atty on VV bottomfeeder

[Jeann]

hi, am new to VV and in need of some advise.

so far we (my love and I) have been using regular 510 atty's, at the moment joytech's witch measure 2.2 ohms. so these we also started using on our new VV's. can't measure the volts we use, but i think it's a bit higher then the 14500 batts provide.

we get an awesome vape and after some vaping the flavor and vapor drops, by then the atty feels mighty hot, then we set it aside and let it cool down. after that we have have that awesome vape again.

so am thinking maybe there are other atty's that can handle the heat better just by the way they are built, or maybe go to higher ohms? or any other ideas to solve this?

thank you in advance

I've got a VV bottom feeder (SweetVape) and I use 306 attys on it. I use both LR and SR with good results. Haven't tried any really high resistance ones. I prefer them over the 510's, taste better, don't leak and easier draw. Throw a couple in your cart next time you're buying goodies, you won't be disappointed.

I use cartos on my VmodXL bottomfeeder. I have a Kick installed, so VW- not VV, but adjustable none the less. I like the 2ohm DC cartos. They will take alotta volts without burning.

Some people will suggest no less than 3ohm atties for VV. The DCs I use have 2x4ohm coils. Depending on how often you change flavors, the cartos are a good option. I use 30ml/week of the same flavor (I DIY), so the cartos suit my desire.

It depends on what voltage you are vaping at. I use a 3.2 ohm atty at 5v and love that setup. For a 2.2 ohm atty, I would think you shouldn't go over about 4v, maybe 4.2 at the most and that might make it a bit hot and be pushing it. Personally, to me the reason for having a vv mod is so you can vape at higher voltage, so I would think you may want some higher ohm atomizers. 5v vaping is my sweet spot and 3 ohm to 3.2 ohm atomizers are great for 5v.

thank you all so much for your reply's

quess the problem is that we are both fast vapers, bit like when we smoked quickly outside in the cold that on top of the higher voltage the atty gets too hot. i found some joy mega 510's collecting dust, we are experimenting with those now they measre 2.4 ohms, in 3 very nice draws they also get blody hot, the advantage of the longer barrel is that it cools down faster, but to have it set aside after 3 draws is not enough to get satisfied.

am very interested in the 306 and also the io6, think i will order them when payday comes along. am quite sure we are going to like them indeed, i only hope they don't get so hot so fast.

when we switched to VG liquids i gave up on carto's and clearo's, about a year ago. they were clogging up and turing the liquid brownish so quickly that i waisted so much juice on them, and also used up those carto's/clearo's way too fast. don't know how they are now, seen that many changes are made.

am thinking to go and try higher ohms, i just don't know what that will do to the heat production. the vv hasn't a display and i don't have a voltmeter, so i just dial up the wheel till i find the sweet spot. i think am a bit higher then a fully charged 14500 batt, so that will be 4.2v to 4.3v, but thats a whild quess.

quess the whole vv thing has a learning curve, it's about a year ago when we tryed anything new again we mainly chose the vv for it's constant voltage output.

I use Joye SR 306 attys (2.2 ohms) on eGo batteries (3.4v) for dripping and in my experience they get very hot with chain vaping even at the fairly low wattage I'm using, so I'd suggest not making a big investment in 306s until you've tried them and are sure they will meet your needs. Interestingly, I'm trying out a Vapage 2.0 ohm 510 hybrid bottom-feeder atty right now on an eGo Twist at 3.6v and finding that it actually stays much cooler even at higher wattage, so you may want to also give them a try.

thank you! that is very intresting, am reading a very long review thead about them, looks good indeed

Jeann, you have never said, I don't think, what vv mod you are using. I know for some vv mods like from Madvapes with the dial, I could tell you how to sort of tell what volt you are vaping at. The cheap vv mods from Madvapes, for example, if you set the dial with the straight edge to the left, that's about 3.7 volts. Just a pinch slanted upwards, that's about 4.2 volts, etc. The low resistance atomizers will get hotter for you so I would stick to standard resistance unless you prefer to vape at a lower voltage, but then I don't know why you would have gotten a vv mod then to begin with. Honestly, I know alot of people love 306 atomizers, but I prefer 510's at higher ohms. It seems most people that have a 3.7v mod get 306's at lower ohms so they can mimick higher voltage vaping, but if you have a vv you don't have to worry about faking it. If you have a vv mod, and if there is a dial, which I have had mods like that, once you get used to vv mods you can pretty much tell what voltage it is at and how the dial works. Anyhow, if you tell us the mod you have maybe we could help, and if you tell us whether you would prefer vaping at a higher voltage and what voltage, we could help too Also, whatever mod you got, there is probably a YouTube video on it somewhere on how to adjust the voltage

oh it's in my signature, it's a reo vv woodvill, it has the chip from the buzzpro and it has a dial witch does a perfect job as i can find my sweetspot with no hassle. we like a warm vape so i think i vape bit higher then 3.7v batts, the problem however is that we are fast vapers and we get that atty too hot in no time. i asked here because with vv maybe more ppl encounter this then with 3.7v vaping.

am hoping to find an atty that deals better with heatproduction or maybe higher ohms with higher voltage, dunno if that will produce less heat then the standard. at the moment i worry less about what i prefer as i think with most atty's i can find my sweetspot on a vv just by dialing up or down.

i liked LR on the 14500, but discharged the batt way too low so i stoped doing that. i haven't tried HV yet, need to buy me an atty first, but i will try that too. i really love the vape i have from just this SR atty on the vv, it is just annoying to set it aside after 3 amazing draws for a cooldown.

thank you!

The 306's do have a hotter vape, but I like it like that. I don't think the flavor or vape drops when they get hot like a 510 does. I've got a DCA 306 that I use on a different mod, it acts like a heatsink on the 306 and really keeps them cooler.The connector is sealed on the bottom piece so it won't allow you to bottmfeed. If you just got the top part that goes on the atty I'm sure it would help you. Also it lets you use a 510 drip tip on the 306 atty which will get your lips further from the heat. Also derlin drip tips don't conduct heat like the aluminum and steel ones do so they feel better on the lips. One other option is to put a Dual Coil Tank on it and not use the bottom feed part. You can chain vape on them at higher voltages. I'm vaping Boba's (100% VG) in one right now with a 2ohm dual coil carto at 5 volts. Here's where you can see the DCA and the top pieces in the expansion packs. They make them in three sizes so because not all 306's are exactly the same size:
