2 ohm dual coil carts, Vamo V3 and 18650 IMR... good/bad combo

[LeoRex]

I have a Vamo V3 running Efest 2250 18650 IMRs... I just picked up one of the smok glass DCT tanks, with a 5 pack of 2.5 ohm dual coil cartos to go with it. I don't have any glass devices yet, and I wanted to try a tank, so I figured I'd give the dual coils a shot along with it.

Is that going to be a problem? I know that dual coils will drain the battery quicker than single coils... but I just read somewhere that a DC carto on a 18650 isn't going to work all that well and that I should run stacked 18350s if I am going to the DC route.

Is that true?

(Edited.. 2.5, not 2.0)

Not sure what you're asking, but I am running a UDCT with 2.0 two hole Boges with the 650 battery and I don't find anything lacking.

That's pretty much what I was looking for. I've seen a few people say that unless I run stacked batteries, it'll work like crap.

How quickly does it kill the charge?

And they are 2.5 ohm... dual coil

I have a feeling I am going to have a pack of useless carts. $10 learning experience.. Drats

It will depend at what power setting you use for the coil. This video has some nice charts that explain it: Vamo Full Review with Charts - YouTube

Basically, a single battery starts to hit limitations at above 10W. If you're going to be vaping at power levels above that, you'll want to use stacked 18350's.

This usually only applies to dual coil setups. My favorite dual coil vape is 1.5ohms at 12W. A 2ohm DC might require 12-14W depending on your preference. It could be lower, in which case you're fine.

Man, keep flipping back and forth... but I think those coils will be hands off until I grab some 350s.... guess it's as good an excuse try a stacked set up.

I was silly enough to buy some 2.5ohm DC's. I have to set the Vamo @ 12.5 watts to get a decent vape with 'em so yeah, stacked 350's. I'm OK with that cuz in 18650 mode everything I put on it seems a little lame, just like my old V1 LavaTube.
