There is not a definitive answer for how long they last. It all depends on how long you pull and how often you vape. If your talking about how long they last in terms of refilling, the answer varies from person to person based on several different variables. Keep in mind, cartomizers are meant to be disposable, so any refill you get beyond the first, is an added bonus.

OK, in lots of threads I asked people how long does the V4L cartos last but no one ever answered me, so I had open my own thread about it
Thanks in advance
Do you have V4Ls right now?
And what do you mean how long they last? Do you mean till they're empty? Or..?
Im a very heavy vaper and have to top them off frequently, say after vaping them 2 hours.
no I always wanted to try V4L but I had this question in mind all the time. How long can you vape on a single pre-filled premium V4L until it runs out of juice ? And how many times can you refill before it dies ?
I know its different for everyone but I am just looking for an estimate.
thank you

Everyone is different (as you pointed out), so any estimate you get isn't going to help you. Some refill only 2-3 times. Some refill to 50+ times. In the end it comes down to personal preference, as well as many other contributing factors.
But for the hell of it, here is a random "estimate" for me. A single carto lasts me about 3-4 hours because I am a heavy vaporer. I only refill 3 times because I feel anything after that does not taste right and feels unsafe to me because they are meant to be used once and tossed. That's just my personal take on things. Hope this helps.

There really is not definitive answer to this one. Some of my cartos die or their performance drops off significantly after 3 or 4 refills, others seem to just last forever. I'm a heavy vapor as well and typically a carto will last me several days.
I think it's a lot like buying a bushel of apples.... a few of them will be awesome, a few of them will wind up in the trash and the majority are just apples.

I have been refilling mine for quite a while..10 or 20 times each! (with washing out under running hot water) They last me from 3 to 4 hours depending on if it's a fresh carto (new) or a refilled on and if I vaping while driving or on the computer. If I am busy and vaping very little I vape the same one much longer.
For most people it's hard to say because we like to have 2 flavors going at once on two different batts or a passthru. Passthrus use up juice faster. So do mods.

I have not tried the new premium carts, but the old carts hold about 1ml. I use about 3 carts a day. When I am using my 510, I go through about 3ml. I don't refill carts, so I can't speak to refilling. I vape pretty constantly and draw for about 5 seconds.
Jesus people, i consider myself a heavy "vaper" and mine last most of the day!!!!!!!! Some serious vapor fiends around here(teasery). From my personal use, i use my VK carts about 2-3 times an hour. In each use, i take about 6-8 puffs. I can use a cart most of the day. If i "top off", i do it once. Hope that helps...?
As everyone else has indicated, it's a tough question to answer - too many variables. But I can imagine your frustration with not getting enough "straight answers".
Here's as straight an answer I can give you based on my personal experience...
I used to smoke about 15 Marlboro Lights at day - I guess that would mean like 300 pulls on a Marb Lt a day.
I use my Vapor King a LOT more frequently than I smoked, frankly just because I can - I can take a pull on the VK just about anywhere and any time (and still be stealthy about it), where my smoking was pretty confined. I have a tough time, tho, estimating how many pulls on the VK I take a day. Here's why - I currently have 4 VK's (with diff flavored cartos) in my pocket and I flip between them all the time. I also have 2-3 full cartos in my pocket - and the 1st puff I take that taste a little "off" I pull the carto off the battery and put it in my "needs re-filled" pocket and replace it. To make it more difficult to estimate, some days are much heavier than others. When I'm in the car, I'll basically vape CONSTANTLY - take 3 pulls off 1 VK, put it down, a minute or 2 later pick up a second VK, take 3 pulls, and on and on. If I'm in the car a lot one day, I bet I use 2x the amount of juice as on a normal day.
Having said all that, since I refill all my cartos in a big batch about once a week, I can estimate that I refill about 12-15 cartos a week and get about 18 drops into each refill before it floods. So my guess is that I use about 8-10 ml of juice a week, which theoretically means the equivalent of about 1-1 1/2 brand-new cartos a day (assuming each carto gets 1ml of juice).
That's a LONG way to say, for me, I went from 15 cigs a day to about 1-1/2 cartos a day, I guess.
In terms of how many times can you refill, I've actually only thrown out 2 cartos (because they seemed "worn out") over almost 3 months of the above usage pattern. Those 2 cartos had probably been refilled 10+ times before I gave up on 'em.

I find that i vape pretty moderately. I can go about 2 or 3 days before emptying a cart. then i wash it and refill it. I have a few carts from december that have been washed and refilled constantly and they still work wonderfully.
Some burn out after one use or 1 refill and some I can refill 5 or 6 times...IMO, if they could get quality control to a point where all the cartos were built like the ones that last for 5-6 refills (I have 1 going on 7 refills), they would really have something.
