Smokeless image X2 battery, 3.7 volts, cartos are Smokeless image 808d carts. i only use thin PG juices. VG kills them in a day.

I was having the same problem with Smoktech cartos in tanks. I tried single coil, dual coil, XL, etc.. They would be awesome for 2 days (only vaping that one setup) then a funny taste, then less vapor soon after.

I've since tried Ikenvape Mega 801's SR and LR in two different tanks using them 75% of the time throughout the day. Its been well over 2 weeks and both are as good as new. It's starting to worry me, as I don't have enough tanks to put other cartos/juice in haha

I like Boge cartos, have tried several different ones. I routinely get 10-14 days from each one, mostly at about 5.x volts. I use 3 ohm ones, so this is about 8.7 watts. Keep them wet, they will always last longer. Carto tanks should do this.

Admittedly, by the last couple of days the flavor is down, but vapor production is still good. I use mostly clear DIY juices, usually 80/20.

any other ideas? i use clear liquids.
Hard to say. Might be your hardware. I normally use a Provari but I refused to bring it to the sandbox so im using eGO twists. The carto is a 2ohm Boge and the voltage is at 4.4 volts. I use tanks exclusively so the liquid constantly feeds (you could be letting it get dry and burning it) and I dont risk burning the cartos. I find that the carto takes a couple of days to break in and then its perfect. About 3 weeks in, I give it a quick cleaning by clearing the air hole/coil of gunk with a twisted up napkin in the shape of a toothpick and its good to go for its final week. This is all personal experience.

I have three or four tanks in rotation and have been putting one cart a week in each until recently. I got some funky cartos and I have been using them for a few days and tossing them. A cart a day is cheaper than smoking~~~. I go through a lot of steam. Life has been worse in tanks. Some are crappy and and won't hold juice in the tank. Sometimes I swear there is just a funky taste. I don't use anything that is clear.
