The cost of using cartomizers

[Torrentula81]

For people who use primarily cartomizers im curious how much do people spend on cartomizers a month? What you find is acceptable price for the month. I ordered elite 808 to try out. They are selling 5 pack for $15. If cart lasts say 3 days then that would be $30 total. Is that average?

Talking abouts carts themselves, not cost of juice or prefilled.

$6-$8 per 5 cartos. I can usually make each carto last 7-10days.

Hmmm, Not for me, I use a lot of different cartos and they last me far longer than 3 days. I think total I have spent maybe 30 bucks total in the past four months for cartos. My Go Go Cartomizers last me about a month to a month and a half each, my Boge 510's well they speak for themselves they are still going strong and I have only broken one out of the five pack. My Smoktech Dual Coil 510's last me about a month each, I use those in my Dual Coil MAP tank. So for me I don't go through very many cartomizers at all really. I am still on my First Dual Coil Clearomizer I bought about three weeks ago and it too is still going very very strong.

Or is that three cartos on three different ecigs, meaning each lasts 2-3 days.

$8 per 5 delivered, $12/month.
I run 4 days per carto, 22 - 24 ml, before it is time to clean or toss.

I don't know if there is a good answer on how long a cartomizer should/can last. I've had some go a couple of days and some stay in service several weeks. A lot depends on the juice and your vaping style.

I use standard dual coils (about ten bucks a box), boge 1.8, 2.0, and 3.0 ohm cartos (about 9 bucks a box), emdcc's ($2.50 each carto), and CE2's for my map tanks (about 11 bucks a box). The emdccs have been lasting weeks. My boge cartos often go around 10 days or so. And CE2's... well, it just depends (CE2s are somewhat problematic - I have a love/hate relationship with those).

Longevity of a carto has a lot to do with your juice. If your juice is killing a carto in three days every time, you might want to try some other juices.

Wow, thanks guys. Its nice to know cartomizers can last more then a few days. I'd be more then happy with 7 days usage to justify paying they're asking price.

5 for $15, are these prefilled cartos? If they are not, they seem a little expensive at $3 per. Also, cart(o) lasts 3 days? Again, is that pre-filled or the carto got dirty/burned out? Most folks are giving you price/cost for blank cartos, which is around $1.25 - 1.50.

I've never used cartomizers so I was looking to see how much people spend. 3 days was my personal guess. If they last a full month per box I don't mind them costing a bit more. Yeah they are blank. I should have the unit Friday. Hope its decent.

If your Elite 808 is a KR808D-1 model (confirm this), you should be able to buy 5 blanks for about $7-$8. You can get them at following sites (remember to click "20% off" at Liberty Flights):

I prefer to use light colored juices nothing real sweet or dark. When the taste falls off a bit I run a paper clip through the center then run hot water through it and blow out. I get several weeks per each carto.

I budget $5/week for atties & carto replacement. The rest of the family fortune is spent on juice.

5 smoketek cartos last me a good 5 weeks for $8

Found a poll that answers my question.

I get reasonable life off a carto, a week or two. But the flavor just isn't the same as an atty.

The Elite cartos are 2ml. The Elite is 808 threading but it's in a class by itself.
Larger batt and cartos. I drool all over my keyboad everytime I look at them.

These:
KR808d-1 Cartomizer : Cartridge Atomizer | Cigarette Cartridge Pack | Blank Cartomizer | Cigarette Cartridges
last 5 or so days and then need to be washed. They take days to dry.
These :
iGo Cartomizers
last about the same but are easier to wash because you can take the stuffing out completely and it dries in just a few hours.
I'm really enjoying the iGo cartos.

Ah, that explains why they cost twice as much as other 808 cartos, worth it or not. Thanks.

5 pack of boges for $7. I have different flavors in all of them. I have a boge that I've run for 3 weeks now full of Boba's and it's still going strong!!

 

[Jinglepixie]

$8 per 5 cartos. One lasts me about a week.
