I don't understand why I keep seeing posts that this device won't regulate voltage below 4.0v when it seems to on mine. It appears to only regulate to 4.0v when the battery is at or above 4.0v, but if the battery is below 4.0v it regulates to any setting above battery voltage. For example, my battery is at 3.62v and I have a coil resistance of 1.53 and have it set to 10w power output. It fires at 3.92v and continues to fire at that voltage as the battery drains further. If I lower the wattage, it will regulate the voltage output down (and appears to be accurate) until it reaches the current battery level or goes below battery level. If I lower wattage to a point that the voltage is below current battery voltage it will fire at current battery voltage. So, at least on mine it seems to be regulating above battery voltage when the battery drops below 4.0v?

Seems like the regulation programming is it will fire 4.0v or higher when the source voltage is above 4.0v OR will regulate to any voltage above source voltage when the source voltage is below 4.0v. BTW, the ohm reading will still flash when the regulated voltage is below 4.0v, but that just seems to be a hard coded number that tells the display to flash at anything below 4.0v and doesn't really affect the devices ability to regulate under these conditions.

I don't have a Hana V3 to see if this behavior is the same. Could someone with a Hana see if this acts the same on the original?

Maybe I'm wrong, but I've checked this many times over the past few days with different batteries at different discharge levels and this behavior is consistent and repeatable. I'm using an inline volt meter, maybe not the most accurate, but it matches very closely with measured battery voltage on a Fluke meter. If this is true this is a huge difference for me since I prefer builds around 1.5ohms and around 10 watts.

I would appreciate if others would check this on their clone also and let me know if this is true.
its going to take me a little bit to decrypt what you are saying and do some testing with a multi. ill let you know my results when I get to it :) now time for a jog

Yes Steam, it still flashes the ohm reading, but the voltage is regulated if you measure it. At least on mine. I have the Genome 30 from A to Z Vapor World, which I believe to be the same Cloupor 30watt mod by the looks both outside and inside.
so if the batt is at 3.6 and you have it set for 3.9 it will still maintain that 3.9 instead of dumping the batt voltage at 3.6?

I still have yet for mine 2545. then again it was a black and a green, so maybe they are waiting to ship both at once.

Perhaps you could ask if they can ship the Black by itself. When I saw higher #'s than mine on their spreadsheet I dropped a little hint and voila mine showed as shipped the next day.
 
Hello received my clobe from 101 two weeks ago, its pretty damn great the only down fall in my eyes is the regulation error and resistance/voltage reading issue. My sx350 definitely blows it out of the water though. It may not be as spiffy looking as the hana but it rips and regulates like a boss! Heres a 1402786142154.jpg pic

My battery currently shows half charge and at 12w on a 1ohm coil it's saying the voltage is 3.4 and it's blinking but firing great. Nice smooth vape.

"Half charge" is kinda meaningless unless you know what half charge is on your device. You would need to take your battery out and put it on a meter. I would guesstimate half charge is around 3.7 volts. The voltage needed to drive a 1.0 ohm coil at 12 Watts is only 3.4 though. So given that information, it's flashing because it's sending 3.7 volts to your atomizer not 3.4, as these mods, and the dna 30's as well, cannot step the voltage down.

I just put in an identical battery with 4.1 volts. same readings and reaction at 12w. blinking 3.4 volts but fires fine.

As he explained above, the chip can't step down the voltage so it's putting out more voltage than required which is why the resistance is flashing. Increase the power and the flashing will stop

It's doing so as designed Varelse. If the required voltage for your wattage is below what the charge of the battery is, the device will flash to warn you that it's firing at the lowest voltage it can, which is the current level of your battery, but that this voltage is higher so you are are actually getting more power output than requested. That's why it flashes. Because it cannot step down, ie change the voltage output from 3.7, the level of your battery, down to the voltage needed to produce your requested 12 watts, which is 3.4. I cannot explain it any clearer than this. Working as intended and designed.

I'm just adding data to Jazzman's post. Interpret it however. I'm not concerned so long as the device works as it should at 15+w.

Varelse we are trying to tell you IT'S NOT A BUG!. All DNA30 devices do this as well. If you cannot understand this functionality maybe you shouldn't be using an advanced mod.
