Topping off a carto one juice on top of another?

[FRANKSTER]

Your PG/VG ratio shouldn't have anything to do with how long a carto lasts. I use the same ratio and yes, I can get a couple weeks out of a resurrector. I didn't want to quit using my vendor either but it was either that or keep buying cartos all the time or quit vaping and go back to smoking (which was NOT an option). What exactly are the juices you use and who sells them, if I may ask.

I have been down this road before. You can spend money trying to find equiptment that will work with your juice or you can find juice that will work with your equiptment. If you'll PM me your address, I'll send you some that you can use in a carto for at least a week.

Thank you for the offer, but I do not want to sacrifice the juice I really like for a better performance on a carto. I have 5 juices that I consider my core juices. It has taken me 5 months to get this list together. This is why I have no intentions of giving these up. They are:
The Vapor talk store...dulcis
bwb...honey flu
Vaperite's vr4, rou's toasted hazelnut and Madagascar vanilla.

I waited too long to find these juices...I just started my second day with one carto and one juice using the dulcis...it is still performing well...I would like to see how long this one goes. I will be very satisfied with 3 days of smooth vaping, but not 1 day.

i will say this as a diyer that sweetend juices clog cartos.... if i make a juice without, it lasts me weeks... if i sweetend it i might get 2 days out of it. so to those that disagree with me fine.. you don't know anything if you aren't making it yourself.

That is most likely the reason...I am on the second day with a juice that is not that sweet and thus far, the vape is still smooth. My other juices are a bit sweeter and more vg. This is probably why I only get a day out of them...A day for me is probably 2 to 3 days for someone else. I am an extremely heavy vaper.

I have to second the straightened paper clip. First look through the carto air tube can you see a light through it? If not the air way is tight or closed.

You have to make sure paper clip is completely straight, you go in from the battery connector first. GENTLY push the paper clip in making sure to go THROUGH the coils, if you feel resistance change the angle slightly and keep trying. Once the paper clip is all the way through you will most likely see some black residue on the paper clip, wipe it off with a paper towel and push the paper clip in and out a few times wiping off the residue. You can go in the drip tip end after this if you like. Keep doing this until the paper clip comes out relatively clean.

I've revived cartos for a few more days use doing this for every carto my wife and I use. Good luck.

Thanks, I will give it a try as soon as this carto I am using tightens up.

You have to figure that most people dont vape 8mls a day either...you are overhauling your cartos.

Most people take about a week to get 8mls out of a carto...you are doing it in a day...the math seems just about right.

I constantly am mixing and changing flavors throughout the day. Even in my bottom feeder I keep a couple bottles half full so I can change and add when I feel like it. It may be a bit crazy to others, but it keeps me from getting bored and off the analogs so I keep at it.

Yeah, sounds pretty much right. My Boges only "satisfy" me for about 3-4 days, and I vape 3 mils a day typically.

With that math, sounds like 9-12 mils of juice through a carto is enough to put that puppy to bed. I'm just budget minded, so I deal with the carto being subpar and vape on it for a week or more. My lightly colored menthol juice of choice does get me 4-5 decent days with a carto, however, but that's a given considering it's pretty much PG/VG and some menthol crystals.

I know the feeling Frankster, I had some really dark RY4s that would tear a carto up in a day or less sometimes. I gave that juice up exactly for that reason, actually.

Since it seems like you don't want to give up your "core" juices, and I'm assuming you are using a carto for the convenience, have you considered a carto with no filler?

CE3s are apparently decent, and don't have any filler to get gunky and tighten up the draw. They're not everyone's cup of tea, and I don't know if you've addressed this in a previous post, but you could give them a shot...

If they're bomb and work out, I'm happy for you, if they're not then you could be SOL. I'm kinda that way with atties, nothing I find can truly make me happy.

Thanks, I will take a look at ce3s.

don't get ce3's... if using fillerless go for stardusts..... they are great... no modding, leaking. just fill and vape... c3's are notorious for problems

I use carts and 50/50 mix and they work fine for me, I change cart out about once a month just because i want a fresh one,

I find that incredible that you can use a carto for one month using 50/50...what cartos are you using? Also, how many mls do you use per day?
