Dual Coil Test
Using the original cartomizer received with the Liquinator as a guide, I used a Dremel to cut the slots on a 1.6Ω SMOKtech dual coil cartomizer I received from
Clouds of Vapor. Here it is on the ProVari with my tools in the background:
It's about 1/4 - 1/2 inch longer than the regular cartomizer. The next picture shows the cartomizer in its OPEN position with one of the slots showing, and it looks pretty much exactly the same as the normal cartomizer.
The next picture validates what I already suspected. The longer length of the cartomizer means you can slide the tank up the cartomizer beyond the slots since it only stops at the drip tip. That's not to say you can't use it, but it doesn't 'automatically' stop at the best place. The good news is, even when I slid it past the slots, liquid did not come gushing out of the cartomizer. In fact, almost none did (the ring on the white paper is from my liquid bottle). I guess because the polyfill acts as a sponge.
If you have a ProVari, you know that it limits the amp draw, so I could only get the dual coil to fire up to 4.2v. That's as designed, so it's neither a fault of the PV or the cartomizer. Well, 4.2v on a LR dual coil is a lot of vapor. Not a ton of throat hit, but plenty o' vapor.
So I had to break out my
GGTS to test it at 6v (2xLiFePO4).
Holy Guacamole! I'm not a huge fan of dual coil cartomizers (yet), but there's plenty of TH and vapor to satisfy.
So there you have it. These work great on the supplied cartomizer as well as the longer, dual coil cartomizer. They work better with standard sized cartomizers because that's what they're designed to use. They 'click' into place, up or down. With the longer cartomizers, the Liquinator performs just fine, but you'll have to actually look at what you're doing or you can slide it too far.
Let me know if you have questions.
