Can't Crack the Code

[JudeD]

I have stardust cartos for my ego C and I love them. I would like to have the same kind of thing for my ego T 280mah but I can only find websites that deal in how many ohms are recommended for the different cartos. This is all Greek to me. Are there any cartomizers with wicks that work with smaller batteries? I've tried Boge and I don't like all the filler plus I have to top them off too often so they don't dry out. The stardust is easy to fill, it doesn't leak, and it lasts a long time between refills, plus it has the wick system.

Will fluxomizers work with a 280 mah battery or will they burn it out?

MAH, VV, OHMS, it's all too confusing to me. I just want a cartomizer that works for me and doesn't ruin my PV.

An ego T with 280mah? Sure it's not a smaller 510 model (more cigarette sized than cigar)? Egos are 650mah minimum I think.

That aside, the ego c, and all other forms of ego are all the same batteries, it's just the atomiser sold with them that give them the name like ego C, ego T, ego etc.

For a 280mah battery you wouldn't want to go lower than 2.4 - 2.5ohm resistance gear. But it will take any 510 threaded gear rated 2.4 - 2.5ohms or higher. I think beyond 3ohms, you'd barely get anything with that battery. I'd say to stick to 2.4 - 2.5ohms with a 280mah 510 battery.

So yes, fluxomiers will work with BOTH batteries provided that they are the standard 2.5ohm resistance. Low resistance fluxomisers will work on the "ego c" batteries without damaging them as much as the 280mah ones. And by damage I mean it's just going to drain the battery a little faster so it'll have a shorter lifespan - but not a lot.

Fluxomizers come in a few resistances and the lowest range, 2.4-2.6 I believe, would work fine with both of your batteries.

As long as the product doesn't say low resistance (anything less than 2.5) it should work without a hitch. Also make sure it's not duel coil (the product will say if it is), as they overwork smaller batteries too much.

Joye has an eGo 510 T stick with a 280mah. I like it for on the go. They also have a eGo T 220mah.

Thank you for the info. I think the fluxes I have are 2.8-3.0 so I'll order some different ones and try them.

Yeah 3ohms is high resistance and wont do so well with ego batteries unless you like a really really cool vape. 2.4 - 2.5ohms will be a lot better.

I think the 220 and 280 mah 'ego' batteries are just called "510". It's weird but the small stick ones are just 510, like the tank version is 510 T. Everything else in that line is ego, like ego C, ego T and just plain old ego. It's even more confusing because the threading on both is 510. So every ego is a 510 but not every 510 is an ego lol

Eh it's all weird jargon, we knew what you meant

No, Joye has a 510 stick with a 280mahm. It's not an Ego. Check out this link:

Ego is a family of devices put out by Joye, though knockoffs abound. They traditionally have 650mahm batteries, but lately they've expanded. They are 3.3v devices that use 510 threads, though they've come out with a variable voltage (vv) model, the twist.

Now let's crack the code: to figure out what to use with what device, you need to know a couple of things:
1. What voltage does your battery put out.
2. How big is your battery?
3. How much resistance does your atty/carto have?
Some terminology;
Voltage - the amount of energy a battery puts out. One of the things I particularly like about the link in the above reply is that it includes the voltage for each of the models. This is something vendors generally don't include in their descriptions.
Mahm - battery size in terms of energy storage. Basically, the bigger the mahms, the longer you can vape before having to recharge.
Ohm: How much work does the device have to do to get the desired output (that's probably not technically correct, but hey! I'm an accountant, not an electrician).
Now another number you'll want to know is amps (short for ampere), but you have to calculate that. If fact, that's the reason for this exercise. An amp is a measure of the energy needed to complete an action (again, the electricians would probably argue with me, but let them do their own posts, lol). In our case, it's the amount of heat the draw causes. You calculate the amps using the following formula:

Amps=volts/ohms

Example: My device (an E-power, which I love btw) has a 3.7 voltage. I currently use a 1.7ohm LR carto. This gives me an amp measure of roughly 2.18. The more amps, the more heat. The more heat, the more vapor. However, this can be taken too far. The best video I've seen explaining all this stuff in layman's terms was done by Steeljan on You tube. Here's the link:

Low Res, High Volts, 3.7V, 5V, VV? Wtf?!! - YouTube

Hope this helps!
