    The next chapter in our addition to the amazing dual coil range of cartomisers...
    Tornado/eGo Mega Dual Coil Cartomisers hold up to a whopping 5ml of e-liquid! That is enough to keep the average user going for days on end without having to refill.
    Thanks to the absorbant material used within these eGo Mega Dual Coil Cartomisers you will experience zero leakage, zero burning taste and a great vape all day long.

    As per other versions of the dual coil cartomiser the eGo Mega Dual Coil Cartomiser has a twin coil atomising ability, each coil runs at around 3.0ohm resistance giving a throat kicking 1.5ohm overall. They come with a rubber mouthpiece fitted so the cartomiser is ready to be used, just add some liquid!

    im not a fan of low res but i may try them at some point

    wow, even their dual coils are 6 euro


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,512 ✭✭✭Oh_Noes


    Pretty pricey for a disposable product alright but Vapour Ireland has always been slightly more expensive than TBS and the vapour store.

    I can't really fault the regular DCCs available atm and they're only €2 a pop but those ego ones do look good. It's nice how they come with a mouthpiece.

    A better price here. Ordered some on Friday so hopefully arriving soon:

    Reduced from €11 :eek:

    I try my best to support Irish sellers but when I see these kind of prices it's a sure fire way of driving my business away.

    Just on that - I just received a few of these, a drip tip and some new liquid for my tornado, but I'm not sure I'm using it correctly?

    I removed the plastic stopper at the top, put in a good bit of liquid a few drops at a time until they were absorbed (maybe 20 drops or more in total), and then let it soak for a while. But even a few hours later, I'm getting quite a burnt/bitter taste. I got the "Ruyan4# / RY 4 Strength: - 24mg" from TBS - perhaps it's a bit stronger than I was expecting.

    best way of filling the dcc's imo, takes no time at all.

    I'm using 18mg RY4 from TBS also, these are low resistance at 1.5 Ohms and give a strong hit and i think while they work very well ya lose out on flavour i think.

    Compared to a perfect working atty i think i would prefer using an atty for a nicer and smoother draw.

    Having said that, i will get another couple tomorrow with some 11mg RY4 and see if that makes a difference. The voltage on a eGo battery is at 3.4v so maybe if ya had a Provari or something where ya can lower the voltage ya would get a more pleasant experience out of them.

    Does'nt sound like you are doing anything wrong.

    Keep filling it until the liquid starts to drip out of the other end. Put the drip tip back on and blow the excess out. Give the end a good wipe until dry and then screw your battery on.

    Thanks guys - tried this using the video posted above and a different liquid, and it's made a big difference; much nicer to use now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,263 ✭✭✭✭Eoin


    Is the capacity the main difference between these and the €2 cartomizers?

    pack of 3 for 18 euro or 5 for 25 euro (including delivery).Check it out

    I'm all for supporting Irish sites, too, but not when I can pay 10 Euro here:
    http://www.ecigwizard.com/shop/en/cartomisers/303-tornado-mega-dual-coil-cartomiser.html

    as opposed to 18 Euro from your site it's a no-brainer.

    (£3.60 inc vat on orders under £10) so works out 14.17 euro total. I'd rather pay 4 euro extra and not have to wait 5-7 working days as opposed to delivery in Ireland within 24 hours.

    I've just ordered a few, looking forward to trying them out.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20 moone


    Decided not to get the mega ones as people on other forums were saying that it only works with 1 out of 3 ego/riva style batteries (although it's meant to fit them all). Getting a couple of normal dual coils from irishvapers. Anyone getting the mega ones please post if batteries fit alright.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,263 ✭✭✭✭Eoin


    Mine just arrived today. First impressions - they're very big! Makes the whole thing even longer than it was when I was using a cartomiser and drip tip.

    It seems to provide a much better draw though; a lot more vapour is produced. I don't know if that means I'll be going through the liquid even faster?

    they're 15 euro for a pack of 3 on e-cigireland.com now, think I'll do some hardcore budgeting tomorrow morning and figure out if I can afford to get some

    --edit

    just ordered a pack of 3 for E15, made the mistake of shipping them to my parents address but hopefully they arrive tomorrow while i'm there.
    think i'll go watch that video of that old english hippy talking about how awesome they are for 10 minutes, he was fun.

    ---edit

    emailed e-cigIreland and they said it was np to change the shipping addy to my place instead of the parents, yay.
    if it gets posted today I oughta definitely have them by tomorrow. all excited now.. which.. is kinda weird.

    There are two types. If you buy the wrong one I assume there may be problems. If you look at their listing on Liberty Flights you will see one type for the Smoke Tech proprietary device, the E-Power, and an eGo type which I assume will fit fine. Tempted to grab a couple before going on hols.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,263 ✭✭✭✭Eoin


    Pretty impressed after a day's use - it was nice not having to swap or refill a cartomiser all day. Not sure about the rubber mouthpiece on it though; it feels a bit funny. And as I said it's made the entire device pretty long. Still, I'm all for having less fiddling around to do during the day with it, so well worth it.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,556 ✭✭✭✭Sir Digby Chicken Caesar


    they didn't arrive today :(


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 9,035 Mod ✭✭✭✭mewso


    Hmm strange I ordered 3 yesterday and they arrived this morning.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,556 ✭✭✭✭Sir Digby Chicken Caesar


    maybe the postman is just late or something.. but he's usually here before 10

    le sigh

    --edit

    they came \o/
    just filled one and leaving it to sit for a little bit as reccomended

    looks the business anyway

    --edit

    lovely amount of vapour from this, although my trusty ry4 isn't exactly doing the job for me flavour wise. i'll be able to get another flavour or two in a few weeks so I'll be looking forward to that. but as far as atomisers go, definitely impressed. hoping they drop in price a small bit though.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,556 ✭✭✭✭Sir Digby Chicken Caesar


    well I just now got the taste that tells me it's time to refil. I gave it a little boost yesterday in the night time but that's almost 2 days on one filling.. pretty great

    im actually running out of battery power before im running out of juice, that **** is crazy
    i'd always said I wouldn't bother with a big fancy battery but.. i'm considering it now.

    one problem I have with is is the refilling, it's hard to know when to stop pouring juice in.. last night and just now I lost what looks like a **** ton of juice from dripping out the atomiser after I'd refilled

    it's not so bad when you're using the 50ml bottles from thebestshop but.. i dont want that happening when I order some of my fancy ass chocolate coffee caramel flavours. I guess Ill just have to take it a lot slower when filling it up.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,476 ✭✭✭Samba


    If anyone starts getting a plastic burning taste from these after a few days, remove the soft tip they come with, the Mega Type B drip tips fit them, something else that can tie you over if it develops is the dummy cartridges that you might have lying around from your tanks, they fit perfectly too.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,556 ✭✭✭✭Sir Digby Chicken Caesar


    bugger, really?

    I threw out a load of that **** last week :/

    I did the same thing and overfilled it a few times, so I'm erring on the side of caution and putting a good bit less in with the occasional top up. I'd say it's about a full fill up every day, sometimes twice - probably going through 2 battery charges a day on my tornado.

    Despite the size of the whole thing, it's great to have less fiddling around to do during the day.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,556 ✭✭✭✭Sir Digby Chicken Caesar


    yeah.. the throat hit isn't.. great for me, it's good but not that much better than the regular dual coils. it's the vapour I love about it.. its a small thing but when I see a big cloud of vapour when I exhale, it lets me know I'm smoking/vaping

    pondering getting a usb passthrough for this so I dont have to keep switching batteries around when i'm not out


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,263 ✭✭✭✭Eoin


    I definitely notice the vapour. The hit felt stronger, but maybe I was imagining it.

    I bought the USB charger for work and have the mains one at home - very handy.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,556 ✭✭✭✭Sir Digby Chicken Caesar


    id love a provari but.. im not spending 150+ euro on it, no way no how.

    i'm think9ing about getting a small bottle of 18mg strength something instead of my usual 11mg, just to see what the throat hit is like with it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,263 ✭✭✭✭Eoin


    That's mad money! At the very least I don't want to be spending more money than I was on smokes.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,476 ✭✭✭Samba


    bugger, really?

    I threw out a load of that **** last week :/

    Hehe, always the way but tbh I'm not sure how much better they would be after being heated continually, just a stop gap measure at best.

    I didn't experience this plastic taste yet myself yet, but a few people have reported it on other forums. I'd imagine it's down to vaping habits but as a precaution I just use a solid metal tip to be safe.

    Note on the Pro-Vari - just wait for the Volcano mod to come out, looks like it's going to be a very good affordable mod.

    I got some of these at the weekend - not impressed so far for some reason.
    These don't seem to be as good as the 510 sized dual coil cartos as far as taste and vapour production is concerned.

    I've also noticed that the unregulated LCD Ego battery I have makes them burn quite badly. I'll keep them for spares just in case one of my atty's die but other than that I won't be getting any more.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,556 ✭✭✭✭Sir Digby Chicken Caesar


    weird.. i'm noticing a huge jump in vapour production from the regular dcc's

    could be down to the liquids we're using I guess


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,263 ✭✭✭✭Eoin


    Yeah, I noticed the same


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,556 ✭✭✭✭Sir Digby Chicken Caesar


    actually
    is there any easy way to flush out one of these atomisers?

    its getting close to the time where i'll need to refill my current, but i've some new juices coming tomorrow and I'll want to throw them in as soon as I get them.. wont want to wait until late tomorrow night for the juice to run out

    I suppose I could just refill it a little bit now, just enough to wet the top and then it will soak through the rest of the filler over time and hopefully be drying out by tomorrow morning for the new flavours.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,556 ✭✭✭✭Sir Digby Chicken Caesar


    one problem with these atties... not great for testing out new liquids
    3 new liquids arrived today, filled one of my atties fully with one of them and... not mad about it

    and now im kinda stuck with it for the rest of the day :)

    --edit]
    actually scratch that, i just needed some time to get used to it. it's not at all what i expected, . its not like the other flavour I got from another site but... it's actually quite nice once you get used to it

    What kind of life span are you getting out of these? I realise this varies from person to another, but I believe you mentioned before that you vaped for most the day? You would be a good benchmark for me, cheers!


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,556 ✭✭✭✭Sir Digby Chicken Caesar


    i just changed my first one today, so just under 7 days

    it's not dead yet, but I was noticing something a bit.. not right about it, so i just figured I'd throw a new one in and fill it with one of the juices I received this morning.. been waiting all day to try them but the bastards just never run out of juice :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,263 ✭✭✭✭Eoin


    I've been rotating mine a little, as I was using different juices so it's hard to tell how long they'll last. They seem a bit more robust than the cartomisers though, I think the carts were just a little too close to the width of the hole in the cone that sits over the device, which didn't help.

    One of them is contaminated with some rank juice I got from thebestshop; not sure I can stomach trying to get through it, so might just have to write it off!


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,556 ✭✭✭✭Sir Digby Chicken Caesar


    heh, yeah.. im seriously considering buying a 510 atty and just dripping for a while whenever I get a new juice

    got 3 30ml bottles this morning and while I can certainly see myself vaping them, not gona throw them out or anything.. I was hoping they would be enough for a while .. its looking like I might have to order a 50ml jobbie from thebestshop, ry4 or something.. cos I can't see myself vaping any of these all the time without any sort of break from them.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,476 ✭✭✭Samba


    Just fired up my first Smok 3.5ml XL, do these take a while to get going? Kind of disappointed with vape production so far, put about 2.5ml of liquid in it.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,556 ✭✭✭✭Sir Digby Chicken Caesar


    yeah, I find they take a little bit to get going properly.. im not sure why but the first little while is never as good as it oughta be


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,476 ✭✭✭Samba


    Went and made lunch and let the liquid soak in, came back and hey presto, nice thick clouds of vape, but without the harsh throat hit LR have.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,476 ✭✭✭Samba


    My observations.

    The 3.5ml DCCs are v.good but the 5ml seem to be producing much more vape. Worth noting the 5mls have the Ego logo on the box but the 3.5 don't, though they were located under 510 Cartos.

    During the week I felt it was time for a new battery, so I ordered the LED display on the bestshop, unfortunately it's not working correctly specifically with the 5ml Cartos. It works but there appears to be some type of contact issue, as the light flashes off after a second and it registers a puff and then it starts up again, so in short it's stopping and starting, very annoying as it's working perfectly with any other carto or tank (including the 3.5ml). Very strange.
