!!!Once you go 5V!!!

[ontheset]

Not really a new user but a new member here, I would like to ofer my opinion about nico-vaping.
Started with an ego-t and one night I was so bored i made a passthrough with a syringe and an old usb printer cable.
Plugged it in and wow. You got vape!

Since then the ego is not satisfying me. After that made a vv box mod (2 14500) with the TI IC and using that since.
Dont care when people (ever other vapers) look at me like im crazy walking around with the box.

I just cant go back to 3.7V.

Thanx for the attention.

Try 6v..vaping bliss. I wish I had the knowledge to build box mods. Where did you get the parts?

It's good that you've found what you like. Any pv that keeps you vaping is a good pv lol.

Might as well get the use out of your ego batteries though. Try some of the 1.7 ohm smok tech single coils (sometimes called the resurectors) or the 2.0 ohm boge on them.

Same for me - still use my 3.7v PV now and then but it isn't the same as my simple little 5v Box Mod. Course I have a VV box mod on my radar (some day) so I can try out some 6v vaping now and then.

Madvapes has box mod stuff.

does more power use up more liquid?

 

[theWayISshut]

No, I get enough vapors using my Ego with a 2ohm Boge cart. Thank you very much.

Welcome, ontheset. You're not crazy...you're a vaper. Good for you.

Yes, that's why you get more smoke, hit and flavor, Assuming your carto can wick fast enough to keep up.

I agree. After discovering higher voltage vaping 3.7v is obsolete. I think that is the very reson that many fail when attempting vaping to substitute for smoking.

Best of luck to you!

I would love to see pics of the mods and pass-through you built!

I have provari and still vape at 3.7 volts. What matters is not the voltage but the amount of power or watts going to the cart. I use 2.6-2.8 ohm Ce2's and gives me around 5 watts. If I wanted more power at the same voltage I could use a 1.7 Carto. That would give about 8 watts. If you want more than 8 watts then a higher voltage might be better.

Below is an ohm's law calculate if you want to play around and see different ohm volt combinations.

Thanks for the link to the calculator, handy!

Most cartos are of the LR/Dual coil varieties. At 5V with a 2.0 ohm, which is the most common, you get 12W? That's burning your juices unnecessarily. There's probably an advantage for VV if higher resistance carts are cheaper. They are not. So why not vape at 3.7V - 4.2V with a 2.0ohm? Some say higher resistance cartos last longer. This is where the confusion lies. I always thought that lower resistance means thicker wires or coils while higher resistance means thinner wires/coils. You can see this in light bulbs. It's so thin that current just barely flows and at the point of burning, thus produces light.

I must be the oddball then because i enjoy a 3.7v vape every bit as much as I enjoy my HV stuff.
Right now I am vaping off a tiny little 300mAh LIPO bat with a 2.5ohm carto sitting on it filled with a great tasting 555, and am enjoying the hell out of it.
I will often plug my 5v PT into a 1.5a usb hub just to bring it down to 4.5v for a different taste.

If I've learned one thing it's that just because I like vaping at one voltage, doesn't mean that I can't enjoy vaping at other voltages.

I like my VV unit. IMO sometimes 5v is just too much.

You would have to know wether they using thicker wire or shorter wire to lower the resistance. I know that with CE2's they use less coils so I don't think it would have much effect on how long the coil lasts.

At 12 watts or 2 watts you burn your juice if the coil dries out. As long as it is wet the coil will heat to around the boiling point of the liquid.

+1 for higher voltage. HV vaping ruined me for 3.7. Kinda wish I'd never tried it - I might have avoided this obsession that I have with everything vape related .

Hey and welcome to ECF! Way to go on the mod builds!

^^SAME^^

I wish i could find a vv box mod with led display the same size as my current 14500 box mod.... life would be perfect
