I've been reading a lot of threads about how LR atomizers and cartomizers are not recommended on regular 510 batteries, or anything under 650mAh. So I was wondering what would be the lowest Ω ohms cartomizer that would work on a 220mAh 510 battery? The draw on a standard 3Ω+ atty or cartomizer is too tight.

Thanks for any advice.

From my understanding it isn't really recommended to go below 2.8Ω on a battery less that 450mah. I personally have used 2.4 and have had no problems, but I've only done that when my Ego battery's weren't charged and it was temporary. I know that LR such as 1.5Ω is definitely not recommended for those battery's but I don't know if it will cause battery failure, or just do the obvious which is make the charge run out much much quicker.

I use 2Ω Cartos on my 280mah and 180man batteries all the time. It drains the battery quicker than a 3Ω , which means I have to charge more often. I guess the battery will not last as long as it would if I played it safe, but batts are disposable items anyhow. I've been doing this quite a while and all is well so far. Battery life is supposedly determined by the number of charge/discharge cycles they go through.
