There is a part of the problem. The original question has no real answer because everyone uses their E-Cig differently.

With that said, if you take care of a carto and don't over heat it or over use it, (use it more like you were actually using a cigarette), you could be expected to have a filled carto last for 20-30 cigarettes, more or less. But that's a very rough average and under specific conditions.

Now that is semi true, because a cig has 1.1-1.2 MG of nic, now I use 24mg which in one carto is 2.4, so it is double the amount of a cig.

3.7v (using V4L batteries and a mod).

But I think the battery is irrelevant. On average, 1 carto lasts half a day (or about 12 ciggies worth).

The batt is not irrelevant because of the volts in the batt, a higher volt will dry the carto up faster, a 5V like the PT will last a shorter then the 3.7V that the V4L VK is.

Except that the uptake of nicotine is not as efficient.

Yes it is, because if I drop down to 6mg for argument sake, I would use the whole carto in one shot, I would not be satisfied with 6mg.

Now if the question was "how many puffs are in a carto" then you can say 200-300 and figure out how many cigs by smoking one and see how many puffs are in a cig that way.

10 puffs in a regular cig times that by 20=200 times it by 30=300 so you can accurately say there is 20 to 30 cigs in a carto.

But that is not true because if it was people would vape the same cartos. Depending on the MG, like if you are a 6mg vaper and jump to 24, you might regularly vape 2-3 cartos now you will vape .5 of one or so.

Alas that statement makes zero sense from a thermodynamics standpoint. Energy in is vapor out, which equates to consumption (ie. conversion of state). A dead battery will contribute zero energy to the conversion, so there will never be a conversion, so the number of "puffs" approaches infinity. A 5v system will give you 7.5 to 8watts at a minimum, where a 4.2v fully charged battery is going to source somewhere around 6 watts, around 5 watts at nominal charge, and only around 4.5 watts when it's approaching shutoff for low voltage. Putting 4.5 watts of energy into a system is not going to vaporize as efficiently as 8 watts will.

Again - your contention makes no sense from a physics POV.

The frequency of "puffs" will also alter the results for the same reason. A certain number of BTU having already been contributed to the conversion if you puff frequently, therefore yielding more than a 1:1 higher rate of consumption (due to better efficiency of state conversion). The same reason that hot water boils faster. The hot water heater having already contributed energy to the conversion. Which, incidentally, means that vaping in a higher ambient temperature will shorten the life versus vaping in a lower temperature - except that the battery output will be lower, therefore contributing less current for lower heat.

Your consumption rate is anecdotal at best. There is no correlation between your consumption rate and anything else until you show us a high n= with a good r2

Has anyone ever just puffed on the same cart until it was empty? If so, realistically, just how many smokes is a cart equal to in your opinion? Assuming you are filling your own premium cart with 25 or so drops.
I personally switch flavors through out the day, so I'm unable to get much of an idea.....I know I'm vaping much more than I ever smoked, that's for sure!

I smoked about a PAD (more or less) and now I vape all afternoon on my fully charged Vapor King Reg batt with one 24mg carto....hope this helps..
