That's off actual voltage/resistance readings from OEM equipment; a 3.7v battery and atomizers ranging from 2.0 to 2.3 ohms.
3.7 volts into 2.3 ohms equals 1.6087 amps
3.7 volts times 1.6087 amps equals 5.95 watts
3.7 volts into 2 ohms equals 1.85 amps.
3.7 volts times 1.85 amps equals 6.845 watts.
Ahh yes,
P = I˛ × R
or P = V˛ / R
What should be is not always fact in electronic circuits. Until you take the actual power drain from the final destination. (Meaning amperage & voltage readings at the same time.) Albeit this is a simply circuit, things don't always react the way you think they should in a electronic circuit. And BTW are you taking these measurements under load? I'm curious as to what power readings (amperage/voltage) you get inline with the heating element. I have yet had the time/desire to take these readings myself, but maybe that will change. Again my findings were based on vapor produced and heat ranges... not that my equipment couldn't be faulty or off par.
Sort of hard to do any 'under load' measurements with an OEM 510 battery, wouldn't you say?
I can tell you that with my current nicostick using a TI voltage regulator, I get 5.02v regardless of loading.
I guess that depends on your level of expertise. You can't really compare a unit with two different power sources, when you haven't taken the same readings from both.. at least not accurately. BTW - How is Kosovo this time of year... getting cold eh?
Seeing as how I've worked with electronics and comm gear for about 25 years now, I'm pretty confident in my abilities, and so far as I know, Ohm's law still holds true.
Is it a perfect 'under load' reading? Nope, and I never claimed it was. It *does*, however, suffice to give people an idea of where to start from and a MUCH easier way to to figure out what they need for their mod.
This is the first mod I’ve ever made and it turned out great. Once I got all my pieces parts I needed it took me about 20 minutes to put together. It couldn’t be more simple. I would highly suggest this to anyone looking to make their first mod. This is so easy. Anyone can do this. And you will also learn why vaping at 5v is called the “Sweet Spot”.
About the only think I did differently from you is I used epoxy to hold the 510 battery connector in place. I noticed that when I got it all together I was a little off on the placement of the battery connector and my atty is a bit skewed, but that doesn’t bother me at all. It vapes great and I had the fun of making it myself.
Thanks again for a great mod. (Pictures Follow)
The first pic is the completed mod.
The second is the way I attached the battery connector using epoxy.
The third is the finished product.
This really vapes like a champ. And I love the fact that you can plug it into the wall and not have to use a computer or powered USB port.
I'm May do a video review of this mod just for fun.

For those of you who may be interested in making this mod, I put together the following parts list and where you can get what you need. I am lucky to have a Harbor Frieght hardware store near my house so I went there and picked it up at the store. The other parts I needed to order.
You will also need a few things from your local hardware store.
Electrical tape
Epoxy Putty
Soldering Iron
Solder
extra wire...I just cut up the cord from an old adapter
Multi Meter..get one. They will save you a lot of headhaches.

Thanks... I'm glad it turned out well for you. The reason I recommend using tape is so that you can change out the fittings in the future... if you want to use any thing else other then the current model of atomizer your using.
And you can find the parts slightly cheaper.. or for free if you look around... if you don't have one already.... maybe a friend has a old one he doesn't use... etc. And yes I see it is a bit skewed... I recommend you have a unit with atomizer + cartridge so you can line it up.... Another good reason to use tape. =) When I have time & don't have my hands in so many projects... I'll post more step by step instructions for more advance modifications & fabrications.

Doesn't that make for a loose fit around the battery adaptor?
