    Battery Configurations in Regulated Mods

    Almost all multiple-battery mods are series and I suspect that that's the case with the rx300 as well. All series I mean. Bucking the voltage is more efficient than boosting, and having good bucking circuitry is pivotal with the low resistance of tc builds. Having about 12v available even at the...

    E-Cigars.

    The standard coils for the AIO are subohm. However, subohm or not doesn't really make that big of a difference as people make it out to be. On regulated devices (the AIO isn't regulated, as far as I know) you can set the power to what you like. Some atomizers with subohm coils will vape great at...

    Drawing more current than Mooch's CDR

    My Alien shuts off when it should, and that's at 2.8-2.9v. Batteries can handle discharges as low as 2.5v without taking damage. At my chosen wattage, 40-60w, I get a good vape all the way down to the cutoff. Sent from my K6000 Pro using Tapatalk

    Amp question

    You'd be exceeding the cdr quite a lot at 140w though (26-27 amps). The 25r should be able to handle that, when new at least, but it should be noted. Sent from my K6000 Pro using Tapatalk

    10amp battery question???

    I'm guessing those batteries aren't married then. That's an additional problem. Sent from my K6000 Pro using Tapatalk

    Is there a 'direct' upgrade to the istickTC40W ?

    However, a dual-battery dna75 mod (parallel) would have worse battery life than a dual-battery dna200/250 mod, just as an example. Sent from my K6000 Pro using Tapatalk

    Is there a 'direct' upgrade to the istickTC40W ?

    Look, the Cuboid has terrible battery life, I agree. The only thing I'm saying is that you can't take that to apply to all series mods out there, the science simply doesn't support that. When you do that you risk giving bad advice. I'm all for you giving recommendations based on your experience...

    Is there a 'direct' upgrade to the istickTC40W ?

    You can't simply compare two devices and extrapolate that to relate to every device there is. My Smok Alien (series) has more battery time than my iStick tc100w (parallel), which has better battery time than my Cuboid (series). Sent from my K6000 Pro using Tapatalk

    Is there a 'direct' upgrade to the istickTC40W ?

    In the example in your link the power provided in the parallel circuit is half if that in the series circuit. When you regulate the output, as you do with a vw mod, you're not simply providing all the available voltage directly to the resistor. Say that you have a 1 ohm resistance, an output of...

    Is there a 'direct' upgrade to the istickTC40W ?

    Any data to support that? The Watt hours are identical in series and parallel configurations, and bucking is generally regarded as more efficient than boosting. Experiences from specific individual mods don't mean much (for example, the iStick tc100w has better battery life than the Cuboid, but...

    Vaporesso Nebula wattage drop

    Don't use that battery at all. It's simply not suited for vaping. For 18650s, buy only authentic high drain batteries by Sony, Samsung, or LG from a trusted vendor (there are many fakes out there). 26650s are a bit trickier as they are pretty much all mislabelled rewraps. Check Mooch's...

    I need help finding a micro USB for the Joyetech Ego Aio

    Sorry, but the usb wall adapter should be rated at the same or higher than the mod requires. Not lower. A higher rated adapter will heat up less, whereas an adapter rated too low might overheat. The charger is actually built into the mod and will pull only what it needs, but it has no way of...

    CUBOID "PreHeat" Option Firmware Update 9/2/2016 v5.04 & 5.14

    200w on two 18650s is a lot. At the low voltage cutoff you'll be exceeding the cdr of even 30-amp batteries (assuming that the mod can even fire at full wattage with discharged batteries). Sent from my K6000 Pro using Tapatalk

    An apology regarding my Energy Vap battery testing

    How can I ever trust you again!? ;-) Sent from my K6000 Pro using Tapatalk

    Are there any fumes coming off batteries to be concerned about?

    Pushing the batteries past their limits. You need to make sure that you don't pull more amps than your batteries are rated for. Sent from my K6000 Pro using Tapatalk

    Drawing more current than Mooch's CDR

    In this case you responded to a post of mine. No, you didn't quote me, but you did in fact respond to a post of mine. I've moved past this, but you keep insisting. Just stop it. I'm being civil and trying to actually have a conversation. If you can't, stop engaging me. Put me on ignore or...

    Hohmtech Slice

    The Hohm Tech chip is supposedly quite accurate in "normal" (not-FSM, I'm not trying to offend anyone here) so I'd think that you could use the same atty with something like titanium wire in non-FSK temp mode and compare the results to kanthal/nichrome in FSK mode. You'd have to use the same...

    Drawing more current than Mooch's CDR

    This is not about you, and this thread wasn't started by you. If there indeed are Aliens with different cutoff voltages it is of interest to me and other users. My Alien cuts of at about 2.9v (Samsung 30q and LG hg2 batteries, both tc and vw, watts between 40 and 60). Why would I lie about that...

    Drawing more current than Mooch's CDR

    Did you measure the batteries with a multimeter? Did you run the batteries down all the way to the cutoff? Did you measure straight away after you pulled the batteries or did you let them rest a while (how long?) before? And which version of the Alien do you have, the A or the B? And a question...

    Drawing more current than Mooch's CDR

    So I'll ask you again, and not for the sake of argument but because it's of interest. How low does your Alien discharge the batteries? Have you measured the voltage when the mod stops firing due to low charge? Sent from my K6000 Pro using Tapatalk
