I just saw this on VaporKings

The significantly interesting thing about these 1.5 Ohm cartomizers is that they work well on devices from 3.7 volts up to 6 volts -without- a scorching burning flavor. The dual coil design allows the heat to be evenly dispersed inside the cartomizer.

So the problem is just that some devices won't fire them? But it's okay to use them if it will fire them?

IDK, I was reading last night that someone fried a switch in their mod at 6v with them. They rock at 3.7v, IDK why folks are firing them at 6v TBH.

IDK if it makes a diffidence but I am using them on my VV Darwin and can vape from 3.7 to 5.8 and that's all my Darwin will allow it to go from high to low and have no problem on either settings. I am using the XL Clear Duel ones at 2.5 ohm maybe that's the difference on the high end volts I get the 2.5 reading on the low and high end when vaping.

BTW, the clear tube can be removed so you can clean the stuffing and sleeve. Just screw it loosely onto the battery, then wiggle to and fro. You can see then if it is burnt (probably the sleeve if it is [you can remove the burnt part]) or carmelized (which would have happened in any LR carto). You don't even need to clean out the fluid, just leave it in the filling.

What is the mAh on the batt babe?


err..... :blink: ... how do I know?



These cartos are bullcrap. A friend gave me a brand new clear dual core, she just got a 5 pack in. <snip>
Waste of juice and they can bite me. Going back to my CE2s.

I had the same issues with the C2's. It was the juice content (too much VG) and everything turned "burnt" tasting and brown after a day's use. This was up to R4.
I have only been using this Dual for a day, and it's SS, so I can't see inside, but AFAIK, it's vaping fine.

My guess on that would be a higher amperage pull - these things pull a decent amount of power. With it being at 6v and higher amps the goal wattage would increase and kill a lower overall power(watts) switch. Something that most of the folks in this industry seem to hide is the c-rating (sustained and burst time) so it's hard to say what is either safe for the batteries or the system as a whole until people start nuking stuff and find out the hard way :/

Well the mod might be homemade (it's Boxy from Lynlee♥) but the battery is.. AW 16340 3.7 ah... 550mah! :)

Well, the duals should work fine with it, but it will shorten the charge life. If you are getting about 6-7 hours out of a charge, expect closer to 5-6 hours with the duals. If you're getting 5 hours before, expect closer to 4 hours. If you are getting less than 4 hours out of your box, its time to either cut back your vaping, or get new batteries.

Batteries are rated at a discharge measured in C - which is easy to understand once explained reasonably well - which I will try to do. :)

The C stands for "capacity" - the total charge of a battery. So for simplicity we will choose a 1000mah battery. In it's simplest terms, that means that this battery can supply 1 amp for one hour constantly before it is discharged. If you only pull .5 amp, then it would last two hours. The C rating governs what can safely (for the battery) be discharged over a period of time. So if a battery says that it can handle a .5C discharge - then it can in our example only handle .5amp costant discharge for two hours.

Now most batteries can burst safely above the constant C - so say 1C for 15 seconds - anything above this will start to decrease the life of the battery. What makes things harder to measure, is that they have a rest cycle for the safe burst C rating - which can vary as widely as the batteries themselves.

So all of that to say - if your battery is a 1000mah, and the cart is pulling say 2amps, then that is a 2c discharge rate. If your batt is not rated for that, it will work more than likely, but each time it is decreasing the overall capacity and life of the battery.

Hopefully that helps and makes sense :)

I'm so confused. Will it shorten the battery life permanently?? Or just while vaping. ? Is there a chance I'll blow it out completely?? The switch or mosfet or whatever? I'm kinda liking this. So far all good.
:/
It may shorten the life of your battery, but mainly because you will have to charge it more often. If you had to charge it once a day before, now you may have to charge it three times every two days. The batteries are made to last 500 charges (or whatever). So you may have to replace the battery a couple months earlier.
