I recently purchased one of these, waiting for it come in the mail. I watched SnowDragon's video and read Morandir's findings. I'm no good at math and numbers, so I thought rather than burning up a bunch of stuff when it gets here I would just ask. I know this thing goes a little hot. Would a 2 ohm dual coil still run the risk of scorching juices? What ohm do you recommend if I want to use dual coil? I assume a standard 3.0 ohm single is safe? Just don't want to wind up with a bunch of stuff I can't use!

I believe the best suited Dual Coil Carto would be a 2.5 ohm to ensure safe use with all juices, optimum flavor, TH, and vapor production. You really want to stay around that 9w-11w range for a vaping sweet spot. The 5v OMG comes off the charger at 5.2-5.3v the runs down to 4.7v-4.8v before needing a recharge. That translates to 11.23w - 8.83w using a 2.5 Ohm Cartomizer a perfect match.

A 2.0 ohm is still a little on the hot side and would run into issues still with some juices. A 3.0 Ohm, would really start to defeat the entire purpose of using a Dual Coil set-up and would simply be too cool. Resellers, manufacturers, and most experienced vapors would only recommend a 3.0 Ohm Dual Coil for high voltage mods like 6v or 7v application.

That information is readily available...a known known so to speak.

V4L just released a single coil 3.0 ohm DVCT which is really meant specifically for Passthrough use to lower current enough to work safely with their wall adapter and standard USB ports. If for whatever reason you find a 2.5 Dual Coil is juice safe, but still too warm for you a 3.0 ohm Single Coil would be viable back-up alternative.
