1. I vape approx 4 ml a day, and I use 2 sets of 16340 batteries a day. (I don't run out on the second pair...it's just bedtime).
2. I notice voltage drop off shortly before the batteries die, thats it. (I have switched up the voltage a wee bit as well now and then for some extra kick)
3. I am on my second cartomizer since getting the box, the last one I switched out after 7 days. (Ikenvape 510 STD punch)

Hope that helps.

:)


Definitely helps!

I vape about 3ml a day (in a Reo Mini), and I'm really hoping that I can get a day with one pair of batteries (wake to sleep). Then again though, I'm not sure if I over or under 'squonk' or anything, so I might even 'need' less than 3ml a day.

I would probably just use a LR carto and run it at 4.2ish volts most of the time.

7 days isn't bad at all. From the condition of that carto, do you feel like it could have gone any further, or did you swap it out for safe measure?

Are people getting better performance/carto life with 1 punch, 2 punches, 3 punches, etc?

SE, I'm similar to Born. I get about 9 hours max (batt dead) at about 3 mils of juice. I also go through 2 sets a day (2nd set not completely dead). I think you would be hard pressed to get a full day. I just keep an extra set at work and change out in the afternoon, or carry an extra set in the car if going to be out for a while. As for cartos (Boge LR 2.0 @ 4.25-4.50), I'm still on my first one, over a week now. I usually just go till I notice a flavor change or tightness on the draw (usually 1-2 weeks). I only use on hole, but my juice is not very thick, on a thicker juice I usually go 2 holes.

Born and Brutus - what kind of juice are you using that your carto can last 7 days? I've been able to do that well with one place, but I'm curious what others are using. :)

It's OK to PM me if you don't want to name suppliers in the thread.

9 hours is pretty good. Surprisingly, I get a day's worth out of 1 750mah 14500 in my Reo Mini with a 1.5ohm atomizer. By day, I mean from ~9am until 1am or so. I'm not a chain vaper at all though, I vape like I would smoke a cigarette. I'll take 'breaks' every so often and take 10-15 drags or so. I'm guessing that one pair of batteries should be fine for a day then, awesome.

Going over a week with a carto is awesome too. I can live with that. I've never been an avid carto user mainly because of having to replace them. I do enjoy the sizzle though lol.

I guess this will be good for me then. 99% of my juices are 60:40, but they're often very clear and not really 'gunky' at all. They're all pretty thin actually, I guess the flavoring has something to do with it. I DIY 3ml nightly for the next day (so I don't get bored).

I'd love to be able to go 2 days without a refill haha.

SE, you should be stoked then. This will seem like a different world for you. You very well could get a whole day on a set of batts then.

Bamrz, I use mainly Backwoods Brew, I have always gotten long life out of my Boges. My wife usually gets about 2 weeks out of hers in an Arry tank also. I think the key is getting the carto primed good and keeping the center tube clear.

Thanks Brutus! I've been having good luck with NLV, but a couple others only last 2-3 days before getting gunked up and slow. Before the BB, I was using mostly RBA's at home, and Stardusts for work, so I'm a bit out of the loop on carto life. :laugh: Now I find myself reaching for the BB as much as the RBA's after I get home.

I'm definitely excited as hell. I never got to pre-order, so I've been looking hard (like every 30 seconds for the past few days) on facebook, different forum classifieds, etc.

I knew that after I tried one briefly the other day, I had to have one.

Do you have any experience in changing flavors in it? I remember that when I used carto tanks, I'd be able to just prime the used carto with a new juice and fill the tank with a new juice and it would eventually even out enough that the old flavor faded. Recommend any cartomizers that hold up to flavor changes better than others?

i'm sure some will gasp that i'de done this, but for what its worth, this is easily taken back to a shine with some buffing and polishing. i'm not into shiny stuff, because they show everythinggg.

I've seen the bb called the rolex of mods, i think this gives it that brushed rolex look :)


and doug.. don't show your monkey this. he's likely to come kill me


before....

Wondering how long it will take for the BB to travel from Utah to Kansas City. I keep stalking the tracking page and there are no notifications. Just says electronic notification received 3-11-13. Sadly, it may be next week before I get my BB in hand. Darn you USPS! :(

I look at it this way, I waited this long for this mod to get to me, whats a couple more days, before getting it in my hands :):)

I am a bit south of you in Wichita. Mine sat in Utah for 3 days and then arrived here on the 4th day. Once it leaves Utah, it seems to move quickly.
