Clearomizer vs Cartomizer

[Pammers]

I recently purchased 15 CE2 Clearomizers to use on my Ego. 6 of them were cracked on arrival. At least one other was DOA. They give great flavor and great vapor, for about a day and a half, and then they develop a burnt taste. I love being able to see the juice inside, hate that my Ego cone won't fit over them.

I've been reading about the dual coil cartos, but am confused about whether they can be used on a standard Ego battery. I don't understand all the ohms and low resistance stuff so please don't go there. I like the cartos that don't use filler, but a girl has to do what a girl has to do to get the best vaping experience.

I'm absolutely certain that everyone here is in agreement on what works best with an Ego, right? Please, someone fill me in. TIA

At least once try a tank type cartridge. No filler. It's like a little bottle that just snaps into the atty and you can see how much liquid is there, refill just by popping it open and then filling and closing back.

I've had the same issue with the clear cartomizer types, lots of cracking. I think too much juice stays on the wicks also.

You need to use the cone atty with these, at least as far as I know and they are easily found for the large 650 mah and up 510 batteries.

I'll second the motion on trying a tank. I really prefer it over a cartomizer.

To answer your question about the dual coils cartomizer, there are many different opinions on them. I personally use them with my Riva 1100Mah and have had no problems with them. The time between charges is a little less though not that much and they have great vapor and flavor. I can't say it will never short the switch as never is a long time but I have been using them for about a month and I have had no problems so far. I have never used the CE2 though I love the idea of no filler...hoping they perfect the technology at some point.

I almost tried the Tank once, actually thought I'd ordered it but it turned out I accidentally ordered something else. It seems I read that a lot of people are unhappy with the tanks because they leak. But then maybe that's because people are more likely to post about the problems they're having than how happy they are with something. There's a tank kit for sale in the classifieds thread. I'll consider purchasing it, depending on what size batteries it has. I want to get stronger batteries anyway so maybe I can kill two birds with one stone. Thanks for the advice.

Oh, and just for the record, I actually love birds and would never kill one.

Clearomizers break. You can get replacement tubes at Clouds of Vapor. The new CE3 ones aka Smokymizers (supposedly won't break) should arrive within the next few weeks. You do know they also make these with metal tubes - CE2 R4 or R5 cartos which GotVapes also calls Fluxomizers (they call the clear and metal ones that)

Dual coils - you can use the 2.5 ohm dual coils. Many Ego owners will not go as low as 1.5ohm on their Ego and will only use stuff that low on mods with removable industrial AA-shape batteries. So you can use the 1.5 or not - you may or may not risk damaging your battery.

Well, You have certainly tied our hands by asking us to explain Dual Coils with out talking about ohm's You see technically they are LR but not in the sense others are.They dont perform the same as other LR's on voltages like the eGo is set at (3.7)

If you want opinions as opposed to the numbers and how they work I would say that on an ego you may find a well performing, intact CE2 will give a bit more vapor at that voltage.The Dual Coil is made to be able to be used at higher settings that the CE2 can.

I'm not sure if its just my "eGo style" or not but I cant even get Dual Coils to fire on my T-rex. I wonder if it is different on a Genuine Joye.I can get it to fire on a 3.7v mod but the vapor is better on a CE2 at that voltage.

When you feel up to it look into LR.Its not as complicated as it seems I promise. That way will have more options when you are feeling like you want to upgrade or move on to something new.

I Just got some CE2's from Avid Vaper. http://www.avidvaper.com/products/CE2-XL-510-Clearomizer.html They are from a different manufacturer than most CE2's come from and are made differently as well. I find they perform better than the others and No cracked ones so far.I think you will find they last just as long though but all CE2's can be cleaned and "dry burned" to get a bit more out of them if you are interested in looking into that at some point.



Hope this helps.

Happy Vaping

A dual coil 1.5 can be used successfully on eGo batteries. They are actually 3.x oAms x 2 coils working together. They do slightly lessen battery time, so take this into account if you should decide to try. These are all I have been using for months. I am sure someone here who has used them longer will show up and give better info. Also, they do heat up, and I sometimes choose to remove the cone so heat can disperse better.

 

[Pammers]

Thank you, SMKNOMOR. I may try the Clearomizers from Avid Vapor. If I do, should I go with the 2.4 ohm or the 3.0 ohm? That's the kind of thing I just don't get. How do you like your T-Rex batteries? I have two here that stopped working after less than a month of barely being used. One won't work at all, the other barely holds a charge.

If I purchased a higher mah (whatever a mah is) battery, would it work better with the dual coil cartos?

mAh is the abbreviation for milliamp hours - basically the capacity of the battery. The higher the rating, the longer it will last before needing a recharge sort of thing. Not too different from let's say a gas tank in a car. Say you have 2 cars that both get 30 miles per gallon. If one has a larger gas tank, then obviously it can go farther between fill-ups.

The difference on the "ohms" can go back to the gas tank analogy. The lower the number, the more drain it puts on a battery. Like a bigger engine in a car sucks down the gas faster. So if you have a gas hog engine, you need a bigger gas tank to lengthen the time between fill-ups.

In a dual coil situation, you are heating more coils, so higher battery capacity would be a plus.


(Yes, I know this is an oversimplification and it does not address other factors that are involved, but the OP has already made it clear that she is not interested in taking a course in electronic theory to help choose an atomizer. )

 

[Pammers]

Thanks for dumbing it down for me. If I'm understanding correctly, a higher mah battery doesn't necessarily perform better using the same equipment - it just lasts longer. For instance a CE2 carto would taste the same and create the same amount of vapor on a 1100 mah battery as it would on my 640mah battery? Also, because it's a longer lasting battery, I could use lower resistance cartos, which apparently do make for a better vape, with the larger battery and not have any problems.

Just to be sure I've got it -- lower ohms means lower resistance means shorter battery life, right? Please. So with my 640mah battery I should order the 3.0 ohm clearomizers?

Where can u get "Map Tanks"? I wanna see what those things are about...

I would never call it dumbed down - merely rephrased into more familiar terms

But basicaly, yes, lower ohms = less resistance so the battery's stored energy can be drained out faster.

I've seen quite a few on here say that 3.0 ohm is fine with that size of a battery and that it won't drain it too fast. I haven't really experimented in this area yet - so I will defer to those with actual hands on experience.

Pammers...I've been using Cartomizers : deejStuff eLiquid, The Apocalypse can wait... for awhile now without any cracking. They aren't exactly clear because they have a filler material in them but you can still see how much juice is in them. I've been real happy with them so far.

Can't beat their prices. What kind of battery are you using these with? Have you tried their juices?

I use them on my Riva, eGo, & 5v Gold Digger. I have only tried 2 of their juices and didn't like them but that doesn't mean you won't.

The lower the ohm the more vapor you will get. some people prefer a cooler vapor and others prefer higher voltages.3 ohm Ce2's are typically used in these cases.Yes lower ohms does run your battery down faster but it is a trade off. You trade battery life for more vapor. It is entirely up to you what you think is best for your particular vaping needs.

I actually enjoy my T-rex. I got it because I knew it was 3.7 volts and wasn't sure if the eGo was 3.7 or 3.2.Also, I like the blue ring of light I have had it for about 4 months and one of the batteries just stopped taking a charge last wee. Full disclosure, I do used 1.5Ω306's on them and that lasts me 2 work days. I understood the possibility of the battery having to be retired earlier but once you go LR its hard to go back without having to up your volage.Either way I havent had any real problems with them till that one battery but I cant say wether it is the LR atty or what I put it through. I have a job that requires me to use PV's at work that I dont mind possibly getting ruined. So I keep my mods at home and I keep my t-rex in my sweaty pocket at work. The other battery has lost most of its paint and is scratched to hell but still works like a champ.I am due for new batteries and I am going to go for a Genuine Joye but only because I got an eGo booster and it doesn't work with a T-rex. I'm going to miss the blue ring of light

As Michael curry mentioned "mah" refers to the capacity of your battery. The higher the Mah the more battery life you have. Also the higher the mah the more amps it can handle. All that means is lower ohm equipment will put less stress on the battery. Thats why they say no LR on less than 450 mah. It puts too much stress on your battery and will kill it.

 

[MiXoLoGiSt]

I ordered my eGo-T with LR atomizers since i have seen people love them. Im hoping i love them as much as others do.

this is for anyone who loves ce2s, but hate the cracking tubes, go to your local drug store and purchase "BD 3ml syringe" ($0.25) and follow these instructions - http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/atmosusa/194925-ce2-xl-syringe-mod-copper.html, your ce2s will last a long time.

I did this mod 3 weeks ago on 1 ce2, and still running strong!
