Cartomizers last for about 35-40 normal cigarettes worth of smoking use. If you chain smoke and inhale frequently, this will rapidly reduce the time a cartomizer will last. In your first month you may find that you use more cartomizers than necessary while you become accustomed to using your e cigarette and learn how to maximise cartomizer performance. Once familiar with smoking the electronic cigarette, a 20-a-day smoker will typically require around 20 cartomizers per month.
An average smoker should only to need to inhale 7 or 8 times from the electronic cigarette to receive the full effect. Inhaling 7 to 8 times is the equivalent of smoking a full regular cigarette. Unlike a real cigarette, you can simply inhale two or three times at your leisure and 'smoke' it later without wasting a cartomizer. Each cartomizer contains enough nicotine solution to deliver 250-300 puffs depending on how long and how deep you inhale. Drawing on the filter for 3-4 seconds and holding the vapor back for 2-3 seconds before exhaling will offer the best experience but may reduce the overall amount of puffs available.
Important Tip - Don't chain smoke. After 7-8 draws from the electronic cigarette, put it away and use again later.
Please ensure you recycle your depleted cartomizers and batteries. For information about recycling our products, please see Recycling Electronic Cigarette Cartomizers and Batteries.
