Dual Coil XL Clear Cartomizers ?? Any bad experiences??

[elan123]

I bought 2 of these from madvapes and I gotta tell you.... better than any carto or clearo I've ever used. They hold like 3ML of liquid and they are great!!! So easy to fill and refill... Easiest ever.

Why would people NOT use these? I ordered 2 more...

I'll probably order about 6 more so I can have 10 of them on hand for my 10 favorite liquids (only have 3 faves so far).

I can honestly say I haven't had any bad experiences with any of the dc's other than after 2 weeks use the regular sized clear dc tubing has cracked at connection end but after 2 weeks nuthin to complain about and has only happened to 2 of probably 10 I have used that long.Haven't had that problem with the mega xl clears.......but even with that minor issue was still able to use some tubing off a older(month)carto that had finally had enough to put on one's that had cracked and back to business.These things keep going and I'm using them only at 5-6v.

aye I'm loving the reg size ones and no problems with em so far... I first thought about the XL's but then changed to the others since I don't vape as much as I had smoked analogs and end up not needing to have such a large resevoir...

all four of my xls broke at the base and poured liquid all over my battery i still LOVE them but i try to keep super glue handy lol

I get mine from vaporkings.com you can get plastic of metal. the plastic look nice but the metal dont crack. DC HV 1.5 ohm mega dual coil work flawless on my Ego T and Inferno. 5 carts for $10 Dual Coil Heavy Vapor (DCHV) Black 510 compatible mega cartomizers

I steer clear for the clear tubes. Seems that all of my juices destroy the tubes. They are great when they aren't broken. I love the capacity but don't want them in clear.

I won't use clear cartos of any sort either. Some of my juices eat them and they can't take the abuse my work and play give them. - And with a filler carto, I just can't see any benefit. Who wants to see the bottom darkening with carto crud?? It baffles me.

I have to say that I really like them. All in all I've had nothing but a positive experience with all the DCC's. The only problem that I've encountered happened with the Dual Coil Mega XL. After the initial fill (which took forever), it was flooded and I had to blow out a lot of juice. The filler was above the center tube and it couldn't be completely filled like the regular DCC's. I've only tried one so far and have a couple more to try out. Otherwise, it vapes like champ. I also had an original clear DCC crack on me and I popped it into a CE2 replacement tube. It still works perfectly.

Just retired my 3 week old DCC Mega XL Clear Cartomizer. I like the simplicity of 3.7 volts and this one performed great. They are juice hogs... my usage went from about 3ml/day to around 5ml/day I think mostly because I enjoyed it so much. They are also battery drainers being about 1.5-1.7 ohms so be sure to carry a spare battery. Only problem I had was the plastic at the base cracked and seeped juice. Not a lot but enough so if you wipe it with your finger it would be damp.

Got a second one going now and will try not filling it so much to see if I can cut down on all the "brown" juice collecting at the base. If this one cracks like the first one I may try coating the botton 1/4" of the tube with clear epoxy on the next one and see if that slows the seepage. Definately would make the base stronger in case it tried to break apart as others have mentioned.

I'm a happy camper and will buy more soon.

I've put a few in a 3ml syringe and they still work good, no cracks or leaks.

DC works great w/ a freshly charged of 3.7v batt if PV can support about 3 amps.
I've lost two DC's in two months; I did abuse them though.
Clear tubes last a few weeks before cracking starts.
13 of 13 worked perfect out of the box.
I keep about 5 in rotation; I shelved extra ones I tested.

CE2 has some advantages but CE2 still have some bugs.

I noticed that using the dual coil Dc HV 1.5 at 3.7V in my ProVari my 18650 1600 batteries will last 5 hours. i`m now using a single coil that i non stop vape on and i`m on 15+ hours.

Can you replace the tube with the new "battery" metal tubes?

My second one is only about a week old but having problems. Cartridge gets very hot and spits hot liquid into my mouth. Thought it might be flooded so have blown it out forcfully and still does it. Very little vapor. Any suggestions?

I'm having a major problem with my Dual Coil XL Clear Cartomizers.....I ran out and need to order some more!

Maybe your liquid has gunked up coil?

Can try cleaning or just toss it.

DC does crackle some but should produce good TH when it does.

A longer drip tip may keep liquid from popping in mouth.

Checked this one with meter and is 1.6 ohms. Again, blew it out forcefully making sure it is not flooded. Gunked up coil is what I believe is wrong with it. Really liked my first one as it lasted 3 weeks but this one is only 1 week old. Can you clean these and how do you do it?

I flush mine out with hot tab water then soak in isoprophyl 70% rubbing alcohol for about a day agitating occaisionally to get the gunk of the coils,then flush again with hot tab water and have been sitting them out in the hot sunshine for a few hours(been 95-100 degrees around here)for a day or 2.Then I just check them by blowing in them to see if any moisture is still in there and I have been having terrific sucess with this.

My cleaning style.

Connect clear tube to carto.
Suck/blow hot H2O thru carto.
Suck dry w/ shop vac.

For faster dry and additional cleaning soak in PGA followed by shop vac.

I have problems vaping at 5 volts with any of the dual coil cartos. I can't stop them from giving off that burnt taste when I draw hard on them. I can not take those big, fat hits without that bad taste. I throughly saturate them, let them sit, reprime them, notings helps.???
