buying regulated mod, have a few questions

[jwjordan322]

So this coming friday I'll be making a purchase of my first regulated mod. It will most likely be a 50w mod.

I just have a few questions I'm confused about.

On the ipv2 for example it says
Input voltage: 3.2-3.7v
And on the sigelei
Input voltage: 3.2-4.2

Is this referring to the amount of volts it is capable of receiving from the battery? Would this effect the battery I would buy? Just don't fully understand that.

As well, was just on steam-engine.org. looking at the ohm calculator playing with numbers. It makes sense of allot of things but one thing confuses me.

Amp limits.. Is that referring to the battery I'm using? Because i have looked at a few dif mods specs after seeing that and only one had a amp limit listed. None of the others did. I assume that means the minimal amp rated battery I can use.

I have my eyes on the ipv2 or
sigelei 50w or 100

Any other popular 50w regulated mods around 100$ or less, with a good reputation anyone would suggest? Id really like to be able to charge with micro usb without taking the battery out.
I'm mostly concerned with above questions though Since I can't find that info anywhere

Thanks in advance

Anybody? Those are the only 2 things I'm concerned with and don't quite understand.

Kinda stuck on:
Sigelei 100w+
Or
Ipv3

Any positive reviews with either? + being able to charge through the micro USB.. If it safe \ ok to do?

 

[jwjordan322]

Any input anybody?

My only suggestion regarding batteries is to use the very best, highest amperage rated batteries. Sony VTC and Samsung are all I use in my high wattage regulated mods (Sigelei 100w and Cloupor 30w Hana clone). Makes no sense to skimp a few bucks on batteries - it's inexpensive peace-of-mind.

The input voltage refers to charging it through usb. That's the voltage it will take for charging. As for the amp limit of batteries, it's not really a concern with regulated mods, only mech mods. I would still buy the best ones available though

 

[fire810]

The Sigelei is a great choice but for like 10-15 bucks more go ahead and get the 100 watt or take a look at the 53 watt Lotus Jellyfish i have them both and they are both awesome mods.

 

[jwjordan322]

100 watt or 100w+? I like the looks off the 100+ and have steered that way for the minimal price increase.

 

[Markill]

I highly doubt you'll be using 100+ watts. The main reason to buy a 100+w mod is the extra battery life. If you do end up vaping 100 watts, I'm very impressed, both by your lungs and your ability to not burn your wick

 

[jwjordan322]

So with 3.2-4.2 does that mean I can charge from a wall plug in with usb safely? I would ideally Like to be able to charge without buying battery chargers

 

[Markill]

yup, it means you'll be able to keep the batteries in the mod and charge them via wall plug and usb

 

[jwjordan322]

And I deff dont plan on using all 100w. But I feel a 50 might limit me potentially. . I'd hate to want 10 note watts and not be able to have it. And the extra battery is ideal doing carpentry work and not being able to charge at work

 

[jwjordan322]

yup, it means you'll be able to keep the batteries in the mod and charge them via wall plug and usb

Awesome! And that is safe and not frowned on by the manufacture

 

[Markill]

I will qualify a previous answer of mine: you should still use high drain batteries, since you think you'll be pushing 50+ watts

 

[jwjordan322]

Yes will deff use the high drain battery. Safe to charge through the usb though. . Yes?

 

[Dampmaskin]

The standard for USB chargers is 5.0 V.

I'm guessing that the mod doesn't have step-down, so they took the 4.2 V max battery voltage, and adjusted it down to the specified minimum output voltage of the mod, which just happens to correspond to the nominal voltage of the battery, 3.7 V, in order to make the specs add up.

You'll have no problem using a fully charged battery in the mod, but it will not go as low as 3.7 V until the battery is halfway drained.

Unless I'm mistaken, and the mod actually does have step-down. Does it have the SX330 or the SX350 chip?

 

[staticmotion]

Wasn't the Sigelei 100+ the one with no USB charging?

 

[jwjordan322]

The 100w has theYihi SX330 v3..and ughh no usb.. but did just a 150 for 109.99 I keep seeing people day the 100+ is around 70$ but all I see is 100

 

[jwjordan322]

Wasn't the Sigelei 100+ the one with no USB charging?

Your right. Do any of the sigeleis have the usb charging available? I could have sworn I saw it on one.. but now none im looking at show one

 

[fire810]

No they do not using 18650 batts you are much better off if the device does not have it much safer and reliable charging on a charger meant for that task.

 

[Kloverz158]

Your right. Do any of the sigeleis have the usb charging available? I could have sworn I saw it on one.. but now none im looking at show one

Yes the Sigelei mini 50 can be charge via usb with 1 18650.
