Low Resistance Dual Coil carto's at 6 volts.

[BobbyB]

I recently ordered some LR Dual Coil cartos made by Smoktech and from the description it said that they can be used from 3.7v all the way up to 6v but I'm a little worried.

I ordered a 6v prodigy v3.1 and I've read that they can be bad about popping even normal resistance attie's and carto's since they run a little higher than 6v with fresh batteries.

Will this be a face melting, juice destroying combo or will it just pop my carto's?

Thanks.

Personally, I think it'll melt your lips off.

I have a VV Mod and I use the ST dcc's exclusively on it.

I do vary it sometimes, but not too terribly often, I have pretty much found my sweet spot on it for the most part, but I do experiment with juices and heat as well.

For me, even getting close to 5v is just blistering hot, I can't imagine anyone actually enjoying the experience of vaping one of those at 6v...maybe just me, but I'm usually at 4.2-ish and that's plenty hot enough for me with the dcc's.

I do. 6v is really the only voltage I enjoy the dual coils at. They didn't do anything for me at lower voltages. They take too long to heat up, and the draw is a bit stiffer. Use a drip tip, though, because the carto can get pretty hot if you hold the button in too long.

Same to me, most of the time 4.0 V. Sometimes, depending on the juice and my mood or stress, going up to 4.2 and very seldom to 4.5 V.

Then when the DC is getting older, also going slightly up the voltage. I have a 5V mod, but to hot for 1.6Ohm DC. Thats why I ordered some 2.5Ohm DC, which should workout like a 1.6 Ohm at 4.0 V.

So dont worry for the moment because of its capability to run at 6 volts, far to hot.

That must be a real powerhouse on 6V. Do you still get good taste, and do they last? Th must be tremendous too!

I believe ya, but at 4.2 on the VV, hits are rarely longer than 3-5 seconds and that's a roomful of fog.
I mean the second I hit the button it's delivering hot vape, it's immediate.

Now, with my 3.7v E-Power it was exactly like you describe, it took 2 looong tokes to get some serious heat crankin, but they're only pumping 3.2 or so under load I believe...

Maybe just different devices, but my VV does instant hot vape at 4.2.
It ain't no slouch at 4.0 either really...

Drip tips will save your lips from the heat of any carto

2x3Ohm coils wired parallel = 1.5ohm. It is literally powering two 3ohm coils at 6V each, but the reduced resistance means it is drawing a lot more power from the battery. Like any 6V vaping, the coils can get hot fast if you let them get dry and having two coils means you'll be vaporizing almost twice as much liquid--so as long as you are very careful and use good quality PROTECTED high drain (6V at 1.5ohms draws 4A) batteries, dual coil cartos at 5-6V can be like using 2 HV mods at once --not really recommended for beginners, but if 10 Watts isn't enough vapor for you, maybe 20W will do the trick? It could work, but it is a little bit #hardcore. I don't think I could recommend 6V dual coil 1.5 ohm vaping to a beginner, but 2+ohm dual coil atomizers would be brilliant with high or variable voltage.

Taste - very acceptable. I get more flavor from dripping into my 306s/510s. But the flavor was on par with what I normally get from cartos.

Longevity - hard to say. I'm using a very thick VG, and it takes about 4 days before they're so clogged that they don't perform very well. I haven't popped one yet.

Throat hit - yes. it's tremendous at 6v with these.

I've tried the DCs at 6v and I thought they were OK. Definitely lots of warm vapor from that combination. I prefer them at 5v myself. They're a touch too cool at 3.7 and I haven't made a VV mod yet.

Experimenting is half the fun with a PV.

Thats also my experience, at 4 to 4.5 Volts when you hit the button vape is delivered inmediatly.

Maybee it depends on the Amps of the battery?

1.5ohms requires 2466mA to reach 3.7 volts. Unless you are using a high drain battery (as you would with a variable voltage mod), most batteries aren't rated to put out more than 2amps--which is only 3 volts at 1.5ohm.

Come to think of it, 1.5ohms at 2Amps = 6 watts. If your battery can't put out more than 2 amps, you aren't getting more than 6watts of power unless you have a "high drain" battery.

Thats what I thought, but didn,t know how to calculate the numbers. Thank you!

Well number one..the V3.1 is a muti Voltage device...not a 6V device. It van be vaped with 3.7V or 6V just get the batteries to enable both types of vaping. I currently use the smoktech dual coil carts on any of my 3.7 devices...and they are perfect. I would suggest a HR cart or atty for any vaping above 5 Volts...but I am advising that on things I have read here and videos on you tube...so I may not be 100% correct, but check it out.

I use the Smoketech dual coil carto's on my V3.1 @ 6volts and my REO Grand @ 6volts also.. The first day or 2 they are great, awesome throat hit and tons of vapor.. The drawbacks are decreased battery life from 12 hours to about 6 hours and the carto's last about 4 days max.. On the 4th day the draw is so tight I does not produce, I prefer the Boge's to the Smoketech dual coil

I have a dedicated PV/Dual Coil LR for menthol, it totally replicated the analog experience to me... At 7.4V.. Thats right.. 7.4

You have to be careful and make sure the juice is in there good or you can get a nasty streaming hot liquid popping out of the carto.. I always hit the button before I put the tip in my mouth to inhale.. Its an amazing thing tho.. Not an all day, just a few times a day when I need that super menthol analog sensation.

6V was one of the first things I tried when I got some dual coils this week. Just about took my face off. The VK ones I have hit right for me at about 4V for most juices I've tried so far. They work at 3.7V, but not very well. 5V was tolerable but really changed the flavor of the juice for me... dropped a lot of the flavor out of a couple of them.
