E-Power voltage

[riverwhiskey]

Got an E-Power a couple of weeks ago. I really like the unit, but got curious and put a volt meter on it and it registers at 3.55v.

This is with a freshly charged 3.7v 3600mah bat. Any thoughts? E-Power is advertised as a true 3.7v PV, but I'm not seeing it. Is this the switch regulating voltage, or do i need better bats? Or is it just a non-issue, the unit does produce a ton of vapor and TH and I am truly satisfied with the output.

What was the voltage of the battery? It sounds like you might have a bad battery, actually.. I have two e-powers now and a spare switch unit (the 14650 version) each one gives me battery voltage when I fire it.. so if my battery is reading 4.1v the e-power gives me 4.1v on my multimeter etc

It doesn't appear to have any regulation going on.. do both freshly charged batteries give you the same reading?

Yes, I do get similar voltages from two batteries. I didn't think to check voltage on the bat's. I will do that. Thanks.

If your using Ultrafire of Trustfire their specs have a major variation in voltage, that's the main reason I switched to AW's, their a lot better battery and maintain consistency across batteries.

I don't know the actual brand. They came with the E-power and are labeled SmokeTec. I did test he voltage on those bats and on a fresh charge they are putting out about 4.2 volts, but the voltage out of the switch(attomizer connection) the voltage is about 3.4-5. Don't know??

Was using a Madvapes volt meter on the atomizer connection, and a multimeter on the bat. decided to try the multimeter on the atomizer fitting. same reading at 3.4 to 3.5 v.
