So can you tell me what kind of battery I should get to run 1.5 and 3.0 ohm cartos? I'm not exactly happy with these batteries because it seems like they can't perform to what I anticipated. I just want a good battery or two (variable voltage preferable) that can perform very well and run low and higher ohm cartos and attys?
I was looking at the volcano inferno batteries, but I am not sure if they are what I want. I don't like the giant size of the lavatube, and the inferno batteries may not be what I want. What do you think?
Hi again Chino. The volcano batteries are not for you if you plan on running dual coil cartos. Those cartos are what you should consider changing. If you want to run a tank setup with a long carto there are many options for you that are not dual coil. On your eGo-V you should be running a single coil cartomizer, between 2-3 ohms. Most Vapers that I know enjoy the performance of flavor, vapor output and throat hit right around 8watts. As an example, if you wanted to vape at 8.3watts of power with a single 3ohm carto, you will need to supply 5volts to the cartomizer. This will draw 1.6667amperes of current from your battery. Now for that same 8.3watts PER COIL (your 1.5ohm dual coil carto is a pair of 3ohm coils wired parallel to achieve 1.5ohms total load)on your dual coil carto you will need to supply the same 5v BUT the amperage output required to run the 1.5 ohm carto goes up to 3.334amperes of draw. If your device can't supply this amperage output, then some part of the circuit suffers, be it the battery, reglator or just lack of output from inability to drive the load. If you must run a dual coil carto then you will want to change your device to one that can do so reliably(and safely). If you just want to run a vv setup, the right advice for me to give you is to change the type carto used on your device.
The volcano inferno batteries are a regular battery, non adjustable. I believe the kit thay have with the 1.5ohm carto tank is a single 1.5ohm carto. Actually you have the closest thing that I personally can think of in the mid size(eGo class) battery that may be able to do ok with that carto choice. Your unit has a known ampere limit of about 2.5(some say3) ampere limit. This amperage limit will allow you to run a single coil carto between 2-2.5 ohms all the way up to 6v(which is approaching 18watts of output) which is way too hot for most anything I have ever wanted to vape all day. Your unit is very capable of giving you great performance, just not so capable of great with the DC carto you have chosen to top it with.
If you find that it is imperative that you run a 1.5 ohm dual coil carto setup to be satisfied, the only production PV that comes to mind with a high ampere limit is the Zmax(which is 4 I believe).That amperage limit of 4amperes would allow you to run a dual coil carto allthe way up to 6v(allowing up to a very warm 12watts per coil). I'm not too sure of anything else that goes that high on a production model APV. I am pretty much outside the production APV market so maybe somone else will be able to chime in on other options with same such or higher amp limits. If you are a handy person that can follow a shematic, solder a few pieces together, place it in an enclosure test and build, I could point you to the modders forum and you could build a unit with easy to get parts, with capabilities up to 10amperes of output, but it will be much larger than an eGo class device.
Enough of the math class. Go out and vaper your face off, with whatever you got that works well for you. Like I sid before If you have any other questions, just ask we will try to get you the info you are looking for.
