actually enjoying RIVA more than LT

[jlowdo]

got from vape escape but going to get some dekang in the next group buy....don't know which will be best, but i am enjoying it at the moment

[Gordy]

sorry have to totally disagree ...in my experience dual coils out perform a single coil simply because they have two heating elements and can vaporise more juice.

all single battery devices limit the output to around 9 or 10 watts. so if you want greater performance you will need to be running a dual battery mod.

if its huge bellows of vapour you want then go for a high percentage VG mix juice

[jlowdo]

So, without wanting to start another hoo haa between maccafan and Gordy, you are suggesting that i should be able to use the dual coil 1.5ohm tanks at high voltage for more power in the lava tube effecteviley, and that the LCD will be reading out the correct output?

Similarly, with my remaining empty Tanks i can try Smoke Tech DCT single coils 2.8ohm arriving hopefully today as a direct replacement and see how results differ. I understand from fuzzy i'll need to drill a hole into the side of these to use with the tank?

and base my decision on testing the two methods...

So, Gordy, in your opinion me being sold the 3,5m lDCT Dual coil 1.5ohm tank for the LT was a reasonable choice and worthy of persevering with while also experimenting with a 2.8 ohm single coil version as suggested by maccafan??

Incidentally will be starting another thread to help my understanding of the whole voltage/ohm power thing shortly, sorry! and another about a potential health issue i think may we down to vaping

thanks all

James, I actually put my LT down for the day the other day because my Riva with the Stardust was giving me way more of a hit than the tank setup on my LT. Was puzzled, but I filled up a standard cart with some juice yesterday and had a vape and now I'm back on the LT with avengence, it is really odd that one minute one takes my fancy with one combo and the next it's completely different on another combo.

I was vaping at 5/5.5 and wasn't being satisfied and now I am down to 4.2 again on the LT with a cart and I'm as happy as Larry (whoever he is). It is really strange, in a way I am glad I have the luxury of being able to choose device and attachment or I may have got rather grumpy by now

2.5-2.8 ohm carts are standard and easily available and all you need to do is put a hole through them. So that's what I would try first.

So what you are saying is that the below are the best to get:

If that's correct I am off to enter the GB and buy a load I think

We seem to be going round in circles here! Dual Coil cartomisers with an overall resistance of 1.5 ohms are mainly intended to be run at 4 volts or less. You can do that with a Riva or a LT, but you are risking frying a Riva running one of these because they are intended to run with a lower maximum current (about 2 amps) than a LT.
I have a V V device that allows up to 5 amps of current draw and you can run a 1.5 ohm DCC at 6 volts on that if you want to vape at 24 watts - not an experience that I would recommend!
The OP says you are most enjoying a SR carto on a Riva - that is delivering about 5 watts, so I don't think it is huge amounts of power you are looking for, rather it is flavour and vapour. Now dual coil cartos at a higher resistance (e.g. 2.5 ohms) should be better than single coil cartos at the same overall resistance level for flavour and vapour. If you use a higher percentage of VG in your juice that will also give you more vapour but will reduce the throathit.
Using cartos in a tank has its advantages, mainly that it is going to run them in a fully topped up state all the time, but it can't improve on the performance of the carto - except in the sense that the carto won't go downhill after you've vaped it for a bit.
The other way to go for flavour and vapour is to use a clearomiser type thing like the stardust for instance and if you get one of the lower resistance ones you will still get a reasonable throat hit with them.
Hope something in all that is of some help

This last week we have been going round in circles like never before

can you overfill a tank? i just got some 2.5ohm single coil tank carts this morning and have loaded one up with Mom and Pop RY4... literally a couple of ml from the top... is this going to be ok... running it at 4.4 and so far have not noticed difference from the double coil 1.5ohm, but i;m certainly no expert and maybe i'll find a preference over time...any thoughts?

OK, couple of Q's first. By cart do you mean CARTOmiser (there is no such beast as a tank cart) and have you put this in a tank? I presume you have filled the carto and then put it in a tank and then filled that? If so you can fill the tank as full as you like, leaving just a mm or so at the top and you are good to go.

Have a play, 4.4 would maybe be a bit harsh for me, but if it's good for you that's great. As I said before, it's all a matter of finding what suits you and your setup, everyone is a bit different and have their own preferences.

[jlowdo]

it was a smoke tech DCT 510 DCT Cartomizer 2.5ohm as showing on the invoice... just doesn't seem to draw very well

[jlowdo]

8-10 seconds at 4.0 and not much coming out - newly charged battery

[jlowdo]

do you really have to tug on these things?

[Roger]

Try dropping voltage to about 3.4 and see what happens. Just to confirm the carto is punched??

[jlowdo]

not a lot. barely any draw at all. almost like sucking through a straw....

[jlowdo]

i'd say at 4.8 slightly hotter but less draw/vape than a rita with a boge and same liquid
