510 cartomizer selecting...ohms, mah's...???

[TGT]

I have a 510 joyetech (small, slim battery) : Canadian E-cigarette Happy/Joye 510 'Kit & Kaboodle' Starter Kit -Black, Silver, Copper, White

I dont know what mah's the battery is and I have no idea if I'm using the right cartomizer or not.

I have ce2 2.4-2.6 ohm cartomizers : Blank (empty) cartomizers (cartridge + atomizer combined into a single unit) for the 510 model of e-cigarette.

I also purchased a pack of dual coil cartomizers, but now am thinking these will burn the battery or something. Here are the ones I bought: Smok Tech Dual Coil LR Cartomizers for 510, Ego, Rev V.2.1, LEA (5/box)

Any input on the right cartomizers to use and what not to use would be appreciated...Thanks

For the smaller 510 batteries I'd stick with standard resistance cartos/ atty's. The lowest I'd use would be around 2.5 ohm. You can go higher in ohms. 3.0's would work almost as well. Higher then that and you won't get much vapor.

The small batteries just can't handle the amperage that a low resistance carto needs.

I bought a kit that included 2ohm kanger cartos and have been using them and boge 2ohm cartos without any problems . The standard 510 manual battery is 150 mah the autos are 180 mah . I have some longer 510 batteries that are 280 mah . You can try your dual coil cartos at your own risk . 510 batteries are not really that expensive if you shop around so you can get more if the cartos burn out your battery . 3ohm cartos work fine and are the recommended resistance for 510 batteries . With the lower resistance cartos I think heat is the enemy so if you don't chain vape you might get away with a LR carto IMHO .

Bite the bullet and order a couple of eGo 1000mah batteries. They will cost you about $20 US, but will give you good vapes with Boge 2.0 cartos and they work fine with LR dual coils, in spite of what people say. I don't use dual coils that much, but they do work fine. Boge 2.0 cartos are very good on the eGo batts.

If you want a 3.7v vape, order the 1100mah eGo batt. The 1000mah batt is regulated to 3.4v. I like the 1000mah batt because you get 3.4v from start to finish, unlike the unregulated 3.7v batts that decrease in voltage as you vape.

Look around and you can find them much cheaper. I picked up 6 of the 1100mAh batteries from one of the Chinese sites for $8 a piece. Probably not 'genuine Joye' batteries but they work well so far.

I paid for the 'slow' regular Chinese mail so it took a month to get them. Now I've got plenty and a few spares in case I mess up again.

Someone needs to make a sticky about Ohms Law. And set up a script that mails it to new members. There's an SAT study site that is actually very good at explaining all of this. SparkNotes: SAT Physics: Resistance

I second the sticky idea. I was just trying to figure out what I could and couldn't (shouldn't) use with my new eGo 650 battery.

Not just ohms law but the power equation, heat loss equation.
Maybe a couple basics on using a voltmeter or ohmmeter too.

I've had the basic electricity courses several time but never really made it much further.
I understand that but it would have more impact coming from someone with a stronger background. Like a licensed electrician or someone with a degree in electronics or electrical engineering.
