Ohms/Voltages

[invididual]

I just ordered an Apollo VTube and was wondering what how the voltage/ohms affect different things, like what is the ideal Wattage to vape at, if 3.0 ohm is a good middle ground for the VT, or should i be using 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 etc?

basically the whole thing baffles me and was looking for some clarification lol

I would suggest 3ohm cartomizers/atomizers if you're only going to use it on your Lavatube because that resistance will give you the best range out of it. I use 2.5ohm's because I use them on eGo batteries also..I wouldn't suggest using much under 2.5ohm on a Lavatube because it would really limit the voltage range you could use them at. OHM's are a measure of the resistance the voltage must overcome to flow through something.

As for wattage/voltage setting it really depends on juices, the carto/atomizers and personal preference. You might try starting at 3.7v and if it tastes weak turn it up .1 at a time if it's strong down .1 at a time until you find your spot. You might do this with each different liquid you use because it can vary. I have one juice I like at 3.3v most others 3.7-4.2v in my 2.5ohm CE2's.

i had read somewhere that 3.0 gives the best possible range, and i ordered some 3.0 DCT Cartos to put in my tanks for it, so that would seem like a good choice then lol

If those are the dual coil ones you're better off using the single coil ones as the LT has a 2.5amp limit for safety reasons..I've read they are working on a higher amp version though..besides from my experience with them and reading others dual coils are more hype than anything.

Really it's just splitting it into 2 coils and if you get the same watts with a single coil it should produce the same vapor. I've found my 2.5ohm CE2's produced just as much vapor as my 1.6ohm dual coils that came with my tank kit I got a couple months ago.

With dual coils 3ohms means it has 2-6ohm coils because when you add 2 equal resistance things it halves the resistance..so a 1.5ohm DC would have 2-3ohm coils ect... I've heard people are happy with 3ohm dual coils on a LT though.

these are the carts i ordered, if i need something else, please point me in the right direction
510 Dual Coil Cartomizer with a Hole (for Dual coil tank)

 

[ChrispyCritter]

I would suggest trying those 1st before ordering anything else..it doesn't look like Apollo sells single coils for DCT's anyways and you probably could have single coils in 2-3 days if you didn't like the dual coil ones. I use CE2's in my DCTanks they don't have a flange and I slot them myself..you can buy single coil with holes and flange or buy single without and punch the holes yourself..the flange isn't really needed the tanks stay in place pretty good.

Sorry to tell ya but DC cartos don't work well on the Lavatubes, it sees it as something being wrong with the atty and limits itself to 3.7v. So if you plan on using the VV feature of your LT your in for sad times. If you want to use a big tank with it you can always get the Boge XL single coil cartos, or something similar. Best of luck.

I have an order in for some single coil 3.0 ohm tank cartos, should have them Monday or tues, worse comes to worst, ill just keep puffing on the ego-t til then

You really should check out VaporBeast They have all the Boge cartos you will need for that LT. Let me tell you they work awesome at any voltage on mine. Better yet he sells 5 packs of any of them for 7.22 shipped. I got mine in 2 days after my late night order.

 

[invididual]

ill definitely look into them, i keep reading about the Boges being great, but noone ever seems to have them in stock

Ya Bro, Tim is awesome, in the US, has fast free shipping and always has my Boge needs covered! Get the SR Boges they work the best with the LT. Or you can get 15 for 20$ shipped. Oh and he always gives out awesome freebies. I got in a larger order with him and he gave me an extra 280mah 510 auto batt. and 5 free Boge carts. He really is just a kick ... vendor. Best of luck bro!

 

[invididual]

thanks man, i think im getting into something a LOT bigger then the eGo-T, but im gonna like it, i love trying to figure .... out

 

[Tiesel]

Well its almost the next step up from an Ego.. The way I see it is its better to grow into something a little than be unhappy with it a week or so after the purchase. With a deals like that out there, there is no reason you shouldn't have an awesome vape. Having a VV mod just opens up a new world. I still use my 510 batts when I want a cig sized device, dont get me wrong I love em but there just isn't anything that can touch a VV.

 

[invididual]

i was thinking that when im out and about (not in the car or the house) ill probably still use my eGo rather than sucking on something that looks like a mini pipe bomb, but i guess we'll see what happens, maybe ill be totally in love with it and use it everywhere lol

 

[Tiesel]

Lol Ya, I still use the regular ol 510 autos and a Boge carto when I'm out in the world. I know what your talkin about with the pipe bomb thing!

Try carrying an LT in one had and a box mod in the other...people assume pipe bomb and detonator...sad, but true.

Back to the topic, I have found that the LT doesn't push the 3.0's hard enough for me, especially the dual coils, but the 2.5's in single and sual work really well depending on the juice and what you are used to. 2.5 e2's seem to give me the longest life, but they will get HOT if you dont tank them. I would suggest hitting madvapes and getting a variety (but I wouldn't drop below about 1.7 ohm...the tube wont really fire them well).

Ok, I'm confused. I've got a Vtube (Apollo's Lavatube) on order and I want to get a tank for it too. Can I get a DCT tank and use DC cartos (like 2.5-3ohm) on most voltages, or not? I've seen contradicting posts here saying DCs will only work around 3.7 voltage and not higher. I want to order a tank and cartos soon. I don't mind punching the cartos myself if needed, but I don't want to have to cut the tank to fit cartos. Please help clarify this for me. I don't wanna buy a bunch of stuff that I can't use with the LT.

Your problem is the internals of the LT, it has protections built in. If you run a LR atty 1.5ohm, it knows that if it runs at 6v it will wreck that thing so it limits itself to 3.7v. The same with a DC carto, it sees the DC as a fault with the coil so it limits itself to 3.7v. This is not unusual in protected mods. The best thing to run that I have found is a SC (single coil) SD (standard) 3.0ohm upper. the higher resistance (3.0ohm) atty will let you run the LT at full spectrum from 3-6v. Once again ill give props to Boge or SmokTech SR 3.0 carts. Need a kick ... US supplier? VaporBeast!!! $7.22 for a 5 pack Boge cartos (any kind) shipped.
Hope this helped explain what your LT does, best of luck!

Once again no. DC cartos will limit the LT's to 3.7v. If you want to run a tank mod, even a large one, get a S.C. XL Carto, like the XL Boges. You may have to "punch" or "drill" them yourself or you can find XL SC cartos pre punched that will work with the tanks. Hope this helped!

My question is whats the advantage to a 3ohm carto over a 2ohm on the LT. I know 3ohm will let you go to a higher voltage but it drops the watts more. 2ohm at 5 volts gives 12.5 watts. 3ohm carto at 6volts would give 12 watts and I'm not even sure if 3ohm would go to 6 volts I thought I saw a chart that the cuts off on 3ohm was 5.5 if that's true it's only pushing a bit over 10. So using this logic wouldn't it be better to run a 2ohm? Then again my logic my be off hoping someone will chime in on this.
