Too bad shadowlife.... IMO variable wattage looks like a very interesting way to go with this new "epic" mod. BTW, variable voltage and variable wattage are NOT the same! you may want to put a little time into understanding this concept as you are a mod builder. Maybe MWA102464 can help you out. He has a vast amount of knowledge on "epic" mods. He told me so.
SS, I am torn between trying to offer you a slightly different perspective to consider and (after your subsequent posts) voting to have you banned.
On the side of the former, I have been researching, studying, using and learning about vaping mods since April. I am an avid, and fairly competent, researcher. While electronics are NOT my forte, I try (at least) to read, listen and learn before speaking (typing). I have been actively experimenting with "dumb" mods reaching for the "sweet spot" or "my happy place" using watts formula, various voltages, regulated and resisted mods. Then I ventured into VV mods and experimented further - looking to tweak the voltages to compensate for the varying "personalities" and slight ohms fluctuations of various attys and various models of attys. I then went into experimenting with different batteries trying to learn about amps (still really have no clue on this) and came to the "dumb" (I say "dumb" because my only verifiable proof is in the vape and not from amp knowledge) conclusion that the AW IMR 16340 stacked gives me a much better hit in a non-boosted VV device. I have read this is so because of the chemistry and amp draw of the IMR battery.
What does all this mean? It means that I try to know what I do not know and am willing to admit that I do not know.
Like you, and most of the people following this thread, I read and follow other threads and other "smart" devices. Yes, we are ALL aware there are other device makers taking different approaches. I am very enthusiastic to watch, listen, learn and try a variety of smart devices, and their different approaches, because I DO NOT KNOW. Mercedes, BMW and Porsche all make very different cars and each appeals to different driving enthusiasts (with some enjoying all three).
So, to your point, it is my so far understanding that in a "dumb" mod: with the 4 variables of volts, amps, ohms and watts there will be fluctuations. The atty ohms may fluctuate from heat, juice, age, etc. Amps and volts may fluctuate from device wiring/design, charge level, battery chemistry, etc. As these fluctuate, watts are likely to fluctuate. It would be easy to "assume" (and many of us who are old enough to remember the TV show The Odd Couple know what we accomplish when we "assume") that setting for watts is the ONLY way to accomplish the consistent vape result. HOWEVER, I (for one) am willing to accept that "I do not know". I see that there are MANY people in this thread - and other threads - who DO KNOW. So, I am choosing to sit back, relax, enjoy a really good vape (on my "dumb" mod) of my favorite juices, appreciate the many blessings in life and wait-watch-read-listen-and-LEARN. I will decide what devices best serve my vaping pleasures as they are released.
I have purchased and sold many mods and plan to purchase and sell more (DEVICES). I fully appreciate and respect the device designers/builders/engineers need to play their hands close to the vest as we have seen so much childish behavior, disrespect and basic absence of integrity in some parts of the vaping device community by way to copying, etc. I also respect and appreciate that these newer "smart" devices may require engineering to the tune of applying technology in ways that it may not have previously been intended to be used when designed (example - I do not know of many devices that drain battery charge {for these size batteries} at the rate of vaping). So, I imagine there is much testing, tweaking, adjusting and finding ways to incorporate more features, make others more efficient, etc. before prematurely releasing informational details.
I can only hope you might see that by walking around an issue we can actually see it from a variety of perspectives. Now, with all of that said, your posts, attitude and continued spiteful and angry negativity leave be thinking that others suggesting you be banned may not such a bad idea. While some people do jump on the judgmental and critical bandwagon a bit too fast - here in ecf, for the most part, people are friendly and helpful and considerate.

Sorry gang - EOR
