ego-C Twist with DCT's (1.5ohms)

[vexxy]

I've recently bought some DCT's from totally-wicked (the 2 x 3.0ohms)..1.5 ohm. I like the tanks alot and they taste really well. However, compared to my 2.0 clearomizer or single coils at 1.9, the amount of vapor is lower. I've read somewhere that DCT's are not recommended on ego PV's since the max output of the PV is around 2.5amps, no matter how high you pump up the voltage. Is that true? I really like the size of the ego-C Twist and I really don't want to purchase anything bigger.

Any advices..tips..hints? Thanks lot

Once you reach the amp limit of the battery, the voltage will not increase even if you turn it up.
OhmsLawCalc.....link.
You can use the above calc to play with the numbers.
Also, the higher current or amps, the shorter the battery life between charges and the more internal heat generated.

ya..the question still remains..are the ego's limited to 2.5 amps?

 

[skelley]

Yes and there are several reviews that show that, google is your friend.
I'm not sure about the knock-offs though.

No, your question was..."since the output was 2.5amps, did the voltage change?" I answered the question, but apparently you don't understand.

since the max output of the PV is around 2.5amps, no matter how high you pump up the voltage. Is that true? I really like the size of the ego-C Twist and I really don't want to purchase anything bigger.

I cant imagine amps being an issue. This carto would be a dual 1.5ohm? I would say start out at a range of 3.8v to 4v and increase to where you find it works best. Ive noticed every carto Ive put in my tank gets better by the next day. Someone gave me a tip to hold my pv more horizontal and not vertical. That seemed to help a bit.

Im currently using a dual 2ohm at 4v on a twist and its vaping great. Sure at higher voltage I will get more vapor and th. But its performing well and Im saving power. Find what works best for you.

Just my preference, I never use the carto protector. I find its better to allow the condensation to seep back into the carto and not into the air tube.

Also with dual coils I take a short puff before a long draw. Gives the coils a chance to heat up and that gives me more vapor.

Your not serious are you?
1.5ohms on a 2.5amp limit devices maxed out is 3.8volts.
"I cant imagine amps being an issue." seriously? amps are more important than you know.

 

[Disk4mat]

Yes Im serious and but I didnt do the math... I did a quick est of 3.8v at 3ohms
If I rushed into an answer/statement that is incorrect, I apologize

that's what I meant actually..I heard no matter how much you pump the voltage on the Twist...you got no more than 2.5 amps out of it..

I use a dual coil at 1.5 ohms (2 x 3.0)..and I vape similar..puffing a bit then draw the vape..for increased vapor production..but still, it doesn't perform (vapor production wise) the same as the clearo or single coils. That's why I posted, I know some of you guys use the Twist with dual coils and I wanna learn for your experience

As for the part with Google is my friend, I did that ...there are many reviews and not all share the same ideea..that's why I came to you guys.

The reviews I've seen is that the Twist can only put out 2.5 amps. So the most power you can get into 1.5 ohms is I*I*1.5= 2.5*2.5*1.5= 9.4 watts. This occurs at E=IR= 2.5 * 1.5= 3.75 V. Twisting above 3.75V will give no more power.

9.4 watts is above the 8 watts many consider good, so not bad.

The atomizer that will give you the most watts with a twist is R=4.8V/2.5A= 1.92 ohms. In this case you can get I*I*1.92 = 2.5*2.5*1.92 = 12 watts. This is not a whole lot higher than 9.4 watts, so 1.5 ohms isn't so bad.

In comparison, take a 2.5 ohm atomizer.In this case the maximum current is 4.8V/2.5= 1.92 amps and the device is not current limited. So the power is 1.92*1.92*2.5 = 9.2 watts, which is about the same as for the 1.5 ohm atomizer.

(1.92 keeps popping up everywhere above. This is just a coincidence !)

The exact results should be taken with a little grain of salt since the current limit may depend on the voltage, the current limit may not be EXACTLY 2.5 amps, etc.

However, the conclusion is that 1.5 ohms is not too bad.

I myself use 1.8 ohms, which is close to the optimum (1.92 ohms) for most power.
(11.25 watts vs. 12 watts max. at 1.92 ohms) Nobody sells a 1.92 ohm atomizer anyway !
