BCman, have you used LR cartos with an ego battery?

Yup, from 1.5-3.0 ohm atty/cartos/ce2/etc.
Have i killed a battery, yup, several, some last a short time some last a long time but in the end the mosfet fails. Ive yet to have the actual battery fail.
From clones to genuine, from 650mAh to 1300mAh, at one given point they all fail, some just have better "luck" as to how long until they do.
I now dont waste my time with ego styles, Epower seems to be holding up with anything i throw on it...

Im aware others are still going strong after 6+ months to years but there are too many factors to take into account. And im also aware that alot of these ego designs have failed, majority after using LR cartos or attys(more so the attys).

I personally believe LR is hard on mosfets when you take the specs into account.
The mosfet chips are rated at 2 amps, when using a 3x volt ego sytle and running 2 or under ohms, can draw more then the 2 amp limit which stresses it. Majority of the failures out there imo are from attys that drop too low in resistance (1-1.4 ohm) and that is a super draw that fries the mosfet chips.
Worst thing is ppl kill the battery with a certain atty then go ahead and put the same atty on another battery and kill it instantly too...that sucks.
Digital multimeter ftw! Check it before ya wreck it.

Wise words there. Most of the attys and cartos are supposed to be within a .2 ohm range but china qc doesn't always catch what it should. The batch of ten 2.0 ohm attys that I just got had eight between 1.9 and 2.1 ohms, one at 2.3 ohms and one at 2.4 ohms.

@op: I just ran across a 5v box mod that I haven't seen before. I don't know anything about it, but here's a link in case you want to check it out. KVS Mods/Mod Parts

Just curious...

Interesting that you didn't C&P any posts in that thread from people that stated they did use LR cartos on ego batteries.

...If you are gona get the Epower I would get it at crystal clear vaping.
You'll get a FREE 5 pack of Ressurector cartos, a FREE 30ml juice of your choice and FREE shipping. It's about $25 of free stuff.
Put in "ecf5off" and youllget 5% off the order.

Hmmmmm...sounded like a good deal, but CCV is "OUT OF STOCK" atm.

I would give them a call tomorrow. I know they were getting them in soon. They might have already and just not updated the website yet.

There are other vendors that have a good deal on the E-Power also. Hoosier Cig Supply and SmokTek have pretty good deals. Their actually cheaper than the CCV price, but once you add in all the extras I like the CCV deal better.

Goodluck with it!

That could be. That happened to me with cartos once. He's very nice and I'm sure he'll get back to you if you email him. Or give him a call.
