Using Smok Tech Dual coil Mega 510 Cartomizer LR 1.5 on a 3.7 Volt and am still on my first one for 6 days. Just cleaned it out this am- took 25 mins- boiled and sucked/ blew with oral med, immediately threw some juice in and it works like new although it doesn't hold as much juice as a new one. Have only put dark Tobacco juice 35 ml X 30 mg 70/ 30 PG/ VG through it.

I found that for the first filling of a carto it was important to use a blunt needle and over overfill the carto at the batt end and then blow the excess out. Also fill from the top. I tried many, many ways of filling and cleaning and have found the way that works for me.
I was wondering do some juices give out more of a TH hit and vapor then others?
I'm using 1ml standard resistance cartos and PG juices with 20% or less VG and no flavoring sediment. I'm a moderate vaper using about 2-2.5ml per day. And these numbers are JUST using those 2 cartos to vape - no other cartos or dripping. And these are how long I would be able to use the carto if I only used the ONE carto.
Boge 510 (used on 510 3.4v, and 3.7v Riva and mods) - 10 days of great use. If I want I can get 14+ days though after 10 days the performance is reduced. However my cotton still goes white when the juice is low - the carto is nice and clean.
KR808D-1 (3.7v) - Vapor4Life WOW carto of Bloog carto - 7 days of great use, sometimes a few more days.
And I am telling 1/2 of how long I get because I alternate vaping one of each. I carry both models. So realtime I actually get 3 weeks on a Boge and 2 weeks on a KR8 carto splitting the use between the two.

gsiudut - yes.
PG - thin, lets through the most flavor, nicotine TH, nicotine irritation, makes thin vapor
VG - thick, dulls everything PG lets through, makes thicker vapor
Most people use blends, and you vaping method may determine how thick a blend you can use

I use extremely light colored juices from velvet vapor (i think its a 30/70 VG/PG blend) and my SmokeTech 1.5 DCC last me forever, upwards of three weeks, no cleaning whatsoever. The dark juices i do used though cut the life down to about two weeks for me though.
Yep, if you're gonna compare carto use its got to be done in ML's otherwise its not a valid comparison. I can tell ya in honesty that many of my cartos have lasted me 4-6 weeks BUT thats mostly only using them while I'm driving or out and about with ML usage abt 40ml.
I go through 3-4ml a day and get a week on average. The last couple of days, I begin to think about end of life on a carto. I use Boge 510 LR with 100% pg and 70pg/30vg juices.
Darker juices are more likely to be sugary or thick. Either and the carto will die sooner.
The initial filling has a lot to do with life. I saturate mine with the method shown in the video below. From that point, I top off, and occasionally use the video method again.

Life of cartos is a crap shoot. I've had cartos pop the coil in 1 use, and I have cartos that have been refilled 15 or 20 times. Dark, sweet, heavy juice will certainly kill a cart quicker than light ones. I use Fluxomizers, and I clean them, not because I'm concerned with the 2 bucks cost of a carto, but because I enjoy it. I have juices that will require cleaning every couple refills, or the coil will get so gunked up, it's beyond cleaning. But some of those flavors are so good, it's worth it.
