Im using the V4L oldies and premiums on my 5v.I refill from the top often.I use a drip tip so I can just yank it off.They last me maybe 3 days.

I just got a batch of CE2R4s' in SS from China and they are working great with no modding at all. They last a few hours of heavy use before refill and have lasted me 3 to 4 days with no maintenance. I do a clean and burn and they go again but I often pop them too doing this. They are only about a dollar each so all is well.
I am using mostly Dekang tobacco flavours which I enjoy.

5C the first fill was great until I got about 3 hours in...popped the tip off and topped it with juice and then I started getting a burnt taste. I let it sit thinking maybe it just needed time to soak up better but no dice. I'm not sure what the deal is..no burn or dark spots visible, double checked my Buzz voltage and it's at 4.3. Tested the carto resistance and it reads 2.9. Maybe I just hit it too hard because if I let it sit awhile I can get a couple of good tasting hits then it tastes like burnt juice again. Even on my 3.7 mod
I'm still going to get some from Isaac, could be this one is just a dud. Or it doesn't like my Caramel Cream LOLYou're a sweetheart for sending it to me to try, thank you! Haven't tried the mega 808 yet but will let ya know
I guess I will get the 901/808 connection when they are available and order some cartoz to use... After all, I do not plan on using the mod as my go to device (unless it's that good then I am screwed 
)
I just hate refilling, topping off and all the hassle of maintaining them... Im getting into this with the mindset that it will be a once in a while vape and Ill just toss the cartoz if I can find cheap empties(suggestions anyone) (Side note to newbies: not smart to toss prefilled if you wanna save money!)

Also, on a 30 drop (or so) fill, how long does one carto last you? If I take a 5v with me, should I be prepared to take 3 extra cartoz or a 3ml bottle to top off with?
Depends on how often you are tokin, and obviously 5v will use juice faster. I pretty much chain vape and I check my carto about every 2 to 3 hours...add about 10 drops it the top looks dry. Also depends on the carto. I may convert to these 510s from Iken but I'm a true fan of the boge 510 High Performance Cartomizers. As long as I keep em topped off I get as good a performance and use time as others rave about with Iken's V2s. Been using these boges for several months
I spoke with Isaac yesterday about when he would have the V2 Gold (drip style) cartos in. He told me that the box arrived Monday but what was inside weren't the right cartos so he sent the entire 30lb. box back. I was bummed out to hear that. I've been waiting for those. Best carto I've ever used.
I am so old-school! I use V4L CoolCarts (808s) at 4.3 and they last me 3-4 weeks. I use a drip tip and top off often. Some juices do seem to clog them up more than others (TV is definitely on that list) and those are usually get tossed after their run. Most of them wash well once and are good to go for another 2-3 weeks.
I do have a large stash of the "old" premiums but I can only use those at lower voltage. They use juice up like crazy and generally don't last near as long as the cool carts. My VV Menthol (85% VG) seems to burn quickly on these (the juice, not the filler). Maybe it's a VG thing?
I've tried several other 808s (Turbo, Vapor's Etc., Ikenvapes', "no-name") but I keep returning to these. The mega 808s from Iken's are impressive and work well, I just can't get past the extra length. My Buzz, carto and drip tip is long enough as is!
I always carry a case with filled cartos and a case of 3ml dripper bottles with me. I'm big on changing out flavors and topping off. Not a big deal or hassle, it's just part of the routine.
And, yes, there is a color code system going on there to know what is what!

It's the only way to be if you are going to be serious about vaping imo. Failures are a pain lol. Nothing worse than being caught out and about with a busted atty or dead battery.
Allot. I think cartos and attys are like juice. What works for one doesn't necessarily mean it will work for another. Those Mega 808s hold 60 drops but my favorite is still the fusion but they are a very thirsty cartomizer. If your wanting to vape along time without refilling maybe that Map Tank is the one. I've been thinking of constructing one of those one of these days.
Yup, that's me
Maybe 5card can change his hat to read "Vapey"???
This is the best I could do.

You are awesome! Yes you are! Now, I'm going to have to ask the mods to change my username so I can use this as my avatar! j/k , but I'm saving the pic just in case...

Thank you. I had to do that one with photoshop and it's the first time I've used photoshop. The other ones were done using paint. I'm more accustomed to paint. Someday I got to learn how to use Photoshop. I got the Photoshop for dummies book but I need the dumbest copy to understand it.
