How long does a prefilled cartridge last?

[starzy54]

Hi! my moms first starter kit came in today!!! its awesome and she loves it.
my question is,her joy 510 came with a few prefilled cartridges,how long do they last? and can prefilled be refilled? i would just like to know how many hours she should get out of the prefilled before i have to rejuice them.thanks!

Remember to blow out the atomizer before use and put a 3 drops of juice on its mesh bridge inside the atty and vape that off without inhaling to help get rid of any harsh primer on the atty.

A cartridge? The plastic and stuffing mouth part of a 3-piece e-cigarette? Should last for several cigarettes' worth until it starts to taste dry and should have a bit of ejuice added. If it was well filled maybe as much as 4-5 cigarette's worth of vaping? Sorry - hard to remember how many drags I got out of my first cart before it needed more juice. And I am still using that same cart but with blue foam stuffing.

If it starts tasting dry or becomes harder to get vapor or the atomizer (middle part) starts feeling hotter than normal, then add some juice. Just add 1, 2, 3 drops - whatever will soak in - leaving it just barely moist on top. Depending on how well it wicked the juice that was in there, you may be able to add more. But don't overfill.

And push 510 carts straight on and pull straight off - don't twist

Line up the juice cup and the atty bridge

In my experience those prefilled cartridges don't last long at all, maybe 2 or 3cig's worth when new. But it varies with how you vape. The best advice is to buy bottles of juice so you can refill them when they're done. It's cheaper and really easy. Just pull it off and drip juice into the filler material until it's wet but not flooded.

Yeah i had the common sense enough to tell my mom not to inhale the first few drags to get ride of that harsh primer.dont know how i knew that but i did..i told my mom to let me know when its not vaping as much and starts tasting different.or gets hot.

thank you Guys! this is such a happy day

Happy for both of you. Let us know how things are going.

Awesome!!! Be sure she has plenty of juice. If you got 100% PG to start then that will probably be similar to what's in the prefilled carts. Be sure she keeps her mouth moist by drinking plenty of fluids. Vaping, especially with 100% PG, can make the mouth and throat dry or sore. I recommend trying pg/vg blends - I usually use 70pg/30vg (less TH than 100% PG but smoother and more vapor). Sometimes I get 80pg/20vg. And sometime 50/50 for dessert-like flavors.

A standard 510 cart will last for ONE TO TWO cigarettes worth of 'drags' before needing to be refilled. I wish these companies that say different would quit LYING to their customers.

I'm with Sa. The standard carts don't last long at all. I moved up to the mega attys and carts, plus mega cartos. Both will hold some juice and last a long time.

The Boge cartomizers hold about 1 ml of juice (I don't know how much that is in cigarettes) and I just top it off a few times a day. A box of 5 at Liberty Flights for $7.99.

Nevermind: I misread and thought you were talking about cartomizers.

`What I did right before my ecigs came in my mail, was take 1 real cig, and sit and count how many puffs it takes to finish a whole cig.

Now some ppl do not puff constantly, while only taking maybe 2-4 puffs before putting it out, and some take 5-6 quick puffs, and then step on it..etc..lol

However, I AM the type to puff on one whole cigg a LOT, and didn't realize how many puffs I was taking to finish a whole cigg. I have been known for smoking all the way to the butts (but I always used my TarGuard filter--which actually filters out a LOT of tar :O)

Anyhow, I opened my laptop, and tried to not think about puffing so many times, but I did make sure to count every puff I made..

So...after a few min, I actually counted about 15-20 puffs/drags it took me to finish my Pall Mall (they do burn slower, so that may also have an impact on what KIND of cigg you were smoking)...-my parents smoked Winstins, and those burnt too fast for me in the past..(why I always loved my Pall malls) lol

Anyhooo...To me I've actually have not yet counted an entire pre-filled cart...so what I will do soon, is take a pre-filled unused cart that I have, and every puff I take off it, I will write it down (since I --right now have not vaped too much in some fear of having issues with my nic levels too high in my juices)..so I will see soon and keep you posted. I guess I can start counting on my zero nicotine carts for this...

It may also depend on the companies you buy them from or the size of your cart..I am not sure if they fill them all the way, or how many ml they use when pre-filling...

But anyhow, a real cigg (for me) takes about 16-20...up to maybe 22 puffs. So I highly doubt one pre-filled cart actually contains 22 puffs X 20 ciggs!!! Wouldn't that be nice?
