I think 20-25 for Wow and 30ish for cool... I'm not positive though. I'm sure Snow or Morandir have the right answer though!
I say 25, spin em to get the juice down. Some get 30 in the cool carts. Some rumor has it someone got 40 in the cool cart but its like finding bigfoot?
Ciggy sir that is the age old question. A drop is somewhat subjective due to the fact not all drops are created equal. The real answer is 1ml can go into a wow, 1.2ml into a cool (used a syringe to reach those measurements). Snow sir has done a video showing 25 drops was the max a cool cart could take, but technically you could get as little as 1 big drop, or as much as 1000 micro drops.... 
I don't use WoW carts but I get 30-40 drops in my coolcarts....drops meaning I turn the bottle upside down and what drips out is a drop
I have a magic cart that took 50 on the first fill...he is now in my hall of fame!!!
YMMV

Um, don't go getting snippy with The Master Idiot aka Morandir, little ciggy. His answer was exactly precise and correct. He was trying to be both helpful and humorous. I thought he succeeded. Unless I misunderstood your response, his answer apparently went right over your head.Apologies in advance if I misunderstood you. Emoticons are often helpful!

Bigfoot was sited again!
No problem Ciggy sir....
Lady Eleanor and Ms. Jbmcdan it's ok, he's only calling me what I am.

On the fresh coolcarts, I pop off the white thingie, drip 20 drops in, let it settle for a minute, drip some more until it's soaked, Taryn spin lightly, and top it off again. Usually between 34-38 drops for me.
i didn't mean to offend morandir with my remark, he is a plethora of information on these forums and he has answered a lot of questions that i've had. i was just saying that cuz it says that under his name =P
Drops are about a useless unit of measure, I got a dropper that's 100 drops/ml, I got a garden hose that's 5ml/drop, and every size in between, So your question is how many drops, Miss Cleo is not in town to say what size dropper you got, but there is one sure way, called a syringe, most reg cartos hold 1ml + - .1ml, While most mega size cartos hold 2ml +- .1ml, And a ml is a ml whether 1 drop or a million, still a ml. If you use drops your guessing if it's full, with cartos you only get 1 try at filling it, if you guess wrong, your going to scorch it , just might as well throw it away then, knowing it's full, is much better then guessing.

Frankly, I'd say that the above is going too far with the "drops are a useless unit of measure" and "if you guess wrong, your going to scorch it , just might as well throw it away then"
If you want to get all scientific about it to the point that it's functionally irrelevant, the by all means, do so. Unfortunately, at that point it ceases to be a useful comment and turns into a "look what I know" kind of thing.
Considering the context and keeping extraneous details to a minimum until the relevant information is given goes a longer way toward helping the person than giving every alternative situation available.
I'm going to go out on a limb a bit here and assume that the OP is using his/her bottle that the juice came in to fill the carts. The opening of the bottle is the same size as the opening on my V4L bottles. The fluid is of a fairly consistent viscosity (yes, some flavors and vg juices are a bit thicker, but for the purpose of this thread they're statistically irrelevant) and most people will drip with a pressure that allows one drop at a time to exit the bottle , so the pressure applied will be effectively even as well.
Considering that the opening, liquid, and pressure are all relatively even, the drop size will be relatively even as well. Since the drop size from one of the V4L bottles is effectively consistent, it very much can be said that number of drops is a good indicator of how much liquid is going into a cart.
Since it was originally stated that the OP was filling Wow and CoolCarts, mentioning "most mega sized cartos..." is irrelevant and simply clouds the issue.
Considering how tightly the cart is stuffed affects how long it takes to become fully saturated, as well as how much fluid can actually be held as well, you could go on all day about how hard it is to tell exactly how much will fill a cart.
I'm not necessarily jumping on the above poster, but I know that when I'm looking for information such as this, I'm looking for a general range from users who are using the same type of stuff that I'm using. I get annoyed with explanations that take the original inquiry off the reservation by trying to toss in every variable. It's not a stretch to assume that someone asking "how many drops" is using the bottles the juice came in, and that the drop size is going to be similar.
How about something like this: "Assuming that you're using the original bottles, most people average X-number of drops, give or take a few. If you use a different filling method, then you'll have to experiment on your own to find your proper range"
If I read a few comments like that one and most of them were in the range I was getting, then I'd have a pretty good idea that I'm in the ballpark. If most of them were saying, say 30-35 and I was barely getting 20 or so, then I'd have an idea that I may need to look at how I'm filling my carts to see if there's something I should look at adjusting.
All of the above aside, trust your eyes. Pop the soft cover off, fill with x-amount of drops, give it a light Taryn spin to make sure the juice has settled in the far end of the cart, and top off and repeat as needed until a light spin still leaves a lightly saturated look on the top of the filler. Count the drops it took to do so. Now you have a good general idea of how many drops it takes you to fill that cart. Done.

So simple I didn't even include any Audio:
If I told you that I have a 16 ounce glass that I can fill with 24 ounces of water would you believe me?
Not everything needs a Taryn Spin either, it is only needed on the occasions when you happen to get a Carto where the polyfill is so tightly wrapped it does not absorb juice by simply dripping alone. I'd go as far as saying you never need it with Wow Cartos as this tight-wrapping exclusively occurs with Cool Carts.
