doesn't help...you can get some e-juice and rewet the carto filler...keep it wet till the atty either pops or the flavor starts getting off.

Yeah when it is drying out, just put in some more juice to keep it wet so the filler doesn't burn and ruin it fully. I am finding out that these disposable carts can last a decent amount of time if you keep them "lubed" 
The spinning info was for cartomizers aka cartos, not for carts. And I don't spin. I just add more juice.
Carts push onto an atomizer. Cartomizers aka cartos screw right onto the battery and do not use an atomizer. Cartos hold 2x or more liquid and are disposable and last a week or so if kept damp with juice.
Carts that push onto an atomizer can be reused almost forever if you clean and restuff them occasionally but they hold less juice and are a bit more cranky. Prefilled carts often have very little eliquid in them and they do not give the number of drag lying rebranders claim.

Yeah you definitely aren't going to get the number of puffs of a cartridge as the marketing claims.
As suggested carry about a small bottle (10ml or so) of what ever juice you like and top it off occasionally, if you have a manual switched device (ie. no air hole for juice to leak in to the battery housing) you can also drip a few drops directly into the atomizer. Heck I mostly drip and just keep the batting in the cartridge damp to avoid dry vapes on the atomizer.
The bright side of this is that buying juice is much cheaper in the long run than buying pre-filled carts.

Thanks everybody,
I am new to this and I don't know a lot about e-cig.
Still I can not get a lot of smoke out of this stuff. Is it supposed to be like that or am I doing something wrong? I mean, does this give as much smoke as a real cig or not?
Cheers

I have found that I have to take a longer drag on my PV to get the same amount of "smoke" as a reg cig. if I take a 'regular cig" drag on my PV I get almost no vapor. taking a longer drag took some getting used but now its no big deal.
