Hi, for the past few days, I have been using TW's new stardust v3 style 3.0ohm clearomizer but I started getting problems with the atomiser flooding and liquid leaking from the bottom so I have gone back to my 1.5ohm DCT. My question is; is it safe to use my twist at 4.6/4.8v with the DCT or am I looking for trouble? I don't understand if the 1.5ohm relates to the total resistance of the coils together or the resistance of each coil? Thanks, Chiller.
1.5ohm DCT and eGo Twist

I'll just say this from experience - I've vaped the Dual Coil EGo carts 1.6Ω at around 4-4.2V all day (and night
) on a joye passthrough hooked up which maintains peak voltage mostly with no problem. When I got the twist I vaped the same carto first at 4.2volts and then cranked it to 4.8V and it lasted about a minute or two before frying the carto - battery was ok though. I don't think it was 'just a coincidence' Since I tried vaping them at 4.4V and they get quite hot so I came back to the 4.0-4.2v range and again - good performance, good vapor, good flavor... I've since swapped that out to run either a cisco 306lr or Vapage's 'gold universal' 510 lr on the pt - wouldn't put them at 4.8v on the Twist either. So by experience it vapes a bit like true 1.6Ω but much cooler at 4-4.2v than a regular single coil atty, but 4.8 is too much, imo. There are other 'amp' factors of other attys I've seen where people can use them that high but they're specially amped for it, or so it is said. The ciscos burn hot, but they last for me sometimes over 3 months - popping and hissing like they do but again, they hold up.
I use a Gordie 1.5 ohm DCT on my twist, but I keep it at 4V or less. I think the twist will allow more amperage drain than a Echo or Riva 4.2V batt, since they will not power the DCT, and go into safety shutoff mode with it. So that tells me its a big drain, so I try to keep the voltage on the twist down. Same with my Lavatube V2 and the DCT.
I'd say you are asking for trouble, the device will see and react to the total load, makes no difference how many coils have been brought to the party.
At 4V a 1.5Ω load wants ~2.7A. That's a lot. For both the cell and the electronics, and that's not taking into consideration the efficiency loss that the cell will need to overcome. And since the Twist is boosting it will probably need to provide in excess of 3.5A, especially as it drains.
Food for thought.
