Hey guys! Roughstack questions :)

[krykiett]

Hey guys!

I'm a new owner of a Maxi Roughstack v2 and I love it. I am running it at 6v paired up with the 510 Dual Coil Mega XL carts and I have a few questions.

It says that the total resistance is 1.6 ohms, so wouldn't that effectively be low resistance? If not, and I purchase a single coil option(atty, cart, etc) would I have to go with a higher resistance, or would LR still work and not blow up? If I have to go higher, what is an optimal resistance range?

I suppose I should have asked this questions prior to purchase, but I read a lot of posts and many people said this pairing works well, which it does; I am just not a fan of the polyfil and I am looking into some other options. I've heard the clearomizer/fluxomizer setup with 6v is also a good pairing, but again, I am unsure of what resistance is safe with a 6v device.

Thanks guys for all your suggestions, help and comments

technically anything under 2.5 ohms is considered low resistance since 2.5 is the standard. But with that said, comparing 1.6 ohm dual coils and a singl1 1.7 ohm coil, the single coil will burn.

With dual coils, the heat is spread over two 3.2 ohm coils so each coil is not as hot, with a single coil, it will be very hot and double the watts of what just one of the dc coils would be handling..

A safe bet for 6 volts with a single coil is to start at say 3.2 ohms and work down to maybe 2.5 if your batteries will support it (the protection doesn't trip)..

Thanks hoog.

Opinion wise, what do you think of the ce2s vs the dc megas?

You'll need a shorty extender for the mega DCs on your rough stack. - I use DCs and CE2s. The DCs are a lot less hassle... and Hoog has indicated that there is a likelihood he's going to discontinue carrying RoyalSmoker (the manufacturer of CE2s), so that's to be considered as well.
