510 LR Atty, Mega Batt Combo. AWMG!

[$hua]

I just got home not 30min ago... Waiting for me in the mailbox is my latest shipment from madvapes.com

1 x Low Resistance (Bauway) 510 Atty

1x Standard (non bauway) 510 Atty

1x Replacement Mega Batt (thank you mark, a mans word is can be a powerful thing, and yours sir is solid.)

and of course some fresh apple.

So here it is: (keep in mind ive put in ~25min of train vaping 36mg Vanutla, at the time im posting this, ~30ish by the submit new thread button, ill come back tomorrow and edit this to give a more rounded opinion of a bit longer term vaping...)

I havent quite gotten to the math on the watts the LR atty & Mega batt combo is putting out.. still trying to find the specs on the batt.

HOWEVER, this is the effing bomb. I was totally in love with my 5v PT, until about 5min after i riped this package open. The 5v PT is (just my thoughts) producing too hot of a vapor for my taste buds.

But this LR atty/mega batt is prime grade A vape. It heats up fast, and i mean really fast, no primer puff is needed. I dont think it will be a good idea to let this atty get dry, even at bit. Im taking about 4sec pulls, with no primer puff and blowing out a cloud that i literally have to wait for it to clear to continue typing as its distorting my view of a 24in HDMI monitor.. just saying.

Seeing as im taking shorter draws, 4sec draws (8-9 sec slow draws on standard atty), the heat issue in the TH seems to be cleared up. were i to take an 8sec draw, i think the heat issue i was experiencing on my PT would resurface in this setup. Flavor seems to be intact while still producing the vapor i was looking for out of the 5v PT

The only real immediate issue i see (aside from the potential for this atty to get hot, and fast) none of the carts that i have that came with my 510 kit are fitting this LR atty. The cart is loose, and on first drag it stuck to my lip (kinda how a analog would stick to my lip resulting in a nice burn between my fingers). If anyone has thoughts on a better fitting cart please let me know.

Conclusion: Once i figure out the math on this set up ill edit and post it.
Long story short: Im ordering a few more LR attys from madvapes.com tomorrow.
Give em a try, best $8 i spent this week.

Edited: ok, so here is my math for this and please someone correct me if im wrong , ive said it before and ill say it again, i AM mathematically ......ed. That being said,

E/R = I : 3.7v/1.7ohm = 2.176~amps

2.176~amps (x) 3.7v = 8.052 Watt

8.052w taste effing Delicious with a few drops of Vanutla Cream

About the carts being just a little loose, here's a trick that I picked up on this forum at some point.

* heat a needle or straightened out paperclip in an open flame
* score the sides of the loose fitting cart with it a few times
(take the heated metal and drag it vertically down the side, you don't have to press hard)
* presto, cart fits more snugly!

When scoring it, some of the plastic melts in the groove being scored in... but that melted plastic gets deposited higher up on the edges of that groove which makes a tighter fit. I've done this with good results to a couple of loose fitting 510 carts.

The mega batts are low capacity (280 mAh), and the current/wattage demands you calculate are much more than they are designed to handle. You will likely damage the batts with LR attys. At best they will not recharge fully, and reach the end of their days much faster. At worst they can rupture or burn, although that has not been seen just yet...give it time. At the very least, the LR attys will drain them of charge far faster than regular attys.

Another point: the mega batts do not put 3.7V on the coil. More like 3.1V, so your wattage is not as high as you calculated. More like 5.7 W, which is actually where I personally like my wattage. But the above concerns still hold. The LR atty is really meant for larger batts like the 14500 (900 mAh) or bigger. There is even debate on whether the tornado batt (600 mAh) is big enough for them.

A 14500 box mod with a normal 2.5 ohm 510 atty will give the same wattage, and with far less risk to the hardware as your mega/LR combo. But good luck with it! It is when we push the envelope that we learn the most about things.

I bought an eGo based on what i was reading regarding the use of LR atty and the 510 mega batts....

I literally just recieved my eGo in the mail.. came to post how im diggin it... to find this response... (side note, my 510 is either being retired to "back up" or being sold off to a needy analog user)

suddenly im discouraged.. previously the posts i found suggested min 450mah.. which is why i just dropped 80 bones on an eGo... are my monies spent in vain?

i state this and i ask this: I have full intentions of using a LR atty, i suck at math and im not a fan of endless days of searching for "the perfect" mod/e-cig. Money is not too much of a concern, however excellence from a PV IS. that being said, what would you recommend? (im not too keen on the "big" "boxy" cumerbersome devices)

I use the LR atty on the Ego too, but if it's going to take away from the Ego's life, I'd drop the LR atty like a nuclear potato.

The Ego is, IMHO, the best of the best. I HAVE some of the other popular mods and, while they all have their places in my heart, but my Ego is STILL number one!

Simple "use" will take away from the life of a battery....

But it is probably safe to assume that drawing currents (power) like the LR atties do will accelerate the demise of the battery.. ANY battery.

And as was already noted, the manufacturers of the LR atties say not to use them on batteries less than 450mAH. The Mega batteries are not suitable (per the manufacturer) for use with the LR atties... although your mileage may vary.

And thats why i bought an eGo.... but ive read in two sperate threads today that the battery on the eGO may not be ample for an LR atty...

thoughts on that?

I use the Ego with the LR and have no problems..

I don't know why anyone would say that. The Tornado/eGo battery is 650mAH, which is above the suggested minimum. The combo works well together and I personally have been using my LR atties on my Tornado/eGo batteries for probably about a couple of months now.

In light of the fact the the 2 ppl that i read posts from regarding the LR atty on the eGO both had under 100 posts...

and i have now received 3 replys from members with 1k+ posts, stating that the manufacturers of the LR atty state using @ 450+mah, in addition to personal experience through usage.

I think i'll lean toward the site of wisdom and expierence.. thank you, for a few hours yesterday i was ...... about droping money on a eGo.


on a side note... i got my eGo at noon yesterday. LR atty on it. Vaped pretty damn hard from noon straight through until 11:30pm (minimal vaping from 6-9pm, had a speech to deliver) last night.... no drop in vapor at any point... the batt just started blinking, only indication i got that it was running out of a charge. I gotta say im impressed with that

Thank you everyone

No worries Shua, I've been using LR atty's with my TorneGo for about 2 months now with no problem.

Glad to hear you got your Ego and it's kicking ... for you! Congrats!!! You'll love EVERYTHING about your Ego.

Here's another scenerio-eGO with LR AND cartomizer.............any thoughts on this combo??

WTF?

(And I say that in the nicest way humanly possible...)

 

[stover.p]

I'm asking if that is a possible combo to use
Or would if fry the PV and me with it??

 

[$hua]

It will be possible when they make LR Cartomizers?

Unless you have a blueprint for a prototype that im not aware of... you may be waiting for that particular set up....

someone correct me if im wrong?

At this time (tomorrow is a new day, and that high mah batt on the Silver Bullet is looking good), my eGo is everything i want and need from a PV.... size, "discret" LED, nice TH, able to run a LR atty and maintain a reasonable battery life while doing it.

I will say this, its a juice monster. i get maybe 4-5 pulls from 2-3 drops. In addition to that, i will state this about ppls claims to "taste" changes,, i havent noticed a "boost" or "improvement" in the flavor of my juice.. however i am able to identify a flavor change when the atty is getting dry and i need to re drip... there is a deffinite change in taste.. more so, if i take even one more pull on the eGo once i taste this change.... it taste like pure a**, straight up, unadulterated, grade A booty.

In the 24ish hours ive been using it, i have had the button stick already. It was brief but it seemed like the "lip" of the button got caught on the cut out hole for itself. Also there is no way ill be carrying this in my pocket with such a sensitive button. Would be awesome to see someone manufactor a "slip on" ring that would go over the button area, or maybe the next gen model can have such a ring that slips or screws over the button area.. also that would make for a nice flush finish in a "carry" mode.


/just some thoughts.


Edited: after thought,,, where do i buy "official" janty atty's.. ive read they are better than "after market" atty's....

 

[stover.p]

Holy crap!! I can't believe I asked that question.............I had a senior moment! Man I need a Aricept pill!!!!

Check out this video (about 4 minutes in):

YouTube - The Janty eGo Carry Case prototype preview

Turns out the people at Janty are making exactly what you asked for.

 

[$hua]

Yep thats 99% Exactly what i want.... Id like to see it "screw" on flush with the unit... the "recessed" band that the button sits in, id like to see the ring go over that flushly. Also id like to see them make it stainless steel to keep on with the "tuxedo" look.

but yea thats what i want.
