KR808-D1 Cartomizer Resistances

[MsOceanCity]

I have heard good things about them too and as far as I can tell they are a good company. I haven't used them. I like the vape I get from CE2s and have enough to last a while. Not that I am recommending them unless you know what you are getting into. I do have problem with the site not listing the resistance or any other information. So it's not likely I ever will try them.

When Bloogs work, they work well. That's the problem, though. Mainly with respect to the blank maxx fusion, it's hard to find a good one. The latest batch from the MF are supposed to be consistently 2.4-2.6ohms, but my experience was with the original batch, that had many cartos around 2.0ohms. They just burnt instantly. Until I see some positive feedback on the latest batch, I will hold off on trying these again.

It is according to where you order them from.
I have Boge HR & am not very happy with them.
CE2 types at 2.8-3.0. They work well but are hard to load.
Truman 3.3, but their meter, 3.0 by mine & they work great.
Last but not least, I still have a few old Smoke Tip cartos from my starter kit & they are around 2.4 to 2.6 & work great.

There you have it. BTW got the Trumans from vaporsetc.com & seem to be the best for the money.

Happy Vapin'

newb question: lower resistances = more power to the atomizer = more vape?

is that how it works?

It's all about the wattage (heat, power) generated by your PV. The formula is simple: the wattage = voltage squared divided by resistance. You need to find a nice balance between your battery's voltage and your atty's resistance. The "safe" range is considered to be somewhere between 3-6Watts.

That's their new coil style? On another forum they are raving about how well they perform.

Bloog cartos have a horizontal coil, as opposed to the vertical coil in standard kr808s. Like others have mentioned: when they work, they work fine. But many of them seem to develop a sudden burnt taste for no apparent reason. Leaford is trying to get to the bottom of the problem. If you want to know more, visit their subforum and read the thread about "burning taste."

How could the resistance be all over the place like that and still perform cosistantelay.?

It can't. I tested them and they run from 2.1Ω to 4.1Ω. They don't perform the same, of course. That's a manufacturing flaw that is being addressed. See their subforum for updates.

Standard KR's have no coil just a vertical length of resistance wire.

I tried the bloog carts, and wasn't real impressed with them at about 5v.

Willy, all cartomizers have a heating coil. Some, like most 4081s and SLB 510s have horizontal coil. Others, like Boge 510 and kr808 have vertical coil.

Nhaler Megas...
are High resistance boge's... same resistance and type as coolcarts from v4lWhen I test I get 3.1 - 3.4 ohms on these.

I bought a bunch of these in January. They work on my V4L 3.7V batts just fine. Since they have comparible ohms to V4L coolcarts, I thought I'd pop one on my new GLV2 5V because the coolcarts run out of juice too fast for me. Fail! Burnt taste on 2nd drag. I tried putting two rcr123 Tenergy 3.0V, 900mah batts in, instead of the normal 3.7V, 750mah AW's that Jay recommends, because I was told this will effectively lower the Voltage to around 3.5. That made it slightly better, but still tasted burnt. Quickly stuck that carto on a V4L batt and it tasted fine. I don't understand. Can someone enlighten me, please?

Sorry to bump such an old thread, but this thread title stands out and is very direct for someone looking for cartomizer resistances.

The Smokeless Image Cartos have ~2.7ohms resistance.

I spoke with someone from SI and they told me, "2.5, give or take." Did you get that 2.7 reading from the carto itself? Anyway, their cartos seem to hit the sweet spot on an 808.

newb question: lower resistances = more power to the atomizer = more vape?

is that how it works?

This does not make sense to me. I was taught that resistance = heat. The more resistance build up in a circuit the more heat. The higher the ohms the higher the resistance. This tells me that the higher ohm cart or fluxomizer the quicker it will heat up and more vapor.
Is this wrong?
I'm looking for the best ohm fluxomizer for my 3.7volt mod.

 

[Morandir835]

Mgreen (sir or Ms.?) more resistance equals less amperage, which translates to less wattage so less heat. We'll use a batt at 3.7v for the example-

3.7v with 2.2ohm carto= 1.68 amps of current, for 6.22 watts of power
3.7v with 3.3ohm carto= 1.12a of current for 4.14w of power

That 2w of extra power means more heat, which means higher th and vapor production potential.

Aside from myself, I noticed that there were a handful of others that have been frustrated by the majority of vendors not including the resistances of their cartomizers. Knowing the specific resistances would obviously help us in purchasing the one that fits our vaping style/needs the best. Some of the information is scattered in various threads here, and it's a bit tedious to find. So in hopes to consolidate all the information, I emailed the more popular ECF vendors and here are the responses that I received.

LiteCig Premium Carto: 3 ohms
LiteCig LR Carto: 2 ohms
V4L WOW Carto: 2 - 2.2 ohms
V4L Cool Carto: 3.3 - 3.5 ohms
Vapor Kings Carto: 2.8 - 3.0 ohms
LeCig Carto: 2.4 ohms
LeCig Mega-Carto: 2.3 ohms
BloogMaxx Carto: 3.0 - 3.2 ohms

I'm still awaiting responses from several other vendors, and I will add the info as the replies come in. If anyone knows the resistances of other cartos not listed, please post it. I hope this info helps.

You need to ask for their Voltages also:
The Volts and the Ohms will determine the Watts

I don't know Bloogs Volts,but wa reading earlier that the Volt was a regultaed 3.6 V,I've seen some that say something like 4.2.
If it's 3.6V and 3 Ohms that's 4.32 Watts 4.2V would be 5.88

 

[Morandir835]

The on load voltage for a gen 2 batt is in the 3.6v range Water 4 Fuel (sir or Ms.?), that means bloog, halo, volt, and the like. Wattage plays differently with horizontal coil cartos though. Anything more than 5.7w on them and most juices will scorch. Part of the reason why gen 2 batts are regulated to the 3.6v range.

I've been using LR cartos (Boge 2.0 ohm from SmokTek) on my GoGo batteries with an 808 adapter. Both my GoGo batteries died within a week or two of each other. Coincidence? I knew that the lower the resistance of the carto, the quicker the battery would drain, but since I was getting 2-1/2 days per charge on my GoGo batts, that wasn't an issue. I didn't suspect the cartos would kill the batteries, though!

I just ordered the Igo Crystal Vision kit with some regular Igo cartos to go with it. I'm not sure I even want to use the LR cartos on the Igo when I get it. I guess I'll use them up on older batteries I don't care about until the LR cartos are gone. From what I've read, the Igo with the Igo cartos is a pretty good setup. I'll just need to get some standard resistance, regular-sized cartos to use on it when I'm out, so I can keep it in my pocket. I'm sure the Igo with the Igo cartos on it will be too long.

Does anyone who knows more about this stuff than I do know if my suspicion about the LR cartos killing batteries is likely? I think I remember reading someone somewhere say that they only use LR cartos on batteries they don't care about. But I also think I remember that person, or someone else, saying that the issue is with resistance lower than 2 ohms. I've read so much by so many people in so many threads that I can't remember where I saw what!

There are probably well over a thousand posts concerning the effects of LR atties on eGo style batts. No real conclusions, no hard fast rules.

As they say YMMV.

Since I don't own an Ego, I don't read Ego threads. That's probably why I haven't seen them, LOL. I'm pretty sure that whatever thread I read it in was in this subsection of the forum.

Guess I'll go search the Ego subforum for LR. At any rate, I'm not going to be using the 2.0 ohm cartos on my new Igo when I get it.

Resistance does equal heat. But the more resistance you have, the less heat you have. It's about the coil creating heat. The more you let the current flow, the more you build up heat in the coil. But if you have more resistance, the current flows slower and creates less heat in the coil.



edit. WOW. I should never walk away to hit the head in the middle of a reply. A whole page before I posted it. lol

Also seems like anything below 2.4ohms gets burnt pretty fast as well on these horizontals.

Unless things have changed, I believe the iGo is unregulated and comes off the charger at 4.2v. I have a feeling you won't want to use 2.0 on these anyway.

I am currently using a Bloog MaxxFusion carto on my Provari V2. I am getting a reading of 2.8 ohms. Currently vaping at 4.2V
