eGo mega dual coil

[Iffy]

Ummmm, hadn't considered that. Since the coils are in parallel, if one goes bad (open), it's very possible for the other coil to still 'fire'. The best way to check is by reading the resistance (which requires a meter). A good carto reads ~1.6 ohms. One with a bad coil would read ~3.2 ohms. Both coils bad would read as an open (infinite resistance).

I got two of these in the mail on Saturday. Only filled one right away. I have two ego 650 passthroughs and two Riva batts. It fired on all but one of the Rivas. A slight adjustment to the pin and it fires great as well. The one that I filled, is AVE Hype. 90/10 PG/VG. Right from the start I got great vapor and flavor. I've only had to do one refill since Saturday and I've been on it pretty hard. So today I filled the 2nd one and it is doing well also, with all my batteries. I am going to order a V2 shorty adapter on my next order from Madvapes so that I can use it on my epower. With the 14650 batteries and these cartomizers, I should have an all day sucker!

OK...Because I don't have a lot of money to throw away on every new piece of vape-tech that comes along, I'm always a skeptic...but I threw one of these in with my last MV order....and it's fantastic.

I've wasted money on CE2's, and some boge LR's (too hot for my liking) and liked cignots big cartos, but they still had little pieces of plastic that had to be removed for topping-off...and cost $7.50 each. So needless to say, I had low hopes for yet another carto.

Mostly I drip because even though the act itself is a hassle, the regular component maintenance is almost nil.

I gotta say, I am super impressed. Filled it up, took a drag, great vapor, TH, and flavor. I think I'll order a few more and just carry a them around with me, rather than 2 juice bottles, extra atties and DT's. I personally like the big rubber mouthpiece, it fits nice and snug, and the huge diameter of the thing makes it really easy to top off.

I am also really happy to see just a plain, simple piece of tech that works great right out of the box. It doesn't make contact on one of my batts, but thanks to this thread, I'll get that sorted.

I would completely recommend these to anyone.

I just got my dual coil mega carto and it wouldn't fire on any of my ego or riva batteries but would fire on my echo with an adapter. It does cause my echo to cutoff everytime. It does hold a lot of juice and vapes good also. I only bought one to use on my ego's but I prefer my echo carto on the echo so I probably won't buy anymore but they are a good carto for ego's if you can get them to fire. I will try to pull the battery post out on one of them to see if it will work.

I wiggled the batt post out a little on one of my ego batts and it works good on that one now. I think if I used an ego as my main vape this would probably be my carto of choice if they last for a week or so.

You'll be better served by lifting the center post in the carto instead of the battery. It's easier and I'm firmly of the belief that is the issue. I took my magnifying glass to the first couple and the center of the 510 connection in the carto is flush and maybe even depressed slightly from the outer part with the threads. Comparing to every/any other carto or atty I have, that's not supposed to be that way. Everything else I have, the center part is slightly raised from the outer part.

Good to know, just orderd 10 of them. Thx.

Just for information, I started using a 510 shorty extender so that I could try the dual coil cartomizers on my Roughstack. They worked great. However, I really wanted to try the EMDCC on the Roughstack, so I ordered this:

Joye 510 to Joye eGo or eGo-T style connector adapter

The EMDCC works great on the Roughstack - just as good or better than on the Ego-T. I think that the volume of juice this thing holds and the overall performance is going to make the EMDCC a winner for many 510 applications. Just a note - I've seen this same adapter on pages with high-dollar PVs like the Provari, so the EMDCC is not just for the cheaper PVs. I also saved my caps from previous Ego-T purchases that fit the EMDCC. This will make it real handy to fill a couple of these, cap them, and take them with you for extras that will last an extended period of time. In short, the EMDCC is a winner.

I didn't have anything handy to pull out the carto post and the batt post is easy to pry out a hair with a knife blade. It worked very good on the ego after it made contact.

Txt are you saying that this carto is a better choice over the echo-e? The ego was my main vape until yesterday when I received my Madvape vv. It works.....It works very well!

Tom10: Would a regular extender serve the same purpose as that connector adapter you reference to connect the carto to a mod?

I haven't used either long enough to make a good assesment but both are very good. The dual coil holds quite a bit more juice but I like the looks of the echo-e better. The echo-e has a bottom horiz coil so it can be cleaned easier and should last longer. The dual has more vapor but a little hotter hit and I prefer a little cooler. I won't be using either much being as I use the auto echo and it's carto works very good and holds over 3 ml almost a ml more than the e-carto. If I used an ego much I would probably have some of each. They are coming out with a dual horiz coil echo carto soon so that will be interesting to try.

It takes the 510 to Ego Mega adapter on top of the 510 shorty extension to work on the Roughstack. The 510 shorty extension by itself would not work. I couldn't tell you on other mods, but it works great on the Roughstack and even looks nice. I have the Echo and the Echo E, and I think that the EMDCC is far superior on either the Ego or the Roughstack. I'm sure that some will disagree. I have everything being discussed, so I have compared them.

I thought it would be warmer than you like. Even though I've been using the regular dual coils since they came out and know how much heat the DCs produce, I was pretty surprised by the warmth of the vapor these create. I expected it to be a little cooler just because of the sheer size of these things.

They are good though and I'm sure they will be a hit with the ego users.

Hmmm ... wish somebody would have mentioned that raising the center post of the EGO clone batts is just as easy as raising the center post of the EMDCC. It worked easily on my 1000 mah EGO clone and my KGO 1100's. I hope this finally does the trick so that I don't keep having the make the carto center-post adjustment each time I switch batts.

Now into day 6 with my first carto ... looks like Six is right about these lasting.

Both coils bad would read as an open (infinite resistance).

Thanks for the post. Maybe one day I'll be able to purchase a meter ... not now, tho. That 2nd carto acts like it's only half working, and even the taste and draw isn't as good as the first one, so I think that either it was damaged already or I damaged it. On looking thru the center hole of the carto, I do see some little, very fine wires sticking out ... haven't seen that on any other carto's.

They are good though and I'm sure they will be a hit with the ego users.

I LOVE THESE THINGS!!! I refuse to use anything else now. Huge th, huge vapor. Simply fill and vape. Can't get any better than that. Using it on my ego batts no problems at all.

 

[bruiser]

Does anyone know how many drops these hold? I put 100 in a fresh one, and I'm sure it would have held more.

 

[VeggieGirl]

here's a link about drops ...
Convert-Me.Com - online units conversion • View topic - How many eye drops in 5 ml -

I believe they are advertised to hold about 5 ml.

HINDSIGHT!!!

Heh, I wish I would have read through this thread a little before I bought one for my mine (gold/silver ego from Madvapes). Specifically, wish I would have realized how easy it was to adjust the center pin on the batt as opposed to filing the skirt down - which was also easy, but messed with my custom button-guard and I sorta shaved a little too much off. Otherwise, good enough product...

Yup. I should have never talked about filing the skirt down. Battery center post or carto center pin lifting are better ways to deal with it. I'm 100% recommending the carto center pin adjustment now though. If someone gets over-zealous lifting the battery post, it could be damaged. If someone gets over-zealous lifting the carto center, it can be damaged but doesn't cost nearly so much to replace. - And filing the skirt down might or might not work, plus leaves metal shavings, and can be problematic like you experienced.

Sorry about that.
