When is it time to change carts?

[Zodas]

I heard they have a lifespan of typically a week...and when I was using V2 carts that was true. About 5 days in the draw would weaken, then taste would go, and then it would stop efficiently burning juice...and by the 7th day it died...

...now Im using Boge LRs and Im into my second week and the thing is still going strong. These are my first high quality carts so Im not sure if I should just put the thing down after a week and switch carts.

Ive noticed flavor diminishing a little and one time when I overfilled it a little the juice that came back out the battery port was much darker than what it was when it went in...so I didnt know if its not properly burning juice and it was starting to back up a little and reburning old nasty juice.

...but it still vapes fine, has a good draw and has enough flavor that it didnt bug me. So I havent been urged to switch carts yet but I didnt know if I was giving my juice the best possible opportunity to taste as good as it should.

I kinda think Im asking a dumb question..."My carts work fine, should I keep using it?"...but I guess you know what Im sayin.

I buy all my carto's from madvapes. I use each one for four days, rinse them, boil them for five minutes. Then I blow them out(cool them down first) and put them on a cookie sheet in the oven on 180 degrees for 45 minutes. I am able to use each one for an average of twenty days if I clean them. Ya, I know, I have a crazy way of doing things, but it works.

For me, if it's not broke, don't fix it. I just threw out my first cartomizer, couldn't draw on it, I believe it lasted me around two weeks.
