Hai. First time here and have 1 question

[JetEuphoria]

My name is Jet and Im from the Netherlands. Im a very happy vaper since August. Never smoked any cigarettes anymore.

Well, I have a question. I have an Ego vv/vw and a Itaste mvp. I both set them at 4,2 volt 11 watt with a 1.5 dual coil. Why given the ego more power/throathit?

Regards, Jet

Hi Jet.

It's often the case that a certain battery/mod will not be that accurate (or capable) in it's power output.

The MVP does NOT deliver 11 watts of power, even if it says so on the display. Maybe your eGo really does give the full 4.2v.... in which case, youd be on nearly 12 watts compared to maybe only 10 on the MVP.

Thank you very much for your support! Shall I increase the volt or the watt to get more power/throathit?

Hello Jet and welcome, happy vaping.

I gotta disagree with you about the MVP and wattage. Just checked mine with a high quality multimeter. Checked a fully charged 18650. It measured a tad over 4.2 volts. Measured my MVP set on 11 watts, measured 5.2 volts. With my 1.6 ohm coil in my KFL that would be 16 watts. At 4.2 volts it would be 11 watts. Why do you say it won't put out 11 watts? Seems to me if it can push it's voltage to 5.2 on a high resistance multimeter, it could easily get 11 watts on a 1.6 ohm coil.

Next time I empty a tank I'll try it with an atty attached.

Jet,

You set your MVP to either volts or watts. Not both. Which ever the last you set is what it is using. Try just setting the power to 11 watts.

Phil Busardo checked it out. It won't fire a 1.5ohm coil above 3.9volts. (the o.p. is using a 1.5 dual coil)

I don't know... maybe it can get higher power using the straight voltage setting... ?

It would be good to prove otherwise though, wouldn't it.

I was using 11 watts setting. To be sure I'll have to try with a coil attached. Will leave my meter out so the next time I change the wick I can test.

You're measuring the voltage with no load attached. The MVP will adjust the voltage to give 11 watts depending on the resistance of the coil that it sees. Since it's seeing basically 'infinite' resistance it is maxing out its voltage. If you were to put a 3 ohm coil on it and set it to 11 watts it would put out its max voltage of 5 volts and the power would only really be 8.3 watts.

If you put your 1.6 ohm coil on it it will adjust the voltage to about 4.2 volts

back to the ops question. The ego and mvp have a 3 amp current limit. If you use the voltage setting and not the power setting on the mvp you should get similar results as the ego. As was stated earlier you only set either the power or voltage on the MVP. It will go by the last thing you set so if you set 4.2 volts then go set to 11 watts you're at 11 watts not 4.2 volts and are limited to that wattage.

The MVP is capable of up to 15 watts when using the voltage setting at 5 volts and a 1.7 ohm coil.

Welcome Jet! What kind of juice are you using? What level of nicotine? Higher PG and/or higher nic will help with the throat hit. With the ego at 4.2v/1.5ohms, you're pushing 11.75W (about 2.8A.) The MVP has already maxed out at 11W (just a little over 4.0V and only about 2.7A) I'm not sure I could tell the difference from those two devices under those conditions, but it's possible that the ego is delivering just a little more "oomph" than the MVP.

Agree, that's why I said I wanted to check with an atty attached. Point was made that it won't go to 11 watts so I want to check it out. Won't be using a 3 ohm atty though..... Now just to vape a couple more ml.....

Using 80pg 20 vg. Mostly 18mg. But also mixed with 24 mg.

Different brand and taste.
