Generally true. I avoid most dual coils on eGos. If you have Joye eGo batts, they do well on Joye eGo 1.5Ω 510 and 306 attys and the eGo mega attys for some reason, but other 1.5 Ω or below, you're on your own ... based on my experience.
You can also get into trouble if by gunk on the coil, etc., where a 1.8 ohm coil drops below say 1.5 ohms. The three flashes of the button led indicates a short. With the eGo-c and eGo-c upgrade batts, you get one more short before they die, because of the upgraded short protection in those type batts. With the other joye eGos and cloned eGos, you'll likely have a dead batt.
I've heard that the eGo style batteries like the 1.8 or higher resistance coils. Is this true? And a thumbnail of voltage drop vs. resistance.
Kent, I'd love to hear your opinion on something. I've owned an occasional Evod here and there since they were introduced, and I'm a little curious about the dual coil Evod 2 and Evod Glass. However, Kanger ships them with stock coils that are 1.5 ohm and in the back of my head I'm thinking "That seems awfully low." They do sell 2.0 ohm replacement heads, but the interesting thing is every video review I've seen of them (usually on a standard regulated Evod battery) is extremely positive.
Just hoping you'd share your 2 cents on this, and it's relevant to the OP. Thanks!
The 1.5ohm coils are the most available and some stores had the 2.0 ohm coils and 'promised' a 2.4-2.6 ohm version, but I've seen those promises disappear - heaven gifts had it stated as well as a few others. I no longer see the 2.4-2.6ohm mentioned but some sell the 2.0 ohm replacement coils:
note that at litecigusa (and also heaven gifts) they refer to them as the 'upgraded' coils. I had reported the problems I was having to heaven gifts who passed that on to the Kanger techs. Not sure if it solves the eGo problem. I had some from the original release and both the 1.5ohm and 2.0 ohm dual coils shorted the Joye eGos and the iTaste VV gave an error.
Kangertech Upgraded Replacement Coil Atomizer Head
Kanger Protank 3 BDC Replacement Heads, Kanger Protank 3 Clearomizer
The tank came with a 1.5 ohm dual coil and that worked, but seemed to stress the battery, the battery got warm with continuous vaping and seem to run out the charge quickly.
The vendor has sent me 1.5 ohm coils, though I'd placed an order for 2.0 ohm 5pack coil heads. Should I use them with clearos on an eGo VV battery?
