That's it!!!

You're on my list :mad:



Just kidding. ;)

For those who don't know: watt = joules per second.

I was watching the screen of this Snow Wolf as I was mod womping on the rda and that puppy is bumping 70 watts for a 500 F vape but once it reaches temp in backs off drastically.

I'll have to go in the bathroom and see if I can rig up a double-mirror setup, so I can read the display on mine; I really can't read backward worth a crap. :D But I looked at it in the small mirror I keep at my desk, and I could see the temp bouncing around just under the set temp. I did that so I could figure out the lowest wattage setting that would get me quickly to the 370F-390F temp setting; 35w works great.

So if the PWM rate is at 120 hz and the duty cycle is at 50% how many millijoules would that be in a .1 ohm coil at a 5 volt peak voltage on a 3.5 second vape?

Sorry could not resist.

Ok, I did that -- I have the Evic set to 400F this morning, and its usual 35w... after it gets up to temp, the watts then drop to like 4, 5, 6 watts -- very little wattage at all. It's hard to hold the mod in a way that my fingers are out of the way of the screen, fire it, hold a 2nd mirror up to the big mirror, and see what's happening -- I'll try it again in a bit so i can see what the resistance is doing.

Thank you both for your replies - and thank you @AndriaD for being so comprehensive. The iStick is 2600mAh so yes, it is rather on the low side but the the mod is very small and has only one battery whereas I suspect the larger Evic carries 2. And no, I don't think I would enjoy a very warm vape so I think 40watts is more than I will ever need - even 30 is daredevil for me.. only attempted on a couple of occasions when I wanted to be like in your face and not enjoyed at all. :D All in all I think at the price - a mere $30 - it's worth a try. It would have been nice to have an interchangeable battery set up, but again at the price 300 cycles is probably good.

Thanks again.
As mentioned, you surely can continue vaping your style with tc, with a side benefit of when you do decide to take that occasional lung hit described..... The mod adjusts and regulates, so the temp will be the same as always.
The tc 40 istick has been reported as very inaccurate with listed temp...on the plus side it's I believe cooler then set temp. I don't think it has a ti mode.
You CAN use Ti wire on a ni only mod...it will still work, but temps will be off, running hotter then set temp by 80-100 degrees, so if you like 400 degrees F., you will need to set the mod between 300-320 degrees to match, the lowest setting of 200 will be closer to 300. There is another option for small comfortable tc mod

That's all true, but what we SET is WATTS -- not the other stuff. So it's really somewhat irrelevant to the discussion, except as it relates to the rapid battery depletion.

What we're trying to address is the idea, which I suffered at first myself, that 30-40w is a lot -- yes it is, for a tootle puffer, but you're not vaping at that wattage, you're vaping at whatever temp you select; the wattage you select is the power to get it to that set temp.

I know... it's just frustrating when people are talking about electrical circuits using the wrong terms. I also know it's not ya'lls fault that they Used "watts" wrong in the first place.

Sorry

This exactly -- and besides all that real-time monitoring, I think Boden nailed it -- low resistance coils really do pull amps, which rapidly depletes the battery.

Amp draw works differently in a regulated device then a mech.... You aren't actually drawing that many amps on the low ohm build... When you are set at a low temp and the mod is only using 10 watts or so to maintain it..... Regulated device have a separate formula then ohms law, based on wattage in =wattage out. The regulation would be the primary cause of lowered battery life.... That being said, I get only 50% battery drain on a full days use of my evic (they actually have 3 square lipo packs much like cell phone batteries, wired in parallel). Lipos do have a break in period, so after a few charges you may find your battery life will increase.

looks like most of the tootle puffers are on a more advanced vaping road these days :(
The cloud side is very seductive.

I am a techie, I understand it but choose to use Egos and Evods and such.
Still a REAL Tootle Puffer.

Here's a question, I was going to ask in the wompers' thread, but since we're on the TC subject... I seem to be getting a lot less vapor this morning, which is why I turned it up to 400F -- and it's not even close to empty, so that's not it. Could it be that I need to clean or replace the coil this quickly? My juice is an extreme gunker.

I assure you, there are no "clouds" at 390F or even 400F -- "wisps" would be more accurate. I'm still tootling merrily.

    Not me ! ! !
    Seems like the longer I've been vaping, the more I realize that 'the more things change ... the more they stay the same'. So if it just vapes the same as what I already use ... why bother?!?
