Ego-C + Smoktech DCT = Failure?

[gallahant]

Hello everybody. I got a Smoktech DCT V2 3,5ml and some dc cartos 1.5ohm. I filled the first one with some tobacco liquid and put it in the tank, and filled the tank aswell. Waited a few minutes and vaped. Draw is so airy its making me bloat! Vapor is not so good, flavor is kind of decent, throat hit is little. Tried another carto, different liquid, same results. I must say i am using 18mg liquids but the throat hit is barely there, whereas on my ego-c atty i get some more throat hit, although i dont get flavor there.

Why this is happening? I know i am new to cartos but i did everything right, filled up and everything. Also when i fire up the cartos they sizzle too much like they are dry, although they are full. Maybe i can try slotting the cartos with a dremel? I know the hole is too small on these but my liquids are not thick, they are 70/30.

Anybody can give an advice? Thank you.

If it's a genuine Joyetech eGo-C battery, then it's only outputting 3.3v regulated which might not be enough for the DC carto in the tank. I have a set of CE4+ clearos that run @ 2.5 - 2.8 ohms and they don't hit well on these batteries either. You probably need at least 3.7v - 4.2v to get decent performance on a DC.

Welcome , and also , what is the pg/vg ratio ??? Juices with most or all pg , have very little vapor , but are better on TH , and flavor . Just the opposite for vg . ( more vapor , Less TH and flavor . ) Those tanks seem to work real well on voltages of at least 3.7 , but I use mine at 5 volts .

It is genuine Joyetech 650mah. I too believe that it is weak for these cartos, but i dont like the super airy draw either which i dont think its the batterys fault.

Renzuli i state in my first post, its 70pg/30vg

Hi Gallahant. I switched from 510 "tank" attys to a carto tank about a week ago and it took me a couple of days to get used to the lighter draw on the carto (although take that with a grain of salt b/c I use a different carto than you). If the carto is filled well, I'm pretty sure adding a slot won't help. Try changing how you draw to see if that improves performance, or if you prefer a stiffer draw, you can use a cut carto condom (like a wide o-ring) to partially cover the air passage slots/holes.

Hope that helps.

I believe your equation is true.

3.63 watts. Doesn't sound like good vaping to me. Honestly, I'd stick to 1.5 or 1.25 ohm single coil cartos on such a low voltage device. Single coils work better in tanks anyway, it's always the top coil on those dual coil cartos that burn up, better to stick with one coil down near the bottom where the tank can keep it wet. Even a 1.7ohm resurrector is going to be pretty cool on that device, at 6.4 watts.

I went ahead and ordered some boge xl cartos both low and high resistance to experiment and find the best combination. I hope they are better as i read very good comments.
Vaping sucks in Cyprus, no local shops that carry accesories, only ego devices and dekang juices, bleahh. Ordering from abroad is a pain in the *ss!
@ynzr: I tried different ways of drawing like, hard draw, relaxed draw, short draw, long draw. Any way of draw on these cartos feels like im inhaling helium from a ballon :P
On a side note, my provari shipped yesterday so i hope from next week i will be in vaping paradise!

My first tank, wasn't everyones? , a DCT using an Ego C battery.

Same result as yours. Underwhelmed.

Found Resurrectors. They are Smoke Tec 1.7 single coils. They are called resurrectors as they resurrect the Ego battery.

Anyway doesn't matter really once you get the Vari the Ego is suddenly a backup.

Really is a great device. I was so impressed I bought two lol

interesting, i am not the only one that noticed this. Honestly i use the 650's (genuine ego's) for my ego-t which works awesome, i save the 900mah (again genuine ego) for my dct 6ml tank or the 1100mah (NOT genuine) for the stardust.....i know the 650's and 900 are the same volts (3.3) but it is more then odd how a higher mah makes it work better.......
