Is it just me, or are the Cartridges not lasting very long anymore?

Exactly what I was thinking. If they only last half an hour of continuous use, it would cost my husband a millionty-two dollar a month to vape, even refilling them. We'd have to buy his juice by the gallon.

You guys are right... I'm topping off after a half hour; does take me a massive chain vape of an hour to run it dry or to get burn taste; I'm paranoid of going dry so I try not to let it get that far; once you get the burn flavor, it's hard to get rid of and the carto is trashed without a long revival process.

Yes the newer Cool and WoW carts do not last as long as the original KR808D-1 carts, prefilled or "you fill". And I believe that is because they are both lower resistance cartos than the original, although the WOW carts are a little lower resistance than the Cool carts. This lower resistance atomizer design is the reason for better performance (vapor and TH) which is going to burn off juice more quickly (because of more heat). And another side to this is the batteries aren't going to last as long between charges. Having said that, you betcha there are inconsistancies out the waazoo with the manufacturing, but... it's better than the alternative!!! SMOKING!!! This technology is so new, it's just going to take some time for ALL the manufacturers to work out the kinks. Some of you may remember PCs when the first came out in the 80s, what a piece of crap they were, you about had to be an engineer to keep one running. (Now young lads with bad hair doos can do it. LMAO)

A HALF HOUR?? Each cart should last the equivalent of between 12 and 20 cigarettes! Even if you chain-vaped,
they ought to last 3-5 hours.

I've never had a cart last that long.

I've never had a cart last that long.

I know that for me they last about four hours. Lately, though, I have been vaping three flavors at a time....switching off. I seem to be constantly vaping (I am retired and home all the time).
I usually fill my carts once a day on average....and I am awake about 18 a day. Seems as if maybe they are lasting MORE than four hours.

Mine last 3-4 hours a day, but like Sallyem said they dont seem to last as long. I fill them up and when I get ready to vape that one seem it is not lasting as long so I top it off then the taste is different. ( I never wait for the burnt taste to to off) I just fill some carts am hour ago with pineapple and seem like the taste is different not as it was before.

I pretty much top off a cart every 3-4th hours but I don't wait until they taste burnt either. And I use Cool carts fwiw

I always buy cool carts only,,,,,I have notice that some have less stuffing then other,,, they may have alot to do with it,,,, but np here just vape away,,,

Yes for me I buy the wow blanks. They don't last nearly as long between refills. It's frustrating. I'm going through them faster, too... They start to taste bad after a day of vaping when they used to last a freakin week... Ugh. More money for them I guess lol

Looks like V4L is changing manufacturers AGAIN! Honestly, this is getting frustrating. We never seem to get to a place where we know what we are getting. I am a bit ocd and these types of things really upset me. It's like getting your favorite drink but every time you get it, they change ingredients. Quite annoying.

Hope this stuff gets worked out. I have noticed this going on for years now...

Oh, and Happy New Year everyone!

Nope....the manufacturers for the Cartos have not changed.

I use CoolCarts myself and use the same cart for most of the week before throwing out. I never bother rinsing or washing either. Can't say as I have noticed a change.

This is correct we have not changed manufacturers on our cartomizers since March

Is it possible that after vaping vs. smoking for a length of time, one's lung capacity has increased which would pull a longer, bigger draw from the ecig and thus use up the juice faster?

It seems my RY4 carts loose flavor very quick.

The length of your draw will definitely affect how quickly juice is used.

Ive gone through two packs of cartos way faster than I ever have... i dont know if its because Im not switching up flavors as much as I used to or the quality of the cartos are diminishing?

ugh I just cant wait for all the new secret stuff.....
