eGo mega dual coil

[jimbalny]

I like the idea that you could charge it like an ego, or you could swap the battery out, pop in a fresh battery, and put the old battery on a standard charger. It also says it has three voltages - but unfortunately, it doesn't say what. 3.2, 3.5, 3.7 is one thing. 3.7, 4, 4.3 would be something else. I suspect the first is much more likely.

Healthcabin shows this: Voltage: 4.2V (high power level)/3.3V (lower power level)
Which most likely means that its unregulated power, 4.2 volts at full charge and about 3.3v (before the protection circuit kicks in to shut the battery down). It would be nice if they could make it regulated at something like 4.2 or even 3.7-3.9, but it already has a charging/protection circuit so prolly not a lot of room for much more. I forget, are joye eGo's regulated?

I have these ultrafire 3000mah 18650's and the 4.2 volts don't seem to last too long after a full charge. I've had better "quality" vaping time off aw imr 1600mah 18650's. Idk if its that the ultrafire's are older/had more use or that the aw's are just way better, got about 5 of the ultrafires in classifieds bundled with my roughstack. Wasn't really impressed with them. It's all about the "C" rating I guess

Yup. They're regulated at 3.4v

Ended up pitching two brand new vz EMDCCs today. One worked fine but had a tight draw and just irritated me, its replacement had a blown coil out of the box. They've been great, and everybody has an off day so I'm not too worried

That distresses me a bit. I was about to order 5 more of them. Did you get the black ones or the fancy colored ones? Probably doesn't matter...but I'm curious.

The ones I ordered were black.

Aww, man! I don't know if I want to order them or not now. I'll probably take the chance though.

I would. I imagine we've spent more money on dumber stuff

blah. dont know what the deal is here. can barely taste my juices in my cartos, both EMDCC and the boge 2.0.. i just bought a new batch of juice. have 8 different flavors total. if i drip it onto my ego-T coil i can taste em just fine. >=/

VERY true!!!!!

What is the PG/VG ratio on your juice? I've found that 80PG/20VG wicks the best. If you have too much VG, it doesn't wick well. That may be your issue...

 

[Vhal]

as far as vapor production goes its fine. but the flavor is really lacking. my juices are all 80-90PG/10-20VG >=/

pretty much use my ego tank atty just for a quick flavor test now since i cant get a wick made that works properly. all my cartos though have that polyfill/hot cardboard hint of flavor to them.. thought maybe it was my juice. but i currently have.... 15 bottles of different juices here, none of which i can really taste through these.

Forgive the noob for being a noob and not wanting to read through 100 pages of posts. I just ordered 3 of these (before I read that the OP purchased 3 originally) and would like to know if I should be concenred about it fitting my eGo clone correctly. I ordered my eGo from myfreedomsmokes and it's been great so far but was looking to enhance the look and performance with the EMDCC's.

They'll work fine. Sometimes you have to raise the center post on either carto or battery to get them to work on clone batteries, but they'll work just fine.

Not always... The FS eGo clones from mypvshop have a massively shorter neck and thread and will not fire under any circumstance without filing or an extender. Others may be the same, depending on what kind of clone it is.

 

[DaBatMan]

thanks wiz!

 

[Marb]

The early ones rarely fired right off on my MV clones, but all of the recent ones I've gotten work without messing with anything. That is, until they get a few days of use on different batts - one of my batts is filed and modded, so it tends to push the center post in a little bit if I screw it down too much. If it doesn't fire up, I'd recommend messing with the carto rather than the batt. That way, in the unlikely event of breaking something, it will be the relatively cheap carto rather than the battery.

 

[DaBatMan]

Ah... so I could be delving into my first serious mod. Great!

First I've heard of that one. The only other one that I know has issues is the generic Smoktechs from madvapes - some of them need a bit of filing as well. Blows my mind that a Smoktech EMDCC won't fire on a Smoktech battery.

That is rather odd, huh?!?

I thought so

I'm gonna cannibalize that Smoktech battery this weekend anyway. After running all over town looking for 14500 batteries today I finally ordered a couple from Kalamazoo Vapor Shop, which is only about an hour and a half from me but I don't wanna make the drive. Everybody where I live (which is the state capital) gave me a blank look when I asked for 14500 protected batteries - and that includes Batteries Plus, Radio Shack and every other electronics store in town.

The only people who didn't give me a blank look was a hobby shop who said they could get them (some radio control stuff uses them).

Anyway, I'm gonna cut about half the tube off that Smoktech battery, throw the battery part away and sink the switch and about half the battery tube into a box mod - a pair of 14500 batteries in parallel should give me 1800mAh, the ability to use an eGo charger *and* screw an EMDCC on the thing

WOW! You have GOT to let me know how that works!! Please???
