follow up, I have a tank for each flavor I use..so there has been no washing or changing flavors.
When I start losing flavor in a tank I usually attribute it to not enough juice being in the carto. So I do a couple dry pulls to get more juice from the tank to the carto. Or it is because my taste buds are too used to that flavor and I have to switch to another one for a while.
As far as how long they last...I'd get 30-45ml of Peacemaker through mine (60ml with a cleaning after 30ml) before the carto was just dead. That is best case scenario and had several die before that for various reasons.
The signs I always looked for in regards to a dead carto was burn taste every so often, constant leaking or an insanely tight draw.

I've had some tank cartos last for a long time, over a week is good, but sometimes just a couple days. I am using only one juice now and it's heavy on the cinnamon, so i think that's a factor. I usually have the problem of them becoming too saturated and when I can't blow them out a bit, into the circular file it goes!
A Tank lasting only a week? I am talking about a refillable 3.5 Tank, not a carto. At 12 something each they best last longer then a week!
The plastic and metal? I've had mine for over a year now. I did have to throw one end cap away. That's because I let it soak too long and it not only grew mildew on it but the metallic paint started chipping off. I haven't had any o-rings break, but I'm very careful with them. Make sure they're lubricated, not pinched, etc.
I've had the tank cartos last as long as two weeks (with a DAV at 4.2volts using Peppermint). The plastic drum I've had a couple for well over a year. Or at least as long as we've had tanks and it's been a loooong time now .

Thanks..Yes it's the plactic and metal tank. I will try rinsing it out and letting it dry. We will see if that's the problem. I did order more, so it's no great loss, just my learning curve. Thanks everyone.
I have thrown away and replaced two tanks. Both after having used them for several months. My problem was the o-rings. When I pulled the carto down to refill, it left a smear of black stuff on the carto and tasted rubbery. I never washed the tanks -- just kept refilling.
I figured that was just normal for the o-rings to wear out after awhile. Does that sound right to others?

Oh sorry MK, i was thinking of the carto! Have had all my tanks (6) still with me, no problems yet! A couple are at least a year old
The tanks themselves should last a good LONG time. The carto inside the tank needs to be replaced as needed(prob once a week or so depending on user and juice flavor).

Ms. MK have tanks well over a year old and they still work without issue. Flavor issues almost always have to do with the cartos, all the tank provides is extra storage for juice. Just be sure to stay away from alcohol when cleaning them, can dry out the O-rings.
Stay away from alcohol when cleaning them? Oh yeah O rings... not sloppy spills! LOL
3.5ml Dual Coil Metal Tank- 808D Style It says it's a 1.5 ohm. So will the 2.0 fit?
All the tank carto's fit the tanks Mary, it's just preference to having single or dual coil and what ohm you want. Best to get a selection and try out different ones, I find the dual coil give a warmer vape than the single coils.
Thanks everyone! When I started vaping a 901 4 1/2 years ago you bought batting to replace the filler inside the tips..so I should have figured it out on my own! I am just going thru my normal learning curve with a new type of e-device (new to me , old to the rest of you) Thanks for the reponces and the help. That's what makes V4L forum the best!
