Tanks Do meter the juice better, so that might help. Helps that you won't vape it dry/burnt and have to toss the carto.
When mine get tight, I just gently push a paperclip up thru it and oscillate it, then blow it out good into a tissue.

On avg I swap out a new carto in my tank every other day. By then the polyfill is really tight ( I refill using a syringe) and the draw is also starting to tighten up too much for my preference. I figure that cartos are cheap enough that there is no need to suffer thru a less than stellar vape experience, simply to make the carto last a few more days.
I have friends who use their cartos for a week or more and swear they can't tell a difference till then. But, that's never been my experience. It may be that I have always vaped mainly coffee or cinnamon blend juices and they only use fruity flavors??

Clear and thinner e-liquids will last longer. Darker and thicker e-liquids will last shorter.
I've been using primarily Ikenvape cartos in my cartotanks (Platinum & 510-Fusions). 50/50 pg/vg. I can get 30 ml with a darker coffee flavor; 40 ml or more with a clear menthol or fruit flavor.

With cinnamon sugar, which went through coils and cartos faster than any other juice....I got maybe 5-6ml per carto.
On average, I seem to be getting 10-15mL per carto with other eliquids.....lasting about 10-15 days

I could be wrong because I havent meticulously tracked it but I don't seem to be getting anywhere near 30mls per carto. Seems like I'm getting 15-20mls. Ive been using the IKV Platinums (lo res) and mostly 50/50 medium colored (not dark) juices, vaping at 8-9 watts. Hmmm...?

That's normal.
30mL seems like an awful lot. Even in the IBTanked brochures/instructions that comes with the tanks, they say around 10mL per carto is average.
There are many factors that play a role in how long your cartos last. Carto Resistance, proper priming, how many volts are used, which e-liquid is used, etc, etc.
Anywhere from 6mL-15mL is normal for me, depending on the liquid. It just depends on many factors
Definitely flavoring is a big factor. I vape unflavored and change mine every 2 weeks or so. That's 70-100ml. I've gone 2-3 times longer plenty times.
OK...I don't feel crazy anymore! I keep hearing about people that go several weeks on a carto and I'm here hoping to get a week and a half!
