My 3.7 Volt Mod hits Too Hard ...?

[h20doctor]

I built a custom mod .. see my pics folder on my profile... I am running a 18650 3.7 volt Ultrafire batter 3000Ma ... the atty i am using is Here DSE-510 High-Voltage Atomizers [DSE-510HV] - $4.99 : ValueVapor.com, Discount Electronic Cigarettes and e-Liquid

I measured the Voltage at the 510 connection disk.. its 4.1 volts
when i hit the button to vape you can hear the thing Fry , and If i hold the button down on my mod for my that 2 seconds i get a mouth full of Nasty Burned atty grossness... Blaaaaaahhh , its just cooking the atty .. I look at the element and its bright orange like a fire burning down below..
so what do you think is going on ? Bad atty ? or Miss labeled atty from Vendor? what other high volt atty's should I try or buy for this 510 mod?

Sounds like you have more like an LR Atty than an HV, what markings if any are on the bottom center pin of this Atty ? does it say LR ? did you put an ohm meter on this Atty to check it ?

 

[mwa102464]

Also are you putting enough juice in this Atty ripping' or trying to use the cart ? and also why would you use a 4.5ohm Atty @ 3.7V if it where truly a 4.5ohm Atty @ 3.7v you would hardly get any vapor I think, something is flat wrong, get your volt meter and check your Mod then your Atty, this should tell you whats up !

Use a multimeter and check the ohms of that atty. I'll bet it is mislabeled by a long shot from the sounds of it. If you don't have a multimeter, try any used atty you've got that you know is working and see if that doesn't make a difference with your new mod. On my 3.7 volt box mods I usually run a 2.0-2.5 ohm atty, cartomizer, E2s, etc.

i ohm the atty... 1.8 ... says the volt meter ..

 

[h20doctor]

So at 3.7 volts to 4.2 volts... what atty should i be using and what vendor can i buy them from.. ? thank you... Also where is a good high volt atty for 5 to 6 volts Vaping ??

I don't do HV and stay with 3.7 volt systems. Remember, a fully charged battery will be around 4.2 volts so you have to account for this. I believe the eGO though is around 3.4 volts so this has to be taken into consideration should you have one. I also like to keep my wattage around 5.5-7.0 but you may like a bit more.
3.7 volt at 2.5 ohm = 5.476 watts
4.2 volt at 2.5 = 7.056 watts

As far as getting the HV attys I'd probably look here:
Welcome to IkenVape

For regular and LR attys look here:
Welcome to MadVapes LLC

There of course are others but these are the two I use and have had good luck with both.

Sounds like a bad atty or you aren't keeping it wet. Even at 1.8ohms and 4.2v it shouldn't be cooking the juice or glowing bright orange if it's wet after only 2 seconds. Try another atty.

Also...and this is a long shot. Check your battery voltage fresh off the charger. It might be overcharging and if it is don't use that battery.....toss it.

The problem was the atty.. I ordered 2.8 ohm atty's and now its all good.. I also got educated on the diff between low volt atty vs high volt atty.. Thanks for the Info everybody

just for some random info. I use hv attys on my 6v mods and if I put it on my 3.7v mods I get barely any vape. I can hold the button in for 10 sec and it will never glow. I use the lr attys on my 3.7 great vape, I think the best so far, as far as flavor goes. But, I am glad you resolved your issue, and got an atty to your liking!
