1100mah auto DAV with 2.3ohm wow on load at start-

3.2v- 3.22v
3.7v- 3.73v
4.2v- 4.21v
4.8v- 4.80v

After an hour of vaping-

3.2v- 3.22v
3.7v- 3.73v
4.2v- 4.21v
4.8v- 4.75v

No real surprises here, falls right in line with the manual testing. After 2 hours-

3.2v- 3.22v
3.7v- 3.73v
4.2v- 4.21v
4.8v- 4.68v

After 3 hours-

3.2v- 3.22v
3.7v- 3.73v
4.2v- 4.21v
4.8v- 4.60v

Was a little surprised to see it still at 4.6v, didn't change my vaping rate at all during the hour. After 4 hours-

3.2v- 3.22v
3.7v- 3.73v
4.2v- 4.20v
4.8v- 4.53v

Still only the top end voltage affected, just like with the manual DAV's. On to hour 5-

3.2v- 3.22v
3.7v- 3.72v
4.2v- 4.20v
4.8v- 4.41v

No real surprises again. After hour 6-

3.2v- 3.21v
3.7v- 3.73v
4.2v- 4.21v
4.8v- 4.30v

After 6 hours still hitting 4.3v on load, this was a bit of a surprise. Did the final test at hour 7 just like with the manual version-

3.2v- 3.21v
3.7v- 3.73v
4.2v- 4.19v
4.8v- 4.19v

On to the cool cart 3.3ohm tests.....

Decided to do an 8 hour run on this go round. The 1100mah DAV could still perform well after 8 hours as you'll see, but don't think anyone wants to sit through 12 hours of testing.

1100mah auto DAV with 3.3ohm wow on load at start-

3.2v- 3.23v
3.7v- 3.73v
4.2v- 4.22v
4.8v- 4.81v

After an hour of vaping-

3.2v- 3.23v
3.7v- 3.73v
4.2v- 4.22v
4.8v- 4.77v

Eerily similar to the manual numbers. After 2 hours-

3.2v- 3.23v
3.7v- 3.73v
4.2v- 4.22v
4.8v- 4.75v

Another run very much like that of it's manual counterpart. Here's what's going on after 3-

3.2v- 3.23v
3.7v- 3.73v
4.2v- 4.22v
4.8v- 4.72v

Seeing a pattern here? After 4 hours-

3.2v- 3.23v
3.7v- 3.73v
4.2v- 4.22v
4.8v- 4.68v

On to hour 5-

3.2v- 3.23v
3.7v- 3.73v
4.2v- 4.22v
4.8v- 4.62v

There's been little variance in comparison to the manual, only a .1 voltage difference at the highest setting thus far. Hour 6-

3.2v- 3.23v
3.7v- 3.73v
4.2v- 4.22v
4.8v- 4.57v

On to hour 7-

3.2v- 3.23v
3.7v- 3.73v
4.2v- 4.22v
4.8v- 4.49v

Hour 8 would be the last run. Until the other sizes are released this will be the last voltage testing on the auto DAV's for a bit-

3.2v- 3.23v
3.7v- 3.73v
4.2v- 4.22v
4.8v- 4.41v

The numbers speak for themselves, as with the manual version the 3.0+ohm sc cartos will give you the longest run time and best voltage holding of the options.

1100mah auto DAV with 2.5ohm Smileomizer on load at start-

3.2v- 3.22v
3.7v- 3.73v
4.2v- 4.21v
4.8v- 4.80v

After an hour of normal heavy vaping--

3.2v- 3.22v
3.7v- 3.73v
4.2v- 4.21v
4.8v- 4.76v

Not that different from the wow cartos, but due to how close the ohms are not surprised. After 2 hours-

3.2v- 3.22v
3.7v- 3.73v
4.2v- 4.21v
4.8v- 4.70v

After 3 hours-

3.2v- 3.22v
3.7v- 3.73v
4.2v- 4.22v
4.8v- 4.61v

Still keeping up the trend of being close to the same performance as the wow cartos. After 4 hours-

3.2v- 3.22v
3.7v- 3.73v
4.2v- 4.21v
4.8v- 4.55v

After 5 hours-

3.2v- 3.22v
3.7v- 3.72v
4.2v- 4.20v
4.8v- 4.44v

After hour 6-

3.2v- 3.21v
3.7v- 3.73v
4.2v- 4.21v
4.8v- 4.33v

Slightly better voltage holding with the Smileomizer, but nothing too unexpected. Did the final run at 7 hours to keep consistency-

3.2v- 3.21v
3.7v- 3.73v
4.2v- 4.20v
4.8v- 4.22v

Up next will be the 650mah DAV auto with 1.5ohm DC cartos....

The 650mah auto DAV-

Just like the 1100mah version, the voltages are now 3.2-4.8v with 3.7v and 4.2v also being marked. Just as with the 1100mah version, the draw is very much like that of a king diamond/vapor titan manual. There's something else that stuck out on this model, which we'll get into as the test goes on, that also showed great improvement. The only complain was the cut off time. Measured it at 6.1 seconds.

Off load voltages-

3.2v- 3.21v
3.7v- 3.73v
4.2v- 4.24v
4.8v- 4.81v

All within range off load. As stated earlier will be using the 1.5ohm dc cartos for on load testing this round. On load at start-

3.2- 3.21v
3.7- 3.73v
4.2- 3.91v
4.8- 3.91v

The amp limit on this pv at full charge was 2.7a, exactly the same as that of it's manual counterpart. Here are the numbers after 1 hour of the normal heavy vaping-

3.2- 3.21v
3.7- 3.71v
4.2- 3.85v
4.8- 3.85v

Here was the interesting part, not much voltage drop at all after the first hour. Because of what I thought was an abnormal result, recharged the battery and ran it again. Got very similar results (4.2 and 4.8v being 3.84v). Checked the ohms on the carto, was still 1.5ohms, and ran the re-ran the test again. Here are the results on the 3rd restart after 1 hour (on load voltages at start never varied)-

3.2- 3.21v
3.7- 3.72v
4.2- 3.85v
4.8- 3.85v

In other words there wasn't an error. Looks like they've further refined the circuitry in the auto DAV. Hour 2 would go to further this theory-

3.2- 3.21v
3.7- 3.70v
4.2- 3.81v
4.8- 3.81v

Didn't make it to hour 3 on this test, at 19:41 into it noticed a distinct drop in vapor production. Ran one last test, battery ended up flashing on me during the 4.8v test-

3.2- 3.20v
3.7- 3.31v
4.2- 3.33v
4.8- .......

After a recharge ran the test again under the same exact conditions, and here were the results-

Hour 1-

3.2- 3.21v
3.7- 3.72v
4.2- 3.84v
4.8- 3.84v

Hour 2-

3.2- 3.22v
3.7- 3.71v
4.2- 3.81v
4.8- 3.81v

19 minutes 33 seconds later-

3.2- 3.20v
3.7- 3.25v
4.2- 3.31v
4.8- 3.31v

In other words what this shows is the latest batch of auto DAV hold their voltage longer than the manuals at the cost of battery life. Makes for a much more consistent vape overall.

The 900mah DAV-

Before anything else, will again touch up on a few of the basics. As with all the other DAV's draw again is near perfect, being much like that of the manual king diamonds/vapor titans. Cut off time was again the lone concern, this one's being 5.7 seconds. It's the only gripe on the long list of positives. Just like with the 650mah DAV auto, the tests show again this pv favors better voltage holding to battery life. On to the tests-

Off load-

3.2v- 3.21v
3.7v- 3.69v
4.2v- 4.22v
4.8v- 4.81v

Voltage numbers at full charge with 1.5ohm dc-

3.3- 3.21v
3.8- 3.69v
4.2- 3.97v
4.8- 3.97v

The amp limit on the 900mah auto was 2.9a just like the manual version, this particular carto had a lower amperage draw than most hence the higher voltage on the upper settings.

Voltage numbers after 1 hour of normal heavy use-

3.2- 3.21v
3.7- 3.68v
4.2- 3.92v
4.8- 3.92v

After 2 hours-

3.2- 3.21v
3.7- 3.68v
4.2- 3.88v
4.8- 3.88v

Again we see a lot of consistency in the voltage again. .1v drop after two hours of heavy use is outstanding when compared to other VV ego type pv's on the market. After 3 hours-

3.2- 3.21v
3.7- 3.68v
4.2- 3.84v
4.8- 3.84v

9 minutes and 32 seconds later experienced a real drop off in performance, hooked it up for one last test-

3.2- 3.19v
3.7- 3.22v
4.2- 3.25v
4.8- 3.25v

Another puff after the testing the battery flashed letting me know it was dead. For a very high majority of people they won't be able to tell the voltage difference until the last 10-13 puffs.

Up next the 1300mah auto DAV with a 1.5ohm DC....

The 1300mah DAV-

Have grown partial to the 1300mah DAV auto version, much like with the manual. All the same reasons apply, with the added bonus of this battery has been exceptional at voltage holding thus far. Only complaint was again the cut off time. Has the lowest of all I've tested thus far at 4.9 seconds.

Off load voltages-

3.2v- 3.23v
3.7v- 3.74v
4.2v- 4.22v
4.8v- 4.83v

On load voltage with the 1.5ohm dc cartos-

3.2- 3.23v
3.7- 3.72v
4.2- 4.13v
4.8- 4.13v

The amp limit on this pv at full charge was 3.2a, just like with the manual version. This translates to the highest potential voltage output of the DAV with the use of DC and low ohm cartos.

Here are the voltage numbers after 1 hour of normal heavy use-

3.2- 3.23v
3.7- 3.72v
4.2- 4.10v
4.8- 4.10v

Just a .3v drop in the top end voltage, a much smaller decrease than it's manual counterpart under the same conditions. After 2 hours-

3.2- 3.23v
3.7- 3.72v
4.2- 4.08v
4.8- 4.08v

Another very minor drop, after 3 hours-

3.2- 3.23v
3.7- 3.72v
4.2- 4.05v
4.8- 4.05v

Hour 4 continues the pattern-

3.2- 3.23v
3.7- 3.72v
4.2- 4.01v
4.8- 4.01v

There wouldn't be an hour 5, 7:11 seconds later noticed a huge drop off in performance, did make it through a final voltage run-

3.2- 3.21v
3.7- 3.21v
4.2- 3.22v
4.8- 3.22v

Simply put the 1300mah auto version has been the best performing DAV thus far. Really looking forward to seeing the rest of the results with this pv. Up next will be the 650mah auto with the 2.0ohm dc cartos.

650mah DAV auto with 2.0ohm DC carto-
On load starting voltage-

3.2- 3.21v
3.7- 3.73v
4.2- 4.01v
4.8- 4.01v

Very similar results on the initial on load testing to it's manual counterpart. That is where the similarities end though. After 1 hour-

3.2- 3.21v
3.7- 3.72v
4.2- 3.98v
4.8- 3.98v

We see very minimal drop again. On to hour 2-

3.2- 3.22v
3.7- 3.71v
4.2- 3.94v
4.8- 3.94v

Still didn't make it to hour 3, at 47 minutes 51 seconds noticed a considerable drop off. Tested it, here are the results-

3.2- 3.20v
3.7- 3.25v
4.2- 3.27v
4.8- 3.27v

Didn't end there though, let it charge for 20 minutes to see if I can get a rough estimate for what the voltage would be right before it crashed. Took a few tries, ended up charging it for 40 minutes with puffs taken in-between, but was finally able to get a good final number before drop (literally 5 puffs after this test concluded voltage took it's usual end of charge droop)-

3.2- 3.21v
3.7- 3.73v
4.2- 3.91v
4.8- 3.91v

Not a bad performance at all. Next up is the 900mah with the DC 2.0ohm cartos.

900mah DAV auto with 2.0ohm DC carto-

On load starting voltage-

3.2- 3.22v
3.7- 3.72v
4.2- 4.09v
4.8- 4.09v

A little lower voltage at start than it's manual counterpart, but same amperage being pulled as the manual. In other words it's the cartos fault for the lower voltage, not the DAV. After 1 hour-

3.2- 3.21v
3.7- 3.72v
4.2- 4.05v
4.8- 4.05v

As expected, there's a very minimal drop again. On to hour 2-

3.2- 3.22v
3.7- 3.72v
4.2- 3.99v
4.8- 3.99v

.1v drop after 2 hours of normal heavy use, nothing to complain about at all. A very high percentage of users won't even notice the drop off. Hour 3-

3.2- 3.22v
3.7- 3.72v
4.2- 3.95v
4.8- 3.95v

Wouldn't make it to hour 4 though, 37 minutes 18 seconds later experienced the usual end of charge drop off-

3.2- 3.21v
3.7- 3.23v
4.2- 3.22v
4.8- 3.22v

Very much what I expected performance wise from the Auto DAV. Will take a consistent vape over battery life any day. Next up is the 1300mah with the DC 2.0ohm cartos.

1300mah DAV auto with 2.0ohm DC carto-

On load starting voltage-

3.2- 3.23v
3.7- 3.71v
4.2- 4.21v
4.8- 4.32v

Very similar results to that of the manual at start, as with the other DAV auto offerings that's where the similarities end. After 1 hour-

3.2- 3.23v
3.7- 3.71v
4.2- 4.21v
4.8- 4.30v

Only a .02v drop off. Nothing even really noticeable at all. On to hour 2-

3.2- 3.23v
3.7- 3.71v
4.2- 4.21v
4.8- 4.28v

Still a minimal drop off. .04v from the start to be exact. After hour 3-

3.2- 3.23v
3.7- 3.71v
4.2- 4.21v
4.8- 4.25v

Largest drop off thus far and again only a few hundredths of volt. After hour 4-

3.2- 3.22v
3.7- 3.71v
4.2- 4.20v
4.8- 4.22v

Still above 4.2v after 4 hours. Wouldn't make it to hour 5 though, after 43 minutes and 43 seconds got the tell tale lack of vapor. Final voltage numbers were no surprise either-

3.2- 3.21v
3.7- 3.21v
4.2- 3.22v
4.8- 3.22v

Didn't last nearly as long as it's manual counterpart, but the exchange is well worth it for the quality of vape given.

Up next is the 650mah with a wow carto at 2.3ohms.

DAV 650mah with a wow carto at 2.2ohms-

At start voltages-

3.2v- 3.21v
3.7v- 3.72v
4.2v- 4.22v
4.8v- 4.81v

Very close to the off load voltages, pretty much as expected with a SC carto. After 1 hour-

3.2v- 3.21v
3.7v- 3.72v
4.2v- 4.22v
4.8v- 4.81v

No change what so ever. Was really looking forward to this test for this reason. Unlike the DC cartos which don't give the full range of voltages the SC do. This really lets the voltage holding quality of the new DAV's (600,900, and 1300mah) shine.

After 2 hours-

3.2v- 3.21v
3.7v- 3.72v
4.2v- 4.22v
4.8v- 4.80v

After 3 hours-

3.2v- 3.21v
3.7v- 3.72v
4.2v- 4.22v
4.8v- 4.80v

At this point decided to post the info on this run a little differently. Instead of giving an hour by hour blow will only list the hours where a significant change took place. With that we skip to hour 5-

3.2v- 3.21v
3.7v- 3.71v
4.2v- 4.22v
4.8v- 4.78v

Next drop would be hour 7 (mind you did the standard rate of testing with these, a normal person's heavy use at 4.3v)-

3.2v- 3.21v
3.7v- 3.72v
4.2v- 4.21v
4.8v- 4.75v

33 minutes and 18 seconds into hour 8 the usual drop off took place at the end-

3.2v- 3.21v
3.7v- 3.22v
4.2v- 3.22v
4.8v- 3.21v

Needless to say much like with the Zeus where it's consistent to the very end, the auto DAV 650mah proved the same. Will have the 900mah testing with a wow carto up tomorrow.

Sorry for the delays on this everyone. Almost all the testing is done (save for the last of the smileo testing), the note translating is the issue (my handwriting is awful, and life keeps getting in the way when I try to sit down and type them out). Anyways...

DAV 900mah with a wow carto at 2.2ohms-

At start voltages-

3.2v- 3.21v
3.7v- 3.73v
4.2v- 4.21v
4.8v- 4.81v

Nothing surprising here to say the least. The trend continues after 1 hour-

3.2v- 3.21v
3.7v- 3.73v
4.2v- 4.21v
4.8v- 4.81v

Just like with the 650mah DAV, no change at all from start to after an hour. Same can be said for after 2-

After 2 hours-

3.2v- 3.21v
3.7v- 3.73v
4.2v- 4.21v
4.8v- 4.81v

We finally do see a change after 3 though-

3.2v- 3.21v
3.7v- 3.72v
4.2v- 4.21v
4.8v- 4.80v

.01v of change. In other words something so un-noticeable it's hardly worth mentioning. Will do like I did with the 650 mah, only report the major voltage drops. After 6 hours-

3.2v- 3.21v
3.7v- 3.72v
4.2v- 4.21v
4.8v- 4.77v

Next drop would be hour 8-

3.2v- 3.21v
3.7v- 3.72v
4.2v- 4.20v
4.8v- 4.74v

16 minutes and 11 seconds into hour 9 the usual drop off took place at the end-

3.2v- 3.21v
3.7v- 3.22v
4.2v- 3.22v
4.8v- 3.21v

Tonight hope to have the 1300 mah and wow carto numbers up. If not hope everyone understands why...
