Been using, and enjoying, the DC cartos in the UFS but wondering... how long does one last most people? It's been a week for me and still going fine (draw starting to get a little harder, but that could just be the UFS needing a little cleaning), I do about a tank a day. Running at 3.7v, haven't gotten around to getting some 3.0v batts to try out 6v as most people suggest.

Vaped a tank of COV Butterscotch yesterday, DC carto also full at beginning as well as a full tank and last night I thought about refilling the tank and going further but the carto was tasting sorta "iffy" Definitely not as nice as when fresh. Maybe I could have run 1-2 more mls through it before it got nasty but I ditched it and got a fresh one in there. Mucho better.

Seems that realistically I can get a full carto/tank out of the DC, at 6v, before time to replace it. Over the long haul that could get expensive.

I've got about 60 of the 1.5 DC std size on hand but don't necessarily want to run through them in two months.

Anyone else only "really" getting a full days worth?

What is the capacity of the UFS if filled halfway between the top threads of the clear window and the top of the UFS? Anyone know? That's typically where I fill it to. I should think it's 4-5 mls at least including the 1ml in the carto. If so, that seems typical for me on a carto.

When it comes to coffee, I like to roast my own and I have a mondo Italian espresso machine and grinder. I'm a coffee snob. Maybe I'm a carto snob as well. :)

Will a Smoktech 5 pack of 510 XL stainless steel dual coil cartomizer with 1.5ohm work in the UFS do I have to mod it ?Sorry

If you get the new top cap for the UFS you are able to use XL cartos in the UFS. The top cap screws in where the mouthpiece normally would, allowing the longer carto to come up through it. You then are also able to use the tip of your choice. I have the top cap and use a Steel Ming tip I got from COV. Looks really nice.

Wow I cannot fathom how you guys are getting a week or more out of a DC carto. I get a full day at most.

Can you that get all that time tell me what juices/PG-VG you use and the vendor? I use typically Tastyvapor juices. I'd like to try some of your juices to see if I can get the same results.

Also, just checking, but you do actually have taste buds, right? :) because after a day my carto starts to taste nasty and gunky.

While your at it you may as well get a box of the triples also. I just got some and feel the juice tastes a tad better and they are a tad less harsh. Triples will not fire properly @/ 3.7 V - I use 6V for both kinds.

I get almost a week with these. Fwiw, I only use FSUSA's Virginia, and non-flavored nic juice @ 40pg/60vg ratio.

Right now I'm using FSUSA's Peanut Butter Cup @ 18mg. Put some in the carto, then fill the tank and go. Generally run through almost the whole tank, refill in the morning. Only issue I have is that it does drain the batteries faster (even high drain) so I use about 3 for a day (18490). But I swap them not long after the first performance drop... I miss regulated power.

Dspin I've been tempted to try some of the triple coils myself.....
