sorta glad no info got posted today, I'm all loopy on cold medication so I dunno that I could process it right now O_O;;

Mod Pics - Imgur Here are the first pics I am working up a test rig and will do a vid and more photos later. Remeber this is a beta unit so it will be slightly different in production including the marine coating and such.

Am I correct in assuming that the blue thing on top is the wattage adjustment and each notch is a different wattage marking ? If so how do you tell which one its set at ? I'm thinking you use one of the blades on the screw as a "pointer" and the notches as a dial.
Yes the blue thing in the pic is to dajust wattage, and yes it is a drop in module. as of now it is a by feel thing on the wattage all the way right to get to 10 watts and all the way left to get to zero. And I will show you which end goes in first in a vid in a few days..
Well I believe that I noticed 11 notches on the "blue thing". So hopefully each one of them will conveniently correspond with a wattage setting with the first being zero and the last being 10. But of course we will learn more in the coming days. I can't wait to see the official price point and then the official release.
Let's see if I understand how this should work. Say I set it somewhere between 0 & 10, put a 2ohm Atty on it then measure the loaded voltage, then do the ohms law calc and that would give me the wattage it's set at? And it will change the voltage if I change the impedance automatically to get that same wattage? This is a booster module, right? If so is it a 3.7v in? I know you just got it but figured you might know about this stuff. I hope these questions make sense and not a PIA.
Thanks

Yes it's a boosted 3.7v and it works as you described just like the Darwin. It's meant to fit in any 18650 type mod used with an 18490 IMR (needs to be a high drain IMR since it's boosted)and the kicker to reeplace the 18650.
I'm no expert but from what I've gleaned from this thread and other places I'll try to answer. Yes its a booster designed to work with our normal 3.7v mods. Yes it should automatically read the resistance and adjust the voltage to deliver the set wattage no matter what resistance atty/carto you put on it. I'm nearly positive these answers are correct ,but if I'm mistaken I'm sure Jay or someone else will correct me soon enough.
woops you must have posted while I was typing.Yes it's a boosted 3.7v and it works as you described just like the Darwin. It's meant to fit in any 18650 type mod used with an 18490 IMR (needs to be a high drain IMR since it's boosted)and the kicker to reeplace the 18650.
Edit to add: Are we sure that the 18490 is the correct battery. I thought that I had read the 18500 was going to be the correct size. Although the 18490 makes more sense as that is the only high drain that I could find.

Thanks, I thought that's what it was. I might pick up one and try it out

The only real difference between this and the Darwin is the Kicker will only go to 10 watts and the Darwin goes to 12.7 (or 12 whichever lol)
I'm still waiting on mine to get here to try out... should work nicely in my mods
