Question on Tanks

[carny92]

Hey all, new to forum, new to tanks, but not to vapeing. Been analog free for over a year now. Man do those analogs stink...lol

Anyhow, I have a 1.5 ohm tank from V4L. Was wondering if I should go to the 2.0 ohm tank? What is the difference in the 2. Well at least what will I notice. I am somewhat satisfied with the 1.5.

Thanks

What PV are you using and at what voltage? We can't recommend what ohm tank to go with if we don't know that.

Since you are not new to vaping, you should already know that a 1.5 ohm cartomizer will provide somewhat better vapor than a 2 ohm cartomizer on the same battery. The tank is no different. The only thing the tank will do for you is keep your carto moist for a longer period, so that you don't have to fill your carto as often.

Diamond Manual from V4l. Not sure the volts are on them. And when I say I am not new at vapeing I mean that I know the basics. I am still learning on volts and what nots. I know that a tank is a tank and cart is a cart sort of thing. Thanks for your help.

It appears to be a 3.7v battery. The 2 ohm carto in the tank will not heat up as much as the 1.5 ohm carto, and will provide a little less vapor and throat hit. However, it might also last just a little bit longer. Since you already have the tank with a 1.5 ohm carto, you may just want to buy a 2 ohm punched carto to replace the 1.5 ohm - both will work with your tank, and buying the carto only will cost less while you decide which suits your needs better.

Funny you said that, I was just over there fixing to buy some refil ones now that they are in stock. I figured I would get 2 of each that way I could see which one I did like more. But I did notice a better throat hit with that one compared just to a regular cart. Now would you suggest sticking with a Dual coil or going with a single coil?

And thanks again, not used to getting help like this in a forum....lol

As far as I know, all of the cartos that are flanged and prepunched for the type of tank that v4l sells are dual coil. I use dual coil in 3 of my 4 tanks, but I also use them on higher voltages most of the time. I have heard good things about both. Personally I prefer dual coil. I actually burned the wick on a single coil tank carto using my eGo 3.7v battery. Dual coil should last longer if you're a heavy vaper.

And you're very welcome!

I consider myself a very heavy vaper, but I imagine there are heavier than me. All V4L had was dual, but they just got some single in for the same price. They run in 2 and 3 ohms, that was the other reason why I was wondering. I do like the one that came with the tank, which I assume it is a 1.5 ohm. I can say the 2 I got now have lasted me about 3 weeks, with 1 boiling on 1 and 2 boiling on the other. The one I just boiled for the first time was so caked up and sticky I flooded the cart cause there was no air flow. But they both are still producing plenty of vape. The only reason why I am ordering is cause I use think dark juices most of the time and the carts don't last as long.

Personally I'd go with the 2 ohm single coil. Should provide some good vaping. I have 3 tanks similar to yours, only difference is the carto (mine are 510 threaded). I love them!

 

[carny92]

K, Might try 1 of each even in the singles and see which one I like the most than. Thanks again, look forward to chatting again some time. Take care and have a good one.

 

[Mud Stuffin]

Likewise! Good luck and happy vaping!

Going to a higher resistance carto without changing your battery will result in a cooler vape and less vapor production. Depending on the juice you may experience more , less or even different taste. Throat hit will probably also go down.

I got a 1.5ohm tank from mad vapes and got a spare 2ohm carto for it. When I used the 2, it sucked. MV sent a info card that suggests 1.5-1.7's for eGo (3.4V). The suggested voltage for 2ohm is 5V.

CANNOT emphasize this most. flavor changes with the resistance, i've had juice that I thought tasted horrible with low resistance, but taste great stock and vice versa.

I don't think anybody has stated the obvious yet, but there isn't a difference between a 1.5ohm tank and a 2.0 ohm tank. There isn't even such thing as a 1.5 ohm or 2.0 ohm tank. For cartomizers there are tanks for standard length cartomizers and dual coil (and xl length) cartomizers. A standard length 2.0 ohm cartomizer will fit in your current tank if your current cartomizer is standard length.

I hope this answers your question. I noticed everyone posting was just explaining the differences between 1.5 ohms and 2.0 ohms.

Rule of thumb on ohms...the lower the ohms, the hotter it burns. Not all slim batteries can handle the lower resistance..stresses the mosfet switch and can fry the battery. Not all juices taste good on super low ohms. I prefer to stay around 2ohm if I'm using a 3.7V'ish battery. The only carto that breaks the LR rule is the dual coil. They work best at high voltages.

No there isn't a difference except for the resistance. Tanks go by capacity...it's up to the user to decide the resistance of the carto used in it.
