Hello - I need some help understanding a few of the ratings for your 510 attys. I've been doing a lot of research trying to figure out what that "1.5, 2.5" LR & HR ratings mean, and which ones I should use. I'm just now figuring that out even though I've been vaping for over a year. :blush: During my hours and hours of research, I've read over and over that Ike's attys are the best. I cant wait to try them out BUT...I need help understanding the additional ratings that I've never come across before.
SR? XLR? And what the Cannon 510 attys are, and what the "V2" rating is? Are they just larger, do they last longer?

I'm using 2 ego/ego type batteries. Both 900mah, and one is a variable voltage, but it only goes up to 3.7 (meant to get 4.8)
Also - I much prefer dripping to using a cartomizer, it just tastes better and feels better than a carto. But in my research I came across Clearomizers, they sound like a great way to get the taste & feel of dripping without having to drip constantly. Are there any drippers out there that have used one of Ikenvapes clearomizers and could recommend one I should try?

Thanks in advance for any help & suggestions!
Emily

In your other post you said it was a waste of your time. If you put as much effort into odering as you do complaining you would have everything you want.

It was a waste of my time and I stand by that statement. I don't think it's completely out of line to be frustrated by the situation. I was working at the time and got to it within an hour. I don't feel your if then statement has much basis in reality.

Hi Emily,
I'm with you on preferring aties though a cartomizer in a tank is more convenient. I was friendly ridiculed at the last vape meet for still dripping :laugh: Let's break it down and remove the science. What you would need is a 1.8Ω model, 510 while retaining flavor offers more feel and needs 4-5 drops at a time. the io6 is more of a well balanced unit in terms of flavor and feel and is a conservative type. While it does not leak, only 3-4 drops should be used per session.

Here are ratings in simplicity with the minimum and maximum currents. When stressed with the max, the atties will not as long as long as low, max also increases the rate of liquid consumption and deteriation of the coil itself.

XLR 1.5Ω for 3.7-4.2V with batteries over 900 mah, you can get a way with it, but the battery life will not last as long as a 1.8Ω

LR 1.8Ω is for 3.4-4.5V I say 3.4 because it is operable and will not harm battery life.

SR 2.5Ω is for 3.7-5.0V, it will perform on 3.7v but will not be as is strong, though will last a great amount of time on it.

HR 3.5Ω is for 5-6V

Ego clearomizers, ce4 and ce5 are great little models though most have wicking issues. I have been working with 2 companies on a fix for this. in my humble opinion if your looking for a tank setup, a Platinum, 510 r 801 Fusion and a Fusion is the best all around. It's the most cost effective and genuine. Minimum 2 weeks per carto when using a reputable liquid. I discard mine after 2 weeks not for premature life cycle but because the liquid darkens in this amount of time. When that happens, that means the carto is spent and just burning even though it's still performing optimally.

I love Phil. I think he may have been comparing the Ikenvapes w/ the old "good Boges" which I never had the pleasure to try :(
Ignore his words or put the video on mute and watch the amount of vapor production 02:45 and 3:30. Obviously you are unable to tell the difference of feel but let your eyes do the work. It's a shame that his eyes cannot decipher the difference of metal compounds. At 7.52 you can clearly see the difference.
The difference in Ikenvape Fusions and the fakes are this.

:laugh: yes the beating heart of fusion man! and also Starting from April all IKV cartos will be engraved for authenticity. :D

Thank you for taking the time to explain all of that so well. Sounds like I should be using is the 1.8 Ω arts, regardless of the LR, HR ect. And it also sounds like I need to get some higher mah/voltage batteries sometime soon.
I just tried a ce4 from discountvapors, it was ok, but not as good as dripping still. It wicked fine, but just didn't fell like a strong enough hit or something... But that might have been due to the Ω it was (which I can't remember). So I think I'll try one of your fusions or Platinum 510. And for sure I'll be ordering some of the regular 510, 1.8Ω attys.

Thanks again soooooo much! :)

Speaking of catching up, I'm on the home stretch today!

You're very very welcome Emily!
Even though it's a shame your ego vv is on the fritz your not really in such a bad shape as you think you are. You don't really need a mod (even though the billet box looks stunning :laugh: ) I recently gave into a Provari v2 and I have been at 3.9-4.0V for the past weeks with both a 1.8 510 atomizer and an LR 510 Fusion cartomizer with a tank and never had to exceed the voltage. i did last week to test the viscosity of a certain liquid brand which ended up failing for a few hours though. My point is, our products are far different from the norm. You don't necessarily need to achieve highly strict wattage/voltage formulas for satisfaction. Our 510's will give you a very noticeable difference than others out there. With the latest installments, flavor output has heightened nicely.

With cartomizers, the resistance shouldn't match with an atomizer as the material is completely different. All of our cartomizers are safe on low batteries. All you need is LR. I want t keep it basic because cartomizers internal are fragile and are expected to loose performance in only a few weeks and let's face it, there's enough confusion with atomizers and everything else this vaping world has to offer. :D

The Platinum has a looser draw, The 510 Fusion has a medium and the 801 Fusion has the tightest. Feel (TH) is based on the draw. There are a few secrets with the 510 and 801 Fusion that makes it superior, however peoples preferences are still divided as for those who do prefer the looser draw that the Platinum gives.

Sorry for the long info. I haven't been on emails in the longest and I kind of miss it :laugh:
