I do have a question. How long do yalls prefilled cartos last, ive been vaping on mine hardcore since yesterday, granted I changed the flavor every now and then for a few hours, how is it still vaping lol, no burnt taste, still plenty of vapor, I thought these only lasted the equivelent of a few analogs?!(Only asking because I'm still new and everything I have read said these cartos last less than a day and no I haven't refilled any yet)

A carto is roughly the equiv of a pack of smokes according to most descriptions -- I think it is closer to like 15 cigs. I was a pack-a-day smoker, now I use 2 cartos. I also vape more than I smoked, partly because I can do it in places I couldn't smoke before.

Me too, but mine is lasting a long time, thats what I dont understand, like Ive said before I was a 2 pack a day guy, and this carto and one other one has lasted 2 days. Lol, I was wondering if I was doing something wrong -.-
The neverendinggobstopper. Mine rarely leaves my hand. Are you setting it down then using it for a few minutes and setting it down again, sort of like smoking analogs? I imagine it would last way longer that way. I'm doing the equivalent of lighting the next one with the .... of the current one. Sounds terrible :facepalm: But I figure I'm just getting a steady low dose (I use 11/12 and sometimes 16/18 nic) And it's sort of like a pacifier.

You are not doing anything wrong, you just vape differently than what is considered "average". Either you are taking breaks, or you are taking smaller hits...and if that is working for you....kudos!!! I'd love to get a carto to last a few days, but I am much more like star...never leaves the and (well cept to type:laugh:) and where I differ is that I take much longer hits;) You are doin just fine Twiztid:thumb:

and just realized that I ordered 10 bottles of juice from gourmet and only 5 blank carts from SI...:( carts are expensive Lol...

That's fine, just keep refilling those and the used up prefilled ones. And if you don't want any lingering leftover flavor, clean it out before filling with the next flavor.

What kind of lifespan are you guys / gals getting out of the carto's when you refill? i.e. how long on average are you able to use the carto itself (i.e. original pre-fill + roughly how many refills)? Any rough estimates in refills would be best, but sometimes that's hard to track with top-offs, so if you top off, roughly how long is one lasting?

My favorite battery is the silver/chrome. I showed off my first one in my How to Refill Volt Cartos video. Very shiny, very smooth & silky, not a rubberized finish, doesn't show fingerprints, must be laquered over the silver finish. Because it's not rubberized, it feels slightly skinnier than the others. It could be personalized really nicely with some translucent stickers or such and maybe still fit in the PCC.

OK, that's something I hadn't thought of -- the feel. I was just considering the color. What's the consensus? The smooth surface or the rubberized surface? I think I'd probably prefer something not too slippery, but I have no practical experience. Silver is a cool color, too.

I've heard stories of people using the same 1 carto refilling it like 50 times. I think that's one for the record books. Since I have a bazillion cartos I might refill the same one 5 times then toss it. They are meant to be disposable so after awhile the filler just isn't going to hold as well, the coils get gunked up, and the atomizer will poop out. Maybe with some loving care you could get 20 good refills? Maybe someone who uses the same 10 for 3 months can be a better judge.

I have both and prefer the rubberized a smidge more.

Yeah, certainly understand the disposable part. To be clear, I have no intent of cleaning them in any way ect.. Just wondering what experience has shown their average lifespan to be... i.e. how long should a 5-pk last assuming that I'm going to re-fill the pre-filled, fill blanks, etc... Semi-disposable scenario... ;)

I think there cool....I would like have silver or polished silver to match the silver battery:). I'm not to picky thou:p

I think black is a good, neutral color that'll go with any color battery you choose. Otherwise, they would have to make each flavor in a selection of colors to go with the battery colors -- though silver is a neutral color, too. I like the black. Then again, I want at least one black battery, too.
