Higher ohm eGo-C atty head?

[TEKWRX]

Does anybody know if there is anywhere to get 2.8-3.0 or higher resistance eGo-C atomizer heads? I'm sure Joytech doesn't make them, so knock-offs would be ok. I really like using the eGo-C system and most of my devices use the tanks and atties (eGo, eCab, 510-C), but my Smoktech VMAX is just too strong for the 2.2ohm Joytech heads. Even at 3.0 volts it tastes burned.

If no one else makes high resistance heads, is it possible to re-coil them myself?

Any ideas?

Well the smoketech Vmax feels like it fires higher then most VV due to the pulse width modulation it uses. Your operating at a much higher base line voltage then say the Provari that only uses 1 battery. Its really ment to push high ohms to the limit. Its a very powerful device.

These Ego tank systems aren't really meant to be used on something like the Vmax. You will burn those poor little coils out. Its meant to run on an Ego battery so the ohms run lower. My suggestion is to use your ego tank on an ego and use higher ohm cartos/attys/tanks/clearomizers on your Vmax. The highest I have seen on ego-C heads are 2.5ohm.

If you like the the idea of a tank system, you might like new lines of Clearomizers that have hit the market. Easy to replace the heads, higher ohms and they fill just as easy. I wouldnt put anything on that Vmax before 2.8ohms, its a real beast.

Yeah, I know the VMAX hits harder then most. And I've tried most juice delivery methods (except rebuildibles), and the eGo-C is my favorite. Clean taste, good vapor, and real easy if you change flavors a lot like I do. I just don't like the taste of cartos.

I wanted it to work with my VMAX because I always have a bunch of cartridges with me when I'm out and about plus both the A and B type atomizer bases look really cool on the VMAX.

And the size of the coil on the eGo-C shouldn't matter. It's about the same size (or bigger) then the coil in the 306 atty that I run at 5 volts.

The Joyetech heads all run at 2.2ohms, even though the are advertised at 2.5, I just wish I could find some at 2.8 or higher. You'd think they would make them because of the success of the Twist. They even call it the "eGo-C Twist", but you can't take advantage of the higher volts with their system. :banghead:

I am new to most of this and I don't have any of the mod batteries other than a twist. I have recoiled several Ego C atty's because I couldn't get the flavor I got from my long wick tanks. I used single and dual coil setups with ohms ranging from 1.6 to around 3.0 so it can be done. I have been trying to find someone that is doing the same thing but I cant find any threads on here yet.

 

[TEKWRX]

Wow Fastkid, that's awesome! Can you post some more pics of the process, or at least tell us how you did it? I'd love to try something like that, but not sure how to get started. I do have some 36 gauge nichrome wire and some wick from avidvapor, I wonder if that would work?

Its not because it uses PWM, it's the programing of the algorithms that is out of whack on the Vmax, especially on the V1. They are up to V4 but who knows what one will get They adjusted the algorithms on the V2 forward. The V1 puts out 9.96V peak to peak with a secondary wave no one seems to be able to figure out. In general, it runs about 0.5-0.6V higher than selected, and the voltage increases are not linear. Hope this helps.

To the OP, you should be able to run a SR eGoC head at 3V without issues. I run my Penelope @ 3.7V with a 1.7Ohm coil, mind you it is a tank. I believe your problem may be wicking (juice viscosity) rather than atomizer resistance.

Higher voltages does not constitute a better vape. Properly matching the volateg with the atomizer resistance is what provides a sweet vape. Folks have become lazy with VV and VW, once upon a time you had to do the math in your head See chart below.

I thought it might be a viscosity issue (I DIY my own juice usually 50/50), so I made a small batch of 100% PG. Still burned on the VMAX. The same atty/cart can run over 4.4 volts on my Twist with no burning.

I guess it's not ment to be unless I can figure out how to re-coil one. Very frustrating

Sounds like you have a version one

 

[TEKWRX]

Nope, I have a V2 (reverts to 3 volts when batteries inserted) and a V3 (SS w/eGo top cap).

I'll experiment re-coiling a non-Joye head I have and see what happens...

I just realized that the Bulli A2T rebuildible atomizer uses eGo-C tanks. I think that might be my best option for the VMAX. Looks like I'll be placing an order from Germany once funds allow ;-)

I'd like more info on how you did that also.
They're so tiny & I'm all thumbs, so it may be outta my skill capabilities!

Sorry for the lag in my reply...Been stuck at work for the past few days. TEK have you tried the new imist2, it is very similar to the ego C setup but you can take them apart to clean the coils and re-wick them. I am going to order a few soon to see how hard they are to recoil and see if they are better than the ego C setup. Thanks for the interest in the recoil...didn't mean to hijack the thread. I plan to twist up a few by the weekend and take some good pictures... and yes they are very small. Trying to get it together so I can post in in the atty mod section...will let ya know. The one in the pic is a dual coil (34 awg nichrome 60) with one wick looped through both sides. No solder and it ohm's out around 1.6. Still trying different wick styles so it's just a few working prototypes now.

 

[TEKWRX]

Cool. Please do take pics, I'm sure it will be a big help to a lot of us. I did think about getting an iMist, but then I read some poor reviews and decided it wasn't worth it. Maybe I'll need to give it a second look.

I did just pick up a Chinese knock-off of the Bulli on the classifieds here, so I've got that to look forward to later in the week

Any update on the pics for the coil mod?

Hi TEKWRX, I see you bought a China knock-off, how do you like it?
I am also looking at the Bulli, since I also like the "c".
The German made one can be got from VaporCigzz.com
I have ordered things 3 times from Vaporcigzz, and had no problems.
