Lava tube newbie question about double coil cartos

[Cvavison]

Just received my lava tube and have been seeing posts about not using double coil cartos. What is the difference between single and double coil carts? (other than the obvious)

I don't know why people are saying you can't use dual coil cartos on these, because I am! I'm using madvapes 2.0 dual coil cartos on my lavatube ! I'm able to run these from 4.5v-6.0v and they work great! they won't fire on any voltage lower than 4.0. At 4.0 they don't put out much vapor at all!

Lava tube has 2 amp IIRC cut off protection. They will fire and it will read the voltage on the screen that you set it to. However the mod pulls back the voltage to make it less then a 2 amp load. = in the 3's depending on the ohm of the coils

Grimm green didn't know why in this vid but it shows the protection at work ...

The irony is you don't need DCC's, LR, etc,etc with a VV mod. You have a VV, so use it to power what it was meant to power.

I agree. If you have the volts, then use them on std. resistance cartos and attys. Just makes sense.

The appeal of DCCs is that there's more surface area for the nicquid to contact, which produces more vapor. A 2ohm DCC has 4X the surface area of a single coil 2ohm carto.

Again, why would you want to use a 2ohm carto when you have VV to take advantage of.

6V with a 1.6ohm dcc...try it and you'll understand why. That's all I vape for the exception of a Boge on a 5V and even 5V is weak to me. What I really love in my Krescendo with 2 dcc's set at 6V (I have to use lower nic with that mod).

However, I did bet a LavaTube...poor craftsmanship compared to the ProVari. It's an okay mod...not bad...but I got what I paid for ($65). 10 second cutoff's suck. I guess I shouldn't compare a Corvette to a Chevette.

I have, it tasted like

LOL...that's what makes vaping interesting. One person's treasure is another person's vomit.

I don't care for DCC but that's just me you could use a 2.5 or 3 ohm dual coil with out any issues you could use 1.5ohms but it drops the voltage

I tried the DCC's in my LT and I did not really like them much. I went to 2.5 and 3.0 ohm single coil cartos and like those alot more. To each his own I suppose.

when you screw a dual coil cart into the lavetube it only fires at 3.7v. even when you set it to 6v it will only fire at 3.7v on a dual coil cart.
