How many do you use?

[ChristopherCoy]

How many cartomizers do you typically go through in a single day?

I've been carrying around 4 with me, that I've refilled a couple times, but I'm trying to get an idea of how long they should actually last me, based on others experiences.

It depends on fill level, which varies from vendor to vendor. The V4L prefilled cartos have a lot of liquid in them, seem to me like 12 - 15 cigs' worth of vaping.
When I fill my own, I typically get more like 8 cigs before I need to top it off, but then I vape a lot and am not worried about really packing the most possible liquid in -- I carry 6 ml bottles of juice w/dedicated cartos in little ziploc bags.

carto lifespan is different. I run a day or two worth of use from a given carto before it's normally time to clean or toss. I'll use one of a couple of simple cleaning methods, dry them, and do a test -- if they're clean, take the new liquid well, great, otherwise it's time to toss.

I use 1 LR510 and refill it with about 5 tiimes a day, and carry 2 new spares in case of emergency.

I use an 801 cartomizer from MadVapes that initially holds about 40 drops. I refill it throughout the day with an additional 10 drops at a time as I sense the TH has diminished a little. On average these 801 atomizers last a week or a little more before they just stop working. (7-12 days) I use one flavor during the day and different flavor at night, so they are being used continuiously for about 8-9 hours during the day and I am a heavy vaper. Also, I use them on a 5 volt PV so there is probably more stress on them in comparison to a 3.7 volt PV. How long do most of you find your cartomizers to last before you pitch them?

I've had originally bought a 5 pack of empty cartos from Volcano when I ordered my Inferno. I initially filled three with some JC liquid. Of those three, I am still using one, I tossed one because it seemed that it wasn't working at all since I was just sucking the juice back out of it no matter how long I held the button, and the third I tossed because it had a heavy burnt plastic type taste. The fourth carto I filled with a non-nic flavor, but barely use it. And the fifth I've just started using now. The funny thing is, of the five that I've filled, only one works in at a superior level. The other four were either mediocre, or have been trashed.

I did purchase a pack of 5 carto's from my local vape shop, but these have the polyfill in it, which I wasn't used to. They seem to work a lot better than the ones that I got from Volcano, but it seems that I am still trying to figure these things out.

For the most part I use V4L prefilled that I top off 3-4 times a day, mostly I’m paranoid about running them dry. I rotate between 4 flavors and the cartos last about 2 weeks before I toss them. I have a horrible habit of biting on them so after the two weeks is up they look pretty junky.

Every now and again I’ll get one that only lasts a few days before I end up tossing it and the blanks I fill myself can last around 1 month!

I vape constantly, I work from home, using only V4L batteries and 18 mg juice.

Been using the same 3 ce2 xl carto for about 3 weeks now and they are all working great. I fill them about once a day, one is almost always on my pt, other on my ego, third one on my sidshow battery. Had some of the old style carto(materal stuffing) that only lasted about 2 days each before they became impossible to get vapor thru. Ce2's will be the only ones I'll use now.
