Addicted to 6v & 1.5ohm DCC's. Yowza.

Seriously?

I agree about the psv being great. I love their juice, and that's at 3.7v with a LR atty at 1.5.

Now you're saying to try it at 6v with a Dual Coil Cartomizer at 1.5.

#1. Do you have any idea how long it took for me to understand the various resistances that match the various volts?
Obviously, you don't.
You just blew my entire 2 year education out of the water.

#2. Had you of said: 3.0 carto on a 6v Reo, I would have understood. I've been stocking up for that.

#3. I didn't know they made 1.5 DUAL coil cartomizers. I thought the whole purpose was to provide a 1.5 hit with a gentler approach to the carto and battery itself.
I am outdated.

#4. Summary. I am confused beyond help. Thank you very much.

I'm with you. I don't own a mod but just from reading the board I didn't think you were supposed to use LR cartos with high voltage. That's wrong?

Hiya Uma.

I don't doubt you know your voltages & math very well. I sure don't. But from limited knowledge I do have, here's my rationale:

From what I've been told (I'm a newb, so someone correct me as needed) the SmokTech dual-coil cartos (see here) are indeed 1.5ohm, but each coil in series acts as a 3ohm coil. You are right, since they are lower resistance than your standard 3ohm+ cartos they are typically used on 3.7v to simulate higher voltage vaping. A 1.5ohm DCC on 3.7v would be 9.12w. A typical 3.2ohm carto at 6v would be 11.25w, whereas that same 3.2ohm carto would be a measly 4.2w on a 3.7v. So essentially for those who don't have/want a 6v setup, Boge LR's & all the other lower resistance cartos are fabulous for lower voltage batteries. They give you that increased wattage on your same 3.7v battery for more vapor production, more taste (this is generalized, as some juices obviously taste worse when heated up more than others), more throat hit due to higher vapor temp, etc.

Now, take one of the more common LR cartos, the Boge 2.0. Pop that onto a 6v and you're looking at an insane 18w. I haven't done this myself, but my local supplier said he'd seen someone mistake a Boge LR for an SR, put it on his 6v tube mod, and the coil popped immediately. The SmokTech dual-coils at 1.5ohm would sound like carto suicide at 6v, but apparently, since there are 2 coils, the 24w of awesomeness is split between the two coils, which are hit with 12w of vaping bliss.

It sounded ridiculous to me at first, but I've had nothing but success with the setup. Mind you, I've heard (heard, no firsthand experience nor know anyone personally who can vouch) that mods like the GLV & some of the box mods can fire a DCC 1.5ohm at 6v, but they dynamically adjust the voltage supplied down to what the circuitry deems a safer level to protect the batteries. I think that the various tube mods like my Prodigy, or the Silver Bullet / Bombshell / GG's / et al, which use the protected CRC123's are what you'd want to use to experience the full effect of a DCC 1.5ohm at 6v.

​

Someone had responded on one of my other threads (check, I think it was this one, I'd look but I'm responding from my tablet, which sucks, ha) that he/she just tried it on a 7.4v box setup (2 stacked 3.7v's) and it was great. So maybe there are some VV box mods that are able to push higher volts into these cartos besides tube mods.

Try it out. But ONLY use dual-coil 1.5ohms, as that's the only carto I know so far that can take it. I'm pretty sure the <1.7ohm single coils would pop at 6v. And remember that some juices won't taste very good. For instance, Jane's Wild Juices tastes amazing, probably because of that pineapple flavor in there. I find that it kicks my throat in the ..., but in a good way. Citrus-y juices like that and Blu Spot, Pink Spot, Black Mamba, all taste delightful. However, I tried it with my Chunky Monkey, and ILL, it was like Burnt Chunky Monkey Poop.

Sorry for that diatribe. Hope it helps a little.

The irony of this is just sickening.
