Thank you Sandscards, some of the 1.7 resurrector users were unintentionally confusing me, I was thinking they were trying to tell me that there was no use for a dual coil carto pushing two 3.0 ohm coils on a 3.7 volt PV. It's really a matter of preference, whether you want a warm vape with lots of TH, or a cooler vape with more vapor in a PG/VG mix like I am using, and also depending on the nature of the e-liquid as well. I don't think they were necessarily telling me there was no use for the dual coils on my 3.7 volt KGO, that is just what I was interpreting from the discussion, not necessarily what they were telling me as a hard set rule, just what I should do if I wanted an experience of the type they enjoyed, warm vapor and some TH. Actually I might like that, I just never pulled on my drip tips or mouth pieces the way I would experience my vape that way. It really comes down to experimenting and finding what works best for you in the end, others can't always tell you 100% of the time what is going to work best for you in every situation, or desired result. When I filled some of my other 1.7 ohm cartos, they did not get as hot as the first one or two, and the filler seemed to work better, so my first couple tries with the Smoktech 1.7 ohm single coils gave me a worse opinion of them than they deserved, and other juices tasted better in them, like the sweeter darker chocolate and raspberry truffle, than a light apple or watermelon fruit that I prefer with a cooler vape from a dual coil, or 2.8 ohm Visions clearomizer.
N Rustica, I have looked at those same Stardust Clearomizers you are talking about from gotvapes, but wasn't sure if their threading would fit over my KGO threading, since they were made for that special eGo cone shape. That Hoosiers mis-order deal really was a good incentive for me to try the Visions, since they were on sale for less than the light-up LEDs they usually carry. They look cool in the picture, but I wouldn't use them only for that feature, if I couldn't get good flavor and long life from them. I have heard people say they got as long as 4 weeks or longer from one Clearomizer, but the results really depended on the particular e-liquid used, and other factors I can't remember right off hand. I know some of the GotVapes Clearomizers in the YouTube videos allowed removing the glass tubes from the center post, which gave users good access to the wicks for cleaning them or fluffing them, and some people used them until they said their tube looked cloudy and dirty, but the juice and vapor still tasted good, as long as the wicks were wicking the e-liquid to the coil properly. I don't think the visions that I got at Hoosiers are remove-the-glass-tube-from-the-post friendly, but I don't know that 100%. I haven't seen any videos about fluffing the wicks on your Stardust eGo clearos either, so I don't know if they would be accessible for that sort of maintenance. I think e-liquids with dark food-coloring and lots of sugars gunk the wicks and coils faster than clear liquids, low on sugars and without food-coloring. Don't quote me on that though.
I made a big boo-boo tonight. I thought that maybe that plastic plug was sitting too close to the coil, and that's why turning the Clearomizer upside down was not totally getting rid of the burned taste as I was vaping faster than liquid could get to the little coil. The Clearomizer was about empty, so I pulled the rubber stopper up higher to where it was almost flush with where the mouth piece enters the glass tube, and then refilled it with e-liquid, all the way to the top. This was a bad idea, since the top had been raised to a higher point, I was actually over-filling the Clearomizer. After I put in the mouthpiece and tipped my KGO over to get liquid on the coil, I noticed that the air bubble at the top was getting larger, yet I hadn't vaped yet, how did that happen? I thought maybe it ran up the center tube into my mouth piece, so I blew on it to push it out of the mouth piece, in case that is where the missing liquid went. That is when I realized I had e-liquid dripping down the whole KGO, as it was coming out of the air vents at the battery connection. I had to clean the battery connection and battery stick, lower the plug some more inside the clearo, and make sure it wasn't flush against the mouth piece. Then when I took my first vape, I got a mouth full of several, several drops of juice. I madly licked a paper towel to get as much off as possible, I didn't want to get a Nicotine rush and feel my heart pounding. Some had traveled into the mouthpiece, at least it went that way because with the rubber stopper too high, it had no place else to go. So I wasted more e-liquid burning any liquid off in that tube to avoid another mouthful of e-liquid. My wicks are soaked to the core, so I don't know why the coil doesn't remain wet with e-liquid.
And why is it when a coil (in any accessory, atty, clearo, carto) is dry, it produces a mad amount of vapor, no matter how bitter tasting? Does VG stick to a dry coil better somehow? Is it the Vegetable Glycerin that produces the vapor, and the Propylene Glycol that delivers the nicotine and TH? I must be getting annoying with all my questions. I am reminded of that toddler who learns to ask "why?", and follows the big sibling around asking, "why?", "why?", "why?", to the point of being ignored, or left behind on a bicycle, or else locked out of their sibling's bedroom.
Live and learn. And as I saw elsewhere on this forum, YMMV.
