Quick question

[silverrocks]

I am addicted to COV's butterscotch, hence I just ordered another 59ml and thought I might as well try COV's xxl dual coil 1.5-2.0 ohm smoktech cartos. I usually order the 1.7 SINGLE coils smoktechs from Happy Vapor, but got really frustrated since 12 out of 15 were DOA. Here's my question. COV's dual coils are completly silent, no crackle, nothing. The carto get's pretty hot as well as the Stealth body. Is my battery to weak to handle those dual coils and if so could I ruin my Stealth? Thanks so much for your input.

I think you might be in the wrong forum group bro. Lol.

Hmmm. My wife uses my stealth with those cartos. She is one to complain about everything and has not said anything about either of them getting hot. Does it get that hot with just one of them so far?

I sometimes put 1.25 ohm dual coil cartos in my SS DCT MAP tank onto my SS Stealth (with AW IMR 18350s) and I've had no problems. The 1.25ohms should pull higher amerpage than the 1.5-2 smoketechs, so the battery isn't your issue. I'm guessing that one of your coils is blown, which would explain the hot body/button. Try putting the carto in question on a provari if you have one to see if you get an E1 message, and if not, multimeter it to check the resistance. If it registers 1.5ish, then you're in the clear. But if it says 4ish, then that means one of the coils blew.

On a side note, invest in some AW IMR 18350s if you don't already use them. They're all rated at 5amps, so you won't have any problems on that front.

You're running at 9 watts with a 1.5 ohm atty at 3.7 volts. That's 2.5 amperes which is a discharge rate of about 3.4c. What is the rated discharge capacity of your batteries?

Yes, just got the first out of the package. Maybe I got a bad one. Sorry if it's the wrong forum. Where should I have posted it? Just want to make sure I'm not damaging my Stealth.

I would be more concerned with over-loading the battery. If that's not happening your stealth shoud be perfectly happy.

AW's 18350's are all I use for the Stealth. Can't compare, I got rid of all my mods since I got the Stealth. Had nothing but hassle lately with cartos. Blew about 50 bucks within 3 weeks on DOA's. But when the smoktecks do work (I'm talking about the 1.7 ohm Single coils, this is the first time I ordered dual's) they are fantastic, hence I ordered all the way from Canada, nobody carries them here. I'll try another one out of the pack and see if I still have the same issue. Maybe its time for an Ody after all. Thanks for your guys' input.

I quit buying ST DC cartos because they were crap.

None I had ever worked well.

Some good knowledge here Silver. Hope you get it worked out....

The aw imr 18350 is rated at 8c continual discharge. You've got a very safe margin. Using 1.5 ohm attys or cartos you'll get about 15 minutes of continual vaping i.e. holding the button down for 15 minutes total. More than that and you may risk over discharging the battery.

All that said, if your batteries are getting hot, you may be pushing them too hard? Might want to pick up a fresh set.
