Variable Voltage eGo-T

[mcguffin]

Hi there,

I'm thinking in buying a Variable Voltage eGo-T battery (3.2,3.7 and 4.2), but a friend told me that if I use atomizers under 2.0 ohm I will destroy the battery.
Is this true?

Thanks for your time

I don't know about that, I'm not an expert but I use 1.7 cartos and 2.0 cartos on mine with no issues.

Can't imagine that 2 ohms would be a problem. And swedishfish says no issue. Certainly more stress at 2 ohms as compared to higher but 2 shouldn't "destroy". Shorten life of of batt - probably (as compared to higher ohms). And, likely, that 4.2 volts mentioned is not loaded volts and even what the loaded voltage is at 4.2 unloaded, not for that much time in a discharge cycle.

I saw on a web page that it's not recommended to use anything under 2 ohms.

I think the "recommendation" is generally sound and deals with the stress placed on the battery and circuit board by high amp draws. However, in the context of a variable voltage eGo-T battery, 2 ohms at the 4.2 setting will produce about the same amps as 1.8 ohms at the 3.7 volts setting or about the same amps as 1.5 ohms on the 3.2 setting. Also, a "recommendation" seems somewhat different than "destroy". 1.7 ohms did not "destroy" swedishfish's battery.

I don't know...maybe, being that the VV Ego-T is a tube mod, I don't know if that has anything to do with it, I would think 4.5v is 4.5v regardless of the battery, but then again...I am not sure.

I have a VV Splash and I can vape at 4.4v-4.5v using LR atty's. I've had no problems whatsoever.

And...since, Swedishfish is using 1.7 cartos with no issues, I honestly don't think they're should be an problems.
And...regardless, of what Swedishfish says...that she is NO EXPERT, I believe she knows more than she thinks, she offers great advice and she is very familiar with the Ego-T

Don't buy into the 4.2V crap. All Li-Ion cells are 4.2V when not under load. It's just a battery which means it will never vape at 4.2V.

Many of the Riva's and the SLB eGos are exactly the same thing as having that on the 4.2V setting.

If you really want to vape at 4.2V you will more than just a single battery in an eGo knock-off.

The eGo 650mah, 900mah, and 1000mah batts are regulated 3.4v batts. The eGo 1100mah batt is a 3.7v batt under load. Yes, all eGo batts are 4.2v at full charge, but the voltage under load of an atty will be 3.7v very quickly once you start vaping. The 3.4v models are pulse width modulated to give you 3.4v from start to finish for a consistent vape level. PWM is similar to pressing a switch rapidly to make a light come on and off at a lower brilliance instead of staying on brightly with the switch depressed all the time. You get consistent vape temperatures and a longer charge life from a regulated battery. That's one reason why you get longer charge life from a PWM batt than an unregulated batt.

My
I bought a VV eGo 2 weeks ago, and I have to say I'm not as happy with it as I'd expected to be. I consistently vape @ 4.2 volts--the highest setting, and its still not a satisfying vape for me. I have the 900 mAh VV eGo, and since I tend to chain vape, a full charge only lasts me about 4-6 hours. I'll keep this as a backup, but I think I'll start saving for a HV mod. I've been drooling over the Provari for quite some time now!
