How many Drags?

[ka7ple]

I am in the process of getting a Joye 510 kit. With the standard out of the box pre-filled cartridge, how many drags should I expect to get before I have to refill? I understand that it depends on how I vape, I am just looking for a ballpark figure.
I also understand that using one of the mods like the PTB mod, you will get more puffs out of your cartridge?

Thanks,

I would say ballpark 10 to 15 @ 5v. Really sucks when your driving and need a refill.

Your 510 kit will come with a 3.7 volt battery and it's hard to say how many "puffs" you may get from one pre-filled cartridge, but a rough estimate is to expect about 10-12 cigarettes worth of vaping from one. Once you've been vaping a while you will be trying many different cart mods and pretty soon you'll be measuring your usage more in milliliters (ml's) of e-juice. The average seems to be around 2-3 ml per day for most, some vape less and some vape more. One ounce is 30ml.

Keep in mind that there are many variables involved with vaping which you will learn as you go. The most important thing is to give it your best try and hope for the best. There are just so many advantages to vaping over smoking and there is a significant learning curve.

We're all here to help you along the way. Good Luck!

I would say about 5 satisfying, long drags for a pre-filled cart. Doesn't matter how many drags or how much juice you will go through a day... buy juice with your 1st 510! I just bought the kit and quit for 2 solid days then ran out of carts and had to go back to analogs, yuck. Be safe and add $5 worth of juice.

Actually i'd say it depends where you get the 510 prefilled carts from. From my personal experiance however, you should be getting about 25 drags off it before its dry. However, with that being said, dont let your 510 go dry. Keep the cart nice and moist as much as possible. Switch out from the standard filling to either the Pyramid Teabag stuff or look for my post on using metal mesh...i'll be reposting it with detailed pictures as soon as I can manage to find my memory card adapter.

Hrmmm I got at max 7 drags, but I do long 8-12 sec drags, maybe cart can't keep up with my new found lung power after being off ciggs for 21 days now

When I first got my 510 kit, the pre-filleds actually lasted me a while. They lasted almost the whole day for me. I could not say how many puffs, but I took a "cigarette break" just about every hour and puffed until I was satisfied. However, when I starting refilling I was not getting any where the amount with the polyfil . I was lucky if that would last me two breaks. Then switched to the PTB mod and again I get a satisfactory amount of time. I usually go through two or 3 refilled PTB carts a day. I don't usually top off either, just vape until it starts to taste dry, then switch out carts.

You draw like I do. (Someone told me I drew for 20 seconds but they are the type to add drama to everything.)

Prefilled carts, gave me between 5-7 good draws. Still think the taste was horrible, but it was good enough to tell my 510 could work for me.

Echo the ordering of juice with kit purchase. Would recommend getting various flavors and strengths too. I ended up disliking everything that sounded good and liking the ones I bought to see if they really could make a flavor that weird. It also took me awhile to find a nic strength that would work and had to have different levels for different parts of the day.

I tried the PTB cart mod and it adds to the number of draws per cart and helped flavor. Currently using the blue foam mod which I find less "fiddly".

Hope your dad does well with his PV.
