The new one will be able to handle them. # Ohm cartos are a better vape though. If you moved a couple wires inside the dual carto it would become a 3Ohm carto.

My understanding is that they are 2 3.2 ohm coils in parallel so in series they would be 6.4 ohms , too high BUT use 2 x 1.5 ohm coils like an LR and put them in series and you get 3 ohms so ???

Or for that matter get Iken to test a 3 ohm long coil type , so use a heavy wire diameter and double the coils , this = more surface area ( he may already be doing this ?? ) say a 34 guage or so Ni=chrome wire

Not trying to hijack the thread, but my question is on the same line - How about the Buzz? Can it run the dual coils at HV?

I didn't want to ask in my general forum thread because I'd probably get you in trouble if you answered.

Yes it will work , the Buzz has a 3 amp current limit , it will reduce battery life however .

I can answer in general threads , I cannot discuss my products or business , in this case it would be ok because it is a direct question and I could just answer YES.

You'll have to think of a longer word, though. The forum is set up to accept no less than 10 characters as a post. -- I just found that out today when trying to give a guy the simple answer to his question - Just "Yes" was no good for the forum lords. the robot stopped me, told me I was dumb, and then led me down some rabbit hole where I could buy seven more characters <grin>

I'm glad to hear that your amp limit is way higher than the other VVs mentioned in the thread. The switches I use are rated to 3 amp and I haven't smoked one of those yet even blasting away at 6.0v.

This leads me to another question. And I can't find the product on your site right now for some reason. You have a short tube to be attached to the atty connector that has VV built in. I looked at it about a week ago and the 510 connector style was out of stock. I can't remember what it was called, but it's your product so I hope you'll know what I'm talking about.

How about that thing? Is there any reason it would be current limited? That might be just as handy to be able to take my 6.0v set up and regulate it down to ~5.5v. It would also put a little buffer between the hot carto and my top mounted switch.

Some people like them but to me they're like using the old 510 atty on the little 510 ecig. I couldn't get any vapor to speak of at any setting. Of course I've been spoiled by the Fusion with it's insane vapor production.

I am always surprised to see you comparing the DCs to a 510 atty on a little 510 cig -- to me, they are nothing like a 510 at all, closer to a premium/wow 808 carto with more flavor, more vapor and no burning. I run them at 3.7-4.0 on my Buzz with beautiful results: lots of warm, tasty, flavorful vapor with some TH, not too much at this voltage, more (of course) at higher voltages. Of course, I am using 70/30vg. I expect vapor and get it, too. You're running 100 PG (I think? :) ), it may be too much heat for that to make much "smoke" on the DC; the Fusion is probably kinder to the higher PG ratio in the vapor department. The Fusion, IMO, hits much more like a 510 with cooler vape, less TH (mostly none, for me), and, yes, more vapor. Pleasant flavor and pretty clouds, but I have to run it higher to reach the same satisfaction as I do the DC at lower voltage so battery life on the Buzz runs about the same for me with both of these - 4-5 hours. And I have to top off the Fusion waaay more often. I consider myself a medium to heavy vaper, most days.

Wait a second, a Fusion is a 510 on an 801 connection, right? Just tweaked with some IKV love. So it probably should vape more like a 510. And a DC is a ... IDK, a Dual Coil? Currently only available with a 510 connection but that doesn't necessarily make it a 510, so it is its own breed? Doesn't matter. I love them. They have replaced my mega 808s from IKV.

SMOKtech quality 1.5 ohm DUAL COIL Cartomizers. These have been proven to work great with HV vaping as although the effective resistance is 1.5-1.6 ohms, each coil is individually rated at 3.2ohm working in parallel.

510 Dual Coil Mega Cart 1.5 +-.2 ohm, in steel. Dual 3.2 ohm coils in parallel giving a total resistance of approximately 1.6 ohms. These produce great amounts of vapor due to the greater heating area of the dual coils but have less potential to burn due to the higher individual resistance of each coil. Keep them WET! They will burn if you run dry! These hold about 25 drops of e-liquid. New improved filler material is more absorbent. NOTE: Will not work with eGo, 510, 901 or mosfet driven type batteries. The Dual Coil should to be used with 3.7 volt mods with a switch capable of handling 2 or more amps. The Dual Coil work great on 5 and 6 volt devices. Your results may vary and the protection circuits on some batteries at higher voltages may see these as a short and not work.

I say give it a try and check the performance. Just dial it down to between 4-5v and you should be golden. I've read of some folks able to use it at a full 6 as well.

My normal set up is a IKV Fusion running at ~4.2v on my Darwin and a dualie on my Silver Bullet. On both, I'm using 80/20% PG/VG from Tasty Vapor. With those parameters, the Fusion beats the dualie hands down on flavor, it's not even close. I get far more TH on the dualie. If I'm vaping a subtle flavor, it goes into the Fusion, stronger flavors go into the dualie. I've tried higher power on the dualies but 4.2-3.7v is just fine for me. I love the wicking and the no-burn on the Dualies. The Dualies work great on a standard 3.7v device. The fusion I like better with more power. The biggest problem with the fusion is availability.

Hes pondering something with the longer coil. Once his two latest projects hit the shelves hell prolly look into it more. Ive also got him pondering a mega size fusion as well :) MMMMMMMM Mega fusion would make me very happy :)

I think a mega fusion would be a great addition to his line as long as the wicking is as good as the regular fusion. I've had problems with the wicking on his Mega KR808's. To me a mega sized carto is a waste if I have to top it off all the time.

That was the Terminator , we no longer make it ( too time intensive and slow sales ) Ecigsuppy.com has some I think ?? it has a 1.5 volt drop so it will not do the .5 volts you want .

Probably the juice your using. I've used many Megas and just bought some more a while ago and I have never had a wicking issue. The only cartos I have wicking issues with are the CE2s the E2s and all them fillerless cartomizers with one exception and that is if it's in a tank like the MAP and even then I have to turn it upside down between puffs.

I suppose each to their own but I get the same results from them. If I was blindfolded and you put a DC in my mouth to puff or a 510 with an atty on it other than feel I couldn't tell the difference. That's why I just gave my last one away.
I don't go around bying things to give away...... well it seems that way from the vendor I GOT these from.

I need to clarify my position on cartomizers and attys. I believe we are all right in our choice of cartomizers and atomizers. I think it comes down to what kind and flavor of juice you use and your vaping style as to why one person thinks their brand or style of carto/atty is the best and the next one don't. When I post what I think of a certain carto or atty that is just my opinion and we all know opinions are like....well you know. So in the end the people that use juice with similar ingredients in it as me and the style that I vape will agree with me. The ones that don't won't. It doesn't make either one of us wrong or right it just means that's our choice. If everyone agreed with every thing I like it would be a very dull world. Diversity and freedom of choice is what make this a great country and notcig a great subforum on ECF. In the end I guess I'm saying please don't take offense because I like one and you like the other, we can still like each other.

OOPS I heard of double posting but not quad posting. My Bad, sorry.

You are right about each to his own because I get the best warmth, flavor, vapor and TH using my Buzz with the dual coils. I used to be a fan of the IKV megas. After using these for 2 weeks I tried one of the megas and it was like breathing in air :)
See that's what I mean. That's exactly how I see the DC compared to the megas except in the opposite order.
I just gave/sent my last one to Timothy Cullen.
BTW I know some think I'm an Ikenvape fanboy but that's not true. I don't like a few of his cartos. The gold 510, not the V2 and among others the 901. and many love the 901 but not me. But I love and only use his others because they're the best ones I've found.

Yeah I think that everyone just has their own things that they are looking for in a carto. Kind of like juice. What some people may love others hate. That is what makes us all individuals :)

But I have to tell you, these Dcs paired with my Buzz is like heaven to me :) I did not think that vaping could possibly get any better when I got my Buzz until I tried my Buzz with the DCs :)
