Lack of Knowledge - help please.

[cymru1943]

Hi.
I am intending to use ego manual 900 battery with smoketech (mini) DCT fitted with 1.5ohm dual xl cart.
Will it be OK to use ??.
I have very little knowledge of ohms to volts usage, hence my question.
Have viewed Youtube video shows, but still somewhat confused.
Any information you can give me will be greatly received.
Thank you.

that's pretty much my favorite setup. i do suggest extra carts and battery. easy to handle,good battery life, easy to fill. you'll love it.

Should work just fine

 

[elmattias]

should work great....although i really don't like the DCTs from smok too much anymore, as i have a love for citrus juice....have you bought the kit yet? i've recently begun recommending this one:

VZ eGo-Dual Coil Cartomizer Passthrough 1000mAh Starter Kit - Stainless - E Cig : Joye eGo & eGo-T | Boge Leo | Cartomizers | E-Liquid | Electronic Cigarettes | eGo Tank

which comes with two oversized MEGA cartos, a nice sleek hardshell carry case, and the batteries are passthrough, so you can vape them while charging at your computer/wall outlet.

Yea that should be a good setup but like the other poster said you will need backups extra cartos, extra batteries and plenty of juice.

Click the link in my signature and read up. By the time you finish you will have a black belt in vaping. Wax on, wax off. Paint the fence.

Welcome to ECF!

I agree with all of the above advice and may I add (in the event of a power outage) a portable battery charger for ego(s). Why, do you ask? I live in the midatlantic region and we are preparing for a massive weather event (hurricane Sandy) and they are predicting massive power outages to last for daysss.... I am prepared with household necessities... also I have four Volt X2s, that will be fully charged beforehand, plenty of clearos, carts and juices... but I DON'T have a portable charger FOR my X2s. Didn't even think about one until now.

If you, in the UK have many storms, be prepared and get this type of charger and if you don't have many longlasting power outages, you will have it just in case.

I use single xl 1.7 ohm coil cartos in the dct. if you have a prob w/dual coils try those in the ego.

here in new orleans....when the power goes out....we go out to our cars and charge the phone/vape gear....it really isn't going to be as bad as you think.

Personally...I think the 1.5 ohm run a bit hot and harsh. If I'm going LR, I prefer 1.7ohm. But everyone is different, right?

My every day all the time preference is 2ohm single coil. I march to a different drummer I guess.

Sounds like a nice set you you got cymru1943. The eGo set up you have runs around 3.4 volts...so the LR DC 1.5 should be fine with it. Happy vaping!

Hi.

That set should work out fine for you. As others before me have recommended, another battery (or even 2) and additional cartomizers are a must.

Be sure to view a YouTube video on how to prime the cartomizer with juice prior to assembling the tank. You can use either the "condom method" or drip liquid directly into the top of the cartomizer (taking care not to get liquid in the air hole; use a wooden toothpic in the hole to prevent liquid getting in it).

And be sure to assemble the end caps and tube before inserting the filled carto. Putting the top cap on after assembling a filled tank can cause inadvertant flooding of the cartomizer.

When ordering additional cartomizers, decide whether you need to also purchase a carto punch tool, or get the cartos pre-punched. For a beginner, I'd personally recommend getting pre-punched cartos.

I always recommend cartotankers new and experienced to get the tank tool from Big Daddy Vapors. It makes cartotanking so much easier and protects your tank's o-rings to boot.


_____

Should the vapor from your current carto appear to be harsh or too hot for you, you may prefer a cooler vape. You can acheive that by using a cartomizer of higher resistance of 2.0 ohm to 2.5 ohm (standard resistance). You may also want to try a single coil instead of the dual coil cartos.

If your interested, I get mine here: Single Coil XL Tank Cartomizer for the SmokTank XL

These already come with laser-drilled holes (1 or 2) and the resistance of your choice. I'm extremely happy with these. I get the same vapor and flavor with these as the dual coils, and they are much easier on battery life. The carts with holes already in them allow for consistancy, and takes another factor of human error with punching your own holes out of the equation, especially for someone new to tanking.

I LOVE the Slap Yo Mama tool!!!! It's unbelievable what a useful thing it is! And to think I went months using tanks without it! lol!!!

Thank you I certainly will take action on the clear precise advice given to me.

 

[cymru1943]

Brilliant, you have spent 1000`s of hours to compile the most precise informative vaper`s handbook.
A must read for all newbie`s like myself.
You have saved me hundred of ££££`s ($$$$$`s), by not buying and experimenting the wrong equipment and accessories.
Many thanks.
