Why are you guys so stooked about dual coils and I am not?

2.0 ohm DC @ 6.0v = darn near perfection. 1.5 ohm DCs @ 5.0v = vaping heaven - Head and shoulders above all else. 1.25 ohm DC @ 3.7v = very acceptable performance and hands down so much better vapor production than a 2.0 ohm boge that they can't even be talked about in the same conversation.

No wicking problems at any voltage with any juice with any DC. I have settled in to a couple of juices I prefer. One is gorilla juice from AV and the other is applewood from BB. I also keep a couple of other BB juices loaded up and ready to go (vanilla and maple tobacco).

I have a couple of juices that will plug up a DC in less than 2 days that do not plug up the Boge. One of those is the very tasty caramel tobacco from madvapes and the other is a blueberry I forgot where I purchased and the label came off a while back. I think the filler may have problems with alcohol based flavors.

The 2.0 ohm boge does produce good flavor. I'll give it that. I'm still using the 2.0 ohm boge on my OG bottom feeder because the switch won't handle a DC and I'm low on attys right now. I also spin one on an ego clone battery now and then.

When my 2.0 ohm boges are gone, I doubt I'll ever buy them again as long as I can get DCs. They can't produce anywhere near the amount of vapor. The flavor is comparable (I might give the edge on flavor to the boge, but it's really close). The Boge will burn and the DC won't. The DCs are very versatile with voltage and the Boge is not. The DCs hold more juice (they also use it faster, so maybe capacity is a wash). I like the DCs a lot more than I like the 2.0 ohm boge.

I've said this a couple of times: Since I stopped smoking, I've tried quite a few different devices and a ridiculous number of different juices. I've found a lot of things I like, but there has been something lacking in my mixture of vaping systems. What I missed is being able to take a drag. A "puff" - a "toot" - a "pull" - a "draw"... I've had gear that can do any of that. What I haven't been able to do is take a drag. At 5.0v with a 1.5 ohm DC, I can take a drag. It's the closest thing to the analog experience with temperature and density as I've found.

I'll never rely solely on one system. I like my variety of attys, tanks, cartos, and different flavors and types of juices. I *have* been looking for something I can be comfortable/happy using as a primary system 8 to 10 hours a day, though. 1.5 ohm dual coils at 5.0v are it.

ok :censored: these dual coils I have 10 new once that just arrived at my door I sell them including some other stuff that comes tomorrow on classified these things are not working out for me at all. I just filled one up put it on my P-18 at 6v and 5 puffs and all burnt like crazy never again dual coil.

What batts? Most of the 3.0v batts charge to 3.5 to 3.6v. Fresh off the charger, you were probably at or above 7.0v. IMHO, anything above 6.2 on a 1.5 ohm DC is just too much. With some juices, 6.2 is too high. I can scorch quite a few I have right at 6.0 even. - A 2.0 ohm DC handles 6v really well, but you're out on the fringe with a 1.5. Without the right juice and being plenty wet, it's going to scorch.

4.6v to 5.6v with a 1.5 is a beauty.
 
Bought the 1.5ohm duallies (black Smok Tech) and have been running em for 6 weeks (or so) and they are not my only vape.
I use standard batteries (510 shorties and medium length) and they work fabulous, but it is hard on the batteries. No loss, since the batteries are cheaper than a 5 pack of carto's.
So in essence I'm not running Hi voltage Hi amp as it is said is necessary (Don't tell me it doesn't work well...I'm doing it.)

I've been through 4 out of the 5.
First one was fabulous, and I destroyed it on a refill by accidentally yanking the coil wire. (crap) (dissected and clean)
Second one was no good and no clear hole through it. Basically plugged up from the factory.
Third is nearly as good as the first, and I've run ~175-185 drops of fluid through it + the initial fill of 70 drops (vg JC , tenn cured) It's still going strong , yet the draw is tightening up and I might retire it and dissect it.
Fourth has a 50/50 pg/vg mix and just doesn't vape the best.

I've tasted NO funky taste and flavor is still quite good.

I love em for their vapor but there are some QC issues with them. I haven't yet seen one burn, but others have. (Keep em moist,,I tap up when 10 to 15 drops down. Also keep the volts/amps low, or (like any carto), you'll cook it.)

On a side note, I do use the Duallie 1.5ohm, Boge 2ohm, and (on a 808) a Bloog lr. All perform well,
The dualies in general throw more vapor and you don't have to draw down to get it...it's there already.
The Boge nearly keeps up but it takes a starter draw down to get it fired off right.
The Bloog , same with the starter puff. I will say it's held it's flavor very well by comparison. Probably the best flavor yet.

I test with all the same flavor for comparison. Johnson Creek 100% VG, Tennessee Cured.

My vote? Duallies, but they do have some Quality Control issues. I can live with it.

I use Boge 2.0s on a Riva SE 3.7v. I ordered one black DC with my last carto order, just to give it a try. I like it. Ive only used the one and only used one juice (my DIY watermelon at 70p/30v). The DC has been going strong for almost a week now. No cleaning or burning or decrease in flavor yet. The vapor is plentiful. It does kill my battery faster.

I like the DC. I see myself using both the DCs and the Boge 2.0s routinely.

I was a die hard dripper too until someone sent me a boge 2.0 carto.. that changed me! It would be worth your $ money to try them cause everyone seems to love them.. actually I haven't seen a post where someone didn't love them. I still like to drip when I want to switch flavors but for my regular juices (waffles, vanilla and chocolate) I use them. They are wonderful the first day.. pretty good the second and soso the third.. I'm just starting to experiment with boiling them and letting them sit on a paper towel for a couple days and the results are good. They are dirt cheap at crystalclearvaping and jogglerjuice.. only $1.30 something with shipping. at ccv you get free shipping and free drip tips, at jogglerjuice you get free juice with your order.

I've heard the dual coils are better at higher voltage but I don't have anything higher than my 3.7 box.

I vape a riva and 3.7 box mods, the cone on the riva give them a nice smooth, rich flavor and draw. I have a couple dual coils and they are alright, they hold a lot of juice and seem to last a lot longer than the boge 2.0.. I have the 2.0 dual coils but next time I'm gonna try the 1.5.

:( :( :(...........

I'll check back with "the carto crew" in a few months. WTF. Can't they just put some metal wicking above to coil, like in atties?

I really love how you try everything to make these things work for me I guess it's just one of these things were I rather not follow the crowed but I really appreciate your input and recommendations. You are probably right that I was vaping them at 7v as these things burnt right away but as said earlier I tried them before at 6v or lets say 5.9v and we just won't be friends these DC just hate me and I hate them.

I stick to my Boge 2.0ohm they make me happy and in the end of the day we all use what helps us to stay off of cigs.

I just hate to see you waste your money and time if you can't get them working. I know that feeling all too well and am reminded of it every time I open my junk drawer.

That said: I don't think the DCs are the end-all/be-all of vaping for everyone. I do think they're worth a shot, though. But, that's easy for me to say because I didn't have to put any effort in to them (other than a few that had QC problems).

I like the duals on my 5v and on the 3.7v Riva. I have duals, single 2.0 clearo's, a boge 2,0 catro, boge 3.0 carto for the 5v, reg 2.0 atty's and a 306 for dripping. I like dripping the best. Not sure about the 3.0 boges for the 5v.. seems they don't hit good right away and need a break in period..but they get better after a while. I find this odd because it's a carto. I find my single 2.0 clearo's hit better than the 2.0 boge carto but I only have one and it may be slightly defective..

Don't like that I can't put the clearo's in my pocket, they come apart too easily.

I would like to try a carto that is made with a regular atty and not a small coil rolled up in the middle of the filler. Don't know if anyone makes a carto designed like that. I haven't seen the coils a CE2 uses. I think in a carto I would much prefer the hit off a regular atty if I had a choice.
