It might be that the connection is not good. Cartomizers can be adjusted to expose more of the centerpost if it is not making good contact, but attys can often be too rigid. On the atty: Try taking a pin and sticking it into one of the airholes just above the threading, and prying downward. If the centerpost is mobile it should peek out from the center of the threading a little. This should make the connection better, but again, I have yet to find attys that one can do this with. In theory the LR atty should be ok with an eGo batter.

I think it will be too low a resistance for a 5V device. That will be around 12 Watts, and will probably pop the atty coil. Even if it doesn't it will not be a pleasant vape.

On my 5v devices, LR end fittings either blow quickly or produce way too hot a vape. They probably wouldn't last long although I have never experimented, the vape is not pleasant.

In general you would probably want 2 ohms or more on 5v, and 2.5 ohms or higher would be sensible. Cartos produce a dead flavor compared to attys so some people probably use lower res to get more flavor. There are a lot of people who will tell you that 2.5 - 3 ohms is about right on 5v.

It depends on how hot you like it, if you can afford to replace the atty/carto more often, and if the flavors you like get burnt out at over 10 watts on the atty or carto you are using.

The best gear to run low-res atties on - IMO - is a big-battery 3.7v mod. A fresh batt gives you 4 to 4.2 volts, and that's about right for me with an LR atty. With an 18650 cell there is very little voltage drop compared to a 14500 cell. Everyone is different though. Cartos generally need more of a kick.

Below is a Black Bullet with an LR dripper rig. There are 4 parts to the top end - a 510-to-510 long extension, a drip catcher sleeve, a driptip, and an LR atty with 2 SS bonuts inside. You can drip 6 or 7 drops and get about 20 minutes' use or the equivalent of about 2 cigarettes. It is a good use of an LR atty.
