DCT Tank "too airy" any help PLEASE????

[Sarah Kemp]

Hi all, I got a DCT tank,

I like the design etc, as far as i'm aware it's a 1.5 ohm resistance dual coil one from liberty flights, however i'm finding on my riva 501 (650 mah)

i am out of breath before I get enough vapour, is this likely to be a dud or is this normal? any help please?

I get the same thing on my 650 EGO batts but when I use on my 5v its is wonderful. I think they are acceptable on the EGO but def not my fav. I am a bigger fan of the DCT on the 5v. Use them all the time 1.5 and 2.0

 

[Sarah Kemp]

ah right,

is there any comparable tank system that will work on a 650 mah then?

 

[dshark]

I couldn't really answer that from a tank standpoint however I do like the new (or new to me anyway) 510 CE2 Cartomizer XL Revision 5. These seem to give me a nice TH, vape with much less effort than the DCT on an EGO. I got mine from MVS. I liked it so well I tried to use it on my 5v and popped the coil after 3 drags. Wrecked 2 brand new ones doing this.
Hope that helps.

**EDIT**
although it is not a tank it should be noted that they will hold 1.8 mil.

Agree, the DCT need more voltage for a nice vape. eGo works well with the CE2s and Madvapes has Bauway CE2 in 2.5 for eGo and 3.0 ohm for 5v PVs......I use all of the above...

 

[Sarah Kemp]

But the thing is, I assumed the DCT was a DUal coil 1.5 ohm smoktech?

As far as i was aware these are branded for the EGO 510 (650 mah) batteries or am i mistaken?

 

[Stosh]

the DCT IS a dual coil 1.5 ohm smoktech,
the eGo just has trouble putting out enough amps fast enough to really light it up.

 

[dshark]

Not sure of the accuracy of that statement but they can be used on pretty much anything with a 510 connection. With my peticular 5v it is a GLV 5v which has a resistor that self adjusts so I can run a 1.5 or 2.0, 2.5, 3.0 and so on. Any of these are all driven to the same output in terms of vapor and voltage and such. I don't know the specifics but I have asked the questions and the answers all come back the same. K, now that I have gone a bit off track 1.5 dual coil are intended for low voltage units for supposed better vape reproduction but I have the 2.0 ohm one on one of my EGO's and I don't notice much of a difference.

thats a good point I struggle to get enough vape out of the EGO so much that I end up putting my batt in its blinking mode which tells me I am holding power to it for too long.

Well agreed Dshark, as I say I have to suck till im out of breath to get a semi decent hit!

Not great,

guess ill stick with carto's and boges... good old boges

I'm sitting here with a half full DCT with a 1.5 Smoketek carto on a 4 volt USB passthrough and I have the same problem. I can take a couple hits every hour or so, but they're tight as heck, weak and generally suck out loud. Amperage draw isn't the problem. I can't make it fire on my 5V at all or I'd try that. I'm thinking it's the carto, but I don't have a saddle clamp or any more punched cartos. I enlarged the hole in the carto because I use 80% VG, but it didn't help. The spare carto I got with the DCT was DOA. So far, the DCT's been a total waste for me. I think they're only good for thin juice.

 

[Stosh]

At 4v on a 1.5 DCC, you're getting all of 5.3 watts one each 3 ohm coil inside, assuming
the pass through can put out 2.6 amps or else the wattage would be even lower.

You can't cheat ohms law....

Nothing like the good old boges.

They're still my favorite after trying nearly every type of cartomizers(dual/triple coils, DCT, mega dual coil, etc.)

At 1.5 ohms dual coil, that's 2 coils at 3 ohms each, with 1.4 amps through each coil, for a total of 2.8 amps drawn by the load. 5.88 watts of power dissipated. AFAIK, the only dual-coil carto's recommended for the Ego style batts are the 1.5 ohm, and I have found that they suck at producing vapor with a dual coil. You're going to be much better off as others have suggested with ce2's, fluxomizers, etc. A lot of folks on here recommend smoktech and boge single-coils as well. YMMV.
