Stardust coils head ohms

[OreoMule]

How big of a difference is the vapor between the 1.8ohm, 2.4ohm, and the 2.8ohm? I'm looking to by a bunch of extra heads to have on stand by..

I'm also pretty new to this. After filling the stardust should I let it sit for awhile? One of my brand new ones just doesnt taste right. Kinda burnt. Thats why I'm springing for new heads

stardusts suck....if you want to vape a clearo get a vivi nova, if you feel they don't "taste" right then try a cartomizer instead.

The difference is based on voltage ... and it makes a pretty noticeable difference when it comes to flavor and vapor temperature. (it makes a difference in vapor production as well but not always as noticeable)

Once you fill up the 'dust ... give it a few twirls and prime it (suck into the mouth piece without vaping) and its ready to go. You'll notice a lack of vapor and taste the first couple of puffs as the wicking process begins.

What device or voltage are you using? In general, the lower the voltage ... the lower ohm you want.

They aren't all that bad. Some people swear by them. Also, it depends on brand. So many vendors label them different and it causes massive confusion. The REAL Vision Clearomizer v2 (some call it the CE5 or v3) is pretty nice and even uses the same atomizer heads as the Nova tank. The REAL Vision is the rebuildable one where the bottom unscrews. You'll notice the "V" etching on the bottom.

It's basically the SAME thing as the nova, only with a Type A ego atomizer shape.

I second the vivi nova. I use it with a 2.4 ohm head and a variable volt battery. I'm quite satisfied with that set up.

right....except made of crappier plastic and has a "skirt" so you can't use it with a number of devices without purchasing an additional 510>eGo adapter, lower capacity juice storage...and a tendancy to leak from all different types of scenarios.

I'm using the real one, bought it from gotvapes. I also got the Stealth kit with 2 350mah egos, and I also have the ego twist.

So it sounds like the nova is the forum fav? How long should the coils last before they need to be replaced?

From my understanding, the plastic is exactly the same as the clear tanks on the Nova. Can you provide a source? Been looking for one.

The adapter issue really isn't a deal breaker, and that's why I said "Type A atomizer shape". No different than someone buying a skirt for their ego to make the Nova look nice. If you're a non ego-thread device person you probably should have purchased an adapter already anywho. My guess is the OP actually HAS ego threads, since they're using a stardust.

Yes, it will hold about 0.4ml less than a mini nova (most commonly used on an ego). I actually have both and don't have problems with either. The Baughway disposables work really well too but they're completely disposable.

I do use my mini nova the most. But I have 3 types of clearos as well and haven't had any problems, not even cracking.

forum favorite perhaps, i still don't like them....you'll never get as much performance from a clearo as you would a carto....the nova got popular because of longevity though and it's ability to be rebuilt easily......a head can last indefinitely depending on if you rebuild or not, if you choose to rebuild the heads will last basically forever...if you replace them the heads can last you about a month...another advantage of the nova is the metal tank tubes you can buy for it, which will NOT crack, NOT leak, and NOT react with acidic juices such as citrus flavors or cinnamon....giving it the clear far and away superiority to the stardusts.

i would say though, that if you take the time to clean and care for a cartomizer, they can last as long or longer than a vivi nova head, and are cheaper than a nova head (cartos cost an average of about $1.50 each, and can be found cheaper, vivi nova heads cost an average of $2.50)....that being said, i've always held onto the statement that if you aren't looking into get into rebuildables, the nova is not for you...as the only way a cost savings occurs with it is if you rebuild the heads, which costs around 5 to 10 cents compared to replacing the head....

overall, if you don't like the way that clearos have performed for you thus far, a nova probably won't work for you either....i always encourage new members to try all three of the primary juice delivery systems when starting out to see what works best for them: a clearomizer, a drip atomizer, and a cartomizer.

Having some spare cartos laying around never hurts for sure ....

Something people over look is that some juices simply produce better results in different devices. Sorta like a stock portfolio ... diversify!

You can essentially see the difference by adjusting the Voltage on your twist. Lowering the resistance will increase the wattage on the coil, increasing heat. Adjusting the voltage of your Twist will accomplish the same thing, just different means.

Getting a resistance higher or lower than standard will change the wattage range you can achieve.

For my vaping with the Twist, I find 2.8 - 3 ohm provides a good range. I've also read that low resistance can cause minor harm to batteries but I've not noticed this, nor am I entirely sure what kind of harm.

i had a stardust once, i filed it away into #13....but i noticed the walls of the plastic itself were thinner than that of the nova...in addition the metal tank tubes of the nova make the plastic issue a moot point...

as far as capacity, yes, .4ml on the mini, if you go with the larger though you get 3.5ml....a significant amount more.

as far as the disposables: at that point, why not just use a carto?

on atomizer cones: most people have them, i have four myself, one for larger diameter tanks, one shorty cone, and two flush cones, one in SS and one in chrome, simply because of the superiority of systems that don't have a built in skirt...plus the shorty cone makes an eGo with naked cartomizers actually look decent

 

[tc1]

If you clean the disposables before every refill they last awhile. Main reason for using them over a carto is that they're easier to clean and none of my flavors will get the filler taste. (though that hasn't been a huge problem for me personally). Cleaning cartos however has always been a hit and miss for me, no matter what method I use.

Basically it comes down to ease of use for me. I use my disposables for sample and extra sweet juices. Mini Nova being my main vape.

and i rest my case. glad to be of assistance.

You do realize all this comes down to personal preference and experiences right? There is no right answer ...
I'm sensing a little bit of sarcasm/attitude in posts like this. (forgive me if I'm wrong)

Telling people the equipment they prefer is junk is a tad bit over the top and doesn't really answer the OP's question. Just saying ... "to each their own" and all that jazz.

i realize that i can be abrasive, but i'm not "having an attitude"...you just don't approve of my behavior. however the sarcasm is totally spot on, i used that.

i have openly admitted that i did not care for a clearomizer, however, i also stated the best of them and that they should diversify and try all of the delivery systems to see what works for them...perhaps i didn't exactly answer the question, but i did speak to what i felt they should know considering the previous personal experience with that type of juice delivery by the OP....

quite frankly, if you hate a clearo's performance the first time, the nova is the last chance as it's really the only one that seems to perform anywhere close to consistent, if you still can't stand the nova at that point, it's time to try other systems.

 

[tc1]

Fair enough.

And I agree. If the Nova doesn't do it for you .... there's really nothing better out there in the way of wick tanks. Time to try something else in such a case.

Thanks for all the advice everyone.
