After quite a bit of experimenting I found my fit for juice/carto combo. Battery suggestions plz.

[whorupeople]

Hey there! After buying a few dozen different cartos/attys and quite a few juices I have found my combo.

The Ego Mega dual coil carto with a metal drip tip and some menthol or wintergreen juice.

The problem is... my 650mah ego battery's are not cutting it... I killed one and the other only lasts 2 hours now... Since the carto is 1.6Ohms I assume that I am killing the 650's because of over drawing with the LR mega carto.

I am in need of a battery that gives a true 3.7v, is inexpensive (think 20 dollars), and would prefer to stay away from a box mod. (I take it to work... much easier to keep it around the desk if it looks like a marker) Of course if there was a mod that would work better for cheaper then I would be open to it... Any suggestions would be awesome!

Since you are using low res carto's you need a battery that can handle the current drain .

Any tube mod that can take a 18500 or 18650 battery . AW IMR 18650s are very good batteries for high drain .

There are many many around and it really depends on your budget.

Check out the Kgo at hoosierecig.com its a true 3.7 output and reasonably priced around 44.00 for the kit.

i have been using the same set up since august ,,and still using the same 650 batteries with no problem,,,
my 650's last most of the day

i am wondering if your batteries are ego knock offs

I had a similar problem in the past .
I decided to put a DCT tank with a LR Casrto in it on an Ego battery
After a couple of draws the light started flashing on the battery and it cut off. I tried a high res carto on it and no problem.

I also tried the tank on my GG Stealth and no problem.

The Kgo at Hoosier is sold out. This kit is a Riva also with 1100mah battery and choice of cartos....about the same price as the Kgo.

Then what can I say. Must be the quality of the batteries inside mine.

I've used dcc on an ego as well with no problems. I do prefer the 1.7 single coils or even the 2.0 boge much better. And they put less stress on the battery. I really think it's a better vape.

Don't change the battery, change the cartomizer.

You could get an echo-e or a kgo battery. I don't know much about the kgo but the echo-e is 4.2 volts 1300 mah 510 battery.

Remember though with the KGO and the Echo-e, you cant charge them with your ego charger.

Two of my batteries are a knockoff... But i have one Joye 650 and it is the only one left working... yet still its not working very well as I originally described. So alternatives to joye would be good. Anyone had any better luck with smoktech true 3.7V batteries? A friend recommended those... but I am a bit skeptical.

Edit:

I know people would suggest changing the carto but I have tried a good 2 dozen different kinds and this is by far my favorite. Just a personal preference I guess... But I want to make it work with this carto.
