Need Tutorial

[vlee]

Okay, I've been vaping for 1.5 months and no analogs since I started! I started with a V2 cig cartomizer set up. Is this what is called an 808? Anyway my pass thru (usb cig?) crapped out on me 2 days ago and I picked up an eGo-t to get thru long weekend. I am considering stepping up to vv mod. I do not have a ton of cash right now so I am looking at the LAVATUBE from volcano to start. Would love the Provari but it is expensive. I think I need 510 stuff, which I believe refers to the thread types? I am not sure what to use on top of this as I do know that my cartos will not fit. So really here is my question:

What is a:

510 cartomizer tank?
Dual coil 510 carto?
Low resistance cartomizer?

Thanks and Happy New Year!

The cartomizer tank is a tank that fits outside of the catro and feeds it through a hole in the side of the carto.

A dual coil means it has well 2 coils in it instead of a single one like non dual coil.

Low resistance (LR) means you will get a hotter hit if you will. So say you want to use a cartomizer instead of the tank for the ego-t you could go with a boge 2.0 which is considered LR and a standard resistance is a boge 3.0. For example I use a 3.7 volt battery with a 1.7 LR carto and can tell you I get the same hit on 3.7 as I do with 5 volt do to the 1.7 LR carto.

Hey thanks! So then you still need to fill the carto more often? How much juice can the boge hold?

You will need to top off every so often just really depends on how much you vape. I keep about 4 cartomizers with me at all times with different flavors and nic strengths so I can switch in just seconds. To top off you will notice a change in the flavor at that time I add anywhere from 10-20 drops <--- 1.7LR not boge , I have noticed if I hit 2 more times without topping off my carto burns out. By changing flavors or having 2 cartos of the same flavor you can have a back up on you and switch when you taste the difference in flavor, they will last you a bit longer.

I think a boge can hold 1ml of juice or at least that is how much I put in my wife's.

Yrs a Provari is a good mod. If you want to try vv go with a vv box mod from Welcome to MadVapes LLC to see if its your gig. I myself would give a 18650 battery mod with a 510 cartomizer connection. You will find many more 510 carto options than a 808 one. good luck...and dont give up.

The Lavatube would not be a bad place to start with vv. Yes, the Provari is expensive but gets stellar reviews. As lithiumdaze pointed out, you can get an inexpensive box mod from Madvapes or a number of other places to see if vv is for you or not. Good luck and welcome to ECF!

Thanks for all the good info. This site is awesome full of good info. Does it feel a little clunky or awkward to use the box style? Do you use them in public? Reminds me of bygone eras and the ole one-hitters......
Do you get plenty of spectator questions when you are vaping in puplic?

LR does not necessarily mean hotter hit. LR single coil, yes. LR dual coil, from my experience gives a cooler but vapor dense hit.

Both situations can be desirable depending on the flavor you are running.

Get an eGo vv battery, you may find out that VV is not for you just like i did, and didn't spend heaps to find out.
