Hello from Austria

[elouyn]

Hi,

I started vaping in November 2011. First experience was not so nice, I fell for a really expensive first-generation 510 starter kit when I could have had a 510-T starter kit for half the price I wish I had asked on this forum beforehand, but I was lazy and simply googled for 2min - the above-mentioned online store must have heavily invested in google ads...

anyway, by now I've also tried eGo-C and many cartomizers (which I kinda prefer compared to atomizer+tank), I'm having HUGE fun mixing my own liquids (bought a 0.01g-scale for that) and now I would like to join some discussions on this forum, and ask a few very specific questions.

I really really enjoy vaping, some cartomizers work so well, I'm thrilled. This is so much better than smoking...

best regards,
-Elo

Good day Mate! Welcome to ECF! You don't have to wait until you reach 5 posts to ask your questions. I'm a DIY person and I'm sure there are several others who frequent this forum...so ask away! If I can't answer, I'm sure someone else can.

Hello & welcome Elo

I was wondering if it's possible that a cartomizer produces less smoke when operated with too much Volt. This is what I am using:

- the "New CE2 clearomizers for 510/eGo" from Healthcabin
- the MOD tube from Healthcabin with an Ultrafire 18650 protected battery (I measured the voltage, it's about 4.1V at the moment)
- a variable voltage battery that I am operating at 3.2V (I checked, it's really 3.2V give or take 0.1V)

I noticed that those cartomizers produce more vapor when used at 3.2 Volt. Is this normal? There is no burning taste with both batteries. I thought with the stronger battery it will be either burning taste or more vapor. Instead, it's less vapor and no burning taste...

Different ohm clearomizers require different volts...so it's possible. That's the one thing I love about VV...you can find your sweet spot for different ohms, and different flavorings.
Something else that has to do with more vaper is your VG/PG ratio. More PG means more vaper.

Hi Elo and welcome to the forum.

Well I'm glad you gave it a second try and welcome.

TYPO ALERT: I think Kay meant to say that more VG=more vapor.

For what it's worth, my wife uses Bauway 2ohm CE2's (from MadVapes) on her Indulgence, which powers them at 3.1-3.3 volts, and she gets a metric sh!!-ton of vapor. As to the "strength" of the battery, your 18650 will push similar voltages to, say, a 510 battery, or even a cigarette-lookalike battery - it will just push that voltage for MUCH longer before needing to be charged. You may want to check out the reisitance on the CE2 you're using; a touch lower might be what you're looking for.
