Decided to push the 2.5ohm dc cartos to the last test, figured people would want the cool cart (comparable to the 3.0ohm SC cartos) and the wow carto (similar to the 2.0ohm SC cartos) first. Without further ramblings...

The 650 mah DAV with a wow carto at 2.3ohms-

Here are the on load voltages-

3.3- 3.26v
3.8- 3.74v
4.3- 4.28v
4.8- 4.78v

Was a little surprise to see it wasn't the full 4.8v on load, but 4.78v is close enough where 99.9% of people won't notice. Wasn't an amp limitation of any sort. Ran this test 4 times at full charge to see if that was the issue, and each time got 4.77-4.78v on load. Anyways, did these test with the normal heavy vaper technique (1-3 puffs a minute). After an hour here are the voltage numbers-

3.3- 3.26v
3.8- 3.74v
4.3- 4.28v
4.8- 4.63v

Still above 4.6v after an hour, this is a very good sign. It's good .5v higher than any other vv ego I've tested at 650mah under the same conditions. On to hour two-

3.3- 3.26v
3.8- 3.74v
4.3- 4.27v
4.8- 4.49v

Higher end is still the only voltage affected at this point, just a .01v below 4.5v. On to hour 3-

3.3- 3.25v
3.8- 3.72v
4.3- 4.25v
4.8- 4.38v

This time around we see all the voltages start to drop a bit, but nothing to complain about by any means. Up next is hour 4-

3.3- 3.24v
3.8- 3.71v
4.3- 4.21v
4.8- 4.28v

Getting closer to the 4.2v mark. At this point decided to keep testing until the 4.8 notch actual voltage was below 4.0v. Hour 5-

3.3- 3.23v
3.8- 3.68v
4.3- 4.16v
4.8- 4.16v

First time we see both the 4.3v and 4.8v notches are the same. Still hanging out above 4.1v which is good though. Hour 6 up next-

3.3- 3.21v
3.8- 3.66v
4.3- 4.03v
4.8- 4.03v

6 hours in still above 4.0v, even if it's by just a hair. Hour 7 was the last test conducted, but again the DAV 650mah is still very much vapable at this point-

3.3- 3.21v
3.8- 3.65v
4.3- 3.94v
4.8- 3.94v

Up next is the 900mah with a wow carto at 2.3ohms.

The 900mah with a wow carto at 2.3ohms-

Here are the on load voltages (remember this one has the dial issue)-

3.3v- 3.19v
3.8v- 3.6v
4.3v- 4.12v
4.8v- 4.59v
Dial turned as far right as it will go- 4.79v

Just a single hair under the full 4.8v on load. Wasn't an amp limitation just as with the 650mah. Anyways, did these tests with the normal heavy vaper technique (1-3 puffs a minute). After an hour here are the voltage numbers-

3.3v- 3.19v
3.8v- 3.61v
4.3v- 4.12v
4.8v- 4.59v
Dial turned as far right as it will go- 4.71v

Almost a .1v drop after an hour, still sitting above 4.7v. On to hour two-

3.3v- 3.19v
3.8v- 3.6v
4.3v- 4.12v
4.8v- 4.57v
Dial turned as far right as it will go- 4.63v

Hour 3-

3.3v- 3.19v
3.8v- 3.59v
4.3v- 4.12v
4.8v- 4.48v
Dial turned as far right as it will go- 4.55v

Only voltage affected thus far is the top end voltage. The 3.8v notch for whatever reason keeps fluctuating, not sure why. Up next is hour four-

3.3v- 3.19v
3.8v- 3.6v
4.3v- 4.11v
4.8v- 4.38v
Dial turned as far right as it will go- 4.42v

Still above the 4.2v mark, simply fantastic after 4 hours. Hour five-

3.3v- 3.18v
3.8v- 3.59v
4.3v- 4.11v
4.8v- 4.21v
Dial turned as far right as it will go- 4.33v

Hour 6-

3.3v- 3.17v
3.8v- 3.56v
4.3v- 4.10v
4.8v- 4.17v
Dial turned as far right as it will go- 4.19v

6 hours in and finally now seeing a level under 4.2v on the highest setting. Due to work, and the fact it's held up it's voltage so well on normal heavy use decided to stop there. Working on the 1100mah notes as we speak.

Here are the results for both the 1100mah and 1300mah DAV's. With the 1100mah did a 7 hour run, the 1300mah an 8. Both batts could be ran longer than this with how I adjusted my vaping pace for the testing, but saw no real benefit to conducting a full out test. Most people won't be running these to the blink unless they're away from a charger for an extended period of time, or vape like I normally do when not testing. Anyways.

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

3.3v- 3.26v
3.8v- 3.82v
4.3v- 4.29v
4.8v- 4.80v

Finally see one at 4.8v on load, not that many will notice the difference between 4.79 and 4.8, just something to mark. After an hour of vaping-

3.3v- 3.26v
3.8v- 3.82v
4.3v- 4.29v
4.8v- 4.74v

No change again save for the highest setting. After 2 hours-

3.3v- 3.26v
3.8v- 3.82v
4.3v- 4.28v
4.8v- 4.66v

Minimal change again, only the highest voltage being affected. After 3-

3.3v- 3.26v
3.8v- 3.81v
4.3v- 4.29v
4.8v- 4.55v

Largest voltage drop thus far, but still only affecting the highest voltage. After 4 hours-

3.3v- 3.25v
3.8v- 3.82v
4.3v- 4.26v
4.8v- 4.45v

See a slight change in the 4.3v setting, but again mainly it's the top end affected. On to hour 5-

3.3v- 3.25v
3.8v- 3.78v
4.3v- 4.23v
4.8v- 4.34v

Every setting took a drop, though still the top end setting experiencing the most. Still above 4.3v though. Hour 6-

3.3v- 3.24v
3.8v- 3.76v
4.3v- 4.21v
4.8v- 4.22v

The 4.3 and 4.8 settings are almost the same at this point, only .1v separates them. Still 6 hours and above 4.2v is nothing to balk at with a vv ego type device. Final test at hour 7-

3.3v- 3.23v
3.8v- 3.75v
4.3v- 4.15v
4.8v- 4.15v

All in all another great showing. On to the 1300mah DAV...

1300mah DAV with 2.3ohm wow carto-

3.3v- 3.27v
3.8v- 3.80v
4.3v- 4.29v
4.8v- 4.81v

Almost exactly what the off load voltages were with this pv. After an hour-

3.3v- 3.27v
3.8v- 3.81v
4.3v- 4.29v
4.8v- 4.76v

Not much change at all. After 2 hours we get-

3.3v- 3.27v
3.8v- 3.81v
4.3v- 4.29v
4.8v- 4.71v

Still above 4.7v at the 4.8v setting, not bad at all. After 3-

3.3v- 3.27v
3.8v- 3.80v
4.3v- 4.29v
4.8v- 4.65v

Again only the highest setting is affected. After 4 hours-

3.3v- 3.26v
3.8v- 3.81v
4.3v- 4.28v
4.8v- 4.57v

No surprises here. Hour 5-

3.3v- 3.26v
3.8v- 3.80v
4.3v- 4.28v
4.8v- 4.42v

First big drop we've seen thus far, still above the 4.4v mark though. Hour 6-

3.3v- 3.26v
3.8v- 3.79v
4.3v- 4.26v
4.8v- 4.33v

All numbers are down slightly this time around, with the 4.8v setting hit hardest. Still the performance has been superior in every way to the other size DAV's. On to hour 7-

3.3v- 3.26v
3.8v- 3.78v
4.3v- 4.23v
4.8v- 4.25v

4.8v is still running hotter than the 4.3v setting, not by my much, but still. Final test at hour 8-

3.3v- 3.25v
3.8v- 3.77v
4.3v- 4.18v
4.8v- 4.18v

What more can be said than that? Am conducting the 650mah with a cool cart at 3.3ohms as we speak.

The DAV 650mah with cool carts at 3.3ohms-

Here are the on load voltages-

3.3- 3.26v
3.8- 3.74v
4.3- 4.28v
4.8- 4.79v

No surprise, same numbers as with the wow cartos save for an extra .1v on load at the 4.8 setting. Only going to do seven hours worth of test numbers with this to try and keep it consistent with the previous. It will still be vapable afterwards as you'll see. Did these test with the normal heavy vaper technique (1-3 puffs a minute). After an hour here are the voltage numbers-

3.3- 3.26v
3.8- 3.74v
4.3- 4.28v
4.8- 4.74v

Very little drop off, which was expected. Higher ohms means less amps, which means the battery should not only last longer but also maintain it's voltage better. On to hour two-

3.3- 3.26v
3.8- 3.74v
4.3- 4.28v
4.8- 4.67v

Again not much change at this point, still above 4.65v on the highest setting. On to hour 3-

3.3- 3.26v
3.8- 3.74v
4.3- 4.27v
4.8- 4.54v

First significant drop off, but still above 4.5v. Only other setting affected slightly (.01v) is the 4.3 setting. Up next is hour 4-

3.3- 3.25v
3.8- 3.73v
4.3- 4.26v
4.8- 4.46v

Not much change and no surprises. Literally getting what I expected from this test. Hour 5-

3.3- 3.25v
3.8- 3.72v
4.3- 4.26v
4.8- 4.35v

Still the only voltage really affected is the 4.8v setting. Hour 6 up next-

3.3- 3.24v
3.8- 3.72v
4.3- 4.25v
4.8- 4.25v

6 hours in still above 4.2v. First time we see both the 4.3v and 4.8v setting match. Hour 7 was the last test conducted, as stated earlier. Again the DAV 650mah is still very much vapable at this point-

3.3- 3.23v
3.8- 3.71v
4.3- 4.18v
4.8- 4.18v

Up next is the 900mah with a cool cart at 3.3ohms.

Doing 7 hours of info for this test, just like with the 650 mah batt you'll see it's very much vapable at the end of it.

The 900mah with a wow carto at 3.3ohms-

Here are the on load voltages (remember this one has the dial issue)-

3.3v- 3.19v
3.8v- 3.6v
4.3v- 4.12v
4.8v- 4.60v
Dial turned as far right as it will go- 4.79v

No real changesb here, and no surprises. After one hour-

3.3v- 3.19v
3.8v- 3.60v
4.3v- 4.12v
4.8v- 4.59v
Dial turned as far right as it will go- 4.76v

No real drop to even speak of. On to hour two-

3.3v- 3.19v
3.8v- 3.6v
4.3v- 4.12v
4.8v- 4.58v
Dial turned as far right as it will go- 4.71v

Two hours in and still above 4.7v. Not much more else to say. Hour 3-

3.3v- 3.19v
3.8v- 3.59v
4.3v- 4.12v
4.8v- 4.60v
Dial turned as far right as it will go- 4.66v

Only voltage affected thus far is the top end voltage, and only by a little more than .1v. The 3.8v has kept up it's fluctuating ways. Up next is hour four-

3.3v- 3.19v
3.8v- 3.6v
4.3v- 4.12v
4.8v- 4.55v
Dial turned as far right as it will go- 4.58v

Still above the 4.5v mark, not much difference in the 4.8v and all the way up on this pv though. Hour five-

3.3v- 3.19v
3.8v- 3.6v
4.3v- 4.12v
4.8v- 4.43v
Dial turned as far right as it will go- 4.47v

First big drop off thus far. Still above 4.4v though. On to hour 6-

3.3v- 3.18v
3.8v- 3.59v
4.3v- 4.11v
4.8v- 4.31v
Dial turned as far right as it will go- 4.33v

6 hours in and still above 4.3v. This has me really looking forward to the results of it's bigger brethren. The final test was conducted at hour 7-

3.3v- 3.18v
3.8v- 3.59v
4.3v- 4.11v
4.8v- 4.18v
Dial turned as far right as it will go- 4.2v

Up next will be the 1100mah DAV.

Just as before keeping this to a 7 hour run. The 1100mah DAV could very much still perform after those 7 hours as you'll see. Without further to do...

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

3.3v- 3.26v
3.8v- 3.82v
4.3v- 4.29v
4.8v- 4.80v

Same exact numbers as the wow at 2.3ohms, which is truly no surprise at all. After an hour of vaping-

3.3v- 3.26v
3.8v- 3.82v
4.3v- 4.29v
4.8v- 4.77v

Only the slightest of changes at the 4.8v setting. After 2 hours-

3.3v- 3.26v
3.8v- 3.82v
4.3v- 4.28v
4.8v- 4.75v

No real change at all, only a .2v drop on the 4.8v setting. Let's see what's going on after 3-

3.3v- 3.26v
3.8v- 3.82v
4.3v- 4.29v
4.8v- 4.71v

Still above the 4.7v mark after 3 hours of normal heavy use. Needless to say the 1100mah DAV is performing beautifully with the 3.3ohm cool carts. 4 hours in-

3.3v- 3.25v
3.8v- 3.82v
4.3v- 4.29v
4.8v- 4.67v

Another minimal dropping and only on the highest setting. On to hour 5-

3.3v- 3.26v
3.8v- 3.82v
4.3v- 4.28v
4.8v- 4.61v

Largest drop thus far, but still above 4.6v. Nothing much more to say than on to hour 6-

3.3v- 3.26v
3.8v- 3.81v
4.3v- 4.29v
4.8v- 4.55v

Six hours and the only number affected still is the 4.8v setting and still above 4.5v. Needless to say if you want your DAV to last you all day even at the highest setting the 3.0ohm sc cartos for tanks and cool carts are the way to go. Final test, hour 7-

3.3v- 3.26v
3.8v- 3.82v
4.3v- 4.28v
4.8v- 4.47v

Largest drop yet, but still very close to 4.5v. Will have the numbers up of both the 1300mah DAV with cool carts and the final test of the 650mah DAV with the 2.5ohm DC cartos tomorrow.

The final test for the cool carts. Feel kind of sad, only one more to go with each batt (well technically only the 900mah and above ones, already completed the 650mah just need to translate my notes on it). There were no surprises at all with this batt. As before it's the best performer of the DAV's.

1300mah DAV with 3.3ohm cool cart-

3.3v- 3.27v
3.8v- 3.81v
4.3v- 4.29v
4.8v- 4.81v

Exactly the same as the off load voltages were. After an hour-

3.3v- 3.27v
3.8v- 3.81v
4.3v- 4.29v
4.8v- 4.79v

No real change at all, a .2v drop after 1 hour of use. After 2 hours-

3.3v- 3.27v
3.8v- 3.81v
4.3v- 4.29v
4.8v- 4.77v

No real change again. Another .2v drop in voltage. After 3 hours-

3.3v- 3.27v
3.8v- 3.81v
4.3v- 4.29v
4.8v- 4.74v

Biggest drop yet, of only .3v though on the 4.8v setting, so really not a drop at all. Here we are after 4 hours-

3.3v- 3.27v
3.8v- 3.81v
4.3v- 4.29v
4.8v- 4.71v

Still above the 4.7v mark. Simply astounding. Hour 5-

3.3v- 3.27v
3.8v- 3.80v
4.3v- 4.29v
4.8v- 4.66v

.5v more than the 1100mah at the same time period with the same style of vaping. 3.8v dropped (tested it 4 times) can't explain why. Hour 6-

3.3v- 3.27v
3.8v- 3.81v
4.3v- 4.29v
4.8v- 4.61v

6 hours in, still above 4.6v. Another great showing from the 1300mah DAV. Hour 7-

3.3v- 3.28v
3.8v- 3.81v
4.3v- 4.29v
4.8v- 4.56v

Not sure why the 3.3 setting went up by .1 volts, but it did. 4.8 setting still over 4.5v. With that said, final test at hour 8-

3.3v- 3.27v
3.8v- 3.81v
4.3v- 4.29v
4.8v- 4.49v

.1v below 4.5v. For fun hooked up a cool cart at 3.0ohms to it at this point just to see what the on load numbers would be-

3.3v- 3.27v
3.8v- 3.81v
4.3v- 4.29v
4.8v- 4.48v

A .1v difference on load, let's see what happens after an hour-

3.3v- 3.27v
3.8v- 3.81v
4.3v- 4.29v
4.8v- 4.43v

So even with the .3ohms lower load, we results that fall right in line with previous ones.

Up next will be the 650mah DAV with the 2.5ohm DC cartos.

The 650 mah DAV with the 2.5ohm DC cartos-

Here are the on load voltages-

3.3- 3.22v
3.8- 3.66v
4.3- 4.22v
4.8- 4.36v

Stlight bump in the maximum voltage in comparison to the other DC cartos. Still not as much voltage range as the SC cartos though. After 1 hour-

3.3- 3.22v
3.8- 3.65v
4.3- 4.19v
4.8- 4.19v

After an hour the 4.3v and 4.8v setting are the same, no big surprise there. After two hours-

3.3- 3.21v
3.8- 3.63v
4.3- 4.02v
4.8- 4.02v

Very similar numbers drop wise to the other DC cartos, though still above 4v after 2 hours of normal heavy use. On to hour 3-

3.3- 3.19v
3.8- 3.59v
4.3- 3.85v
4.8- 3.85v

Again no surprises. The next test would be the final with the 2.5ohm DC cartos and the 650mah DAV. Was still vapable, but just as with the other test decided to stop once it hit the 3.7v range on the 4.8v setting-

3.3- 3.18v
3.8- 3.57v
4.3- 3.73v
4.8- 3.73v

Up next will be the 900mah with the 2.5ohm DC cartos. Currently working on it as we speak.

The 900mah DAV with 2.5ohm DC cartos-

On load numbers-

3.3- 3.18v
3.8- 3.64v
4.3- 4.09v
4.8- 4.39v
Dial turned all the way to the right- 4.39v

Slightly higher than the 650mah DAV, but on par with what I expected. Even though the wow carto had lower ohms, it was a single coil so wasn't pulling nearly as many amps as the 2.5ohm DC carto. That's why you're seeing a lower output voltage on load vs. the wow carto. After one hour-

3.3- 3.18v
3.8- 3.64v
4.3- 4.09v
4.8- 4.25v
Up all the way- 4.25v

Again on par with expectations. Am happy to report it's still above 4.2v on the highest setting. After 2 hours-

3.3- 3.18v
3.8- 3.63v
4.3- 4.05v
4.8- 4.11v
Up all the way- 4.11v

Still above 4.1v, though only slightly. On to hour 3-

3.3- 3.17v
3.8- 3.61v
4.3- 3.87v
4.8- 3.93v
Up all the way- 3.93v

Slightly better numbers in comparison to the 2.0 ohm DC cartos under the same conditions on this batt. Only problem is with the 2.5ohm DC you really start to notice when it drops down below 4.0v. While the voltage says still vapable, taste doesn't. With that said, on to the 4 hour mark-

3.3- 3.15v
3.8- 3.55v
4.3- 3.84v
4.8- 3.84v
Up all the way- 3.84v

Again no surprises. Still above the 3.8v mark. Did one final test run at hour 5-

3.3- 3.13v
3.8- 3.48v
4.3- 3.71v
4.8- 3.71v
Up all the way- 3.71v

Up next will be the 1100mah DAV. Ran into a few issues during the first run, hoping to have it done today, posted tomorrow. Carto died and had to find another at exactly 2.5ohms to continue the test. Replacement carto went bad during the testing, the ohms dropping to 2.1 sometime in hour 4 of testing so had to restart it with a new carto.

Sorry for the delay on getting the results up, sadly was without my computer as most of you know. Have been on here, but it's very hard to post (especially info like this) from swpye. Without further ado, DAV 1100mah-

Voltage numbers at full charge with 2.5ohm dc-

3.3- 3.27v
3.8- 3.82v
4.3- 4.29v
4.8- 4.44v

The 1100mah finally broke the 4.4v mark with a dual coil. Here are the results after 1 hour of use-

3.3- 3.27v
3.8- 3.82v
4.3- 4.29v
4.8- 4.38v

Not a major drop off which somewhat surprised me. Had me pondering what hour 2 results would be, and was not disappointed-

3.3- 3.27v
3.8- 3.82v
4.3- 4.28v
4.8- 4.31v

On to hour 3, first time we see the 4.3v and 4.8v voltages match-

3.3- 3.27v
3.8- 3.81v
4.3- 4.21v
4.8- 4.21v

Still holding above 4.2v but barely. Hour 4 is next-

3.3- 3.26v
3.8- 3.82v
4.3- 4.05v
4.8- 4.05v

Here we see another large drop off in voltage. Hour five would prove to be similar-

3.3- 3.26v
3.8- 3.76v
4.3- 3.88v
4.8- 3.88v

The trend continues in hour 6, wouldn't be the last run though-

3.3- 3.25v
3.8- 3.66v
4.3- 3.77v
4.8- 3.77v

Hour 7 gets that honor-

3.3- 3.23v
3.8- 3.54v
4.3- 3.63v
4.8- 3.63v

Up next will be the 1300mah, final test run of the DAV's for the time being... :)

Somewhat bittersweet moment. Know they'll be more new items to test in the near future, just always somewhat sad when all the early testing is done. Long term tests will still be done as the batteries age to see how well they're holding up, but that of course takes time. So here it is, the DAV 1300mah manual with the 2.5ohm DC cartos-

DAV 1300mah-

Voltage numbers at full charge with 2.5ohm dc-

3.3- 3.26v
3.8- 3.82v
4.3- 4.31v
4.8- 4.52v

Only DAV to hit the 4.5v mark with a DC carto. After an hour-

3.3- 3.27v
3.8- 3.82v
4.3- 4.31v
4.8- 4.45v

Still sitting at a higher voltage after an hour of use than the 1100mah was at start. On to hour 2-

3.3- 3.26v
3.8- 3.81v
4.3- 4.31v
4.8- 4.33v

As we see the 4.8v setting is still slightly higher than the 4.3v setting, though not by much. Still out performing every other DAV in these tests thus far, but no real surprise. Hour 3-

3.3- 3.27v
3.8- 3.81v
4.3- 4.21v
4.8- 4.21v

First real big drop we've seen along with both the 4.3 and 4.8 setting being the same. Hour 4 is next-

3.3- 3.26v
3.8- 3.80v
4.3- 4.12v
4.8- 4.12v

4 hours in, still above the 4.1v setting. Hour 5-

3.3- 3.26v
3.8- 3.80v
4.3- 4.01v
4.8- 4.01v

Nothing to complain about at all strictly numbers wise. As stated before with the 2.5ohm DC cartos unlike it's brethren they need more voltage to really shine. It was after this test the flavor wasn't what I wanted at it's highest setting. Hour 6-

3.3- 3.25v
3.8- 3.78v
4.3- 3.89v
4.8- 3.89v

Still a slow consistent drop up until this point. Hour 7 would prove different, seeing the first big droop of the tests-

3.3- 3.24v
3.8- 3.67v
4.3- 3.78v
4.8- 3.78v

Hour 8 would be the last test done before putting it back on the charger-

3.3- 3.18v
3.8- 3.54v
4.3- 3.68v
4.8- 3.68v

All in all a great showing. In a few months will retouch up on the DAV manual's. Thank you all for reading and patience.
 
Good Sir Morandir,

I just ordered a 1300mah DAV with a 3.5ml tank and I ordered some 2ohm SC replacement Cartos. Should I have ordered DC instead? Or maybe 3ohm SC or 3ohm DC? I like getting the strongest hit possible but I'm a little unsure of which Carto is best for that. I'm not great at understanding this math.

Thanks for any advice.
