Reuse Carts and Amount of Juice

[Tdubya]

I came prepared today for vaping all day day at work. I have my charger, extra battery & juice. I'm curious how often you need to top off a cart while vaping. I don't vape constantly, but I pick it up every 30 minutes or so and grab a few pulls. I made the mistake yesterday of allowing the filling to dry up a bit and got a nasty burnt taste that I couldn't get rid of until I changed out the cart. I've been adding 2-4 drops at a time to the old cart once I notice any flavor change, and that seems to be working. I'm not sure how much juice I really need to have to keep me going without running out. I purchased a 10ml bottle and it doesn't seem like I've put much of a dent in it over the course of 24hrs. How much juice do you guys go through in a day? I was smoking close to a pack a day of analogs. Today, I've had a total of 1

I go through about 3-5 ml a day, depending on stress levels. So, 30 ml will last me about 8-10 days. You might want to order some more soon.

When I was using carts (use carto's now), when I tasted a change, I could usually put about 10-15 drops in the cart.

I think a lot of it is going to be trial and error. I think at first I was topping off a drop or two every time I pulled on it for fear of it drying out and burning the filler, but now I know that "taste" is that signals it's time to refill and I just do it then.

I would suggest cartos if you don't have a desk job. Easy to fill, last a lot longer, and you can fill several to take to work. I started out on carts, now I stick to cartos if I can't drip. If you sit at a desk all day, dripping is the way to go. Three or four drops directly on the atty and vape away. You'll be able to tell when it's time to add a few more drops.

An empty cart should take +/- 12drops-- if it don't, may be time for a cart mod.

Strange....I'm only able to fill about 3-4 drops at a time before it starts to overflow.

I'm on my 3rd battery today and from my 36hrs of experience with my 510 I get about 3.5hrs per charge. I've only had 1 analog today which is something I haven't been able to say in about 16yrs. I am very pleased with the vaping experience thus far! DFWVapor's US Tobacco 18mg is quite pleasant and seems to have a very slight sweet after taste. I'll be trying the Cola flavor when I get home. I should have an empty cart in the mail box to try it out. I didn't want to taint the flavor filling up a used tobacco cart with cola.

What this means is that the cart is still mostly full. If youre getting a dry taste with a cart that only takes 3-4 drops to fill, then its definitely time to use a cart mod - or drip.

I never use the stock filler. And if i do, i use Highping's cart mod, since its the easiest and works with stock filler. There's a sub-forum here dedicated to cart mods, so there is surely no shortage of info on the subject. FYI, i use the Pyramid Tea Bag mod with thick juices, and Blue Foam Dart with thin juices.

But best is dripping 3 drops directly on to the atomizer bridge. I think its universally agreed upon that dripping gives the best flavor.

That sounds like a great plan. I haven't even explored any of the mods to these things yet. There is a wealth of info on just getting these things going and juices. I had just topped off my cart with juice so I only cut off about half of the wadding, and it made a nice difference. The flavor is more full and I'm getting more vape!

I really appreciate the info and links!
