I got my DCT yesterday and after some great help here got it up and running. The TH with DC is amazing actually made me cough because I was not expecting it. I love the fact that I have not had to top off a carto today. Do you all find that the DC changes the tastes of the eliquid? I have found that it has inhanced one and changed the other. Is this because they are burning hotter? And a big thanks to all that have helped me out over the last few weeks. And a big thumbs up on the DCT.

Yeah they def change the flavors, some for the better, and some for the worst. Ive found a few of my juices the flavors really pop running hotter and others taste almost burnt. So it really depends, and you gotta test some and see what tastes good to you on what ohm. Personally Im not a huge fan of DCs, but thats just me. Most of the juices I use seem to go toward the burnt taste on a DC but some are good. I just hate how they drain batteries so quickly. Thats why I really like the 1.7ohm Ressurectors. They seem to give a great flavor for a wider variety of my juices, and they produce vapor similar to a lot of DCs, but are single coil so they dont drain batteries as quickly. If the DCs are working for you tho, awesome. Make sure you dont let them get dry though bc you can ruin a carto and singe the wick fairly easily if they arnt kept wet

Easy way to control the heat and flavor your DC puts out is with your thumb...:)
The DC are hotter than standard cartos, so if you hold the button down for a shorter
time, or pulse it on and off 3-4 times while drawing, until the heat and flavor is optimum.

Tobacco and coffee type flavors can take more heat, fruit and creamy less by far.
Experiment with using less "on time" with the button, and vary how much the
carto heats the juice.

Thanks for the tip! I'm going to try that.

Yes, thank you for your comments and suggestions. My tastes are still getting adjusted. One day a juice tastes great the next not so much and then a few days later it is good again. Last night and today are my only expierence with the DCs, I have 2 DCTs with different flavors and it is wierd because most of the day it has been great, but then a couple of times on both of the tanks it has tasted just horrible so thinking that maybe I need to make the hole a bit bigger because the bad taste does go away. I have bought quite a few of the prepunched smoketech cartos, but when I run out maybe I will see if I can find some single coil that fit. Still loving not having to top off the carts. They seem to be lasting all day.

DC's do not burn hotter. A 1.5 ohm DC is two standard resistance 3 ohm coils.

I cant agree with this mouse, 2 coils will put out more heat then a single. Also VV & VW with these or any carto will surely help you dial in the best available flavor/Vape

    One of my favorite things to do is to see how many different ways I can make a juice flavor taste. (thus my signature)
    Many of the flavors you will run into are a complex mixture of different ingredients, and a different combination of voltage & resistance, or different kind of atty or carto can enhance one ingredient while subduing another.

    Yes, but no at the same time.

    Voltage has a lot to do with the statement being true or not. At an eGo's voltage, or even at 3.7v that DCC will produce a fuller vape without the heat of a LR.
    (that's what it was designed for)
    However many DCC users are running them a 5+ volts where they do produce more heat.

    DC's do not burn hotter. A 1.5 ohm DC is two standard resistance 3 ohm coils.

    Running a DC increases the total amperage drawn, regardless of voltage applied up to a limit point where the battery cannot supply the amperage and the voltage drops. If the amperage increases the wattage used will also increase and the wattage = heat. The watts are divided across two coils and this keeps the juice from instantly burning, but the total wattage does increase (assuming the battery can handle the drain).
