Hello and welcome!

1) most people drip and use about 3mls a day (21 mls a week)
2) I vape constantly, but if you are gonna vape like you smoked then use higher nic
3) you get a dry taste like burnt plastic or something. As soon as flavor drops you should check your cart.

If you are gonna use carts, I highly recommend a cart mod like blue foam or PTB (pyramid tea bag)

1 - I use probably five to seven 510 carts a day.

2 - I vape a lot more than I smoked, but I don't vape as long each time. But my pv is always with me. Four or five puffs at a time but pretty regularly. :)

3 - You will just know. It will start to taste burnt. Another puff will confirm. Poke the filler with a sewing needle or tweezers and you will be able to tell if there is any juice left.

+1 on blue foam, but unlike most videos I just use enough to create a seal, not fill the whole cart.

Don't worry about repeating questions here, it happens all the time.

1) Most people buy e-juice to fill their carts with instead of buying pre-filled ones. It's cheaper in the long run because the carts don't last nearly as long as the sites say they will. And, who knows how long ago those carts were filled and under what conditions they've been stored in before being shipped to consumers. The pre-filled carts you receive today could have been filled last year and been stored in a hot, humid room since they were filled.

2) For me, I vape as often as I like, but I also smoked the say way. It differs with everyone. Some chain vape all day, some only take a few pulls throughout the day. Once you start, you'll find your rhythm and what works for you.

3) You'll know when your cart is finished because the flavor changes to more of a burning flavor and you'll get less vapor as the cart gets lower on juice.

!.) How many carts you guys go through in a week???
I don't use carts much anymore, but by doing the math from when I did, I'd estimate I'd have to refill a 510 cart every 20-30 minutes - so with 16-hour days, a minimum of 224 refills in a week. With 901 carts, I get 30-40 minutes, so a bit less.

2.) Do you guys just vape only when having cravings or all day no matter what? And how many puffs at a time are you guys taking everytime you have a craving?
Some people vape like they smoked - 10-15 puffs every hour or whatever their normal rate was. Others don't. I don't. I puff when I feel like it - it's kind of automatic. My hand just reaches for it. I'd say I probably take 2 or 3 puffs every few minutes. Although when I'm out, I don't vape anywhere near as much.

3) How can I tell when my cart is finished and it is time for a new cart??
You'll lose flavor and vapor, and eventually you'll get the "burnt atomizer" taste, which is not subtle. So don't worry, you won't miss it, lol. You will learn to tell when it's time to top up before you get the burnt taste pretty quickly.

Thanks and again sorry for the noob questions

Just to be clear, since it doesn't *seem* like you know, most people don't just throw away carts when they're empty. Because, as you can see, at around $1 a cart, that would get REALLY expensive.

You refill the carts with liquid. All you have to do is take off the cart, drip some liquid right on the filler material, and pop it back on. It's quick and painless and saves you a ton of money.

I'd like to add on to this post. I'm waiting on eGo starting kit (hopefully tomorrow). I have some atomizers and a couple carto's on the way to see which ones I like. You guys have mentioned when it's time to refill the cartos (I'm going to assume atomizers are the same?). How do you know when they are shot? When refilling won't even help your cause, it's time to use a new one.


If I don't decide to dip, and I decide to use cartridges with an atomizer. Do cartridges last just as long as atomizers? Will I know when those need replaced?

Thanks folks.

Cart's if you keep replacing the filler you can keep using them.
With carto's it could go completely dead, produce no vapor.. generally if its shot you'll know easily enough.
