Help with Ego Drip setup

[MasterBlaster]

Hey guys I have an ego twist and want some gear to drip but dont know what I need because i've never dripped before. I looked into the Empire mods stuff and that looks promising. They have the 510 LR 1.8 bridgeless attys with the Empire Ego drip Shield and that looks to be around the neighborhood of what I need but what are some other options? I dont want to deal with the REBUILDABLE attys I just want something simple and long lasting. I primarily use carto tanks so I dont need something that I'm going to need to rely on all day I just want to be able to drip at home from time to time mainly to just sample juices easier. Thanks

Hi - I use the 510 LR attys that came with my original eGo kit. I don't use a drip shield though, I started dripping before I knew such a thing existed (I just put on my glasses). While I use the 510s, I prefer an LR306 with a Cannon drip tip. With or without bridge/wick is a personal choice. Cheers!

The 510 1.8 bridgeless attys and eGo drip shield from Empire mods work very well together on Twists. Their 306 and 901 (with sealed shorty adapter) also work well with the eGo drip shield

The specs on the 510 LR at Empire said not to use them over 3.7 volts. Why do you need to keep the voltage so low? Is it because there is no filler material and the juice is directly in the coil? What will happen if you go over that? Will it just over heat and burn out leaving the atty useless?

Also, hows the draw on those Empire attys? I heard of a few others that are really tight and hard to draw on. I dont like loose airy draws but I dont want to feel like im sucking on a mcdonalds milk shake though a coffee stirring straw either

Ohms law. High voltage + low resistance = high amperage. An ego battery handles about 2.2 amps which is about the equivalent of 4v / 1.8 ohms, any more could damage the battery. You can push the atty on a mod with a higher rated battery and switch but it will shorten the atty's life.

So if I'm understanding correctly, if I get that 1.8 ohm LR atty from Empire Mods i'll be fine on my Ego Twist 1000 mah as long as I keep it at 3.7 - 4.0 volts? Would the 1.5 LR atty be any better or worse?

 

[USinchains]

Right. You could just get the 1.8, on a twist you can increase the voltage a bit and achieve the same thing as using a 1.5ohm atty. Check out an ohms law calculator on google, plug in your volts (power from battery) and resistance (atty ohms), hit calculate and it will tell you how many amps and watts that equals.

ok cool now one other question, Can I use the 901 attys on my ego too as long as I have the adapter? I believe the 510 to 901 shorty adapter from Empire?

 

[USinchains]

Yes, ohms law still applies though so follow the same limits for any type of atomizer. No lower than 1.8 on a standard 3.7v ego is within the safe amperage zone.
