Interesting news for modders and a question

[mj64]

I think that with the relationships in Ohm's law, it really doesn't matter significantly from a theory POV what you manipulate. Is watts the final result that we are trying to stabilize? Maybe from a lektrik point of view, or maybe not. I think it is just another part of getting there. We are looking for small-particle nicotine vapor with a taste ultimately. I do know that in a 'evolved' (play on words kinda accidental really) manufactured board I would hope for more fault tolerance than I have personally seen on the Darwin.

I watch his video's only to see his smoke rings,,,,,IMO that is all he does well......he-he

Well, there's his diction too... I don't watch many videos period...

Everyone talks about volts and watts. We can apply voltage and current to a piece of railroad track and get a certain wattage but we wouldnt get any heat. I think the thing everyone looks for with their atty/joose combo is a certain heat that makes it a sweet spot for them...the ultimate PV would monitor and control heat at the vaporization point on the wick.

Power, measured in Watt's, is heat. More Watt's more heat. Is the relationship perfectly linear? I doubt perfect but it's close enough to measure Watt's and comprehend it as heat.

Applying a voltage to the train track will create the same heat as an atomizer if all conditions are the same, only it will be spread out over a much greater surface. As long as the same voltage and same resistance was used, the end result heat would be the same. The atomizer has much less surface area so the heat is contained to a small area making it more noticeable.

Most commercial reviewers are fine as long as you can cut through the I get paid to do this crap. We all have opinions and are entitled to them for sure, but it is always best to be civil and hold your tongue when talking about anything people are passionate about.

I would not trade ANY of my darwins for the world. I would trade my vari for a darwin on the spot.

 

[alexp843]

your right....if a atty and rr track consumed 8 watts thats it but the temperature produced would be greatly different....my bad...guess it would have been better if I said the temperature should be controlled at the vaporization point

 

[CapeCAD]

Once the output is adjusted for a load +/- some tolerance for the juice you use, there is no need to adjust anything. Maintaining the output by Watts or Volts does not make a difference as both will remain constant as long as the load remains the same.

If you change atty resistance significantly, the VV will have to be adjusted. How many people do that, and how often?

Either will have to be adjusted for a change in juice.

 

[jayvolt]

Correct capecad, and both vv and power reg work great. I believe that the "game changer" is the fact that there is a company out there that is trying to get the tech to the people for a very fair price. If they can do that and keep the product modular they not only supply the modders but keep it in reach of joe schmoe as well.

Take this same concept and sell them to manufacturers to use as a base and you open the market up to a load of well made mods for a lower price. The fact that there are people out there selling others a friggin tube with a regulator for the prices we see is highway robbery. Ask any of the other people that make VV devices if they will sell you the tech without the tube and see how far it gets you. Most will laugh you out of the room.

"Regulated" is the key word here. As per the OP, I would be interested in a device like this. I am not an EE, but am an avid tinkerer. Many are on a race to numbers; "Man, you're only vaping at 5.684 volts? I am vaping at 5.935 volts, IT IS SO MUCH BETTER".

All of the devices are basically power sources with atty/cartos attached. Any one number is meaningless, it's all that delicate ballet of Ohm's Law. The convenience of changing things is just that, a convenience. The preference of a tube, box or slab is just that, a preference.

Performance-wise, if it's regulated, it will compensate for atty aging, crud buildup, battery degradation and phases of the moon. Or, most of those, anyway...

 

[Rothman]

It took me little while to get used to my Darwin but now I have to say that power regulation rocks. I have used many different devices and even make my own but, nothing hits quite like the Darwin. I would definitely be interested if they offered these. I think it would be awesome to make a power regulated unit with interchangeable batts and style it the way I want to.

 

[Rothman]

Any updates on this Jayv?

 

[jayvolt]

Not yet. I am patiently waiting for news. as soon as I have some I will def post pics and make a mod to test it all out.

 

[WannaGetHealthy]

I'm waiting with ya, man. I'm super psyched for this! *thread subscribed* I'll be awaiting your updates

 

[jayvolt]

as soon as I have a few to work with I will have in the very least photos of the units themselves. I will try my hand at a VERy accurate desc and review with video as well.

 

[B-Rad_The_Mad_Vapr]

As far as I know, Evolve's mod builder program will only be open to mod building vendors not the general public modders. At least that's what I got out of my last conversation with Brandon. Also there is no date as of yet when this will become reality especially since they will be releasing a few new products in the near future.

Variable watts like a Darwin in a wooden box is what a guy in Australia has been doing for a number of months now. No LCD display, one button, one multicolour led. He builds them in sizes from 2 x 850mah lipos to 2 x 2600mah 18650's, sealed box, charge from the attie connector. I've got 2 of them and they work great, to me the best part is dialling in the wattage I like, and no matter what carto I put on it, it tastes much the same, no chance of blowing a carto because the manufacturer slipped a 1.5 into my box of 3 ohm cartos, probably wouldn't even notice it. More mods with Darwin guts is interesting, but im happy with mine, if anyone's interested go look on aussievapers.com.

Actually I should have a few beta units to test soon and as far as I have heard from him the units will be sold to the public as well as the budding companies that are trying to design their own mods.

Gazob, Thats a nice unit but the ones I have seen photos of will have a daughter board with LCD readout on them as well. I am hoping to have my package in a week or so, so I will post detailed photos and a possible mod as well.

 

[MickeyRat]

Reo has struck a deal to use notcig's buzz regulator in a VV Reo. It's really about time this started happening.

Guess it's time to call him again then... I was supposed to get electronics to build a few mods back in April from Brandon (just to build my own personal mod and one for him).

What is the high limit on wattage for these?
