Finally bought one of each: Clear DC 1.5, 1.25, 2.0, and a XXXL (3.5ml) from Hoosier ecig.

Using a 3.7 e-Power 18650 barebones from Hoosier ecig.

A DIY mix of mostly LorAnns English Toffee and a bit of Capella's Milk Chocolate Toffee with approx 60/40 PG/VG, 27~30mg Nic.

Only have tried the 1.5 and 1.25 so far...

1.5 lasted a week and then started getting clogged a bit. Vaped as much as felt safe then poured in a lot of VG and blew out a few times, hit a bit better. Next day or so clogged again and harder to hit-used a safety pin to gently clean out some dried up juice through the center hole-hit almost like new-few minutes later had to clean again and good again-unfortunately I left the cone off and put it in my pocket to eat dinner, after dinner sat on couch and about 20 minutes later pulled out the PV and i had broken the 1.5 clear at the base-tried to tape but did not work. Too bad because I wanted to see how long it could be kept going by cleaning the gunk out...

Right now I am using the 1.25 and I like it a lot too. Definitely a warmer hit!

I went and tried a 510 regular atty and can't believe that I found it satisfying compared to the dual coils! (in all honesty, it was a used atty)

Can't wait for the 5V switch to see what I have been missing all along!!!

I am finding the 1.25 with 3.7 AW IMR actually a bit too hot and changing the taste a bit too. Not for the first few hits, but once I get to making like a smoke stack, it gets a bit hot on the tongue. I bet the 2.0 and 1.5 are better for me with my current setup of juices... I do have a $30 shipment of juices coming from FA tomorrow that I get to play with and put to the test- though it will only be with regular atties until I get a good mix goin'...

Man, there are definitely some bad cartos going on. I ordered a 5-pack of these from Avidvaper, and they were awful. Every single one tasted terrible. I ended up wasting a ton of juice and tossed them all without taking more than 5 puffs of each.

The 1.25s from COV are pretty good though.
I don't know if this will help, but after filling completely let it set for 15 minutes or so and blow it out from the mouth piece into a tissue then give it a try. These are big carto's and hold more juice so it takes awhile to soak the coils.

The ones you linked are regular carto sized (same size as Boge). They are duals. I got 25 or so, and have had no problems.

Yeah, I got those and was upset. I was like e-mailing and complaining. Finally I tested one, and it read 1.5 ohm. So I thought maybe it is dual. So I took one apart. Two coils.

You might remember a hundred or so posts ago I wrote about a sale they had. I'll search the posts...

Ordered here once before.
Ecigsupply for all your e-cig needs has 10% off with "summerdaze" at checkout. They carry overpriced liquid and Joye kits, but have dual coil cartomizers for $1.39 each. (That is $6.95 a box). Keep it under $30 and shipping is only $2.50. So 20 duals (4 boxes) for $30.30 shipped.

Different vendor, same cartos I think.

Got some 2.0 ohm SS DCs today from a friend, they work fantastic on the provari! 5.3 volts is highest I can take these without amp protection raping me.

What is the exact benefit of going with 5V instead of 3.7? Is it shorter hitting time? Doesn't it offer more chance of frying the eJuice?

I am using the 1.25ohm and 1.5ohm clear DC's with an AW IMR 18650 (1600 mah) and I get all the hit I need! Only drawback is that the batteries don't last as long as I want them to between changes. Wouldn't 2 AW IMR 18350's at 700mah last an even shorter time - Or do they last longer since there is a shorter hit time?

Thanks!

If you are happy with your hit, try using 3000 mAh batteries. They will give you the same hit, but longer bat life.

Going up to 5-6 volts is for 2+ ohm.
