bdc vs bvc

[josh w]

So ive noticed with a bvc the draw is less restricted then with a bdc. Which leads me to ask the question..... What am I losing running a bvc instead of a bdc?

Not sure what you're asking. I guess you're just losing restricted airflow?

Biggest thing is a BVC is a single coil if I'm not mistaken, it sits vertically, hence the v in bvc, but it's supposed to be comparable to the flavor and vapor from a dual coil - d in bdc. Someone please correct me if i'm wrong, but I think that's a dumbed down explanation of it.

 

[josh w]

yes. bvc or bottom vertical coil and bdc bottom dual coil. I was just curious if there were advantages to one or the other.

Ya, the bvc is a single and the bdc is a dual coil. I'm sure it's probably more of a preference thing, but I have noticed most people seem to reccomend the bvc's.

BDCs are silica and polyfill, and while the design is a little complicated they work well assuming you get a good batch of coils (a complicated design plus infamous quality control can mean a lot of bad coils).

BVCs are fiberglass/ceramic paper wrapped in cotton, and are generally considered to have better flavor and stand up to thicker eliquids better. I can't recommend them due to the health issues involved with their filler material, as there's every reason to believe they can cause minute, but permanent damage over time. You can read through this thread and make up your own mind:

For the Atlantis BVCs they are moving to cotton (they've just started rolling out) and hopefully the smaller BVC versions will too.
