Low Resistance 510/801/901 Atomizers

[Quick1]

Well... they are low resistance atomizers. Less than 2 ohms. That means that, at the same voltage, an atomizer will draw more current. More current means more heat.

For example let's take a regular Joye 510 atomizer at 2.2 ohms.
Your 3.7v battery charges to 4.2v and you might be getting 4v with it fresh.
2.2 ohms at 4v = ~1.8A or about 7.27 watts (heat)

Now let's take the same atomizer at 5v (using your altsmoke pt with a good power supply.
2.2 ohms at 5v = ~2.27A or about 11.36 watts -- yummy

Now we'll use a LR 510. Let's guess it's about 1.8 ohms
With your fresh 3.7v battery delivering 4v we have
1.8 ohms at 4v = ~2.2A and about 8.89 watts -- still acceptably yummy
So you've achieved a very nice vape with your (single) 3.7v battery.

Note: you can get 5v with a pass through. When you go to stacking batteries you're going to be getting over 6v which is a bit too much juice and too hot. (besides, the protected batteries will trip with a regular 510. You have to use a higher resistance atomizer.

No, you don't want to use your LR atomizer with anything higher than a 3.7v battery 'cause you'll probably burn it out in very short order.

So what's the big deal about the LR atomizers? You can get very close to a higher voltage vape using your plain ole protected 3.7v battery. Safe, easy to get, you already have them, no worries.

I've seen alot of attention being given to these LR attys and have ordered some from AltSmoke.

Can someone give me a link or direction to a simple straight forward source of info on these? Are they only to be used at voltages of 3.7? I quess what I really want is a FAQ on them.

Thanks.

Well, AFAIK there is no FAQ on them. The benefit of LR attys is that they approximate HV vaping but don't require the batterys to do it. If you haven't seen Ralph T's great chart see this: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/modders-forum/71422-atomizer-battery-watts-chart.html for an idea of what wattages are acheived by what atty/battery combo.

I've been using LR 510's for about a month. They hit on a 3.7v mod about like a 3.5 ohm 901 does at 5-6v. Great vapor and little risk of the awful, acrid, burnt taste you can get at HV.

If you're used to a regular 2.2 ohm 510 atty at 6v, no they won't hit like that. But they won't give you that nasty taste either. For me they're a perfect middle ground.

Same rules apply though - dripping is best, keep your atty wet, and you might want to shorten your button presses a bit.

Agreed lotus14 agreed exactly

I'm going to have to give these LR atty's another try.....

 

[SheerLuckHolmes]

I think you guys just created a FAQ for the LR atty in the last five posts.

Thanks so much, everyone!

Any chance we can get these snail mailed? I would like to try a couple but can't think of anything else I need to make the priority charge worth it.

We're actually going to be adding other shipping methods in the next 10 days But for Nooooowww...check your PM

check your PM

Awesome! 20 free LR atty's if I buy a drip tip??!! Sure thing man, I'm all over that offer!

 

[lotus14]

Can't wait to try these out and compare 'em to the one's I've got

One question though Rob. The 510s are listed as Yeti and the other ones DSE. Are the 510's also made by SLB? If not what 'brand' are they? I'd really like to keep straight which ones are which so I can settle on a favorite.

Thanks Rob. Got the LR attys today and the nice little bag.. Thanks man they are great@!

 

[USinchains]

Just wanted to say thanks for the break on shipping cost. These atty's are nice. Between these and some home-made 5v mods, I'm still getting used to differences in my flavors, but am too far hooked to go back to regular 510's on 3.7v.

 

[ImYourSalt]

will these 901 LR atomizers work with a MEGA KR808d-1 battery?

Well, I'm stoked - either I am getting into my "good" batch of attys, or I am getting better at this whole vaping deal - I think it's the latter It's getting to the point that I intuitively know when I need to add more juice, not too much and not too little. I have had several EXCELLENT vaping days here lately, and this is way different from my earlier experiences (popping attys left and right). The Altsmoke LR I am using now has lasted for several days of heavy vaping, and is still going strong!
