CoV has the R4 XL 510 cartomizers but they are 2.5Ω. I was hoping for 3.0Ω. Have any of you tried the 2.5Ω XLs on a Riva/eGo? I understand that they run hotter than standard cartos/atties of similar resistance.

Yes, they do run hotter even at 2.6 R4 on the riva/ego. The R4 does wicks better then previous version but still not suitable to use on the riva/ego, my :2c: anyway.

Bad: Wish I had order some 3.0 to 3.2 with my last order. Now I have to make another order for those higher ohms ones..lol

heres some advice for thr r4 ro any good e2, using all 3 plugs just doesnt cut it for me, i like the draw and wicking better with only 1 plug either the center one or the middle one and placed in backwards, i have had no leaking in my pocket of any kind, I also make the center hole bigger on any plug i decide to use.

Any more promises from Martinez bad...or has he slammed the door on you too?

he has no clue where the e2 with glue came form as in shippied to people, he explained hes not the shipper and cant handle all the departments, i do understand that part and let him know that he needs to figure out a way to make sure ....... arent shippe dout but as much as he tries there must be someone higher up then him making other decisions or they arent listening, supposedly people have been fired again. I wont speak for him but he does sound genuienly ...... and embarassed, now that doesnt solve any issues or turn back time, so like i said i cant speak for him other then telling you what i have been told, ive yelled and i have flipped on him like as if he was a child and he seemed as if hes trying to do it all but its just to much to do so, again its no ones problems but microcigs but i think many are targeting and singling out martinez as if he builds the e2, manufactures it, puts them together, packs them and ships them out himself and thats not just not how things work. He has stuck by and gotten the e2 this far and i do appreciate that but these .......s have to go and hes been working on that all day yesterday and today to solve these issues he said.

whatever the issue is they need to get a grip on it. he promised things and most of it was sent, he was shocked my order was wrong and that other people got .......s and already sent out a package today for what was missing and a few extra for a some that need returns from last week.

Yup.. I was just pondering this. Electricity mostly flows over the surface of a wire (for a scientific reason I can't remember). So more surface area = less resistance.

I believe the skin effect has more to do with ac voltage, especially at VHF. That's when Litz wire may become important. Don't think it matters for direct current. But then, I may be full of Shinola. I don't remember much of that stuff anymore.
