Hey guys and gals, I had this on a few cartomizers now. On a fully charged battery, and the passthrough, I get less smoke than a different flavor I have. Was wondering if maybe the juice settled or something, and is there a way to fix it?

Can they dry out eventually if you don't use them? These ones were newly ordered though.

I've also had ones (another different flavor) where I inhale normally and get a drop of juice each time, those I can use on the passthrough though since I don't have to inhale as hard. Is there a fix for that too?

Thanks

They are from the menthol sampler pack, I somehow got 2 of the Cool 18 in it, and both are about half the vapor of the other ones in that pack, and the others I have. The flavor is still strong though.

On an unrelated note, v4l gave me a chocolate milk freebie cartomizer, and I was amazed at how much it tasted exactly like it! Is that flavor discontinued? I haven't seen it on the site.

Cools usually have less vapor. My mother in law uses the cool, and she usually has very little vapor. I can not say anything about the taste though, since I have not tried them.

I know vapor production varies with each line, each flavor, nicotine strength etc, but the problem I'm concerned with is the duration of the carts. Some seem to last a lot shorter than others. Am I getting bunk carts? Are some batches bad?

There are so many variables to this certain equation:confused::vapor: Your carts last varied to begin with, as no juice is "created equal". As you even said with each line, flavor, and nic strength. Even more so varied upon your type of use, for example Heavy/Moderate/Light. Equally arguable, as one's heavy use, may be anothers light use.

My assumption, is Premium carts, produce more vapor, and with that, use more juice. Having no use of the WOW flavors yet, i would assume those to be the same, unless the juice is formulated with the aforementioned concept in mind. As has been stated, it's not new carts, but new juice.

All i can say is that i have been using STRICTLY V4L since i began using vapor, in the beginning of February, and NOT ONCE has a cartomizer or juice performed sub-par. There have been flavors that i don't care for, but seen threads from different people raving about them. I guess it just gos to show, what works or is good for one person, isn't good enough for the next sometimes.

From my personal experience, and old, "regular" style cart would give fair to medium vapor, and last ALL day, a full 12 hours. Yet a premium cart would last me only around 6-8 hours MAYBE, before needing to be topped off. I currently use mainly premium only, and each carts duration has never been an issue. But see, this is me, others have completely different experiences, because we are after all, human, and different in every way. :2c:

There are many different variables. You might be dragging longer, vaping more frequently, refilling differently, using higher voltage, drawing harder etc. I don't think they are bad, but the simple answer to this question is

Made in China

Have no fear! Vapor4life has their people over there working to improve things unlike any other company! In my humble opinion they are doing a pretty fabulous job. I love these cartomizers! Some even last me half a day! :toast:

I'm aware of the variables deadman and that they are made in China Kimmy but I guess I should have been more clear. I have also noticed differing lifespans within the "same" carts. My bananas fosters carts from my current order seem to be running dry quicker than the bananas fosters carts from my last order. All premium, all 18mg...all made in China :|.

I'm aware that you are probably aware they are made in China:toast:. But you basically just answered your own question in this post. There isn't really an in depth reason why, but rather a whole bunch of reasons. Maybe one day you are extra stressed and vape more, resulting in the carto drying out faster. Maybe one day you are extra busy and don't get the chance to vape as much. Perhaps one batch is a tad bit older than the other and needs topping off. Maybe your in the mood for more vapor and end up drawing longer. Maybe the particular battery you are using is newer or has a better charge. In the end, same result..made in china and many different factors.:thumbs:

Very well-worded explanation, Kimmy, to a question that has no real answer.

I will chime in that I , too have tried the "Cool" menthol flavor cartomizers, and my first reaction was that there must be something wrong with them, because there was literally no vapor upon exhale! There was a normal amount if I did not inhale, but if I inhaled and tried to exhale any vapor at all, nothing. I was disappointed only because I loved the flavor and throat hit, and lung hit of the flavor, but without the exhaling vapor, I was sad, so I never ordered them again. I'm just one of those people who needs it to feel completely satisfied. But on second thought, maybe ordering the juice in high nic, and adding a bit of VG ....hmmmm......
