Newbie with Second Question

[LadyLifesaver]

I started out with the 510 mega kit, couldn't get enough battery life. Bought an Ego system with the 650 battery and jjust recently added a 900 battery.

I got tired of filling the cartridges numerous times so I went with the 510 cartomizers and then the 510 mega cartomizers.

My question is what atomizers or cartomizers should I be using with the 650 and the 900 batteries?

It seems that I am always getting a burnt taste when I vape. I am really getting quite peeved about this!

Do the bigger batteries burn hotter and therefore require a different atomizer or cartomizer?

Thanks for all of your help with this!

Yes the bigger batteries run a bit hotter, some say 3.4v vs 3.2v for slim 510 (when freshly charged they are each a bit higher voltage than what I listed)

And if you bought an ego kit, it might have come with LR (low resistance) atomizers or cartomizers which run much hotter and can only be used on the 450mah+ batteries. But you don't have to use LR stuff on the big batteries. You can use standard resistance. I use Boge cartos (standard resistance) on 510, and on Riva 750mah (an Ego clone) the standard res carto just gives a somewhat warmer bigger hit.

If you are running cartos dry then yes, the fatter battery will have slightly more chance of singeing the stuffing. I don't run cartos dry. When the vapor seems a bit light or a bit dry or the carto seems to be abnormally warm, I add eliquid.

And I don't know if this would work for you, but what I do is vape the slim ones and bring the charged fat battery along with me. When i want some bigger hits, I use the Riva for a while. When i think I've had enough bigger drags I switch the standard res carto back to the slim battery. So my slim batteries last longer because I am not using them all the time, and if I run out of slim battery power then I have the fat one as a backup. When I get home there is a 510 mega waiting charged. So basically I vape the slim ones and use the Riva as a backup and booster.

get yourself a drip tip and drip. i feel the flavor and vapor is much better and you dont have to deal with the carts. although if you vape a lot when driving i would use the carts then.

I have a Tornado (eGo). I use a LR carto with a drip tip inserted instead of using the soft cap that comes with the cartos. I get great vapor and I like the warmth also.
I also use standard cartos on my slim batts with the soft cap. I am a heavy vaper and only have to redrip my cartos a couple times a day. I find that the cartos work much better for me than the carts.

If the cartos taste bunt you're vaping them dry. Once you do that, nothing to do but toss them.


Also, make sure they are filled completely when they're new. Let them sit a few hours, even a day before you use them.

What pg/vg ratio are you using?

I am using LR mega ( cylinder ) atomizers and mega cartridges. ( both type B )

It isn’t perfect... but it is very controllable... I do end up topping off my cartridges often, but the consistency of flavor and amount of vapor produced is quite nice. it does have a tendency to leak sometimes, like I said... nothing is perfect... but this setup is working for me.
