    Best resistance for battery life

    When I get into these types of discussions (and there have been many) I usually assume an ideal circuit just for the fact that the efficiency is unknown for nearly all commercial PVs. However, I do usually includes the disclaimer that changes in efficiency will have an effect on the drain...

    Best resistance for battery life

    Output current is not the same as battery drain current. The short answer is that resistance doesnt matter; battery life will be the same, no matter the resistance, as long as the power (watts) is the same. The long answer is in this thread...

    Electronic Geekmaster Needed

    You will always get full battery voltage in an open circuit (no coil). Voltage is similar to pressure. In an open circuit the voltage has nowhere to go, so it is just backed up at the furthest point that it can reach (atty posts). Just like a water faucet, the water is not flowing but the...

    Question about variable volt real power

    The subject at hand is battery drain current while under a load. Where did you get the idea that there was not a load or a circuit? P = QV/t = IV The battery provides the voltage, it also provides the electric current. So if we have voltage from the battery, and current from the battery...

    Question about variable volt real power

    Here, I remembered reading this a while back. If you dont find my explanations of the laws to be worth consideration as true and accurate, or even plausible, statements...maybe the fine folks at Provape Engineering could sway your thinking.

    Question about variable volt real power

    :facepalm: Great googly moogly...is this a joke? How can you even begin to discuss the subject when you dont know the BASIC FUNDAMENTALS of electricity? I amend my previous statement: The only way to truly learn is to accept that what you think you know could possibly be IS wrong. Read...

    Question about variable volt real power

    I think there many be a little difference in our definitions. Input power is from the battery to the voltage converter. Output power is from the converter to the coil. Thermal efficiency of the coil is a completely different conversation, but the efficiency of the converter is very pertinent to...

    OH LOOK, i bought 28 GAUGE for my VAMO! . . . solution inside + an END to the LONG LEGS MYTH!!!

    Yes, cooler at the ends, not because more heat is generated from the center (as your post would imply), but because there is less cooling at the center (furthest point from the heat sink and thermal diffusivity).

    OH LOOK, i bought 28 GAUGE for my VAMO! . . . solution inside + an END to the LONG LEGS MYTH!!!

    Wow, I've got a lot to catch up on... This was explained in my earlier post: Radiant heating near and around the coil, highest concentration of heat output, power not high enough to overcome the leg-to-air heat transfer. Prediction and execution are 2 different things. I had no control over...

    Question about variable volt real power

    Ohm's law is not the "end all be all" to electricity calculations. A voltage regulator, aka voltage converter, aka DC-DC converter, CONVERTS from one voltage to another voltage. This conversion could be a boost converter that converts low voltage to a higher voltage, or a buck converter than...

    Question about variable volt real power

    See (and read) the blog post that explains why it is. You're only using half of the equation; the output side. You can't ignore the input side of things. Energy is not free, it cannot be created from nothing. The ONLY reason that a battery would last longer when used at the SAME power level...

    Question about variable volt real power

    It was a very accurate assessment. In fact...it's the law. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/blogs/rader2146/3500-calculating-battery-drain-current.html

    Provari on an Oscope vs Vamo

    For as much as you were concerned about thermal inertia, you sould be able to make the connection to the faulty logic in this analogy.

    I saw this in the modding forum, Very Nice. I have an AGA-T+...I REALLY need to find a AGA-T(original) to complete the hybrid.

    OH LOOK, i bought 28 GAUGE for my VAMO! . . . solution inside + an END to the LONG LEGS MYTH!!!

    There are 3 simultaneous heat transfers taking place. Wire to posts, wire to vapor, and wire to air. If all three of these transfers happen at a sufficient rate...no hot spots. Wire to air is the slowest transfer of the three because air's thermal capacity is much lower than that of a liquid...

    Vendor Ban!!!

    It's not the business's fault that the customer cant properly manage their supplies. It's simple, order more before you run out. But these days everyone is looking for someone else to blame for their shortcomings. It they're fat, it's the fast food's fault. If they're poor, it's their job's...

    Vendor Ban!!!

    Stop taking new orders because you are backlogged = people complain Continue to take orders, get backlogged even further, orders take weeks to ship = people complain "Ban" vendors because they are popular and have a high demand, get real. You obviously have no idea what it takes to run a small...

    Sigelei Mechnical Mods

    That was my main concern when I first tried it, but I havent had any problems so far. For me, it is a temporary workaround until I can turn a new threaded post. I have access to a lathe at work, just need the brass bar stock.

    OH LOOK, i bought 28 GAUGE for my VAMO! . . . solution inside + an END to the LONG LEGS MYTH!!!

    OK, now that I have time to explain, and for those that are following along that actually are actually receptive to knowledge, here is what I know. A dry coil will glow at just about any power level. So why doesn't a coil with juice also glow? Is it because the juice cools the coil? No, not...

    No, this is called defence. I didn't fire the first shot... There is a process to teaching and effective learning. First, the one doing the learning must have an open mind and be willing to accept that what he previously thought he knew might be wrong. If he never accepts that, then I'm just...
