5v's cartos lr and standard and punching for tanks need advice please.

[Spacycase321]

OK so I used to use lr's for my 5v box mod because someone from one shop did not tell me that I should or should not use lr's or standard's cartos when I bought the box mod from him and had him show me how to load it. But latly I've been hearing that using lr's on a 5v can ruin my batteries and can burn up juice faster than standard and can in fact burn the carto it self faster than it should, but then I went some where near at a different shop and got a standard and the way he punches the cartos its 3 times bigger then what the other shop would and it's only one hole. The first shop would punch two small holes on each side of the carto, now I guess my ultimate question is that is using lr cartos good on 5v's and is it better to have one big hole as big as the size of a bb or is it better to have two small holes on each side? IV noticed that with the one big hole my juice gose faster but I've only used the two small holes on lr's the guy at the second shop said that it's better to have one big hole on a standard carto on 5v's rather than two small Holes and to not use lr's on a 5v and I've been vaping on a 5v for only about a year now, used to use a ego 3.7v for the year previous. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Sorry if this is confusing. I still don't know much.

LR is not good on a 5v, and I have always punched two holes, but I read recently that some folks like one hole better. I punched one hole tonight, and it is working fine.

LR should be used only on 3.7 - 4.2V depending on the ohms. If you use something like a 2 ohm carto at 5V. Then that's 12.5 watts which is insane. You should at least keep it at around 9 watts, 10 at the max. You risk more then just ruin your batteries and use more juice. It can short your mod and thus rendering it utterly useless.

So, you should be careful since I'm assuming your using something with a 3 amp VV chip. That doesn't have any safety features that would prevent you from using such a combination. So, you have to decide for yourself if it's ok to use a specific ohmed carto on your mod or not. A good way to know is to use ohm's law:

It's a standard 5v mod from mad vapes

Oh ok, that's more of a reason why you should watch what cartos you use in it. Since it definitely doesn't have anything that will stop you from using a LR on it at all.

Wow I guess it's pretty amazing that I didn't screw anything up as much as I vape, but I switched to standard's and have not had problems since but I seem to be going through juice a bit faster than normal with the one big bb sized hole vs the lr with two small holes, should I try the two holes on a standard? I know it sounds a bit self explanatory but still wanted to ask.

High voltage or LR with a 3.7V device burns through juice a lot faster due to the the heat that's created. This is how a person would get more warmth in their vapor, etc.

How is it performing for you right now? If it's working well then I see no other reason why you should add another hole unless your using a high VG juice. Which would cause wicking issues and due to it's thickness. The other hole would mostly remedy that problem for you.

Seems fine and taste rite now dose not seem to burn as hot but for some reason seems to be going through liquid faster iv always used a 50/50 mix too. That's why I'm so confused..

It's due to you switching to SR cartomizers rather then the LR ones you were using before. So, that's the reason why it's not burning as hot. As for you going through juice faster. It's normal when your vaping at HV. So, you shouldn't have to worry about that unless you want to conserve juice.

The best solution to save juice would be to use a SR atty at 3.7V but, you will be getting little to no TH nor warmth from your vapor. It isn't worth it IMO. I would rather go through juice faster to get a satisfying vape then to be disappointed.

I pop holes in a carto until it looks like a golf ball... only way I've found to keep it consistent... I use a total of 7 holes. 3 equidistant about 1/3 of the way up, another 3 about 2/3, and one last one as close to the top of the filler as I can guess.

I generally vape 2ohm @ 4.4-4.8v. 5v would be fine functionally, but I find that some juice tastes a little on the burnt side

EDIT: I lied. The 4.8+v is generally relegated to 2.5ohm
EDIT2: phone autocorrected... turned 'carto' into 'chartoff'
