This is my first post. Im waiting on my 510 and had some questions. I searched but couldnt really find the answer. How long does a fresh new cart last. Also I want to do e juices. How long should a 10ml bottle last. I only smoke about 1/2 pack a day. Thanks for the help.

I can make a fresh cart last between 15 min to more than an hour, depending on the MG content of nicotine. As I top them off, they become less effective(hold less/wick less). I was a 2-4 PPD smoker though. 10ml will last me between two and four days, depending on the MG of nic.

Zoe, there was a reason you couldn't find that answer. Only you will know it after you know it. I know, not much help.

I smoked 3/4 PPD. In the beginning I went through 7.5ml a day at 36mg. Now I'm at 5ml a day at 30. Now some of this is because I smoke American Spirit Non-Filters and the rest is how I vape and my waste. (Waste is the juice that never gets vaporized due various things.)

Now, I've seen folks who smoke 2 PPD go great on 3ml per day at 12mg.

There is such a huge difference between smoking and vaping you may as well as how many gallons of gas equals a bale of hay.

So, after you get your PV and juice, order more juice, but try different flavors and strengths. Only you can find what works for you and how much it takes to work for you.

15 min total drag time or just sitting around vaporing? Thats what I get confused about.

If I sit there and Vape and Vape and nothing else, 15 min.(chain smoker here). I get at least 30-40 drags out of a factory cart, sometimes more.

How long does a glass of water last you on a hot day?
How much of it will quench your thirst?

That's why there is no answer, just like one of the other posters said. It varies from person to person.

Enjoy when you get your 510

Thanks.
I ordered 24mg e juice. I think that might be to much. So I can dilute it down with the Propelyene Glycol right?

Depends on the time of day for me.

When I wake up it's coffee (but lately sweet soda) and chain vape. I fog a full cartridge in about 30 minutes.

It slows down considerably after that. In the evening a full cartridge can last 6 hours.

So it depends on your vaping habits.

Yes... you can... most retailers sell low nic or no nic juice for mixdown.

24mg turns me green. 18mg is good. I can go lower in the evenings.

Or, you can just get some VG at the drugstore, 6oz for $3 at wallamart.

 

[darkling56]

Oh gosh, I am on brain overload..........TMI to process......LOL

Yes... you can get USP grade of both (must be USP) at a drug store.

Walmart has a brand of VG (or so I seem to remember).

Someone else would have to tell you who sells what.

Yes, and yes you can mix VG with PG. Most juices are a mix of VG and PG.

Walmart.com: Humco: Skin Protectant Glycerin Usp, 6 oz: Beauty

You can buy the same juice in a 12 ml and mix equal part to get a lower nic level. 5mill of 24meg juice added to 5mll of 12mg juice will give you an 18 mg juice.

Formula is Equal parts of two different nic levels (Ad the nic levels and / in half)

I use this to make morning juice and afternoon juice.

If you cut it with just Propelyene Glycol you will dilute some of the flavor, but I have done that and it does work. Make small batches for testing.

Hope I could be of some help.

 

[LowThudd]

Nope. Sraight VG is what I use. You don't "need" PG at all...or VG for that matter. It's a matter of prefference. Some people preferre the "Throat Hit" of PG, while others(like myself) prefferre the flavor delivery capacity of VG. Also, some people have an allergy to PG. I myself am a bit sensitive to it, so I try and get mostly VG or all VG juices. But a little PG in the mix doesn't seem to bother me, just straight PG.

 

[zoeconner]

Is PG something you could get at Walmart?

 

[LowThudd]

Is PG something you could get at Walmart?

Not sure, I haven't looked for it. VG works fine, try it.

 

[chrisl317]

Yep, Walmart, Walgreen, Rite Aid, CVS, K-Mart, Meijer's etc.
