In the interest of science (lol) I just pulled a factory filled (TW ) 510 standard cart out and did a count chain vaping. I got 25 8 second drags until the vapour and taste dropped off to the point where you'd need to refill the cart. Cigarettes give around 10 drags if I remember correctly. As pointed out above, there's going to be variations based on liquid base, atomizer type, battery charge (impacts temperature of the atomizer), but that should serve as a rough guide. I'm using a TW brass ring 510 atty with an eGo battery which should be the same as a freshly charged regular 510 battery.
 
I feel like I'm having to fill up my 510 carts all the time. Seems to me like I'm only getting about 5-10 puffs maximum then all the flavour goes. Sometimes if I rest it a while, I can taste flavour and have good vapes for another few turns but I am filling up the cartridges more than I expected to.

Just browsing thru this forum at other postings and came across this one by SCOTTYBALLS:

I'm off to try this now because it seems like it could be the answer to all my problems and I agree that often the filler still looks well soaked just at the bottom ends but not getting through to me!

Just off to hunt in the kids school bags for a suitable pen to take apart hehehe!!

If one were to fill up an empty cartridge with juice, and use the Joye 510, can you tell me about how many drags you can get before you have to refill the cartridge? I'm curious.
Thanks.

My experience using a 510 atty on a 510 battery, with straw and Aqua Clear foam insert as the cart mod, should yield anywhere from 50 - 60 drags.

I consider a drag to be a 3 - 4 second draw.

Forgive my stupid question but what is straw and Aqua Clear foam? I too use a 510 atty and 510 battery. I'm somewhat new here.

Yep for me its the same - the 510 factory cart lasts maybe 5 flavorful puffs and after that its gone. The 901 on the other hand can last me maybe 10-20 puffs.

I am amazed.

I was reading this thread earlier and was interested. I took a brand new cart, used the Highping foam plug method, filled with 12 drops, and ended up taking about 64 3-second drags before they started getting weak. Wow.

I guess I will be using a foam plug.

I have actually had the 5-10 drag-per-cart problem before.

I can only assume that this may change with different liquids, etc, but I am REALLY pleased with 64 drags from one cart!

I am somewhat of a noob here. Can you tell me what is the "Highping foam plug" method? I also have a Joye510 and have the same issue of losing flavor quickly.

I took a couple of days trying different things here to make the test since I’m getting different results despite my drags are a mix of a prime short drag (1 sec) and the main long drag (7 sec) I take both drags as a single.
I use a 510 with prefilled, new filled my me, new with blue filling and new with PTB mod. Most often, when I fill, it requires between 9 and 12 drops so for my tests I used 10 drops to be consistent.

The last puffs are normally “drier” than the rest and I stop when testing burn.
All this numbers were gather using the same juice. When using different ones, the numbers can be totally different. I have two Benson and Hedges flavors, both taste really close, but one gives me more puffs than the other. When using coffee flavors, my numbers are constantly reduced between 7 and 10 puffs (not trying prefilled cartridges). I yet have to try VG, all my liquid is PG only.
