A Quick Reference For Replacement Dual Coils

[SnowDragon]

Since quite a few folks are venturing into Tankland, the issue of replacement Dual Cartos is just around the corner.

Here is a quick reference to use, remember flanged Cartos are the best way to go for tanks:

1.5 Ohm Dual Cartomizer..............3.7v Devices
2.0 Ohm Dual Cartomizer...............5v Devices
2.5 Ohm Dual Cartomizer...............6v Devices
3.0 Ohm Dual Cartomizer...............7v Devices

Like everything there can be a little bleed over, however variations in device voltages, especially anything higher than a 3.7v device can make certain juices go from awesome to blech.

Thanks, Snow. I needed that.

Great guide Snow sir.

So the 2.5 ohm carts are = to a 5 ohm single coil right?

Technically it's two 5ohm coils working in paralell SIC0 sir, giving you a 2.5 ohm expreience with less chance of burning the filler, and more flavor from the increased surface area.

 

[SIC08869]

Thank you sir!

A better reference is to add 2-2.2ohm to whatever voltage your using, this will get you a lot closer to the sweet spot " most all of the time ". Snowdragon you are off on your guesstimates a little bit so I will give an example that is a bit closer and more accurate if that is OK


Example=

1.5ohm - 3.5-3.7v
2.0 ohm - 4v-4.2v
2.5 ohm - 4.5-4.7v
3.0 ohm - 5-5.2v And so on


Also note, with DC Cartos you can go much higher on your voltages then normal working cartos, say a 2 ohm DC Carto you can vape it at 6v no problem if you want, because of the two coils being in parallel they dont burn up like a regular carto will at higher voltages, you will get a warmer vape but not burnt, it is all very subjective of course, but using the 2 to 2.2 ohm add on to your voltage will always get you very close to a nice vape.

 

[Morandir835]

Mwa sir going to have to disagree with you there. You save burning the filler as easily, but not the juice. The same juice that burns on a single coil 1.5ohm carto at 5v, also scorches on the same 1.5 ohm dual coil (2 3.0ohm coils) at 5v....

 

[SIC08869]

So is it only IMR High drains that will allow you to vape High voltage with lower ohm dual coils? I read that some batteries will not support dual coil cartomizers when stacked?

 

[Morandir835]

SIC0 sir yes and no. Some stacked batts will, but again there is danger in doing so. The lower the ohms, more stress on the batts, double that when it's two batts. IMR's can handle them without any issue due to their higher amperage output.

Well then we disagree Morandir835 sir, and by a bit, your example at the end of your statement ( 2.3 ohm coil at 5v also falls in between and were with in a .5volt, and I did say you can use the DC Cartos at higher voltages but you will get a warmer vape. Take any DC Carto you want thats on the market and add 2-2.2 volts to whatever ohm carto and you will be dam close to the sweet spot, go above that and you will have exactly like I said just a warmer vape and you will also be scorching your juices much more so.

It's not so much the Battery it is the amperage you are drawing from them, IMR is of a safer chemistry so its always going to be safer using IMR's when stacking Batts, However it isnt necessary by any means, I have been using AW IC 16340 Batts and stacking them for a couple of years now, no issues what so ever, also depends on if your Mod has a built in protection circuit or not, if your drawing to much amperage usually you will fry your switch in no time as well. I highly suggest AW Batteries over anything else out there for numerous reasons and quality being the first.

We agree

 

[Morandir835]

Not 2.3ohms Mwa sir, two 3.0 ohm coils. That's technically how a dual coil works... Just know wowboy in a 1.6ohm single coil 510 carto scorches at 5 volts just like it does in a 1.6 ohm dual coil carto at the same 5 volts of power. 15.62 watts is a lot for quite a few juices.

Believe me I know and understand how they work Morandir85 sir, I really do and yes that's a bit different of a statement your making now, maybe I misunderstood your statement about the 2.3ohm you made earlier. Typically I run a 3ohm Carto @ 5v if I'm using one, and 8.5-9.5 Watts is my prefered sweet spot, sometimes 10W. any higher is a bit to hot for me. I've got 2 Darwins and always know exactly where I'm at even when my Atty or Carto changes ohms. I still say however that a very good factor is adding 2-2.2 volts to whatever ohm Carto your using to get you to a sweet spot.
( Most of the time ), not the way Snowdragons example is set but more the 2-2.2v add to the ohms your using instead.

You guys are so cute playing nice with each other

 

[SnowDragon]

Well....I happen to own 9,000 Darwins, my mod collection is so vast I actually need a satellite photo to squeeze it all into the frame...hehe.

I noted there was a little bleed over but my reference chart is accepted as standard fare in the industry. If I told you I happen to like using a 1.25 ohm DCT at 7v because I love the taste of acidic, toxic, scorched juice you might think I was nuts. But hey, that is my sweet spot and what works for me. Now if we were out knocking down a few beers (should be), talkin about sweet spots on our VV's I can see how your chart works for you. Obvious you like a cool vape, I do too for the bulk of flavors I vape since I am not a high voltage guy.

As we both know, every juice is a little different like every Vaporer is a little different. Some juices can take the heat and others simply fall apart. Some vapors like a cool vape and other like it hot, but nobody likes it scorced...at least nobody I have ever met.

Here's a video which is a good one for folks to watch to get a better understanding how all this works.

VaporChase Review - 2.5ohm DCT Carto from Canvape (and what it all means) - YouTube

For our discussion note the 7:40 mark...a 2.3 Ohm DCT at 5.7v...sounds a little too hot for either one of us but he is in that 2.5 ohm range. Personally speaking I would opt for a 3.0 ohm, but that's me. He then goes on to show an unregulated Ego at 4.2v (similar to a V4L KR Batt) using a ..........1.5 DCT. So there is no wrong or right on this, there is always going to be a little bleed over..depending on the juice and the Vaporer. So I think my reference chart is in the accepted ballpark. I also think if the discussion was solely about VV's and staying on the cooler side of vaping your chart works as well.

V4L sells the 5v OMG, but it's not a true 5v because it comes off the charger at 5.2v and pukes out at 4.8v. So a 2.0 or a 2.5ohm carto are certainly more viable options that 1.5 DCT. If a 2.0 isn't doing it for your, try a 2.5, and so on and so on.

When are we going out for beers? First one who can vape 1.25 ohm DCT on a 7v without coughing or having the battery blow up pays for the first round.

wanna bump this so it doesn't get lost pages and pages down the road.....awesome info here!
