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...
For me, how long a prefilled 5-pack lasts depends on whether I'm going to grab the next one instead of refilling, like when I'm super busy and don't want to mess with anything. If I'm here at home, I'll top off with 2-3 drops every time I change a battery.
It also depends what e-liquid you use to top-off or refill. Some juices gunk up the coil beyond cleaning the first time, like dark juices, very sweet, or heavily flavored. I would thing the SI e-liquids are all going to be okay on this.
Often, I'll use the same cartomizer for 3 days, maybe 4, haven't written down that data. I'll mostly be simply taking it off the battery and topping it off now and then, or when changing batts. But yeah, eventually the cartomizer will get really hot and doesn't seem to draw as well, and that's my signal that the coil is finally gunked up and needs replacing.
Haven't seriously tried cleaning these yet.
Ooh, I just thought of a theme for a new video.... Survivor Volt .. interesting.
