How many times can you reuse a cartomizer?

I've been vaping almost 3 months now and have only had to toss maybe a half a dozen cartos. I have a gogo and a kgo and always have at least 2 cartos that I alternate between throughout the day (different flavors...I bore easily). When the draw gets tight I blow them out (put a paper towel on battery end and blow through mouth end) and refill. I also keep my cartos wet and top off often.

When blowing them out no longer works, I clean them by soaking overnight in water (hot to start) or vodka if the juice was a strong flavored one, then force water/vodka through it a few times using a baster or modified syringe to thoroughly clean, and blow it out and air dry overnight. There are lots of threads and youtube videos that explain how to effectively clean cartos.

The ones I've had to toss were clearos with frail tubing that cracked or didn't make it through the cleaning process. I find that a well built carto (emdcc's, black or ss cartos, etc) will make it through several cleanings and vape like new afterwards. I have a few that have gone 'through the wash' 4 or 5 times and are still going strong. :)

Depends on whether or not you're willing to do the work, or if you want the convenience of just tossing them.
