Can I use regular resistance cartos on any of the pigcigs, the BOSS, either of the noegos, or an Ego-T?
What's really the difference, anyway?

berger

low resistance cartos run hotter because they allow more current through.
SR are fine on those to use but they wont be as hot and the battery charge will last longer due to less current.
basically anything you can run lr on is fine for sr from a safe for it point of view
but sometimes if you run too low a resistance the current draw gets high enough to damage the units electronics. If they say not for use below 1.8 ohms you can damage the device using lower ohms then suggested. It doesn't happen always right away either...several times Ive had stuff work for a couple weeks then quit from working while using 1.5 ohm DCC's

Teri

Ok, I'm one of those that prefers a cooler vape not warmer. So if I use the SR cartos, I'll probably like them better, right? Do they make them in dcc?

Edit: I'd like to try them on my rocket BM and the rocket mod a lot of us got too .

berger

Yea..if you like cooler they will be that depending on what ohms you go with.
LR SC's can run as hot tasting as lower Ohm DCCs like a 1.8 SCC seems just as hot as a 1.5 ohm DCC as the heat is all in a more concentrated area or how close the coil is to the end..not sure why..just is.. IMO
Im not sure about the DCC's and available ohm ratings out side of 1.5??
what ohm ratings are you looking at? 2, 2.5 or something else.??

All I have seen are 1.5 and lower, 1.7 and 1.8, but I think someone is selling a 2.0, although I can't remember who.

Teri

I haven't looked yet. I wanted to know this info so that I can look around and see. No sense wasting time looking if its something I don't wanna try or if it will damage my devices.
Do you forfeit flavor or gain flavor with the standard resistance? If you gain, I'll go for it. If not, I'll stick with the LR cartos. (DTS)

berger

I would suggest around 2 ohm then...have you ever used the boge lrs? the resurrectors or the rejuvenators are just 1.8 ohm or higher SCC XL's if you want to try those..can be a little cheaper then dccs. Are you using tanks at all?..if you try the ST ones you may end up liking the convenience as compared to the honkers (megas)..
I wouldn't go higher 2.5 ohm for standard 3.7 V devices or I think you would be pretty unimpressed with the lack of vapor..even that might be pushing it if your used to LR stuff

Teri

All I've ever used is scc for the pigcig and honkers and dccs for 510 on my other stuff. When I got the Ego-T from Mike, I thought that pretty neat, and easy to deal with for me. So now (feeling like a noob again) I'm doing a little exploring.
Devices:
3 - 650 pigcigs
2 - 900 pigcigs
3 - BOSS /EPowers
2 - Ego-T
1 - 18650 noego
1 - Rocket BM
1- Rocket mod

Oh! And a jazz carto pipe that only gets looked at cause it's way too pretty to vape. (it's home decor)
Start at the bottom and go up for preferred vaping order. DAMN Sam! I've accumulated a lot more than I realized.

Steampunk

Anything bigger than 1100MAH should handle 1.5 ohm cartos and up.

berger

well when you break it all down they're all just batteries and switches...sure some of them last longer then others..
but what changes are you making other wise? the T's are OK but I wasn't real impressed with the tanks mostly cause the attys and some leaking issues
Im really much more happy with the carto tanks..with an all day battery and filled up tank your pretty much set for day with no fuss.. at least with the ST tank you can change out cartos types to suit what you like..ive pretty much settled in to this as the least amount of hassle that gets the job done well..

Teri

And, I thought I was settled in with the BOSS and stronger with honkers. Then I realized that the single coil pigcig mega cartos were giving me better flavor. (When I half a$$ reviewed the lemon drop juice) Now I'm all confused again. (Not to mention a bit frustrated)

vapeip

id suggest you try some with alil high # and the next high and see what ya like itll be alil cooler and maybe taste better.

..... ST tank FTW and you can get different ohm pre punched shouldered ST's for them too

vapeip

*higher .....x2

Hey Teri!

I know preferences vary, but when I had my Boss, I preferred the Resurrectors the best. A little warmer, but the overall increased performance was noticeable, both flavor and throat hit.

Good luck!!

Teri,
A Standard Resistance Carto will not hurt any of the devices you own.
A Single Coil Standard Resistance Carto (SCSRC ) of about 2.0 to 2.8 ohms would be optimum for a cooler vape on 3.7 volts. Single coil carto of 3.0 to 3.2 would be pretty weak on 3.7 volts. Anything over 3.2 ohms, single coil would not be worth the effort.

Dual coils 1.5 to 1.7 ohms (3 to 3.4 each coil) are probably your best bet for a dual coil.
A 2.0 ohm dual coil has a pair of 4 ohm coils in it. THese would hardly vape at all on 3.7 volts.

So, in short, for a cooler vape on 3.7 volts, use a 2.0 ohm eGo Mega single coil.

For dual coil use the 1.7 ohm Ego mega dual coil (available in round or flat tip).



BTW, the swamplady is now using a 6.5ml tank and 1.7 ohm flanged resurrectors.
The tank seems to help just a little with the heat.

bamsbbq

i use a Boge 2.0LR on everything i own... i find the hit just right...just warm enough

1 ego 900mah - 1 ego-t 1000mah and a rocketmod...liquid 50/50 pg/vg and it seems to works nicely on everything

Teri

Thanks rocket.... You always seem to know exactly the info I'm looking for. Must be from experience with the swamp lady. Did I forget to mention in my list that my Ego-Ts are 1100 mah? Ok, now where can I get the single coil mega cartos that hold 4.5 ml?

WyldRice

My favorite set-up!
I am running the exact same thing on an eGo 1000mah.
I noticed the heat issues also, so today I tried to "punch" a single coil resurrector and swap the dual coil it came with-

Oops- the hole was a tad too big! It leaked like crazy.
I lost about 5ml of cotton candy. I'm going to order the next ones prepunched!

Teri

Thanks to Robert at GCV, I have lr and sr single coil cartos to compare, along with a few extra goodies. I'll try them out this week and let y'all know how I feel about them.
Thanks Robert! It was a great pleasure to meet you today!

Mswisher6

sweet Teri hope it works out well

Hou998

Your welcome Teri. It will be nice to see what you think of these sc cartos over the honkers. I do not care for the reg size dc's myself...the honkers I like...love the 1.7 sc (for tobaccos) and 2.0 ohm sc (for fruits/sweets).

It was great meeting you too! Love face to face, shaking hands and talking over internet sales. Can't beat the old ways of doing business.

RY4

Well hello stranger! How ya been?

Hou998

Heya RY4. Been good. How are things in your neck of the woods?

Teri

I've got both cartos loaded up with the same flavor so I can compare. Right now I'm making sure that both 1100mah ego-t batteries from Mikie are fully charged and then I can compare the two equally.

RY4

They've been ok. Trying to get stuff done. Don't be a stranger.
