2X3.7's ?

[steven.rn]

Uh... I do have tenergy 3.0's, but I was wondering if anyone knows if you can squish 2 16340's into a Big chuck... the 18650's are 65 mm long, and 2 16340's should only be about 70 mm's.... ? Seems like there would be enough play to sqwoosh 'em in there....

 

[Mr Sinister]

I believe the 16340's and the CR123's are the same size. So they will fit, but two would be a lot of volts going to the atomizer. I guess the question is why? I think that would burn some stuff up pretty quick.

 

[Houdini]

Yeah, that would be real close to 7-1/2 volts. 6v in some cases is too much. I don't think any atty would last long at 7-1/2.

 

[AngusATAT]

Yep, they fit. I've used them.


Not for long, though. Way too much voltage.

I've heard the HV attys take off like 2 volts? If that's true, wouldn't you get closer to the 5v sweet spot with the 2 3.7's than 2 3v's?

 

[redgirl]

Yes, I've used them with an HV atty and it is the shiznit. There are different Ohm attys available now. I got them from Nhaler and they now have a tab for HV attys. I got the 510. There are 2 types, one is 4.5 Ohms which are supposed to bring 6V to around 5V. The other attys are 5 something Ohms (the ones I ordered), and are meant to bring the 7.2V to around 5. I actually just got the 4.5 Ohm attys in yesterday, but can't try them until I mail my Chuck in for repair and get my precious back.

The HV attys don't take off any volts. They are just higher resistance. I really wish he would change his description. It's misleading. Just read up here if you want the details of why I say that...

But... the 5+ ohm HV attys are able to handle the 8.4V that will come from two 3.7V 16340's. I have several custom 801's (not nhalers) that are made specifically for 8.4V vaping and they hit like a freight train.
While the Nhaler (nerf) attys aren't quite as good as the ones I use, they are still a better hit than anything using less than 8V. You better stock up on juice though, cause they get really thirsty at that level.

...and I would not recommend using any stock attys at 8V. 8-o

I'm in the same boat. My 4.5 atty's arrive tomorrow, and my Chuck arrives back at Jeff's tomorrow.

At that level, I'd just dump some juice on my tounge and stick it in a outlet.

I know what you're saying about not taking off volts (I read that whole thread) But it certainly has the best throat hit and flavor I have experienced yet! And yes, it eats up juice like no tomorrow. I gotta stock up if I wanna keep vaping like this!

Yeah, one advantage to going to the 8V+ level, is that the throat hit and nic absorption goes way up, so you can buy high nic juice and double (or triple) the amount by mixing it down.

TY HP and all for the feedback; the atty I got from drew has 5.5 ohm resistance and I got a feeling it would work better at the higher voltage; it pretty much doesn't perform well at 6v (well, with the 2 3.0 tenergys I got) so I'm hoping that the addl. kick will do the trick.

As it is, until I try this, I was wishing the 4.5's were on the site when I ordered the first time... live and learn. Maybe the 5.5 will kick .... tho.

The 3.0 tenergy batts do pretty good with the KR carto.

Not to hijack thread what happen to your Chuck did USPS kill it? If they did I am so sorry and again I say off with there heads!

I tried the 5.5 ohm ones on 6V and yeah, teh suck. I wanna know how everyone gets cartos to hold up at 6V??? They were way harsh for me.

Completely different story at 2 3.7's. Wow. They rock.

Complete vouch for this post from experience now.

Isn't it great? I'm using my stock 510 now and the throat hit totally sucks compared to that! I keep drawing and drawing with no satisfaction!

Every place you have 8.4V typed don't you mean 7.4V? 2x3.7=7.4.

 

[Mr Sinister]

With a full charge they read about 4.2 volts. I think that's what he is saying.

 

[Houdini]

Oh, ok. I didn't think of it that way.
