Well I didn't want to start an argument but with the TC40 it adjusts watts in .1w increments not .1v so at the res. you quoted there would be only about .02 to 0.03 volt change with a .1w adjustment.Too late...
one of my often-visited bookmarked pages
and call me peculiar but when we were using 2.6 ohm coils the 0.5 watt adjustment step did overshoot my desired voltage by too much, hence my preference at that time for vv
naturally, with an 0.1 watt adjustment that point is now moot
I had something strange happen the other day. The M tank and new coil was fine for a day but when I went to vape I got the "no atomizer" on the battery display. When I unscrewed the tank from the battery there was juice on top of the battery. Not in the 510 threads/connection, just sitting on top the battery. Now this was a new tank with very tight air flow control, but now it was very loose. Thought it was shot somehow. Took it apart to save the coil and when I unscrewed the coil it was harder than usual and the o-ring and grommet were wacked out. Cleaned it up, put it all back together, and it's still working fine.
Well not sure what Istick model this started with, but the point was made you can adjust power in .1w increments while with the typical 1.5 ohm coil in voltage control with a .1v change that's about a 0.5W change so finer control of the voltage to the coil in watt mode as you point out (ultimately either mode controls the voltage to the coil). Those figures are true for my istick30w if you're vaping at around 10W on 1.5 ohms, not true at other power levels or resistances, P (w) = V(squared)/Res, or V= Square root[P(w) x Res]. Curious, does the istick40w TC not have a voltage control mode?
1)Not me. Takes a nominal .3 minimum wattage change before I notice a difference in vapor volume or taste.1) Can we really tell the difference in vapor production and quality between, say, 7.1 and 7.2 watts? [I don't think I can.]
2) How do we know that our poor iSticks or Defenders REALLY change the wattage in .1w increments? Or is it just the display that changes in .1w increments?
It doesn't and someone said then it was a no go for them. But my point was you could just look at the small voltage display as you adjust the watts to set it at the volts you prefer. Mox Nix
Ah I see now, thanks. That's exactly what I do on my Istick30 anyway, keep it on power mode to fine tune the vape, and glance at the voltage for fun of it lol. No need for "voltage mode" with it.It doesn't and someone said then it was a no go for them.

changed the mode to watts on her newer mods and therefore had no idea that the 0.5 watt adjustment is, apparently, a thing of the past!
Yes the displays arent calibrated and traceable to the national bureau of standards for sure lol
Proving your point:
The Defender is reading too low and the istick is reading too high. Each off about the same amount. The correct resistance is about 1.23ohms. They should both be reading about 8.1w/3.16v
