Until now&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The new Dual Coil cartomizers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Smok Tech has come out with a new variation on the cartomizer called the dual coil.  These cartos are outwardly similar to standard mega cartomizers, but beneath the stuffing lies a coil arrangement that is anything but ordinary.  Rather than a single coil, there are two separate coils in a parallel arrangement running lengthwise through the filler material.  The individual coils have a higher resistance, making them less prone to scorching.  When combined they create a lower resistance and larger surface area that creates excellent warm vapor with little flavor sacrifice.<\/p>\n<p><center><div id=\"attachment_2428\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/vapingguides.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/h_dual_5_500.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2428\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2428\" title=\"h_dual_5_500\" src=\"http:\/\/vapingguides.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/h_dual_5_500-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/vapingguides.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/h_dual_5_500-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/vapingguides.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/h_dual_5_500.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2428\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hoosier 1.25 Dual Coil<\/p><\/div><\/center><\/p>\n<p><strong>Hoosier 1.25 Dual Coil<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I recently purchased some dual coil cartomizers from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hoosierecigsupply.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Hoosier E-Cig Supply<\/a> in a 1.25 ohm version and was absolutely amazed by them.  They&#8217;re easy to fill, last a long time and produce great vapor.  They work well on an eGo at 3.2v but really hit perfectly on the slightly higher voltage of an unregulated mod, particularly on a fresh battery that&#8217;s producing a little more than 4v.  I have to add a disclaimer here; some users have had battery failures using LR atomizers and cartomizers on regulated batteries like the eGo, although I have not had any issues.  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hoosierecigsupply.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Hoosier E-Cig Supply<\/a> also stocks a 1.5 ohm version that provides a similar if slightly less intense experience.<\/p>\n<p><center><div id=\"attachment_2430\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/vapingguides.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/h_dual_4_500.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2430\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2430\" title=\"h_dual_4_500\" src=\"http:\/\/vapingguides.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/h_dual_4_500-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Dual Coil Filler\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/vapingguides.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/h_dual_4_500-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/vapingguides.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/h_dual_4_500.jpg 789w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2430\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dual Coil Filler<\/p><\/div><\/center><\/p>\n<p><strong>Filling<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The dual coil cartomizers can be filled using a number of methods, just like a typical carto.  The cap fill method, where the cartomizer is pushed into the rubber cap filled with juice works well.  The included caps do not hold enough fluid to completely fill these larger cartos, however, making repeated fills necessary. \u00a0 Dripping into the battery end works also, but I think the easiest method by far is filling from the mouthpiece end. \u00a0The flexible mouthpiece tip is easy to remove and liquid can then be dripped into the cartridge when holding it at an angle. \u00a0Keep dripping until the filler looks saturated. \u00a0These cartomizers hold a whopping 1.7ml, so they last a long time between fills and can be easily topped off as needed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mega volume and size<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As with any mega cartomizer, the increased volume comes at the expense of size. \u00a0At 45mm, these add significant length to the typical electronic cigarette. \u00a0And like most cartomizers, they are just a bit too wide to fit the opening in an eGo or Riva cone. \u00a0Removing the label should make them slim enough, but that tends to be a sticky process. \u00a0Speaking of labels, a well designed red and white logo at the base displays the Hoosier name and 1.25 ohm rating adds a touch of class to these cartos.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cartomizers have always been an option for me only when dripping was not a possibility, but these cartomizers have changed the game. \u00a0Instead of relishing the satisfaction of being able to drip after using a carto for awhile, I am now finding myself using these all day long. \u00a0I&#8217;ve used one of these for over a week now with it only now starting to show some signs of degrading. \u00a0At <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hoosierecigsupply.com\/Smok-tech-Dual-Coil-Cartomizers-for-510-HEC009.htm\" target=\"_blank\">$2 each<\/a> (and they do sell them by the piece) from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hoosierecigsupply.com\" target=\"_blank\">Hoosier Ecig Supply<\/a>, if I get a week or more out of each of these, the LR atties may just have lost their top spot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cartomizers have always presented some sort of trade-off.
