question for the brains out there assuming just for the sake of this question because i know its all relaitive
i will only use 1 ( i wont but just for this) resonable use and wear and tear (ie in case,pocket ,on table, puter ...etc etc) what is the lifespan of just the tank ?

same question with cartomizer if is kept (wet/moist) in the tank and for the sake of question just the one liquid at 70/30 pg/vg ..not cinnamon type and is treated in same manor as the tank ie resonable use

just for question say (i was looking at this one anyway) 1.5 ohm or 2 ohm 1.5 being dual the 2 ohm been single with a 650 or 900mah 510 batt

i know diff liquids and personal tastes will or might put more strain on some cartos and theres the idiot factor (me):blink:but if you just say normal use


what are the expected lifespans for them (i know tanks will probably out last the cartos by a large amount )

the reason is i want to order a couple of months worth rather than every few weeks and spares to boot (cant get enough spares i know) so can budget for my liquids (looks better on the credit bill in case wifey sees it) mind you shes on the e gigs as well so going through the initial start of trial and error has not been to painfull as shes well up for it:)

any advice from the mighty sages ecf greatfully recived;)

Cartos generally last between 3 or 4 days to a couple of weeks depending on the juice. Of course they last longer if they are kept wet at all times and you use thinner juices. If you are using a carto tank; the tank itself can last for months. As to dual-coil cartos; I was not impressed with them. I think dual-coil cartos really work best with a VV system so you can bump up the voltage. If you really want to stock up; CrystalClearVaping has 15 carto deals.

+1 on CCV.. great deal on bulk cartos. Also agree with the single coil, they work far better on my KGOs than any dual coil. I have four tanks loaded at all times and the cartos in them last a week or more before the draw and the taste starts getting weak. Interesting trick that works for me.. put your finger over the hole in the bottom of the tank and suck like crazy through the drip tip.. you'll see air bubbles as the juice is sucked up into the carto.. when you don't see bubbles anymore, you're carto is good and wet. Works like a charm!

I use a tank and the 1.7 Smok Tech/ Resurrector cartos with a tank and the carto lasts 2 weeks before it starts to tight draw. Life of carto is also dependent on how thick (VG amount) your juice is and how dark it is. Tanks will last for months with the rubber parts/ gaskets wearing out. Certain juices will also degrade/ crack the plastic tube. Having said that I have now moved up to clearomizers and am glad I did.
First fill of cartos is VERY IMPORTANT even if using in a tank. Note keyword in vid below, when pushing carto down into condom of juice, is VERY SLOWLY.



Good Luck.

In my experience its all about the juice, as already stated. I'm getting up over a month with some thinner juices and from a few days to a couple of weeks with some pretty dark thick juices. As far as tanks I haven't had an issue with any, really. I just received a glass tank from siam mods that I'm quite pleased with, also the j-tanks from electronicstix have treated me well. Some of the 10-15 dollar tanks have worked just fine for me but aren't quite the quality of the 30-40 dollar ones I have received but none have given me any leaking or cracking/breaking issues. Hope that helps

Great video!! I was taught at the store I purchased my kit from to fill the condom 3/4 of the way and then slide the carto, atty side up, down into the condom and then flip everything over to let juice saturate everything...including completely flooding the airhole. Not sure if that is why some of my flavors taste burnt???

The last and hardest place on the carto to get juice to is the battery end so the PBusardo vid is the right way IMO. However being the tweaker I am I have tried it from the mouth end also. I prefer the vid method.
