hello. just wondering if anybody knows IN GENERAL how many puffs of vapor i can epect from just one drop of juice? of coarse i figure that would depend on the mode of delivery, ect, ect...i am vaping from a standard ecig device with a standard cartomizer. i am also asking this in reguards to using a cart with the filler material removed so i can test vape different juices. so if i drip lets say 5 drops of juice in the cart, how many pulls can i expect to get? or one drop equals how many puffs IN GENERAL? thanks!

for me 1 drop is about equal to one nice long puff. sometimes 1.5 or even 2, depending on how large of a draw i want. 1 drop per draw is usually what i take.

this is using a standard dripping atomizer. joye and empire mods are my go-to attys. but the same holds true for my 306 atty. keep in mind that on a new atty or a freshly cleaned out one, the first few drops get soaked right into the mesh and is virtually unvapable at first. so youll need closer to 6 drops for a few vapes for the first load or two.

using a cartomizer, the equation will be different due to how cartomizers wick juice differently. you'd probably get more draws per drop with the filler material method that cartomizers use. most of the "wicking" on atomizers is done instantly, as the jucie makes direct contact with the coil. but in a carto, you rely on the filler to transport the juice to the coil, so you can only vape as much juice as the filler can transfer during your draw.

regarding your carto turned dripper thought, youll likely get leaks with anyhting over a couple of drops. removing the filler and exposing the coil does work to atomize juice, but the carto has nowhere to hold the juice you drip in, and most of it will likely come flooding out the bottom before you can really get a grasp on the flavor. ive only tried this with one brand of cartomizer and i hated the results, but YMMV.
hope that helps.

So far you got from 1 to 4 lol. There's just too many variables to get an agreed upon number. One reason I think my guess was higher is because I tend to take about 2 second draws, while others may be taking 4 or more seconds. Just something simple like that can double the amount of vapes per drop. I also notice that a 901 atty I might get 3-4 vapes but a 510 maybe 2-3.

I'll answer your question with another question: How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?

Well, that depends on many factors. How big the tounge, length of lick, lick delivery system, heat of tounge. In general, if you put a gun to my head, I would have to say 4.

You forgot the number of papillae as well, as this directly influences surface area. Also the amount of saliva, some have drier mouths than others. Mine, I tend to oversalivate, especially for candy. As a kid I used to have to take some kind of pill a few hours before the dentist to dry my oral mucosa somewhat!

Three shall be the number of the puffs, and the number of the puffs shall be three.
Four shalt thou not puff, and neither puff thou two,excepting that thou then goest on to three.
Five is RIGHT OUT.

Bwahahaha! AWESOME! Holy Grail, or one of the other Monty Python movies, pretty sure Grail, right?

Terry Gilliam is my favorite director, by the way ;)
