i currently own a itaste vv v3. im using protanks and vivi novas.

i feel like im not getting the best results with this ecig switching between the voltages and wattages. plus when the battery drops the voltage does as well. so im wondering if there another good vv ecig out there that is affordable around 50 - 80$ range.
just want some recommendations.

Nope; when the battery drops, the VV circuitry keeps draws more current to maintain the output that you set.

My father loves his V3, he has around 6 of them with an mvp for back up and he claims he can tell when the battery indicator light is about to go from green to yellow because its different. I called BS very quickly. Later on it happened. He took a drag, said it was about to change then showed me the current green light, 2 pulls later it turns yellow... All of that to say perhaps the OP means when the battery gets weaker so does his vape. Should that be an issue? No, but apparently not all regulated devices are equal. If the OP did mean the voltage drops then A) he misunderstood the reading or B) its a technical issue. So far I agree with everything PaulBHC has said/ prob will say.

You have something else going on if 3.6v burns your juice.

If you press both little buttons, it shows resistance of your topper. Then it shows the charge of your battery. Press and hold one of the little buttons until it shows puffs and then either volt setting U or watt setting P and let us know what that is.

It dont quite burn at 3.6 just starts to taste funky but pass that it taste burnt and right now its at 3.5 v as i keep it.

Did not know that because i been told it as it drains the set volt will drop if the device is at low battery.

As you drain the battery, the battery voltage itself drops. Which is the reason for the electronics; the electonics regulates the voltage. You set what voltage output you want, and as the battery drops, the eletronics compensates for it to maintain what you set.

If the battery goes below about 3.2 volts, the electronics gives a 'low battery' warning and stops using the battery in order to protect it. Lithium ion batteries need to be kept above about 3.2 volts.

So , you're using about 3.5 volts; what ohms are you using. and is it dual coil or single coil; what tank.
and do you know your pg/vg ratio of the liquid.

I usualy use in the 2.0-2.8 range of oms. All my protanks have 2.0 oms. My protank 3s are dual coil and so are my vivi novas. Most my juice have more vg one im using now is 70 percent vg i have some 60% and 50%. Been try diffrent ejuices but yea

Rule of thumb: 5 watts per coil on commercial coils.

2 ohms at 3.5 volts is: 6 watts. If its a dual coil that's 3 watts per coil.
2.8 ohms at 3.5 volts is: 4.4 watts. If its a dual coil that's only 2 watts per coil.

watts = volts x volts / ohms

high vg can have wicking problems and lead to a burnt taste if chain vaping.

To assess the performance of you coil, you can hold it to your ear and listen while you fire the power; get used to the sounds so you can hear the difference between a coil that's flooded or dry as compared to just right.

So anyway; with a commercial single coil
2 ohm 3.5 volts thats 6 watts good.

if you have a 2 ohm dual coil then you want more like 8 to 10 watts;
lets use 9
9 = vxv/2
v = 4.2 volts for the 2 ohm dual coil

for a 2.8 ohm single coil
you want something like 5 watts
5 = v x v / 2.8
v = 3.7 volts

for a 2.8 ohm dual coil - nah yu dont have a 2.8 dual coil do you?
anyway the numbers would be
9 = vxv/2.8
v = 5 volts.


For your topcoils, you could keep in mind to give it an occasional twirl to wet the coil area at the top. Do that if you gt a burnt taste.

It really sounds more like a wicking issue to me, than anything else, probably because of the high VG liquids. You probably need less flavor wick than comes in the stock coils, if your juice is that thick. My juice is quite thin, so I was having to use a lot of flavor wick to keep it from leaking, but when you have too much wick, you get that burnt taste from dry hits.

Changing the battery you use will not fix it; in fact, if you get a more powerful battery, it will probably make the problem worse.

Stock coils have 2 strands of silica flavor wick, laying on top of the coil; try removing one of those strands, see if it fixes the problem. If it's a little better but not all the way fixed, try removing the other one. If your juice is thick enough with all that vegetable gunk (my definitely of "VG"), you may not need a flavor wick at all.
