Anyone recommend using an eGo Mega Dual Coil Cartomizer?

I've heard good things about them for eGo users. Those seem to be a good price too. I think there are a couple different designs though. (mouthpiece wise anyway) Here is a review about this type of carto and here is where he got that particular carto that he's reviewing.

You could also try tanks. If you like the standard size boges, there are now shorter "dct tanks" that you can use with your standard size cartos. Not a bad price either.

I like those cartos. In fact, the those ones donnah linked to I liked even better than the Smoktech ones. Like with any other dual coil, though, I do find that some juice flavors are better suited for them than others, but overall my experience with them has been positive. I like them at a little higher voltage than an eGo can supply, though, so I have always used them on other devices with a 510-eGo adapter (available at several vendors)

I just got my KGO delivered today, along with 2 of these EMDCC's. I wanted them due to the added capacity. I'm pretty disappointed in them actually. I thought it was going to make some kinda great vapor production along with a warmer vape, but it's pretty bleh. The mouthpiece gets warm if i hold it for 5-6 secs, and the larger volume does equal to a tad more vapor production, but the vape itself is cold and airy. They're advertised to hold 4.5-5ml of juice, but it started dripping out the bottom at a lil' over 3ml on me. I used a syringe to fill it. I cleaned it up, waited a few minutes, and topped it off thinking i may've just flooded the bottom. Nope, still started dripping out the bottom almost immediately. Thankfully i bought an 808 adapter, and i've been using my other cartridges instead. I'm waiting on my 1.7 Resurrectors to come in, hopefully they won't disappoint :(

You will love the 1.7's on the kGo...those big dual coil EMDCC's really work better at higher voltages. Save them for use with your variable voltage mod if you decide to get one..I really like the Boge 2.0 ohm cartos on my ego and Rive (which is just like the kGo.

Wow.. sorry to hear that happened,, I have the KGO too and I've used the EMDCCs. I like the capacity, don't have to top them off as much and I find the vape to be decent. My favorite, however, is the resurrectors so I think you're going to like them. You do have to top them off though,, seems to me single coil works better on my KGO than double coil.. just my opinion and heaven knows.. I'm no expert!

I think they are a solid product, however the drip tip that comes with them has to go.

They really effect the taste, at least for me they do. They get condensation like crazy.

When i first got mine, i hated it because the flavor wasnt any good. I popped off the giant rubber drip tip and saw it was coated in condensation. I tried taking a puff without the tip on and WOAH there was the flavor.

So i ordered a few drip tip adapters from madvapes, they are a buck each in the carto section. Then you can use any 510 drip tip you want with the mega cartos.

As others have said, those big cartos, or just about any dual coil carto of any size, will do best at higher voltages. I vaping on one right now, and on my Joyetech battery, it barely functions. Hit with 5 volts from my Woo, and it crackles to life. Much more flavor and vapor production.

Even at 1.5 ohms, 3.4 volts only delivers 3.8 watts to each coil. Pretty poor. At five volts each coil gets 8.6 watts - much better.

Just a reminder that dual coils and lower voltages don't mix well.

SMOK eMDCC are of about 3.5 ml not 4or 5. So you definitely will have a leak if you try to fill more than they can hold. But this is not what the leakage is. The leakage is the leakage during the use not when you fill them in. I use exclusively eMDCC, tried a lot of other types of cartos and found them to be the best so far. I use them on e-pipe with unregulated battery, so 4.1-3.7 volts. I used about 40 of them. No one leak, no one failed completely. In average each lasts about 5-7 days with 4-6 ml a day. I would recommend to give them a try.

Using one right now in fact on an eGo 900mah battery. I usually swap between that and my 510 DCT from VaporJunction. It's a pleasant vape, nice throat hit and decent amount of vapor. I haven't vaped through a whole carto yet so I'm not sure on the refill. But it's good stuff.

I made the mistake on the initial fill of dumping an entire bottle of liquid in there (accident). I gave it time to dry up a bit and blew the excess out, good as gold with great flavor.
