IKV 510 Cartomizer Gold V2 - Lifespan?

[loft]

I was wondering what the [typical] lifespan of these cartomizers is. I've been using one for roughly three days now, for my daily vaping and I just got to wondering... how long do these puppies last? I've topped it off quite a few times and have never let it run dry... but since I only have one - I want it to last as long as possible... lol

What are your guys thoughts?

I have only tried a few of them, I don't use cartomizers avidly but it lasted me a good three weeks.

YMMV depending on liquid viscosity and sugar content. I can easily run 10-15ml through mine and at times will get one to go through 25-30ml before going stale. FWIW I tracked down that mentholated juices seem to extend the life of cartos.

I have a few going on 30ml one with 60/40 the other 70/30

I'm using a liquid that is around 80/20 (smilin special menthol from v4l) and really hoping it lasts until my shipment arrives. I've gone through about 10ml with it. The tip started discoloring so that prompted me to ask lol

My first one lasted 6 days. I still vape on it; just have to pull harder. I believe my mistake with that one was that I mixed some Vaperite vanilla with my Halo menthol.
This second one that I am on is now on day 10 and still going strong!! I have only put my Halo Truepure in this one.
I plan to be picky about what I put into them. I have some basic cartos that I will put my other juices in, but Truepure is my all day everyday and it tastes great in these cartos.
These are worth much more than the price charged based on the life of them!

I only vape wow555 in mine and all PG as vg gives me headaches but I usually get 3 weeks out of one. I have had some that didn't go as far but that seems to be the norm.

Switched, I'm intrigued by this statement. I use menthol 99% of the time. Boge 3 Ohm 808's only last me 2-3 days (5ml per day average). I have an 801 fusion that I use intermittently going on 2 weeks. I have 10-15mL through this one already and it is going strong. I'd like to here more info about this discovery.

As stated doc YMMV. I roll my own liquids. The cartos that have lasted me the longest were subject to Strawberry and Blackberry menthol. Could very well be the luck of the draw. But on 3 different types of cartos ??

May I ask what kind of cartos? Were they Isaac's or other brands? I like cartos, they are convenient for driving. I prefer dripping, though.
Completely OT, I am an avid hunter and shooter. I strive for perfect marksmanship. Can't wait to see your caliber mods.

Blackberry menthol sounds amazing... I want some. And my last v2 just got stale... Isaac needs a stock update lol

OK I'll explain a little...

I was not a carto guy, period. Then one day Witchesway changed my whole perspective with Isaac's first 510s and here I am. However, I am still not fussy with the KR8s.

Ahh just give them a good flush with hot water. Preferably distilled to avoid all the nutrients

Speaking of Switcher, I hope you don't mind,but I recommend a kind individual to seek you out for "rolling your own" enlightenment. If he will get back to you, I don't know, but he was really serious about learning DIY.

Haha yeah... I should. Actually, I think I have one on another forum I use... now I need to go check.
