Smok Dual Coil never wears out

[LadyG]

I've been using the smok Dual coils for about a month now and absolutely love them. I basically keep rotating four of them on my eGo batts. I just fill up four of them every morning and switch them out when they get dry.

I'm wondering when these things should be retired. They just keep going and going!

The ego mega dual coils or the smaller ones? EMDCCs are known to last longer than most other cartos on the market. You can definitely get 2 - 3 weeks on just one EMDCC.

I've had the same luck with mine! I use stainless xl 510's and they just won't quit. My first one, started about August 10, is still going strong. I used it exclusively during the day until last week, when I started a new one to rotate, since I figured it must be close to shot. I mixed them up and could't really tell the difference in flavor, draw or vapor. I do use a pretty clear juice, 80/20 pg/vg, and I'm sure with thicker vg juices or dark juices it would bog down earlier.

I think you've found the carto champ for long life and low maintenance. Great vaping on the cheap!

I vape 5-6ml/day with +80%VG. Mine won't burn out before th syzurp gunks em up. I pitch em when the draw gets tight or flavor falls off. Congrats on your success with em!

I use pretty clear juice also. Usually raspberry, peach or apricot mixed with clear menthol flavors. It's 50/50 pg/vg juice. The dual coil I'm using is from Madvapes, the eGo dual coil cartomizer with rubber tip. Plus, it gives great vapor and throat hit.

Yep. I've been rotating two EMDCCs for a month now. One is still going strong. The other wasn't right from the beginning. It only had one coil working when I got it. Still vaping it though, but it hits more like a standard Boge. I just use it until my juice gets good and soaked up on the other one.

My DCs last weeks to months.
I run em at 4.5-5.5 watts per coil; 9-11 watts total.
Run DC dry one time and they will burn.
I use the clear DC until tube cracks then I flip tube and keep on vaping.
The three DCs I'm using everyday are about 4 months old.
I've lost 2 so far; ran one dry after cleaning attempt and the other broke in pocket.

Go twice as long and see how they are. So far you really only have 1 week use on each since you rotated 4 over a month. I can get a week's use out of any of the cartos I use. I have 2 weeks on this Boge I am using right now (4 weeks using it 1/2 the time)

How much different are those to the standard eGo-T atty? I'm to new to vaping so I haven't tried much yet, just eGo-T regular A&B and LR A&B and a cartomizer i got for free, but I don't like that one much.

I'm rotating two and it has been a month, and both are still going strong (aside from the one that wasn't right from the start, but it hasn't dropped in performance compared to what it was to begin with.) I have also used one singly for over a month by itself, vaping nothing else. The EMDCCs are long lasting for sure! For me, equally as long (if not longer) than the Boges. After about a month, I have noticed the EMDCCs start hitting much weaker...kinda like a Boge. That's my cue to toss 'em!

I'm not saying Boges are bad...just not my cup o' tea. Some folks don't like the kick of the EMDCCs and prefer the smoothness of the Boge. But to me, the Boges are just...well...wimpy. But I guess that's why they make both.

Extremely different. Apples and oranges. The EMDCC gives massive TH, vapor and taste. The eGo T tanks and atty were very muted and far too "fiddly" for my liking.

Seems like I have to start ordering different variants so I can test them out and find out the difference.

Yep! It's really the only way to really know what works and doesn't work for you. We can tell you what we like, but you know what they say about opinions...

OP - could you link to the ones you are using? There are so many different dual coils now

 

[dpaulthomas]

Love my Smok dual coils too! I'm liking the clear -- only cause I don't overfill as much -- but love them, love them, love them!

I love them - my go-to vape now. I mostly use the metal SMOK EMDCC's with the flat tip, but have had a couple of the clear ones. I don't see how people are having any cracking issues with the clear EMDCCs. That's some thick, tough plastic. Getting bad ones? Sitting on them? Dropping them?

 

[ricksinvest]

have you guys had any luck cleaning the DC Carts? Sometimes I get sick of the flavor and want to go in a different direction. Does this impact the flavor?

Also, I burned a few of mine. Is it better to rotate a large number (like one poster who used four) and does this make them all last longer?

Thanks!

Yea, I don't get it either. I have been using a clear one for over a month now with no cracking issues at all. I've heard that cinnamon juicess will get 'em every time though. I'm not a cinnamon fan though.

I tried cleaning one...didn't work out so well. Now, as stated, when they start hitting weaker, I just toss 'em. At .30 cents per day, I figure that's good enough.

Rotating them only makes them seem as though they last longer. You're only putting in half the usage time. All total, they won't last longer...in theory of course. This month I'm ordering five and rotating two. I figure I'll buy 5 every month. If I go through two, I'll have quite a stash built up in no time.

I got my Smok Dual Coils at Madvapes here.
