Dual coil cartomisers

[grizwald56]

I am an avid 801 fan as flavour is my number one thing and vape exclusively at 5v's, GDPT at home and Box 101 when out and about. I've never been a fan of LR stuff as I find they burn out the flavour of juices. I've also tried the various tanks and clearos and again not keen. So when Jason from over at Vapeescape dropped me off a dual coil carto to try I thought this is probably going to be like the clearo's.

Well to my surprise these are great, very good flavour, lots of vapour and good throat hit. The biggest surprise was that running these on a tornado was almost reminiscent of 5v vaping.

They do take a couple of hours to kick in, but once they do the draw becomes lighter and vapour thicker.

My only criticism would be that the one Jason gave me was a clear plastic one and I'm not sure I'd want to carry it around in my pocket for fear of it cracking, or coming apart like the clearos.

I'd certainly recommend these to anyone new to vaping.

I haven't used an 801 for 2++ years I hated them because they're so weak on the pen-style batteries (they were more popular in the US than here in the early days) - it's only lately that I've seen a new mod made for 801 atties, and if the battery is good and strong I can imagine it makes a good vape.

The dual-coil cartos do look interesting - do they fill the same as standard cartos? Ie, either condom or drip method?

I use the drip method and got 55 drops into it which is almost 2ml of juice. However I do leave all cartos for an hour after freshly filling to allow the juice to be fully absorbed by the filler, saves getting that burnt taste.

Dave K over at UKV recommended that if you use the condom method you should fill from both ends.

As for 801's well even though I do like these dual coil cartos they wont replace my beloved Eastmall 801 cartos. These for me are vaping heaven, especially at 5v, unsurpassed flavour, excellent vapour production and decent throat hit, plus they hold 1.1ml of juice. I've yet to find anything that comes close to these for shear pleasure.

To fill these dual coils up is simple, take cap off and drip in from the top. You can use the condom as well to make it a bit quicker.
As for 801's, try the BE112 atties, excellent vape and full flavour. Not as wimpy as the standard 801 and good at 5v too!

[grizwald56]

I used to use the BE112's when I was a driper and yes they are rather good, especially at 5v. The only problem was that they were only lasting around 5 days before wimping out, and at £23.45 for 5 I found them to be a bit expensive and that's why I moved onto cartos.

As good as the BE112's are these 801 cartos from Eastmall are miles ahead for flavour.

Sorry Griz, I hadn't realised you were talking about 801 carto's, I'll have to try them!

[grizwald56]

Well the post started on my opinion of the dual coil carto but seemed to move on to my favourite 801 cartos.

So which one will you have to try?

[bluemagnum]

The 801. I have both the clear and metal dual coils. They do give a good hit and plenty of vapour but the clear one makes me cough a bit!

[grizwald56]

Where did you get your 801 dual coil cartos from? I did'nt know there were any on the market, thought they were all 510.

[bluemagnum]

We are crossed here Griz, I want to try the 801, I have the dual coil 510's

[grizwald56]

Oh right sorry mate. Well If you are going to try them then the only place I know that stocks 801 cartos in the UK is Liberty Flights. They are Boge 3ohm.

I can't vouch for them though as I hav'nt tried them yet. Mine are from Eastmall in China and at $1 each are excellent value.

The ones I use have the vertical coil that is in the lower half of the carto, whereas the LF Boge ones are, I believe, the horizontal coil at the top of the carto.

[bluemagnum]

Thanks for that, next time I'm ordering from LF, I'll try some unless they do the group buy again from eastmall. I get my BE's from LF

[grizwald56]

If you do try the LF ones let me know what you think especially as regards wicking.

[bluemagnum]

Will do, no probs

We have a very good connection with Eastmall, our Perpetua (to give her her formal title) periodically does a bulk order for us. No idea when the next one is due, if at all, but I imagine there would be a queue for the 801 dual coil cartos if members read your recommendation, Griz Especially at $1
