What is average to get out of on cart?

[haznugadget]

On a full cart, what is the average puffs before it is empty? sometimes I can go all day and then once in a while it tastes kinda funny, so I fill it up and maybe only get 4-5 drops in there.

I am puffing 3-5 puffs at a time. Will there still be vapor coming out if the cart is empty?

Depends on how well the cart is wicking the atty. I'd say a drop of juice equals about 10 regular puffs = a real cigarette. So 10 drops would be like 10 real cigarettes --> more or less a cart.

If you never tried a cart mod, check my signature as its the simpler you can get.

With my 510 atomizers and normal sized carts + best filler material I've found so far http://www.petco.com/product/5539/Marineland-Bonded-Filter-Pads.aspx...

I'm going to estimate that if I filled a fresh cart and was able to have it wick well and use most of the liquid, I would get about 26 4-5 second puffs.

Realistically though, I get about 8-12 puffs then have to top off or just trash the filler with most of the juice trapped in it because it won't wick up.

For me a drop of juice = about 2 puffs.

That is the problem with most fillers. They just hold the juice. Highping's cart mod addresses this issue the simpler way. I vape every cart till the filler is bone dry.

Holy Wet Polyfill Batman! I just did Highping's mod tonite and what a difference! I've been topping off every 15 minutes of vaping and frustrated with all the juice left in the cart that just wasn't wicking down. I just finished my cart from 2.5 hours ago (nearly constant vaping) and pulled the fill.... bone dry! Definately do this mod if you want to get more life out of your cart and use your juice more effeciently.

One drop of juice does NOT = one cigarette...
Not sure whre you got that from lol. If it was true Im currently vaping the equivalent of about 50 cigs a day.
One cart might = one cig . Im not sure about 10 drops - I honestly dont see it as one cig but as long as it helps you limit your vaping to reasonable amounts its cool. I dont think you can compare them really.

(edit spelling n hitting enter before finishing lol)

I don't know all that much because I am new also. I have been vaporing 2 weeks but I put cotton for a cotton ball in my cart and I seem to get alot out of it. I use 3 to 4 drops. I hope this helps, I also read some where on this post that some one said to use fiber fill.

One cart might = one cig but one DROP of juice, no.

Sorry...but i have to disagree. The fact is that you don't smoke a regular cigarette the same way you vape. Ever tried to chain smoke a cigarette with 5 second drags? Mmmmmmmmmmm...remember how quick it went?

I have done the experience myself on many occasions...i started vaping whenever a friend smoked a cigarette, they would finish the cigarette and i was shocked on how long i went vaping...like 15 minutes later i was still vaping!

Bear in mind that a regular cigarette lasts about 10 puffs. Now... drip a drop of juice (make it two drops if the atty is too dry). Count the puffs.

One cart=one cigarette?????? NO WAY....not ANY cart available. I stand by this as i have done the math in my 1st day of vaping, so the drags were the same on both the cigarette and the 510.

It can vary of course...but the way i smoked, a drop = ten puffs. And EVEN if you take long drags, just check on how many 5 second draws some ppl get on their reviews with 2 drops of juice. Something is wrong with your carts.

Also...how do you explain that a lot of folks use 2 or 3 carts per day when they used to smoke 20 cigarettes? Coz they vape the same way they used to smoke. I know such people..i got them into vaping.

P.S. Try Highping's cart mod if you haven't done it already. Nothing to lose but half the length of a regular polyfill...you will be amazed on how long a cart will last.

I find I dont inhale the same way (now I sound like Clinton...), with cigs I was taking HUGE lungfuls, but this is much much shallower. More for sure, but tbh Id chain smoke whenever I had the chance at weekends, so taht part isnt different. I find Im not constantly craving a cig (or vape) now either, I take the shorter shallower inhale and it seems to work I dont use carts at all btw - I drip.

Well... give me a chance to get you back to carts. Try it! NOW!...please???
Many drippers were in awe when they used that simple cart mod just for fun.
I was in shock...and i had started dripping coz all mods were failing me, I even have a whole lot of ZFM plugs i purchased outta desperation...they are here untouched. Not that it is a bad mod...i just could not get it right.

Hehe no chance - Im a dripper fer life - love it

Portguy, thank you for the link in your sig. I think it will come in handy when my kit arrives.

If I had to guess, I'd say that one carto is about the equivalent of about a pack or a pack and a 1/2 of smokes. Very rough estimate though.

 

[lowangel]

It's depend on which model are you used it. Each cartridge has different size 801>901>501
and also depend on how you drop or refill it
