The SVD supposedly will do 3.3 amps. Like the OP I have the SVD and got my iClears with the kit.
Based on what you've said I actually have some questions.
1.On a VW device do you need to take DC into account when adjusting your power settings? I'm guessing you do, but up until now I've been using SC devices, so VW settings were fine.
I don't have a SVD. Some VW devices have a "using dual coil" setting....But basically, you'd double the watts otherwise. (think of the watts as being split between the two coils).
2 Assuming #1 is true does that also means it's better to set by VV rather than VW. The settings on most of the devices I looked at cut off at 15W. But they usually go up to 6V. On a 2Ω DC, at 6V, that would be 18W, and 3Amps (which should come under the 3.3 device limit) correct?
correct on the amps. As far as VV vs VW it's all different pieces of the same ohm's law pie as your calc here shows. If you have any two variables, the others are determined. So...since the ohms of the device is fixed...you can vary either the volts or the watts and everything else "works out". The only trick with watts is that you have to "split the watts" across the two coils or use a "Dual Coil" setting on the PV (which basically doubles the needed wattage).
3. Based on this, if you're looking for a warmer vape, DC is not your friend, since it will draw twice the current to get to the same temp?
well...there's a lot of differences with coils. But yes, it draws twice the amps. It spreads them differently. (Thermodynamics is not my friend.) Most use DCC's to get a cooler vape for a given "fullness". The other DCC users can chime in here. I've got limited experience with DCC stuff. However, I posted to help out since I didn't see anyone explain it.
Thanks for helping a noob out. It's been a long time since I sat in a phys lab so my knowledge on this stuff is a bit rusty.
np. Hope it was some help.
Also, sorry to OP for giving out the wrong calcs on the voltage.
