Istick 50w voltage question.

[pevinsghost]

Let me start with what is NOT a mechanical mod. Anything with a display is not mechanical, you pick a voltage, or a wattage, or on some devices, a temperature, and the device converts battery power to whatever you selected. On mechanical mod, there is no chip to figure any of that out, just a battery, a metal tube, an atomizer, and a button that connects the circuit. So whatever the battery supplies in voltage is what will be supplied to the coils.

The egos are usually not exactly mech mods, they usually have some safety circuitry in them, lights in the fire button, etc., but they are along the same lines. From there they go up to tubes with larger batteries, all the way up to boxes with multiple batteries in them. And, as pointed out above, without many of the safety features built into devices with chips in them.

Gotcha!
I'm receiving quite an education here tonight. Thanks for being so helpful.

An ego one has short circuit protection & low voltage protection that turns the unit off - 3.3v so the user can't over discharge the battery.

Not really a mechanical, which has neither.

I'm happy to report that i received my genuine iStick 50w today. My dealer kept his word and exchanged the fake for the real thing. I was even able to exchange the blue box for the black box. So im a happy boy today

0.3 actually. But yes. But how come i can't get it past 3.8 v?

Physics....at 4.2V you would be trying to squeeze 88W out of a 50W device....at 10V, you'd need 500 watts

oops that was for .2Ω not .3...close enough
