How did you calculate ?

Calculating the uses is weird, what matters is the number of refills that you get. After 7 refills (that can be done between 2 and 7 backs), you bypass the rentability of pots. Every back gives you 300 health if you use all charges. If you only back 2 times, you get 300(first time)+2*300=900 health for your gold. If we also consider the mana given, I guess you pass pots around 5 refills.

Another way to calculate it would be to consider the gold given. Every stack of refil gives you 37.33 worth of gold (112 for refilling 3 stacks at once). Considering the initial gold value is 112, your second back already gives you 111 gold advantage over health and mana pots (using every stack before backing every time).
