Dual Coil Carto Vs. Single Coil

[arvindunit]

Hey Everyone,

I have a question. Currently i am using a Boge LR 2.0 Ohm Cartomizer and very comfortable with it. However, i am getting tired of refilling the damn thing so i ordered the following tank:

Elite Vaporworks 3.5ml Dual Coil Cartomizer Tank with Chrome Caps-Clear - 510 Cartomizers and Tanks

this comes with a smoktek

1.5 Ohm Pre-Punched Dual Coil Cartomizer.

​

how will this compare in terms of throat hit?

thanks guys

Should be approx the same. throat hit is more determined by the amt of nic. however the vapor will be a little warmer since the resistance is a little lower.

Or if you prefer order the tank without the 1.5 and use your 2.0. need to punch your own tho..

How that will differ depends very much on whether or not your Boge is single or dual coil. I'm guessing single? [Does Boge make dual coils? hmm...]

And what voltage is your PV? A Joyetech would be 3.4 volts, many others are 3.7.

If your Boge is a single coil, at 3.7 volts you'd be putting 3.7 x 3.7 / 2 = 6.8 watts to it. Not very good. If it was a dual coil, each coil would get 1/2 of that, or 3.4 watts, which would hardly vape anything, so it's probably a single.

At 3.7 volts, your dual coil 1.5 ohm will put 3.7 x 3.7 / 1.5 / 2 coils = 4.5 watts per coil. Pretty dismal.

Two coils require lots of power. More voltage than most single-battery non-variable voltage PV's can muster, and are really just a cruel hoax perpetrated on newcomers. I know I got sucked into it by a vendor that I now know more than.

Bottom line: the faster you get into variable voltage, the better. Until you do, you will not know what you're missing, and will wish you had done it much sooner.

On the cheap, a single-coil 1.5 carto in that tank, which I like very much and just bought 5 of (I think it's a re-branded Smoktech 3.5 DCT tank), should give you a much better vape than that dual coil.

3.7v x 3.7v / 1.5 = 9.12 watts. Now we're getting somewhere.

Just think of watts as heat. The coil has to get to a certain temperature to vaporize the juice and release the flavor molecules into the vape.

I actually bought a bunch of the Boge 2.0's (and 3.0's) on sale and cut down a cheap tank to fit them. Slotted one with my dremel, and let it rip. They do great in a tank setup; one of the best carto's I have used in one so far. The dual coils are actually pretty darn good though. The only problem I had is using them with high VG liquids with the stock sized hole, and with darker liquids. Making the hole bigger was easy and solved the wicking problem. But with darker liquids they seem to build up a funky taste after a tank. The 1.5's do provide a warmer hit (as mentioned above) and a bit more vapor, especially when using them at a lower voltage. And I have one in service I have been running a variety of light colored fruit flavors through for over a week now without any problems.

Oh, BTW, if you want to order a few more on the cheap, check out https://ecigaretteimpressions.com/accessories/dct.php

They are one of the cheapest spots I have found them so far, and they provide great service.

Ditto John D's reply. Also, if that tank comes with the Smoktech 1.5 Ohm XL dual coil, Smoktech also makes a 1.7 Ohm XL single coil that'll be a direct replacement. Just make sure they're properly punched (I think some vendors provide them pre-punched, not sure as I don't use tanks myself). I know they are generally available for a good price w/ free shipping from Crystal Clear Vaping and http://www.vaporbeast.com/default.asp . Personally I have not gotten what I consider an acceptable vape from the DC cartos I've tried on my 3.7 volt E-Power. Hope this helps.

what is the best cartomizer?

@ A X O
Go Boge. They started the whole thing and quality has not suffered even with mass production.

I have been using DCT dualcoils with tank while moving, and drippping at home.

Actually the resistance of the coils is higher. A 1.5ohm DCC has two 3ohm coils in it. Thus at the same voltage they will be a cooler vape than a 2ohm carto, but more of it.

I think it is personal preference really. I use LR Boges exclusively. I have tried DC cartos and didn't like the way they performed. I did the same thing as someone above, cut down a DC tank to fit my boges. My favorite tank is my mini-sub from Mom and Pop vapor shop.

If your Boge is a single coil, at 3.7 volts you'd be putting 3.7 x 3.7 / 2 = 6.8 watts to it. Not very good. If it was a dual coil, each coil would get 1/2 of that, or 3.4 watts, which would hardly vape anything, so it's probably a single.

At 3.7 volts, your dual coil 1.5 ohm will put 3.7 x 3.7 / 1.5 / 2 coils = 4.5 watts per coil. Pretty dismal.

Many thanks for this! Just this morning it occurred to me that the dual coil 1.5R carto on my 3.7V mod would likely be outperformed by a single coil of the same resistance.

Two coils require lots of power. More voltage than most single-battery non-variable voltage PV's can muster, and are really just a cruel hoax perpetrated on newcomers.

On the nose. I was a premium tobacconist for five years, and I can confirm that the myths and misapprehensions attendant to similar industries are better perpetuated by the truths vendors omit as opposed to the lies they publish.
