hi fellas, newbie alert.

[JIMP-er46]

I beg to differ on the SD Keyring. it's suitable for some as the ultimate "stealth" vaping experience, considering it's cost of less $30 and as a 300ma battery. I feel it's quite a good standby or "walk around town" kit. have used it in some very restrictive places and got away with it. 18mg 100% PG and minimal vapour. of course at home I'll just OD with the GG/Ody.

Lictenau, he didn't get in on e $30 SD K. He was looking at e $68 option.

To add to what u've said abt stealth-vaping, yes, i do agree tt it's stealthy but i would rather get a btr option and vape in a more secluded location or away frm prying eyes. And what's e point of vaping when e vapor is minimal? Men are visual beings / creatures and i guess, tt boils down to personal preference.

Yeah, no smoke, no shiok...!

Ooops...

Sorry I mean, no vapor, no shiok...!

hey karl, are you talking about the Ovale V6 i saw on a website? if the this Ovale V6 doesn't work, do you have any recommendations? i saw that the Ovale V6 uses 2 batteries, i will investigate what i can find tho.

thanks for your help once again.

I believe he's pointing u in e direction of a box-mod.

 

[JIMP-er46]

thanks Rul46 for letting me in on the SDK.

what have you upgraded to? if possible could you let me in on how you upgraded? let me know by pm or any way safely.

the thing is i'm trying to get a PV where i can have options of using a wider variety of cartos without being limited by the LT safety features. if i can't find any viable option, i'll just get the LT and stick to my single coil options for now.

can i get any high power PV, say if i increase my budget to 200. portability is not an issue as i mainly want to use it at home. also i don't mind a secondhand set as long as its not too old and functioning fine. lol desperate measures.

No worries, fallraen!

Upgraded to GG, like most others here.

The way u phrased yr words, i guess it clearly resonated tt u're looking for a mod, be it a mech or box mod. Correct me if i'm wrong. But e way it is in Sg, we don't have that many options, not to mention little or no way of buying those elusive PVs.

If u're thinking hi-powered in e sense of 5v - 7.4v, tube mods with batt stacking or box mods w/parallel lined batts.
Or u could go 3.7v (single batt) with LR attys/cartos to simulate tt feeling. U can try e Classies for mods but then, bringing them in could prove to be risky and u could end up with nothing at all and a bitter resentment towards HeSatAlone.

I don't know whether the V6 can pump out at least 6A or not. Afterall the "V6" in the name is just a name for the product. I won't draw any conclusions based on that.

As I have mentioned before, the max current output of the device is the number you should be looking at instead of how many volts it can supply. I can make a PV that pumps out 10V but the max current is 500mA which is useless. Not many VV mod manufacturers label the max current for their PVs as this would tell people how adequate or inadequate the PV is. However this is point is only valid for mods that uses a regulator e.g. V6, LT, Provari, VET, Ego & etc. Mechanical mods that do not use a regulator e.g. Bulli, GG, Don, Reo mini & grande rely solely on the batteries used it self.

Regarding the usage of DC stuff, I have misunderstood the labelled ohms. After further research, the labelled ohms of a DC carto is actually the average resistance of the 2 coils. I illustrate in an example below.

A generic DCC is usually labelled 1.5Ohms. However this is an indication of the average resistance of the 2 coils inside. To find out what is the resistance of the individual coil we use:

We assume that both coils are created equeally
1/[(1/1.5)/2] = 3 Ohms.

At 3.7V, current through each coil will be 1.233A and in a parallel configuration we get 2.466A or 9.12Watts

As you can see each coil is 3ohms and 2 of these connected in parallel we get 1.5Ohm. Technically the OEMs are not wrong when they label it as such.

Dammit.... I could written a thesis on this... but gotta continue working... so till next time

Salute Dr Karl....!

thanks thanks and thanks! well, i was hoping i could skip the entire 'upgrade' phase and just go GG or something like that. yes i don't mind box mods or anything that is 'bigger', as long as at the end of the day i can get a good hit is all that matters. so as i have mentioned i don't even mind if its second hand but it seems almost impossible. if all else fails, i guess i'll just LT for now. and upgrade in future.

thanks guys!

Hey Bro.

Actually, i was gonna place my order for LT. Can you pls share the joys n spoils?
I read somewhere it doesnt work well with a 1.5ohm DCT, do you know what happens
if applied?

Many Tks In Advance

fallraen, do not waste your time on an SD Keyring! I repeat, do not, period!

It might just turn u off. Vapor production was poor, TH is sub-standard and battery-life is like........

Btw, for those using e LT, here's a method for u to check yr loaded voltage: press e on/off button 7 times and then press e manual button and on/off button simultaneously and VOILA! Although it can be argued whether tt's e true voltage reading.

But seriously, e LT is good to start with if u want to quit smoking with 100% intention. But yes, it has a lot of limitations. I've had my share of joys and spoils w e lavatube and have upgraded after I've discovered tt I love vaping.

Like what Madhero said, it might not be an investment as u can't sell it for higher than what u bought them originally for but it is worth trying. Nonetheless, it's still worth buying as a first kit.

 

[sixfiend]

you probably won't get the vape that you'll expect from a dual coil and most likely a bad experience but hey if it doesn't bother you to just use some good single coil stuff then, the LT is excellent. wait up soon for my short review.

 

[phonefix]

That's true. very little vapor but great warm taste. Am researching on see through carts or clears which does not need a syringe for filling(too troublesome for me) and drip tip friendly.

Am eagerly waiting for any full review. Happy Vaping guys!!!

 

[Vinniz]

Its all in the juice. had no problems with LR DCC firing up or Vapor (being COV)

 

[phonefix]

What V for batt r u running? Sure can fire and vape, in my case minimum vapor and little throat hit.
1000mah ego-t batt3.3V, Dk juicy peach, DCT carts all primed, left to sit. Dry pulls applied to saturate the eliquids before vaping..

Maybe some contri from u senior. Tks.

 

[Currynoah]

Did you check your connectors between the atty and the battery? If flooded may cause the abovementioned scenario too.

Is yours e VVET? Try setting up yr DCT @ 3.7-4.2v. 3.3v too weak, no kick. And yes, for vapor, like wat Vinniz said it all boils down to e e-liq tt u're vaping on. U could try higher VG content.

Hi Sixfiend, sorry to ride on your thread but i just wanna save another new thread being created hence posting in yours. No offense ya.

Hi all, i was always thinking abouting quitting until i chance upon PV and from the rare reviews i seen so far in ECF, it all seems amazing and i have also join this community recently. I think the main issue is getting the kit for a start which we all know how tough or tricky it can be to pass through or "safety" net. I got advices from ppl in other forums like H_Z and i have seen senior bros replies that are not ideal which cause a panic in me as i followed his instruction to place the order.

still, i breathe a sigh of relieved as my shipment went through and is currently pending for delivery. If ya the bro that show me the way and u happens to be a member here, i just wish to send my regards to you and the help and advice provided.

Guys, i will be using a Joy ego-T type A. Any of you that are using it now got any comments or tips & tricks to share with me?

Thanks alot in advance!!

 

[sixfiend]

its not an issue, i guess all newbies from around the region can use this thread for their newbie needs.

the ego-T is a decent start i guess. unfortunate i won't be able to help you there. i jumped straight to a diy vv box mod and a LT LOL. perhaps some experienced ego users can give him some tips about emergency leakage procedures and what nots.

i made sure i had plenty of tissue around when i was filling and after filling.... ok....that sounded weird.

 

[Yunn85]

Yeah like you had a date with your girlfriend, Handgelena Jolie. LOL!

Should have seen it cumming!

no flooding bro

Did you check your connectors between the atty and the battery? If flooded may cause the abovementioned scenario too.
