I get 5 to 7 days from a Boge 2.0 carto. I use 100%PG juice most of the time, but sometimes vape juice with a high VG content. When I do, a carto goes south an a few days. Thicker juices seem to lead to burning of the filler from poor absorption and slow juice feed.

If you use 70pg/30vg or higher in PG, they will last up to a week.

About a month give or take for me, but I also usually have 3 or 4 cartos with different flavors that I switch between throughout a day. I use DC Echomizers and Volt cartos. I think my current Echomizer is on it's last day and has been going for a little more than a month through about 30mL of juice. It also depends on the juice. Darker colors and high VG blends are rougher on cartos in my experience.

I'm pretty .... about how I rotate them. I use all 5 cartos. After filling all 5, I'll put 4 in my case with the mouthpiece ends pointing to the left. The fifth one goes on the battery. Once it's time to swap out, I will pull the left bottom one out of the case and remove the "condoms". The fresh cartomizer goes on the battery while the one that needs refilled gets the condoms from the fresh carto. The carto that needs to be refilled then goes on the bottom right with the rest rotated counter-clockwise. The one that needs to be refilled is placed with the mouthpiece facing to the right. That way I can tell a fresh carto that's ready to go from one that needs to be refilled at a glance.

Forgot to say: I refill them all about twice a day, give or take, and I never ever let them go dry.

Never experienced a taste with hangers at all kemosabe. Try good prophets, they're cheap so if you get duds it's not a big loss, and rob always throws in freebies. Great cheap juice as well.

Cleaning cartos takes little effort in my opinion. And as for dry time I have enough in rotation that I can wait 2 days for a full dry. If I'm impatient I just reverse taryn spin and stick them in a sock, then throw them in the drying machine for a few minutes. Good as new.

The only cartos I've thrown out were victims of my tinkering. Otherwise I'm going on something absurd like two months lol.

im leary about giving Kanger a whirl. theres lots of reports of a gnarly taste you gotta work through.

Do yourself a favor and try those Kanger horizontals. I've gone through several different varieties of cartos/clearos and even the Extremes. Nothing, and I mean nothing, has beat them for vapor, TH or flavor! These little babies are awesome. Have never, ever had one that had any kind of 'funky' taste.
