How long does a cart last?
It depends on the size and how you use it. Put in your cart size and puffs a day, and the calculator gives you a rough number of days.

How long will my cart last?
Pick your cart size and how you use it.
Roughly
20–31 days
about 250 average puffs in the cart
Estimate only. It assumes an average 3-second puff draws about 4 mg of oil. Thicker oil, a higher voltage or longer draws use more; the real figure can land outside this range.
A 1 g cart holds roughly 250 average puffs; a 0.5 g cart about half that. How many days that means depends on how often you use it and how long each puff is — the calculator above does the sum for you.
How long does a 1g cart last?
At around ten average puffs a day, a 1 g cart lasts in the region of three to four weeks. Someone who takes a couple of puffs on a weekend can make the same cart last months.
How long does a half gram cart last?
About half as long as a 1 g cart at the same pace. Half-gram carts suit people who use a vape now and then, or who want to try a strain before buying a bigger size.
What makes a cart run out faster
- Long draws — a five-second puff uses well over the oil of a short one.
- High voltage — more heat vaporises more oil per puff.
- Leaks and clogs — oil lost in the mouthpiece or the battery threads never gets used. The cart troubleshooter covers those.
How to make a cart last longer
Use the lowest voltage that gives you a good hit, keep draws short, and store the cart upright at room temperature so the oil stays where the coil can reach it.
