So I've kinda noticed there isn't much difference between "low" and "high" settings on the battery. I took the DVOM to it to check the battery voltages. I got 4.17v on high and 4.08v on low.
Is the normal? I was looking at the little instruction short it was saying the low setting would regulate voltage to 3.7v. Is my unit defective?
Probably not. The problem is the 'regulated' and 'unregulated' modes of the Joye eGo-c upgrade batt is about 'underload' voltages - when an atty/clearo/carto is attached and you would need more than a multimeter to read those voltages.
You can tell the differences, pretty much, when using a lighter flavor - it should taste better in the regulated mode (white led button) and may taste burnt in the unregulated (orange led button). There's a definite difference. With stronger flavors, it is a bit less detectable. All of this assumes that you're using the same ohms on your atty/clearo/carto of course. The higher the ohms, the harder it may be to detect because of the resultant wattage. Changing volts with 1.8 ohms will be more detectable than a 2.8 ohm coil.
3.4 volts at 1.8 ohms is 6.4 watts.
3.7 volts at 1.8 ohms is 7.6 watts.
A 1.2 watt differnce.
3.4 volts at 2.8 ohms is 4.1 watts.
3.7 volts at 2.8 ohms is 4.9 watts.
A 0.8 watt difference.
Might not seem like a lot but depending on flavor, it can be.
