Talk to me about Dual Coil Cartomizers

[Elphaba13]

I noticed them in the "what's new" part of the site.

What are they? Would they work on my eGo? Would I like them? What is the benefit over standard cartos?

Thanks everyone. Let the education start.

E, I have dual coils and have been using them for sometime now!! And it is almost all I use..... I personally Love them. They have a bit hotter and harder hit, great flavor and hold a good amount of jooce!!! And they will work on your eGo...best on larger batteries due to lower Resistance, can make life between charges a bit shorter. I have used them on 750 mAh batts with good results....but the bigger the battery the better IMO. So I use them on my Box Mod most of the time... I do still use my 750's at work during the day.. Hope this helps a bit.

Thanks SC. My batteries are 1000, and all my cartos are LR. Might give the dual coils a go then.

Thanks!

Well there ya go then, try a pack...bet ya like um.... they are easy to fill and for me, I can fill one and vape for 3 to 4 hours...guess that depends an awful lot on how heavy and often you vape.. but just as measure for you they easily hold 40 drops of juice...So you can do your own calcs from there....

Cuz ya know I ain't no good at cipherin.... lol

Been wondering about these myself and want to try em, but I can't find it. Went thru 60 pages of what's new too. You got alot there David, lol, was drooling the whole time and adding to my wish list.

TT (or maybe it's his wife) likes dual coil cartomizers. Where is he when we need him? TT - Where are you?

I have a few duals XL megas that I use on my vv mod. I just can't get into the feel of them without cranking them up to ~4.5 volts. All in all they are a great carto though.

Just about all I use is duel-coil cartos on my Phidias and Buzz. I use single coil cartos on everything else.

The Phidias uses 18650 batteries, 2600 mah, 3.7v.

The Buzz uses stacked 16340 batteries, 880mah, 3.6v

The eGo batteries are rated at 3.2v and the duel-coil will work on it and a lot of people use them. But this really isn't enough power for a 3.2 amp coil (each coil uses 1.6 amp) to get the full benefits of the duel coil carto. eGo does not recommend using duel coil cartos on them (from what I've read on the subject) but like I say, a lot of people do it. It will reduce the charging time as 2ndChance pointed out but it will also shorten the battery life.

I don't use the duel coils on regular 3.7V batteries either. Remember it's a DC and it needs more power to make it nearly as hot as a single coil. On just a plain 3.7V it will perform and may live for months without a problem but it will be weak. On a 3.2v battery (eGo) it will be even weaker.

Of course, all this is just my humble opinion, but I hope it helps.

Your absolutely right Paddrino. Good point. The duel coil cartos really sing on a variable voltage at 4.5. On my Buzz I run them anywhere between 4.5 and 5v.

On the Phidias with the larger, more powerful battery they do great. (the Phidias is not a variable voltage).

I bought a pack of 5 a while back, and on my 3.7 silver bullet they are OK, but it really left me wanting more. It always seemed that they just didn't get hot enough. I put them away and went back to my low resistance single coil cartos. After I got my buzz pro, I said 'let try this out', and WOW. They really sing at ~4.5 volts. I've been using 2 in rotation (one is always filled with Wyatt Earp ) and for the last 3 days I have used them almost exclusively when out and about.

 

[TexasT]

LOL, I was doing some exploring and guess what. They have just come out with a special duel coil just for the eGo's. This is something brand new - like today as far as I can tell.

triple coil cartos enroute to our store as we speak

 

[Paddrino]

Humm... I would expect that you would have to pump some serious voltage into triples to get them to heat up enough.... Probably something around the 5-5.5 volt arena....

 

[Elphaba13]

I think David has a gas powered generator in his office that he uses to power his PV. All those flavours won't test themselves!

 

[div]

more than like he does. But I believe triple coil is a no go with my riva, can we say ka-boom?! lol

 

[SecondChance]

LOL div, actually they would prolly work on your Riva...for a minute or two anyway!! Best leave these for the VV mods that can handle them better IMO.
