I'm using a Kayfun lite plus on the svd at .8 ohms. i love this set up.
I thought the only vv device that ran resistances that low was the v-2 provari (except for the dna mods)? so the svd does this? I do know that if one were to run, lets say the v-2 provari at .8, the power achieved is actually lower then, lets say a coil at 1.3Ω

I just tried a Kayfun Lite with a 1 ohm coil on my SVD and ran it up to 15 watts. It seemed to work ok, but I was almost getting what seemed to be a "burnt" taste. I had to back the wattage down to around 11 watts for it to taste ok. I put the same Kayfun Lite on my Poldiac V2 and the taste was perfect. I checked the voltage drop on the Poldiac with this tank and with a slightly used battery, it was reading 3.9 volts. With that resistance (1 ohm) and that voltage(3.9 volts) the wattage output is 15.21.

What is causing this difference between regulated and mechanic mods???? It seems that the mechanical mod's straight DC voltage can deliver a higher wattage without getting the coil too hot. I have experienced this before.

strange. if you had left out the voltage drop check, I would have said the mech is probably (after voltage loss) just not pushing as much power as the vv mod but if your calculations are correct, then I really don't know. although I am no electrician, it seems to me that power is power and straight dc voltage wouldn't matter. i think there is somehow more voltage loss going on but am certainly intrigued.
