hi all,
i wanted to test the voltage readings of the Precious LV2 but soon realised that i would need to do it differently to how i test my Provari
when placing the voltmeter connections on just the positive and negatives of the Precious i was getting some readings that didnt really make much sense:-
Precious set to 6v - actual reading 7.4v
Precious set to 5v - actual reading 6.86v
Precious set to 4v - actual reading 6.23v
Precious set to 3v - actual reading 5.49v
Precious set to 2v - actual reading 4.7v
Precious set to 1v - actual reading 3.88v
im not an electronics expert what so ever, but i knew that i was doing something wrong! lol
so i spoke to a friend of mine who explained that unlike the Provari, the Precious would only give an accurate reading when placed under load.......in other words, with an atomiser attached.
but with an atomiser attached its not possible to use the voltmeter as the positive terminal of the atty connection is blocked by the atomiser.
so he then suggested i try and adapt a tornado charging extender which would then allow me access to the positive connection whilst still having an atomiser attached.........and it worked a treat
so with the gadget screwed in place and using a 2 oHm atomiser i now get the following readings which seem a lot more accurate:-
Precious set to 6v - actual reading 5.23v
Precious set to 5v - actual reading 4.55v
Precious set to 4v - actual reading 3.68v
Precious set to 3v - actual reading 2.7v
Precious set to 2v - actual reading 1.8v
Precious set to 1v - actual reading 0.97v
the gadget can also be used to check the voltage under load of any other device which has a 510 connection too!
the provari i believe has electronics that read the resistance of the atomiser and then adjusts the voltage accordingly, but im sure that with regards to the Precious or any other VV device without that feature then this could be a handy little tool.
obviously im sure there will be plenty of variables that could change the readings slightly (batteries used, battery charge remaining, resistance of atomiser etc etc) but its definitely a lot more accurate than taking the readings without the atomiser attached.
please note!!! if you are going to take the voltage readings on a Precious LV2 then you need to connect the leads of the voltmeter the opposite way round.......in other words the negative lead goes to the positive connection and the positive lead goes to the negative connection.
cheers
