Regulator that's dual-coil friendly?

[Dougiestyle]

So, all the regulators that I have seen so far have thermal shut-down for safety, but they read the 1.6ohm duals as a short and lock-out. Can someone link me to a VV or 5v regulator that will go with the dual coil cartos please?

The evercool chip could handle it no problem. Dual coil 1.6 ohm atomizer is going to need at least a 6 amp regulator @ 5 volts. The evercool is a 10 amp regulator.

The Okami OKR-T/6 is 6 amps and just might handle it, but to be safe the OKR-T/10 is 10 amps and should handle it fine for just a couple of bucks more.

Figured that wrong, Those are dual 3.2 ohm coils that give you a total resistance of 1.6 ohms. So @ 5 Volts it would need 3.2 amps. so a 4 amp regulator should do the trick although i would overkill it and go with the switching 6 amp reg if it was me.

So, I buiilt a VV using MV's VVkit. The highest I can get the voltage for the DCs is 3.99V (unloaded reading at the connector) before it shuts down.

I also bought a 5V/5a reg and will be trying that in a "lil sis"-type lighter mod with the dual coils, according to the info y'all provided...

The OKR works great with 1.25 ohm dual coils. I haven't checked the loaded voltage on it but it gets hot enough to burn the juice if you dial it all the way up.

drew my diagram all wrong so just removed whole thing

I've built a couple of the MV's 5v mods and they both work with the DC's. Using one right now.......

Thanks for the link. I went ahead and ordered the 10A with the other stuff. I have switches on hand that I intend on using, but this mod looks promising.

Robert T, I also have a 5v/5a reg from MV, so I'll be doing something with that, as well.

Thanks for the helpful responses.

Evidently the amount of juice you have in the DC effects resistance, mine was getting a little low today and it started shutting down. Put about 20 drops in and it went back to working right, when it was low I had to turn it off and back on for one hit and do it again for the next hit until I filled it up, weird...........

Breaktru say's on his site that the 4050C booster mod using an 18650 batt will push a DC carto.

What where you vaping it on? The only device that gave me problems was an 808 auto. And yes, you should not use them on this battery =] That was a 1.25 the 1.5 actually worked on it.
