How many Cigarrettes does a Disposable CARTO actually EQUAL?

Okay, I'd love to hear your opinions on the matter -

1. How many Cigarrettes does a ONe Disposable CARTO actually EQUAL?

​

We've all seen the ads from BLU, GreenSmoke, Vapor4Life, VOLT, njoy - you name it, they all offer the basically the same .8ml to 1ml carto and claim "ONE CARTO equals a whole pack of Cigarettes..."

I've seen countless threads where folks mock that claim - and personally, I have found that a single 'standard' carto equals nowhere near a pack of cigarettes... It's closer to five cigarettes in my experiences...

So I'm curious, what have you found?

How many Cigarettes does a standard 1ml disposable Cartomizer actually equal for you?

I think around 10-12 cigs if well-filled and someone is willing to run one down to the point of singeing it? If you are vaping prefilled cartos, they are not the most filled cartos because vendors don't want people killing auto batteries with leaks etc. And it depends on how someone smoked and how long their cigarettes were, how big their mouth and lungs are, how big the drags they take are, whether they are using the hotter cartos or cooler ones etc. I have a fairly small mouth and I don't take huge drags, nor did I with cigarettes. Note - I have seen some people who do think that one lasts as long as a pack. It really depends on how you smoked and how you vape and how well filled the carto is.

I use manual batteries, keep my cartos damp with suitable juice and get 7-10 days use out of each, so figuring that way, one is equal to 10-15 packs.

DoorMouse nailed it. There are so many variables, but even with the variables there's no way that one carto equals a pack of analogs. A new vaper can make it last quite a long while, but they're not dragging and inhaling it like a traditional they're used to. Shoot, when I first started my first cart lasted a good 6-8 hours because I couldn't take huge drags or inhale deeply because my lungs were too sore from too many years of tobacco abuse. Today, that same cart might last me 2-6 drags (if that many). A cigarette is something like 10-12 drags if I remember right and those drags are strong with deep inhales and exhales every 2 seconds.
