I'm using a 1.5 ohm dual coil (3ohm) cart on my Vamo. I'm not sure if it's the official Boge brand or not. I'm running at around 4 volts, going through 3-4 ml/day and I'm on day 11 of my current carto. I am starting to notice a little bit of drop off in flavor the first couple pulls before it gets warmed up but once it's warm, it still works perfectly fine. I may change it out this weekend or see how long it will last, depends how motivated I get....

I use 2.5 ohm (Ikenvape) and 3.0 ohm (Smoktek) single coil cartos in my Hoosier Vapes Elegance tank. I've been using ***** *****'s Ecto Plasma juice in mine. I get 5-6 tankfulls out of each cartomizer in this tank.

Much will depend on how thick or dark the flavors that you use in any cartomizer. The actual tank makes no difference, it is just a juice reservoir for the carto. The darker and thicker juices have more particulate matter in them that will clog up the polyfill material faster, causing either a stiffer pull when vaping, or a major decrease in flavor.

Tank has nothing to do with it. Nor does the power supply(if used properly)
Length of time is dependent on:
Build quality
Amount of e-liquid used
Contaminants in the e-liquid to cause build up on the coil and in the filler.

With identical Carto setups a clear e-liquid could last many tank fills longer than a dark e-liquid.

I think the life of a carto also depends on your vaping "style". I use 1.7 ohms and 2.0 ohms single coil cartos in my tanks on my Vamo, usually set between 6-8 watts, depending on the juice. I guess I consider myself a heavy vapor, for I tend to chain vape often, and go through about 5-6ml of juice a day for the most part.
My cartos tend to last 3-4 days till they start to have a little burny taste. I switch them out, and have cleaned the used ones. I have gotten a few more days after cleaning them. So, all in all, I get about 7 days out of each cart after a cleaning after day 3.

Hope this helps you out :D

There are a few videos on Youtube that explain different ways to clean out a cartomizer. PBusardo is one user to look up, for he has very good videos for reviews and tutorials regarding vaping that are both entertaining and informative. His method for cleaning is boiling the cartos in water till the juice is cleaned out. There are other videos that use an oral syringe to basically squirt water thru the carto till it is clean. Vaporyankee is one to look up on youtube, he uses the syringe/turkey baster method, and is quite funny to watch, but very effective as well.
