Can anyone tell me how long a cart lasts? My cousin (who turned me onto V4L) said when it starts to taste burnt. Only, I can't tell when it starts to taste burnt....

I notice a slight change in flavor before any burning happens,It takes time to figure out.Your best bet is to look inside the carto and SEE if its damp and lightly slushy looking.I top off every once in a while if it needs it or not!
A new one usually lasts me a day. I try not to run mine completely dry but you should be able to tell when the vapor production falls off.
You use the liquid then? I'm just using the prefilled carts. Can they be "topped" off too?
there's a couple of ways to top off. I do it like this cause I think it's easier:

I find it depends how much you vape as well. Some days I'll get a day or two from a single cart. When the flavor drops off noticeably even if you still have vapor I say its times for change. I have some juice and used the condom refill method on some, but for the most part just stick with pre-filled carts.
Awesome!! Thank you!
So, I'm guessing that you dont have to wait, or let the carts dry out for hours on end before you can use them right?

Do you mean after refilling? I usually wait about 30 minutes before using them, but best to let them sit a while. Like others I made the mistake of trying to use one right after filling and ended up with some nasty juice on my tongue - not fun
It depends on whether you want to attempt refilling carts with juice. For me, it was too much trouble. Alot of people say, you do need to dry the carts out before filling them. Some people have success with adding juice to a prefilled cart. My best advice, experiment. You will figure out what works best for you.
Your loving cuz......
It's soooooo easy refilling them with the condom method. Easy, not messy at all and quick. Good luck, doing this will save you $$$ too, and we all love saving green!
I am still working on my first 808 cart and hoping that I can tell when it's finished. I smoked this all day on my normal smoke schedule and took about 4-6 good puffs about 8 times today and it's still going strong.
Even if it runs out now, I'm happy. Instead of smoking a half pack of marlboro (@ $8 per pack) I smoked probably almost one cart - cost .75!

Well usually it lasts me about a few cigarettes but if I fill the cart and put my blue foam plug in and let it soak the juice and then refill and plug again it can last quit a while
I was in the mall last night and ran across a little stand where a guy was selling e-cigs. He let me try what he had, and showed me how to refill (with his brand of course). He didnt have to let it dry, just blotted the excess off and puffed away...
Not sure that i'll try it though - I kind of like the easy way : )
Thanks cuz!!!

oh, more than that you MUST refill them! (ok, technically you don't have to, but you can just buy a new car every time you run out of gas too, if you like)

I use blue foam and just make a plug seems to work real good and am able to put more juice in only real issue I have so far with it is it leaks a little excess out the side not a big deal I carry a tissue in my kit
I strongly suggest going to the mod (for modification) forum and then the cartridge subforum. In there you'll find different ways to help make the liquid wick into the atomizer better. The blue foam mod was already mention. Personally I like the straw mod. Try a few and once you find one that works for you you'll enjoy vaping more. And your carts won't last as long because each inhale will burn a bit more juice because of the better wicking. It will taste better and give more vapor and throat hit too.
