Few Questions

[xan420]

I want to get myself a dual coil clearomizer for my halo ultra tank. Ive been looking at a few different dual coil clearomizers. I have noticed that some have different resistance. My battery is 1000mah. I think its a 510 thread(not sure) on the tip of the battery it says input 4.2v only. So what would be the best one to get?

Hello and welcome to the planet. I'm sure someone will be along to help you soon. Don't forget to say hello in the intro section

I do believe using a lower resistance like 1.8ohms will get you a bit more vapour & flavour from your setup.

Thanks for the reply. Could u recommend a good site to buy from. I found this on vape escape but theres no 1.8ohms that i can see.

These are an ego style batteries on looking around found this that may help you decide.


This simplified chart below is just a quick reference


Battery/Voltage Single Coil Dual Coil
510, 901, 808 2.0 - 2.5 ohm NO!
eGo Batteries 2.0 - 2.5 ohms. 1.5-1.7 ohms
3.7v (Go-go, Larger eGo, Riva). 1.7 to 3.2 ohms 1.5-1.7 ohms
5v (Variable Voltage) 2.5 to 3.2 ohms 2 ohms
6v (Variable Voltage) 3.2 ohms and up 2.5 ohms
7v (Variable Voltage) 4.5 to 5 ohms 3 ohms


DC Cartomizers
Dual coil cartomizers seem to be all the rage lately but there is some confusion on how they actually work.

A dual coil carto consists of two coils of the same resistance. They are wired in parallel so the total resistance is half the resistance of either coil.
For example:
The total resistance of the 1.5ohm dual coil is 1.5ohms, but the resistance of either coil it contains is 3ohms. Both coils are actually 3.0ohms individually, together they are not 6.0, they are 1.5ohms


A 1.5ohm carto at 3.7V would be drawing 3.7/1.5=2.47 amps. But the single coil is burning at 3.7^2 / 1.5 = 9.13 Watts, while each coil of a dual coil 1.5ohm carto is burning at (3.7^2/1.5) / 2 = 4.57 watts. You are spliting the power between the two coils.
Although you can certainly get away with it, a 3.7v device is not ideal for a DC cartoi, you should use a 4.5v or better.


And here is the link for the detailed chart

I'm still a bit baffled. Would the dual coil that i linked above function properly or am i just better sticking to normal clearomizer till i get myself an upgrade.

Simply you would be better to stick to a normal Clearomizer, have you tried the Evod's or Kanger MT3's? They are getting good reviews at the moment and there is always the mini nova another firm favourite

Cheers for reply. Haven't used any of the ones you mentioned. Will have to get some ordered up. Thanks for the help

Check the forum for the reviews, I know I'm ordering a couple of Evod's and kanger MT3's at the end of the month

Here is one of the threads on the Evod
