Hey Yas, welcome to the ECF. I personally would not recommend that you go beyond 3.7V since it'll be way to hot for a 2.0 carto. You would be risking burning your carto and rendering it unusable. If you really wanted to try out 4.2V than I would suggest you get some 2.5 ohm cartos. Which would be perfect at that voltage.

Hope that helps

Hi

Just got a variable voltage e-go passthrough at 3.2,3.7 and 4.2 volts?

Was wondering if i could use my Boge LR Cartos at 4.2 volts?

Cheers
Give one a try... what are you risking $1.55? I find that on 4.2v some juices work OK in the Boge LR cartos but on many of them the flavor burns out. The carto will get too warm for me if I'm steady vaping on just that one device.

Agree with previous answer. For a true constant 4.2v you probably wanna be at 2.3 ohms or higher.

If your pass-thru has a battery in it you'll be OK. If a battery-less one then only run it off of a wall adapter that can supply a couple amps (2000ma) or better. 4.2v / 2.1 ohms = 2000ma. I found one at newegg.com that is rated 2400ma.

More to the point, though. Lower resistance atties with higher voltages create a wicking problem too. 4.2 volts on a 2.0 ohm carto may work just fine, considering that the tolerance for the atty is +/- 0.2ohms. The problem is more in the filler, it can't get liquid to the coil fast enough, which is the reason they burn out. If you wanted to try it, and risk your atty, then do so slowly.

I have been using 1.7 ohm Resurrectors on my Rough Stack for a couple of months. The RS battery is rated at 3.7 volts, but comes off the charger at 4.2 volts and gradually diminishes down to about 3.8 volts before I recharge it. So far, so good. No burned juice taste. In fact I would say it works great.

I also use them on my Egos with no problem. They do run down the batteries quicker, but I have had no probs with the MOSFET. Of course I don't hit 'em hard and heavy. A 5 second drag every couple of minutes or so.

I would say to you: Try your LR cartos at 3.2 and 3.7 volts. That should be plenty. If not, well I guess that's what the 4.2 is for. You really don't want to go much below 2.0 ohms with the carto resistance tho.

As mentioned before many people use 2 ohm Boges on 3.7v mods that comes off the charger at 4.2 volts. I always top off a carto's juice before putting it on a freshly charged battery. And I think you'll find the 4.2 and 3.7 of the "vv" Ego drop down a bit partway into using up the charge. Like anything else there's a voltage curve and the impression I get vaping one of these Egos is that they are just limiting the voltage to those levels, not boosting it. So fresh off the charger it feels like 4.2, 3.7, and I never have a use for 3.2 but when the charge is 1/2 used up it feels like less than those levels.

This is Definatly accurate. after you get to about half charge the highest setting is around 3.7v Not bad but i wanted much more consistant voltage.
