knowing when to stop

[silentdoom]

I vape all day between classes so i cant fill up or anything during the day, and im really having problems figuring out when a cart is dead. I have menthol ones, and I was getting a strong mint flavor and when i took a peak inside, some of the "cotton" was orange. I cant figure out how long a cart will last

Once your sense of taste starts to return it will be easier to tell. There is a hint of "burn" flavor that I notice, that is when I switch it out to be refilled. Also, if you can't taste that burning taste you will start to notice less vapor and less flavor. I can see how tasting less flavor is hard with menthol, those flavors are really strong.

I always hit the road with one fresh and three refilled. If for some reason something goes wrong, I always have the fresh one to get me through the day.



After a couple of months, you will be a total pro, I guarantee it.

 

[silentdoom]

thanks everyone ill just make sure i take like 4 with me, and the second they taste a little funny, ill switch them

PCC FTW. holds 2 extras and i keep 2 batts one with a new cart on it at the start of the day. I plan on moding my other case to hold more Cartomizers so i can cary a full assortment of flavors Never know what your going to want to smoke later.

Before I bought the XL case i had the first gen old school case. 2 batts 2 carts. I usually take one fully carged batt with me and 6 cartos in that case. sometimes 2 batts and 4 carts.

I'm now mostly back to my case logic setup... tho it's a jumble in there it holds 6 xlong batts, 7 carts and two or three little bottles, cap removal thingie, etc, at least. I work very long days and want it all easily accessible in one place, and some choice.
I use the reg V4L cases when I want to get pretty, they're really nice. And I'm gonna turn the xlong case into something else; if it's gonna be a a jumble I want it to hold plenty. That case is the only dud product from V4L I've had. Too bad because before everything falls out it really seems excellent. I really don't wanna be pulling condoms off of batteries and all. Given the fabulous everything else, I lovingly forgive, but it's a royal PIA.

(I put done carts in the little net pouch inside the case logic pouch)

 

[silentdoom]

just wondering, how many draws should a cart that i just put 30 drops in, taking around a 5 sec draw each time, last?

 

[Darrigaaz]

30 drops is about 1.25 ml of juice.. so it theoretically should last 25% longer than a prefilled one last you. I couldn't tell you how many 5 sec draws that is though, since I draw until the cutoff almost every time.

Alas, there's no answer to that question. "As many as it lasts you this time" is probably as close as anyone can come to a correct answer. There are just too many factors, from your method (are those hard or soft? fast or slow? And what is hard and soft, fast and slow and the infinite variations in-betwixt?), to environmentals, the battery charge, to battery type, to the age of the atomizer, to what I've taken to calling the "caramelization" on the insulating between the heating element and the batting. The list goes on ad-infinitum.

The trick to not burning up carts is to forget about trying to figure out how long they will last and trying to vape them to empty. If you've vaped it long enough to maybe suspect that it just might be getting low-ish kinda then you've vaped it long enough. Top it off or break out a full carto and put the old one in the refill stack.

Otherwise you are wasting a lot of good cartos that seem to last forever if you use them on full instead of vaping them to the burn point.

Personally I don't even really use the plastic tips anymore...I just vape it open and use a condom (cut short for easier on-and-off action) for the "tip". One carto lasts me approximately seventy-kajillion years, though I occasionally choose to drain it and start with a fresh refill if I'm seeing a lot of old or dirty juice in there (old juice tends to gather on the side of the filler when you leave it laying flat awhile and is visually darker than the fresh liquid - when I'm getting a lot of dirty looking juice it is time to drain).

and im really having problems figuring out when a cart is dead

You will know when there is absolutely no more juice left in a cart. There is a burnt taste that makes you want to scrape your tongue with a hatchet...

That's waaaaaaaaaaaaaay past time to stop.
