1.7ohm SmokTech cartomizers, what are your thoughts????

[Dusty_D]

You choosing to disagree with me, is your choice! If one does not know that they have to fill a carto, it stands to reason that one should not be using it, or should learn how to use it first. Whether they do it by trial and error, or by asking questions here is their choice.

That is what we are here for, is it not?!

Yes, I agree with you on that, but in my opinion, I'm thinking that maybe the op does not know that...I do not know how long they are vaping...maybe, the op is vaping a couple of weeks...let's ask the member.

 

[FRANKSTER]

It ain't just me. There's a couple of us here that love this carto. Chinner and RolandPibb are two that come to mind. Pherse is a recent convert, but I'm sure there's a few more that I'm missing.

I did not see that the member joined the forum in march 11...based on that, my opinion to the member does not make sense...they should know after all that time...my mistake...I never look at that.

Going to have to go with dusty on this one Its not like all these products have an extensive instruction sheet and even if they did most wouldnt even read them. I would be curious to know how many ppl have walked away from vapeing and gone back to analogs because they couldnt get there gear dialed in properly.

Exactly! The sad part I think is that most folks don't care about buying packs of analogs, but when it comes to e-cigs they grab the cheapest one that they can find, and then are disappointed by the performance of them.

The ones that take the time to research or are advised by friends or relatives that are already established vapers usually fare better.

I've been a noob myself and and when you are on that stage you don't have anything to compare things with. On a 3.7V device, ie, Egos, slims, etc, a 2ohm carto or higher produces a fair amount of vapor. You're usually fine with that because you're a noob. Then you'll start wondering what all these LRs and DCs all about. Long story short, if you have a 3.7V device a 1.7ohm carto is the most suitable fit. In other words, it's the right combo. In some 3.7V devices anything lower won't even work. Anything higher like 2ohm will not be satisfying. 2ohm cartos and higher are for vv mods where you can set the voltage to at least 4.2V and higher.

My point exactly "We were all Noobies once" And info like what JQ just posted is exactly what IMO these boards are for. Simple information like that is invaluable to a new user and helps to save people money instead of trying every carto etc out there trying to find what works best.

 

[Dusty_D]

I'm not a newbie, and I still try everything atleast once.. grumble grumble, damn addicition.

As JQ said, 1.7 or 1.8 seems to be the perfect fit for most 3.7v devices, and should be the new standard for SR atties, instead of SR being 2.3 ohms.

How long are these cartos? Are they the same length as the ST dual coils that fit in the dual coil tanks? Just without the flare at the bottom?

Tube length is 35mm, and it's 39mm with the threads. Standard 510/901 driptips fit in them. I believe they are slightly shorter than the dual coils by about 5mm.

I like these, they're nice. Vapor very good, smooth draw, decent flavour. My biggest complaint is that my Boge LRs perform just as good, if not better, and last quite a bit longer. So I'll stick with them.

 

[hubseven]

Boge 2.0 are good, but for me 1.7 Resurrectors are the deal, it gives me a bit warmer vape, which I like. Tastes vary.

Off topic for a second...great pic...what memories it brings back...wow!!!!

 

[shack22]

So--has anyone used these in a 5ml tank--are they long enough?

I find the Boge a little airy if that even makes sense to anyone cuz it does to me and thats all thay matters

That's my question, too. I have the 3ml and the 6ml smoktech tanks and am not really liking the pre-punched dual coil cartos with the bottom flare that are meant for the tanks.... Will these 1.7s fit??

 

[KillFace]

Also, I can't seem to get a straight answer to this question: is there any issue with using these cartos on a eGo type battery (like my KSD VV eGo (3.2, 3.7, 4.2v))

My supplier says "No they are for mod devices that run on protected and IMR batteries for the most part anything eGo like are not recommended" but several of you here say they should be fine...... What gives??

 

[Dusty_D]

KillFace, let me take a crack at both your questions:

* The XL version of these 1.7's that I bought from HealthCabin are the same length as the Dual Coil Cartos. These should and will fit a standard size tank system. So, that is all you need to be aware of when buying. Madvapes for example carries the slightly shorter 39mm ones.

* They are single coil cartos, and as such should not pose a problem for eGo style batteries. I've routinely run 1.8 and even 1.5 ohm atties/cartos on my eGo batts without problem. The ones that are not really recommended for eGo style batteries are the Dual Coil Cartos.

Hope this information helps you and Shack.

Happy Vaping!!

I haven't had any troubles using them on my 1100mah eGo LCD, besides the fact that I do prefer the Boge LRs, of course I have read that there can be issues but I haven't had any at all.

Wait, the dual coils are not recommended for ego? Well THAT'S news to me. I've been using a dual coil with a tank and that's what I'm not liking. It just doesn't produce enough vapor..... So I guess perhaps my supplier meant to tell me that it's the dual coils that I shouldn't be using.....huh. Guess Ill get some of the XL 1.7s

These are not XL and won't fit in the tank, right?

But are otherwise fine for my batt?


Are these the ones you are talking about, Dusty?
