I don't think a refill of any cartomizer lasts as long as the first fill of a new carto. I'm sure there's a reason, but I don't know what it is. :laugh: You're going to have to keep topping it off. Get yourself a drip tip so you don't have to fool with the little plug. They make drip tips for a KR808 but the drip tips from my ego (510) seem to work fine on the KR808.

I think it is determined by a lot of different factors. vaping frequency, juice type, voltage used, etc, will dictate just how long a carto will last between refills, not to mention the quality of the carto itself. I use the XL cartos on my eGo, and with my vaping habits one carto will last me over an entire day with no problem. I should be getting my Echo-e cartos in the mail tomorrow and I can't wait!

Sadly no one makes a carto that lasts forever. Knowing you will run out, I say try em all over time and see which one ya like best. Thats what I plan to do. Getting my first cartomizers in the mail hopefully by the end of the week. So many styles to try. Ones with wicks, ones with filler material, ones like the vortex the sexy blonde models that cook and clean.. - oh wait.. those are something else.. sorry.. There are rebuild-able atomizers, map tanks, T - tanks, and stuff being invented every day. At least one could say there's enough stuff so that quitting smoking with this method should never get boring. :)

I have had cartos last for 2 weeks. Some only last a day or two. They all still fire, they just get tight and/or lose flavor. Cartos are meant to be disposable.

I have found with darker juices, I tend to only get a few (2 or 3) good days out of one. With my clear thin watermelon juice, I can get 2 weeks out of one.

I fill with 20 - 25 drops (I use Boge 2.0). Throughout the day, depending on how much I vape, I pop off my drip tip and put in 5 or 6 or more drops (top off). The key is to keep em wet.

I have tried several different cartos and I always come back to my Boge 2.0.

Quitting is not an issue to me, I have been off and I have totally forgotten that I have ever smoked real cigs in the past. I love vaping, Its like candy to me now. Tell me more about the sexy blonde models that cook and clean.... :2cool:

we should all band together and invent a sexy blonde model that cooks and cleans :D ill take one in a red head though.. just imagine all the places you could inhale from! :)... but back to the topic and off of my dirty mind
my cartos seem to last awhile unless i start messing arround with them and pulling the filler out. also you have to remember that youll never burn up all the juice before a refill so when you fill it it already has some juice in it.. some kinds of juice will deffinetaly kill them faster though, my caffienated liquid burns up a carto way faster then any of my other juices

I was about to buy some Boges but I choose not to because I could not find any that were clear. For my first trip into cartomizer land, I wanted to see how much of a difference being able to see the fluid made so I can keep it wet.

Do you know of any Boge's that are clear?

I don't.
The only clear anything I tried were clearomizers R5 with the wick. I still have 3 of them in the wrapper. They just don't vape well to me.

I too love the boge 20. cartos. I usually put 30 drops in to begin with and that will last quite a while. After that I top off with about 10-15 drops. I've just started using them a couple weeks ago so I don't have any average time. I also have a bunch of 2.4 cartos but they develop a tight draw pretty quick. I like to use the 2.0 with ego or riva batts with the cone cause it restricts the air flow and gives a bit more resistance to the draw, not as airy. But with the 2.4s I don't use a cone cause they draw so hard.
