dual coils & battery drain, help please

The irony is that when you go 5v or VV, you really no longer need the LR carto that started all this.
You open up a whole bunch of better options.

I agree completely with this statement. You really have much more flexibility.

Another option that I haven't tried but on the surface seems like a great idea, is to get a mechanical model with a large battery, (I think Super T Manufacturing is one example), and then for $40 buy the new "Kick" from nhaler.com. As I understand it, it will turn the mechanical (3.7v/6v only) model into a variable wattage Darwin.

I'm interested in seeing some reviews of this latest invention on the market.

Super T Manufacturing, Innovative manufacturer of electronic cigarette products.

My understanding is that a new beta version is in the hands of testers. Hopefully it will get released soon
I believe AltSmoke will also be getting them.

If the person enjoys the consistency, warmer vapor along with good battery life of a good 5 volt or variable volt model, that is the exact direction to go in. Many of us have vaped multiple models at all levels and find that 5 volt and variable volt models provide a more consistent and nice vape. Both my 5 volt and variable volt models last significantly longer than any 3.7 volt model.

I didn't talk about quality of vapour, but about battery drain time only. Of course, 5v would provide better vapor but due to higher wattage and amperage, I.e. less battery drain time. If your 5v mod lasts longer than 3.7V with the same cartomizesr/atty this means it has higher capacity. If you say 5V mod with the same mAh lasts longer than 3.7V then it means that Ohm's Law is incorrect.

I agree with you that the same "mAh" rating will last the same time when everything else is equal. I also agree that a 5 volt or VV model will provide warmer vapor.

Okay, thank you all for your help, I now feel much better for my decision to order the Madvapes 2AA / 3.7v mod box set up, 14500 900mAh Trustfires. Especially when it only cost $40, and that includes the charger & extra batt!. I figure, for the money, I should just fine vaping my dc's. Words cannot even begin to explain the enjoyment of vaping (thepinkspot.com) Andes Mint Chocolate and Chunky Monkey, (sometimes mixed together), in a dual, pure heaven, at 24 mg BTW. Yeah! I can't wait to get the shipment, charge up, vape away!

Here is another good all mechanical mod...Rive Indulgence V3 (elitevaporworks.com). Can be used at 3.7V, 4.8V, and at 6V. I run mine at 6V with a dcc. Awesome inexpensive mod.

Also, for a good 5V box mod, check out maximumvapors.com. His electronics are very clean and well made. He also stands behind his work. Good guy to deal with.

You may have damaged your battery's protection circuits and after that it may start not holding charge as well or may even be dangerous to charge. The dual coil should never have been put on a slim battery. Slim batteries should be using things that are 2.5 to 3 ohms single coils (a 2.5 ohm dual coil won't work either because it's 2 5 ohm coils and works on high voltage mods.)

In general, anything under 2.5 ohms belongs on a fat battery model or mods. And even the mass manufactured fat battery models (Ego etc) are occasionally damaged by 1.5ohms. Some people will only go that low on mods.

If you want something with a big battery and 901 connection (901 connection with work with KR808D-1 cartos only IF the socket provides appropriate airflow for KR808D-1. In general I think the threaded end of the battery to have a slotted post to let air in?). You are also used to using 3.7v so you probably don't want a 3.4v big battery. Ones you can research (as to how well they work with KR808D-1 cartos and what their real voltage is) are the Kanger Vgo version that is KR808D-1 threaded (there is also a 510-threaded version), Igo, the Riva 901's at Liberty-Flights.com (I believe they have a slotted post but don't know if they are 3.7v), the CigEasy Elegant Easy. And any of these would need that own charger which will put of more mA and is not to be used to charge slim KR8 batteries.
Read about the KR808D-1 threaded Vgo version here

Alternately you can get a more flexible 510-threaded 3.7v model like the Riva 510 kits at Liberty-Flights.com (their kits are 3.7v because they are new stock from the one Riva manufacturer who now makes the 3.7v ones). The Kgos may also me 3.7v. Or get a 3.7v mod. You can use a 510 to 808 adapter to put KR808D-1 cartos on them and can also use 510-threaded stuff on them. With Riva or Kgo or small battery mods, 1.5 ohms may still be pushing the edge a bit. Some recommend large battery mods (like ones that use 18350 or 18650) for 1.5 ohm vaping.

So what I ordered, from Madvapes, is a pre-fab mod box, 2AA box, uses one 14500/ 900mAh batt, (i ordered 3), and a charger. All for $40!
Just came in today, this afternoon, just about charged up. I'll post again later with results. Thank you all for your recommendations!
