Has anyone happened to test a Blu E-Cig cartomizer to see what OHM they are sending out with their product? i dont use my blu e-cig it never worked for me and didnt get me off of analogs, but after learning about OHM's and voltages and all that over the last month of being analog free i started wondering if maybe the main problem other than power output and battery life, might have been that the OHM rating on the carto's was to high for the power the battery puts out. Mainly wondering because i still have a bunch of blu carts laying around from when i was given the blu e-cig. if anyone knows the OHM rating of them please let me know.

I don't know what the resistance is on a Blu carto, but if you're thinking about trying to use a low resistance carto in the quest for a better vape, don't.
It's a crappy e-cig. That explains it's failures. Write it off as a learning experience and file it in the round filing cabinet out in the alley. If you want to salvage the juice, look up the "taryn spin" on Youtube.

Well mainly i was wondering since its a 510 connection, the carto's would just fit right onto my ego, but if the resistance on them is really low i would not want to throw them onto the ego and blow out my battery (not that i dont have tons of e-juice and plenty of empty cartos, just wondered the resistance of them for educational purposes. Ill probably just check it myself when my Provari finally gets here, waiting for them to ship it is complete hell, ordered the 24th and even knowing there is a 10-15 day lead time i still can't stop checking the status.
Hi Mark.
Another limitation with the cigarette look-alike models is not being able to use LR cartos on them. They would drain the battery even faster and probably damage them. I can't see a way that those cartos are lower than 2.5Ω.
Your eGo, being a much larger battery, would be in a much better position to handle LR cartos than the little BLU battery. Actually, the 1.7Ω cartos are quite popular for the eGo since the eGO is a lower voltage device.
All the best!

I haven't checked the Blu cartos, but my guess would be that they are 3.0-3.2ohm.
Like others said, slim ecigs can only use standard resistance attys/cartos, so the Blu cartos def wouldn't be LRs.

I just measured one of my old ones and it reads 3.0 ohms. I don't know if that's off because it still has some juice in it, but I measured a couple of my used Boge 2.0 s and they read 2.1 ohm so I don't think that's too far off. I have tried the BLU cartos on 510 (ego) batts and they work just fine - a bit warmer than with BLU batteries.
That sounds right and would have been my initial guess. Those tiny batteries are simply incapable of properly powering anything lower.
That would explain why i put a boge 2.0 on my blu e-cig battery (out of curiosity last night) and for the first time the Blu e-cig did not completely suck, and yes they worked, but im pretty sure it lowered battery life allot. not sure how low the battery was to begin with though.
Yeah, i actually have a 1.7 ohm Ego Cone cartomizer for my ego, it really works well. Waiting for my provari because i want the VV really badly and figured why skip the buying tons of mods part that allot of people seem to have done and just get one of the top end one which in the long run should save money.
Just keep the blu as a back. If your main e cigg craps out at leasst you'll have on the meam time
My Ego batteries are becoming my "backup" i have a provari ordered from Saturday the 24th that hasnt shipped yet
congrats on the provari, I'm hopefully gonna buy one myself soon, for some reason i just can't get convince myself to leave my 3.7v ways behind.
I use both the premium and the premium 100 blu cartos on my ego 3.7v 900 mah passthrough they work great, I wash and refill them. Lately I have been using some espresso coffee juice in the vivid vanilla cartos when I can tell they are getting low, I top them off with coffee, mmmm very tasty. The smaller blu cartos will hold about 20 drops of juice from dry, The cleaning kit I got from smoktek it is quicker and easier than boiling them for cleaning. If you get a shorty cone adapter for the ego it finishes and doesn't look goofy with the small carto on it
Honestly, thats the beauty behind the provari... you dont leave 3.7 volts behind at all, infact you get a true 3.7 volt no matter what the battery life is, and have the option to change your voltage. i use a really high nic level juice (usually 32-36 mg) and in the morning when i first wake up i find the TH is intense but later on in the day the TH is bassically not there at all and i miss it and start chain vaping like crazy. so ill probably have to adjust my voltage to keep the TH through out the entire day, thats one of the reasons i bought the provari, that and the provari should last bassically forever from what everyone is saying.
thats one heck of a difference, .5 ohms is alot when it comes to a carto's behavior/performance
I meter everything I get when I receive it (usually 2 pin holes in the mylar wrap) to make sure they are not DOA because I may not use them for months. I found the 0.5 ohm tolerance must be their 'standard' because most of them are in this range, although they seem to trend to the up limit rather than the lower limit. This is good (the + limit) because that is the safer of the two.
Yes, it makes a lot of difference. I can't believe that reviewers of cartos etc. don't meter what they are testing (unless they have a ProVari, of course. lol). It would mean a lot since the total variance could be 1 ohm and still be within limits.
I believe some manufacturers have tighter tolerances but I haven't bought and metered enough to say for sure. Has anyone else?
I have not metered anything yet... but when my provari gets here you can be completely sure everything i get is going to be metered, so far the only carto that i have not had a slightly diff experience with per each one out of the box is the Boge 2.0 cartos i think they are really 2.0 no matter which one you get. Even my Ego Dual Coil Carto's that came with my kit were each slightly different (although very close to the same performance) but once my provari gets here ill test the ohms out on everything i own. Should say if my provari ever gets here... 11 days since ordering, no shipping notice
The Blu Cartomizers seem pretty well stable ohm wise, tested the 5 i had sitting around, all came out to 3.1 ohms. Vision Stone 3 Tank came out to 1.7. my Boge 2.0 ohm cartos are all so far testing 2.3 ohm (only tested 2 boges so far)
