And that's one reason hybrid mechanicals hit so much harder than those with 510's. :) Too bad the P3 connector isn't taking off as much as it should - the 510 needs to die (though 510 adapters are still needed in the interim - ahem ;) -

ProVari 2.5 was my first real mod. I went with it because I'd heard great things about ProVape, I liked the feel of it (didn't feel cheap like other plastic mods 'competing' with it), and the design was great. I don't think I was considering accuracy back then - probably didn't think it would... -

I know you weren't replying to me, but at 60W, nobody is going to be taking 10-second pulls. You need too much airflow at that power, otherwise you'll be in for a nasty burnt surprise, so 2-3 seconds is all your lungs can handle. Depending on your vaping style, that could last all day (though... -

Unless it's a Carver, sucking power right from the wall, dimming the lights with the beat ;) Kidding... Yep, even the most knowledgeable audiophiles I run into don't REALLY understand impedance curves/graphs, and how it varies based on frequency. Start talking about damping factors and watch... -

Now you're entering my area of expertise - audio electronics. Yes, it's very true about audio amplifiers not performing anywhere near their quoted specs. There are so many factors to consider when pairing an amp with a speaker/driver, and watts is pretty much the least important of them all... -

There's one thing that bugs me about high wattage devices. Your display says 92.8W, like there's any difference between 92.8 and 93W. C'mon mod makers, there no need for tenths of a watt at anything over 20W, IMHO. -

If they're going as high as 40, they might as well be awesome and make it 42. ;) -

I agree - 35-40W at most. When the P3 was released, many shops gave ProVape customer feedback during the beta program, and the majority were not impressed with the 20W limit, and thought it should be 30-35W. Since we know the Radius will be "more than 30W", I put my bets on 35W (but will be... -

I'll have to check out the J-Wraps offering. I use "Cup-Vapes", which is a nice balance between soft/hard rubber. They make them with 3 25mm holes, and one with a rectangular cutout for a box mod. My P3 sometimes shaves off a little bit of the rubber, but better wear on the mod holder than the... -

60W isn't for everyone, and I'm not suggesting anyone try it. It is nice to have options though, such as turning down the power to a level you enjoy, while still having it be accurate. That's a problem with many high-power devices - their accuracy leaves a lot to be desired at lower wattages... -

Of course not - any good (or even mediocre) electronics engineers wouldn't use any part anywhere near its rating. That doesn't just apply to cells, but also electronic parts - resistors, capacitors, etc., unless you don't want it to last very long (and then we get into a discussion about planed... -

Thank you. I refrained from stating my credentials in my reply to Zen, but I am an engineer, have taught 4 levels of electronics classes, and work at a major international company everyone has likely heard of. Like I've said before, and you said again in your post, it all depends on the... -

You can do temp limiting (it's not really temp control) on any battery. The important factors are ramp-up time (which is sheer power/wattage), and ability to maintain the needed voltage once the requested temperature has been met. Remember, there's no such thing as controlling wattage - all... -

I respect your knowledge Zen, but in this case I believe you're confusing power at the atomizer with power at the cell. I worked it up on Steam Engine for your review. 3.3V charge left in the cell, with 60W set on the mod will drain ~20A from the cell, depending on efficiency of the mod. I've... -

Yes, they have confirmed that it will be "more than 30 watts" and will not use a LiPo pack. -

The resistance of the coil has absolutely nothing to do with the battery, but it has everything to do with the amperage you're pulling through the electronics. The low resistance rating of the Radius will be determined by what ProVape feels safe pulling through their new board. Considering... -

Unless I'm missing something, what are you vaping Zen? You reach the 20A maximum at 3.3V @ 60W. On a full charge, you can pull even more wattage without hitting the 20A maximum. All depends on your buck/boost circuit's ability to step-up voltage. So, if you're talking about 50% CDR, and... -

What many are forgetting is that this is a ProVape thread. The highest wattage they currently support is 20W. While some of us wish for more power, there's no sense in debating the pros/cons of ProVape, wattage, or other devices. There are plenty of products to choose from, and if the Radius... -

Except, there are other variables at play, so I was generalizing. One such variable is that we've been discussing the constant discharge of a cell. Most of these high-end cells are rated 20-25A *continuous*, but with much higher pulse ratings. Depending on the definition of "pulse" by the...
