Now that I've got my first vv, I now can fully enjoy my new DCT's. But when it's down for recharge, I must use my 3.7 mod or some older (but still good) XL 380Mah batts. What I'm wondering, is what carts would you all recommend for the best full flavor and biggest vapor, at 3.7?

I love them. I get them from crystalclear also, but will try the others. I thought theirs were different somehow, but maybe not. They are loud devils though for better or worse. I've taken to referring to my Prodigy as my "crack a lacka" because of the sound they make.
Another thumbs up for Resurrectors. (Boring thread, eh? Everyone says the same thing...)
i use carto kanger 2ohm..work grate for a few days (2-4 days)
I'm a fan of the Kanger LR's also....just another option for ya. Their rated at 2.0ohm but work well on my Ego battery.
i personally prefer the 1.5 ohm dual coil cartos, other like the boge 2.0 single coil cartos as well.
my 1.5ohm dc cartos last me forever it seems, been using 5 in circulation (each used every day) for over a month with no problems.

So far, I am lovin' Smoketech 1.5 dcc's! Holy cow! Those plus the tank.....
Life is good...... I will definitely try their standard carts
yep also i use dualcoil carto 1.5 or 1.25 ohmi, and imist tank dual coil (with modding by my friend)
Rule of thumb , Higher OHMS on VV ( 2.5-3 ohms ) increases battery life,,, LR kills batts !
i've been using a tiny cheapo 3.7 custom box from smoktek.com for my 1.5DC's, works flawlessly, but not a VV device of course.
i think buzzkill means that 1.5dc drain batteries faster, i think the higher current gain does shorten their life span by say maybe 25%, but at 10 months of use versus 12, i don't really care.
And then, there's the unavoidable fact that some juices like 1.7 ohms and others taste best at 2.0 ohms. That's the ultimate reason for variable voltage vaping being so popular. You can find the sweet spot for the juice and atomizer combination you use. I find that 1.7 destroys the nuances of some of my juices, so I switch back to a 2.0 Boge for those.
I find 3.4v to be just about right for 1.7 ohm cartos. 3.7v is better at 2.0 ohms or higher ... just my preference.
On my cheapo vv box mod, it's been interesting to install a voltage display between the mod and the atty just to see what the sweet spot is. Then, I can use that information to return there for certain atomizer/juice combos. Of course, you can always crank back and forth and find it again by experimentation. My next mod will have a built in voltage display.

It's a fine question and you are getting good answers.
And, everyone should have a back up set up without a lot of bells and whistles, imo.
However --- you could just pick up some more batteries.

I use Boge 2.0 cartomizers on my Riva batteries. I have been curious about these, but the site says it's not recommended for my type of battery. Is that just the standard " Have a high enough MAH so LR doesn't burn out your batteries " warning , or something more?
Heyas Keeno,
How would you compare the kangers to boges of the same resistance? Been looking at trying the kangers, but haven't gotten around to putting together an order large enough to avoid shipping from anyplace that carries them. Would be very curious to hear your thoughts on the matter.

Not to put words in Mikes mouth, but I'm pretty sure he was saying lower resistance in general tends to go through battery charge faster than higher resistance at the same performance level. i.e. if you took 2 vv mods, put a 1.5Ω carto on one, and a 3Ω carto on the other, adjusted the voltage so the vape was exactly the same from either, the charge on the 3Ω would last longer than the charge on the 1.5Ω. Not sure why exactly, but there ya go.

I agree, on a VV 8watts @ 3 ohms would be the same (to the battery) as 8 watts on a 1.7. With DCC's, I tend to run higher watts. So my 2.0 DCC's drain the batteries faster the the 1.7 single coils I use, because i crank the power up higher with the DCC's...
