Can someone tell me what the ohm rating on those LR 808 mega cartos is? Are they 2.0? Lower? Higher? Thanks.
Btw, I'm starting to think that the quote in my signature might become a thing of the past... I've been mostly 6V-free for two and a half days... Hmmm.
Someone asked me recently if they could use the LR mega 808 on a 5 volt PT. I said I didn't think it was a good idea, but they wanted a mega, and incorrectly thought the 3 Ohm was out of stock. They ordered the 3 Ohm. Just curious though, would a 5V PT blow the LR 808 mega atty? I don't know it there is any kind of current limiting on the the V4L PT's.

Unless the PT is connected to a wall socket capable of producing the 2A+ an LR atty requires, the atty may not pop, but there is a good chance the USB port can fry because of an over current condition. USB ports although they deliver 5V only put out 0.5A some do put out 1A, but most only put out 0.5A. In layman's terms it is akin to asking someone to run up a steep incline.
I knew it wasn't a good idea! But, after I got a couple of new people interested, one of them apparently waited too long to order, although I had warned him to get them while they were still in stock! I told him they were fine for his 808's but I would not use them on a PT. Thanks, I know more details now.
Burnt cartos are really the only health hazard I worry about with vaping. Early on I screwed up, didn't realize a carto had gone dry, and hit that sucker long and hard twice. The taste of burnt plastic was actually in my lungs, and lasted for a full day, even waking me up that night. I take NO chances anymore. Even if it's a just filled carto, if I get any plastic taste at all, it goes right into the garbage.
That is another reason I love the megas. I know if I top it off a couple of times each day, it will never have a chance to run dry. (I usually rotate 3 cartos on 3 PV's during the day) I never want to repeat that experience.
If it's to any consolation, We built a 510 Mega just like the Mega 808 for 5V use. They need to be tested before anything though.
Yeah, I have to say that burnt carto experinece was so bad I almost stopped vaping. And now... thanks Isacc, I was well, a little juice on my tongue is better than a burnt carto... and this just after I topped off and flooded a couple! I'll get it right sooner or later! That burnt carto... man, like toxic waste. I mean it was really really bad. I brushed my teeth ten times, Listerine was no help, that stuff was in my lungs. Once I get over my post traumatic shock, I might learn not to flood cartos anymore!
I'm sittin here, can't go to bed, this Japan thing. The loss of life is going to be staggering. God have mercy on Japan. What devastaion.
Rock on Vlad! That's what I want to hear! Making you fulfilled with something we have is what was one of the primary focuses..Really. Whenever we spoke, you made it apparent that You were a challenge that needed to be executed without overkilling products. I mean who else seriously enjoys 11 watts!?!![]()
