1.5 ohm carts on the X2?

[godAWFUL]

So...I'm trying to figure out if I got a dud of a cartomizer or if they just don't work on the X2...

Can anyone offer some insight?

they do not work. 2.0 ohm do not work. haven't tryed a 2.5, they might.
they will work on your volt shorty and reg volt. ?

Volt cartomizers are 2.8 ohm so I'd stick with something as close to that as possible.

Probably the protection circuits in the battery see that as a short, and won't let it turn on. We all know what happens when a battery shorts? I think these have protections to avoid those types of mishaps. Imagine? Or Konstantine?

you should be able to run as low as 2.1 ohms... it will drain the battery faster though

There are no protection circuits in those batteries. However there is a max C discharge current (pulse and normal)
On the 78mm batteries you can discharge up to 10C (max pulse 15C but you have to avoid doing that even just for tests).

I have no X2 batteries for dissasembly nor the cash to buy them all and look inside.
They normally have to have some circuitry inside or if the short guys just placed a diode for economy, i have no idea.
I would not recommend to use lower resistances tho since so little is known for those bats yet.

Ouch. I was hoping to at least be able to do 2.0 ohms...

Thanks for the help guys!
