cartomizer ohm for 510 280mah

[Justin33901]

Hi,

I received my 510 manual 280mah starter kit. It came with dual coil cartomizers but I can't find the resistance anywhere for these things and I'm on my last one. Can someone recommend the lowest resistance rating I should go on these for dual coil replacement cartomizers?

Thanks for helping the newbie!

Can you post a link to the site you got the kit from?

I got it at a flea market and they had no idea what I was talking about when I went back and asked about the resistance!

I'd be leary of going below 2 Ohms for a battery that small and even 2 Ohms is uncomfortable for me, but a heck of a lot better than going lower.

I wouldnt even use Dual coils period on a slim ecig, regardless of the resistance.

Resistance wise, slim ecigs should only use standard resistance cartos, about 3.0ohm. Personally I wouldnt use anything lower than 2.5ohm, or you risk ruining the battery. 2.0ohm cartos are considered low resistance and are only for bigger battery PVs

I vote 2.4 or higher. I use 510 150mah batts no problem at 2.4oms

When looking, look for 1.5 dual coils which will end up being 3ohms

Dual coils are a parallel arrangement, so a 1.5 Ohm DC will have two 3 Ohm coils. The battery only cares about the total resistance.

...not correct, while they do have two 3ohm coils in parallel, electrically, the batt will see it as 1.5ohms which is all that counts.........

I also think that you should not use the dual coils on a slim battery, I would try to get at least an ego 650mah or perferably 1000mah batterie for that kind of cartimizer. If thats all you have maybe it will hold up for a while untill you can get alittle better battery for it good luck though, we all have to start somewhere and hopefully stay on the right path.... anolog free!!!!!!

If parallel resistors are of equal resistance then it's easier. Resistance in ohms/number of resistors.

5 50ohm resistors in parallel is 50/5 = 10ohms

Is there anyway you can post a pic of the cartos?
Are they clear or solid color with soft tips? They may not be dual coils.
As several posters have mentioned a 280mah slim battery isn't the greatest for such a cartomizer.
