Hello there! Newb here, just a quick question on when to change the carto when you are using a tank. I am currently using mom&pop mini sub and I am liking it. Do you have a sign if you need to replace your carto? Thank you.
When to change your carto?

I've the same one in since Jan. 21st, lol. I stuck a paperclip thru the center hole yesterday because the draw was getting tight- like new again!
There was some black stuff on it tho, which is kindof gross. At this rate, I could just get a whole new tank w/ carto and still be cost effective.
Generally tho, most folks throw them out when they get loss of vapor or the draw gets hard. I think these meter the juice so well that it doesn't happen too quickly.

That's the beauty of tanks, is that the only thing you actually have to replace is the carto. I've read a lot of posts where people usually get a couple of weeks out of a carto in a tank. Darker/thicker juice kills faster, light/thin juice lasts longer. Then there's always good cartos and duds. Many variables for sure.
cartos are so cheap, when the draw tightens up I try to finish the tank out so as not to waste too much juice, then I toss them. If you let them go too long they can start leaking, start to taste funny (metallic) or just reduce the flavor of your juice, and definitely tighten up the draw to an unpleasant degree. Any of these to me is an excuse to start a new one.
Tightness in draw and reduce of flavor, the thing is about loosing of flavor, dont know if i am vaping too much since I do loose the flavor halfway through the day. I just think my taste buds are going wacko on me...
Thanks guys for quick responses!

I average 1 week per carto in a tank. Some of my juices are lighter while others are on the dark side. All of my juices are a 70/30 or 80/20 pg/vg ratio. It doesn't seem to make a difference as to which type of carto used either. I have fusions, boge 2 and 3 ohm and smoktech 1.7's (resurrectors). Once the flavor goes or they start gurgling, I replace em.
r77r7r - quick question, you had yours since Jan 21st... what juice was in there? I take it that you have an all day vape... what is it?
Mostly 70/30 unflavored with a few drops of premixed 70/30 store bought stuff, or something from the kitchen. I don't like the taste or smell of any store bought juice all day long. I don't want anything messing with my ability to smell and taste after 35 yrs. on ciggies.
Depends on the juice. I've had cartos last over a month and some last only a few days. If you are cheap like me, you can clean several at a time by boiling them on the stove for 15 or 20 min and then letting them dry out for a few days. Cleans up all the gunked-on juice and they will perform almost like new again in some cases.
Here are some signs to let you know it's time to toss it: tight draw, lack of performance, and burnt flavor. If you get any one of these then your carto is dying. The third one on the list means you need to toss it immediately. Since your inhaling smoke and not vapor.
