How many puffs?

[Barry Badrinath]

Sorry if this is a recurring thread, but as you can see from my post count I am a noob. I looked through the frequently asked thread and didn't see an answer.
Anyway, was wondering on average, for the KR808D1 carts, how many puffs do you usually get out of each on average?
I know this is probably a kind of subjective question depending on how long a drag you take, what site you order from etc., so if that is the case, can you give your personal experience with them?
Thanks

I have never used a KR8081, but I would assume that like all the others that I have tried, you can probably expect one cart to be the equivilant of 3-5 analogs.

Man, this can become an expensive habit then. Most sites charge about 9 to 12 bucks per 5 pack of carts, that would be like 15 to 25 cigs per pack of carts.

Don't rely on the carts for juice. Buy some juice from one of the vendors here like Welcome to NHaler! you can get a 30ml bottle for under 20 bucks. Then just refill your current carts. A 30ml bottle will probably last you 3-4 weeks. Thats a lot less than buying analogs

i agree the juice to refill you carts is the way to go. way cheaper. buying cart packs is nice to get stocked up on some carts but to save money you need to get the juice

Very true.
So carts from the 808 are refillable?
Is it really as simple as most make it out to be?

also remember that a puff from the vaporizer gives you more than several puffs from a reg cig depending on what nicotine level the juice is. i have started on 36mg nicotine and if i take 3 puffs in a row i have more than satisfied my urge for a reg cig

yes i am on my third day and it is very easy. when cart gets empty i add 3-4 drops of juice till the cart is fully saturated. you do not want liquid standing on top of the cart filler material. think zippo lighter. you want it wet but not dripping wet

Yeah, that's why I was wondering how many actual puffs are in each cart and not how many real cigs they are equal too.

Some sites claim up to 300 puffs per cart, which I don't believe, but many claim on average about 100 to 150 IIRC.

Was wondering if at least 100 puffs per cart was a fair estimate to expect out of each cart?

I have never counted puffs, but I would say 100 would be the max

it really depends on how deep you puff. nobody does it the same. i say get your cart and see how many puffs you get. when you know how many that is and how many puffs you do in a day will give you a good indication on how much juice you will use. i use about 5 ml a week so a 15 ml bottle should last 3 weeks mabey less if i have a heavy day

a trick i have learned is that if you get some vegetable glycerine and add a drop or two to the filling process you still get the flavor and use less of the juice on a cart fill. i add 2 drops of juice then one drop of glycerine and one more drop of juice. let it sit about 2 mins to mix and soak the cart ( i stand my on its end ).

it does add a tad of sweetness to the flavor but i like it that way. you also get more vapor. i got my vegetable glycerine for a 1.99 at hobby lobby and it is a 59ml bottle. it is the wiltons and it is in the cake decorating isle. this will stretch out the juice some as well.

I haven't got my e-cig yet, I am getting it as a Christmas present, so I will have it, well, on Christmas, lol.
I guess I'll find out then.
Thanks for the info though.
