If I want to try LR attys where should I look? I just got an eGo usb and am loving it, and have read some nice things about LR and vapor. I was looking at electronicstix and they have 510 LOW RESISTANCE ATOMIZERS and BOGE HV 510 ATOMIZERS and I was wondering which of these I should try or should I get one of each?http://www.electronicstix.com/SPARE...IES-ATOMIZERS/BOGE-HV-510-ATOMIZERS-p294.html

The eGo passthru is only a passthru in the sense that it plugs into a usb port and charges the battery. When you vape it is using the battery as usual. So it's not 5v. LR 510 attys work great on it. You don't want to use HV attys on it. I get my LR 510 attys from www.ValueVapor.com - Deep Discount Electronic Cigarettes
They're inexpensive, and VV gives great service. No, I'n not affiliated with them in any way, I just like buying my stuff there.
Hope this helps.

I was needing a new supply of the LR cartos, so I went to the ValueVapor....but they are sold out.
They had a great price, hope they get more soon....

Try MyVaporStore.com they have lr cartos in clearance for 4.99 for a 5 pack. But they have the hard plastic tip.
ok, so if you do not use LR on a standard battery, and the sites I am looking at say you do not use LR on a 5v passthrough (I have one of those as well, not the ego passthrough) where and how do you use the LR attys?
yes on a 5v passthrough a standard atty will produce great vapor. I use a 3.5ohm atty @ 6v and 4.5ohm atty @ 7.4v
You don't use a low resistance atomizer on a 5 volt source, passthrough or otherwise, because the atomizer will "pop" in a hurry. Being low resistance, it has thinner wires that make up the heating coil and will allow too much current to flow. When your voltage goes up, your current flow goes up.
"standard battery" usually refers to the standard, low mAh batteries, like the standard 510 battery which is rated at about 180 mAh. A low resistance atty will drain the power from that batt in a short time. A higher mA batt should be used, something with a 450mAh rating or higher. Beyond that, the other issue is the amperage capacity of the switch. Although many people will tell you to NOT use them on an eGo because the switch is not designed for the ampersge load, many (including myself) use them on an eGo without (yet) any problems. In an ideal situation you would use them on a modified ecig, something purpose built with a large capacity battery and a high amperage switch. I use a Screwdriver MKII, and a 3.7v box mod. I also use them on my eGo's.

This topic has been coming up a lot recently, so here's a link with more information on the how's and why's of atomizers.
What are these HV and LR Attys?
What are these HV and LR Attys?
this may explain a few things lol the last time I ordered cartomizers, the ones I got look like the LR ones on the site (I ordered standard, but oh well) I kept getting a burned flavor out of the new carts on my 5v usb, now I think I know why
Just started using the bogue soft tip 2.0lr cartos on my EGO a week or so ago. so far so good. From my understanding the really low lr cartos (less than 2.0 ohm) overstress the batts and switch on the ego. As far as hurting the lognevity of the batts, I'm not so sure. In a sense of time/days before needing replacement I'm sure the batts will wear out faster with LR. This will be more because they use more power and have to be recharged more often than the batt being damaged by the lr atty/carto. A battery's life is generally determined more by the number of charge/discharge cycles than how fast it is charged/discharged. Therefore a batt that would normally last 3 months might last 2 months using LR attys; not because it kills the batt but rather because u are charging the battery more often.
I love the warmth of the LR cartos vapor. If I have to buy an extra battery every so often, so be it. Still cheaper and better for me than analogs.
