Hi all! I'm new to ECF and also the VMOD. I received mine in the mail a few days ago, and I'm loving it so far. I'm still getting the hang of it, and I'm still making my way through this massive thread (about 250 pages in). I ordered the "system" that comes with the batteries, charger, etc. It came with a 2.2 carto and a 2.0 atomizer. I have a couple of the 1.5 atomizer's coming in the mail, so I'm looking forward to trying those out. I had a couple of questions, and I apologize if they've been answered already in the thread.
For one -- welcome to ECF and the Vmod!
You don't have to read ALL the pages. If you look at the bottom of the page you will see some references to some of the more informative postings about this mod.
Cartomizer vs atomizer - I know the why's and how's on a normal e-cig (and prefer dripping on an atomizer normally), but I'm still a little unclear what the positives and negatives are to each with the VMOD. It almost seems like the silo cartomizer for the vmod is almost like an atomizer. To those who prefer one to other, why do you feel that way? So far, I feel like I'm having better luck with the cartomizer - with the atomizer, I seem to consistently get a burnt taste, like I'm not feeding it enough, but when I try to feed more frequently, I over-feed. I seem to get only 2 or 3 drags off the atty before I start getting a burnt taste. The cartomizer seems more forgiving.
I'll let others have a go at this one. The easy answer is that if one has been preferring atty's -- atty's are the way to go. Also, must add --- so cool you got a kit with both atty & carto. I had heard that was in the works but didn't know it had occurred.
High voltage batteries vs low resistance atty/carto - what's the difference between using a high voltage battery + higher resistance atomizer, compared to using normal voltage baterries + low resistance atomizer? It seems like they both affect the wattage of the device... Is it really six of one, half dozen of the other? Or is there a functional difference between say, a 5v + 2.8 ohm (about 8.9 watts) setup, compared to 3.7v + 1.5 ohm (about 9.1 watts). To those who enjoy high voltage on the vmod, why do you prefer to a low resistance set up?
Oh boy -- that's an OHM's law thing and ECF is loaded with data. Strongly suggest you start with the 3.7 batteries (normal voltage) and what came with your kit and also trying the 1.5 LR's if you like.
Scientifically, if the formula comes out with the same result, one would get the same result (wattage) and vape. Low Res takes more energy---so battery changes needed more frequently. That fits into the equation when dealing with the HV and VV discussions.
When using the atomizer, should I drip some liquid into it after long periods of inactivity (after sleeping for instance), or should I try to feed extra to make sure the atty isn't dry?
Finally, I've noticed while using the atomizer that a lot of times, when I start to get a burnt taste, I'll feed more juice and see some vapor come out of the drip tip - should I expect to see this, or is this a bad sign? I feel like it means I'm letting the atomizer get too dry, so when I feed more juice in, it instantly gets vaporized.
Anyway - sorry for the newbie questions! I'm really enjoying the vmod so far - I'm hoping once the 1.5 atty's come in I'll start to get a little more flavor out of it - so far I get more flavor using my Ego passthrough direct dripping on a 1.5 atomizer, but the vmod is so much more convenient.
'Nuff said.
