What cartomizers fit a DCTank?

[Sad Society]

I bought a VV mod a few weeks ago and it came with a free tank and 1.5 DC cartomizer. I always stuck to dripping in atomizers so I thought 'why not?'

Well to my surprise the 1.5 dual coil atty's that I got with the tank ended up being awesome. Good TH all around.

The tank I got is from Smoketech and I ordered some more.

The Tank is a big one (fits 6ml of juice). But I think it's more like 5ml of juice.

So thinking along the terms of the Smoketech versions of cartomizers, is there any other cartomizers that will fit in the Smoketech tank?

And also what are the ohms of the carto's are you using in that tank?

Thanks and Happy vaping.

I use Smoketech 1.7 ohms in mine, and am very happy with them. If you can find another 510 XL carto with the same length, that should work fine as well.

In my experience, using dual coil cartos in a 3.3-3.7V device gave muted flavor -- obviously, not an issue with VV.

Thanks. I just ordered some 1.5 and some 2.5 dual coils, Smoketech brand.

Having stuck to dripping in atomizers for so long, I was kinda overwhelmed by the many different types of cartomizers out there in a Google search.

I've read read that Boge and Smoketech are good brands.

And then there are others that I've never tried...like the CE2's

So I'm wondering what other have in a good tank setup.

The 1.7 smoktech ressurector carto is a single coil, so they perform better on a 3.7.
The only other brand I've found that is long enough for the dct is the kanger XL which is also a single, horizontal coil design. I have some coming in today so I haven't tried them yet. I've been using boges in shorter tanks and they are so much better than smoktechs IMO. The single coils are also much better on battery life. With smoketech dual coils, I got right at a day with my battery. With boge single coils, I'm getting a good day and a half.

Just posted on another thread how to adapt a standard size carto to a DC tank with out having to cut the tank to to size... A straight long stainless drip tip inserted into the carto say a Boge will work as an adapter and drip tip in one... Just an FYI...

Ok, so I got the kangers in yesterday and tried them out. Absolutely terrible. That burned plastic taste overpowers the juice, I can't use them They are long enough to fit the DCT's, but the two I tried were just horrible. I did put them in tanks and the only time I was able to get rid of that taste was when I had the carto on the verge of being flooded. The bad thing about this is that if I pulled just a touch too much juice into the carto, it would leak out of the battery connector, all down the side of my mod. I'll be sticking with boges from now on. Fortunately, healthcabin has mentioned that boge is starting production on a XXL carto that is the same length as the smoketech DCT cartos.

Sorry to hear that the Kangers were terrible. Guess I'll just stick to Smoketech carto's for now.

I do like Scotay87's idea in post #5. Of using a standard size cartomizer in a tank with a long drip tip to make up the difference.

Only thing is...he didn't go into any detail on how to go about this.

You would have to punch a hole in that standard size carto for the juice to get in from the tank. And after looking around on the net. I couldn't find any long tube type drip tips that could fit a 510. Plus having an extra seal submerged in a tank full of juice (that being the cartomizer connected to the long drip tip) just seems like more room for error and juice leaking through the seal and flooding the cartomizer.

So that idea looks unpromising.

I agree, that isn't a route I would want to go. You know, if you want to use boges, there is an XL version that is a little longer than the standard size. Still not quite as long as the smoktech DC's, though. You can always get a pipe cutter for $10 from a hardware store and trim the tanks down just enough to fit the XL cartos. I'm seriously contemplating doing that, myself.

Ok, so I emailed myvaporstore.com (I bought the kangers from them) to let them know that I was getting a burned plastic taste. They asked me my battery type and the voltage I was vaping. I let them know that I was using an AW IC battery at 5 volts. This was the response I received:

That would explain the dry/burnt taste. Our cartomizers and atomizers are mostly standard resistance and meant for use with the 3.6v-4.2v devices sold on our website.

So, I guess that means you can't use these things with VV devices. Bummer, wish I'd known that before I ordered ten of them. If anyone is interested in trying these out, let me know, I have 8 of them to get rid of now

I will say that I am pleased that myvaporstore had such a quick response to my emails.

If you have a vv device, just drop the voltage

 

[andyman97]

If you have a vv device, just drop the voltage

I could but that defeats the purpose of having a VV device if I'm only going to vape between 3.7-4.2V. I prefer my AVE juices at 5 volts, they taste much better and give the perfect throat hit for me at that voltage. I'll just stick to boges. Already got another order of them on the way but thanks for the advice.

I always thought that standard resistance worked perfectly on VV devices. It gives you the ability to actually use the whole range of the device.

 

[Scotay87]

Where can I get one?? Thanks

Straight barrel drips that I have I got from Volcano... I learned the little trick watching Vaping Monkeys review on drip tips from Cig Techs.com...

Depending on the resistance of the coil, 3 ohms has worked fine on any other carto I have used up to 6 volts. Not sure why these are different, but they clearly are.

This...

Went to Lowe's and picked up a cheap tube cutter and a saddle valve for punching cartos. Now happily vaping on my standard size Boges. Tried it with the SmokeTec DCs that come with the tank and thought they were garbage.

Really?

What were the ohms of the Smoketech carto that came with the tank?

And the DCtank that you cut...was it the big (5ml) or small (3ml) one?

The Smoketech DC's I used were 1.5 ohms. I made the hole in the cart bigger with a simple pointed nail and a hammer. Which made the draw alot better. And allowed juice to get in the cart better.

Also I was was using it at around 5.6 volts.

I still like to play around and experiment, and I might try your way sometime.

Whats the ohms on those standard size Boge's?

And are they single coils?

Welcome to Clouds Of Vapor also have long metal drip tips


http://www.cloudsofvapor.com/store/...tainless-steel-regular-straight-drip-tip.html this one is $10.00 and is said to be 30mm long (approx 1.25in)

And they have a 10% off discount code as well---- bigbuyer

So it would be $9.00 plus shipping

 

[ChrispyCritter]

Thanks. I just ordered some 1.5 and some 2.5 dual coils, Smoketech brand.

Having stuck to dripping in atomizers for so long, I was kinda overwhelmed by the many different types of cartomizers out there in a Google search.

I've read read that Boge and Smoketech are good brands.

And then there are others that I've never tried...like the CE2's

So I'm wondering what other have in a good tank setup.

Metal CE2's should work without the vinyl tape or the SS ones. I got the 3.5ml SmokTech ones yesterday (got this Ego Dual Coil Cartomizer Tank Kit $45 with some discounts) and before using them I checked it the tube from a CE2 would fit and it did.

I plan on using CE2's in them in the future..I haven't tested them for leaks yet but I'm 99.99% sure they will work great..haven't decided if I'm going to grind down 2 big/small holes in the sides (maybe really big and long so I can see inside really good) of the CE2's or just cutoff the tube using it as a top/bottom piece yet though.

Who knows the clear ones may work also but I don't have any newer clear CE2's yet..might try with some of the older ones I have around to see though..if these tanks hold up I probably will buy a few of them..wish MadVapes carried just the tank without the cartomizers though.

Would also be nice if they sold CE2's with the metal stopper on the bottom of them so they won't slide through and will screw on easier..but because I have the cones for the tanks that will stop them and I think the top of the tube will stick out enough to screw them in easy enough. CE2's also would make the tanks really easy to fill

I cut the 5mL tank.

I've tried 1.25, 1.6 (standard with tank) and 3.0 ohm DCC. The issue I had wasn't with "feeding", but with the lack of flavor and vapor. Draw was fine.

Standard resistance Boge's are ~3.0 ohms and single coil.
