Been a week now with the two I ordered, nothing special. Just a 1.8 ohm 510, can't tell any difference from the Ikens or the ciscos. If the ikens and ciscos are sold out, this one might be an option, but Jerseyvapes is not a great company for me to do business with. Been 3 weeks now and I'm still waiting on the drip tip I ordered 8(
Lets clarify this first: Did you subtract the restistance from the meter leads from the ohm reading you got when you did the ohm check? I'm going to assume you did so.......
.....I guess they aren't guarenteed 1.5s if its 1.8. That sux. I buy Cisco 1.5 510 attys and use AW IMRs on my mini to get 5V heat and that's what I want, not BS. If somone is advertising 1.5s you'd expect to get that. There is a huge difference in heat produced. I'll have to post on that thread and ask if it's a fluke or not.
What drodz says about this, quoted but the link is at bottom, post #33:
the thing about LR is that the entire purpose of them was to replicate the heat that you'd get off of a 5V+ mod while still using 3.7V batteries thus avoiding some of the problems with stacking batteries... but you only really see the huge jump in performance when using them on an appropriate battery (the 3 I mentioned)... while it does boost heat slightly on the eGo type batteries...it's not that dramatic to really say it makes that huge of a difference...
here's the numbers:
510 atty on a 3.1V battery (ego/riva/the like)..... 4.18W
510 atty on a appropriate 3.7V battery.............. 5.95W
1.5Ω atty on a 3.1V battery........................... 6.41W
1.5Ω atty on a 3.7V battery........................... 9.13W
and if you're not using a 1.5Ω LR atty but ones in the 1.7Ω - 2Ω range... the line in differences become more blurred and less dramatic (ie a 1.7Ω -2Ω so called LR atty is actually less heat than a regular 510 on a real 3.7V battery (1.7Ω-5.65W, 1.8Ω-5.34W, 2Ω-4.81W)
What I'm getting at is that we're victims of hype... yeah it was all about the LR atty and yes it makes a big difference... the 1.5Ω ones....but then everyone gets into the game and puts out 1.7, 1.8, 2.0Ω ones....and tops that with aplications that they really weren't intended for because of the perception that they do better without understanding the how and why... and really they could be doing better with a product that was available before the LR atty...nut yes when broken down the 1.5Ω atty on a LiMN high drain battery works and IS a big jump in performance....but a 1.8Ω one on a riva?...pointless...I can get better preformance out of a cheap box mod with a standard atty..
