Let's Talk Hardware

It's all interesting , it seems though that Evolv is headed in the opposite direction from the really high wattage devices , I'm trying to figure out what kind of battery life you'd get running at that resistance , that's a lot of amps being pulled .

I think you're getting something there that wasn't intended... yeah that is very low ohms... but what it indicates for the amps capability is probably more to the point, ie it can handle a lot of them. At that setting alone... it was putting out 20+ amps. Of course, I can just as easily be getting the wrong idea as well... still that is a lot of amps which is an area that many mods are weak in.

I also think the temperature is a neat idea... but for my own use I would prefer seeing the output voltage still. The features I'd like to see would be to have optional info that the user could select based on their own preferences. Select which value is the adjustable one shown with the large number... ie voltage, wattage, temp or whatever... then select which value is shown on top/bottom in little letters. How long the display is shown... how long it takes to go to sleep ( if at all )... In otherwords, have everything user selectable for their own needs.

According to the calculator that's 20 amps and 1.2 volts.

It seems that high amperage and low voltage was the intent , that is a different direction from the 100 - 150 watt box mods , we'll have to see what the range is when it comes out .

Because they now support the lower ohms and voltages... doesn't mean that is what their are trying to direct it's usage at using it that way... it means they now also support those which they didn't before... it expands on the units capabilities from what they had with the DNA 30 chips.

I'm still one that doesn't think sub-ohms should be used on a regulated mod... it's inefficient and just uses the battery up quicker than needed. But the DNA 20/30 specs didn't take into account users that didn't want 7+ watts of power for whatever reason. By expanding down ( including a buck circuit ) ... they are now supporting users that they didn't before both with sub-ohm users and lower wattage users...

But they are still leaving out the high resistance , high wattage users , at least until we get the specs on the new chip . And a .06 resistance is uber low , you have to wonder why .

I'm saying that them showing low ohms and low volts... does not automatically exclude higher ohms or higher watts... perhaps they don't but the pic shown certainly doesn't mean they did either.... you are making assumptions

And you're not ? You have inside info ? The photo was what it was , the numbers are right there . I did say we have to wait for the specs , did you not read that part ?

No I'm not assuming anything... I just pointed out the values of the shown data... I didn't assume that meant it was limited to the low sub ohm or low volts...

If I were to assume something... it would be that the high end is more than it was in the DNA 30 but how much would still be in question with me.

By saying that I'm getting something that wasn't intended , that implies that you either know their intent or you are making an assumption of their intent , either way I'm done with this .

 

[Chakris]

Good news! ZNA mod has been shipped! Wasn't expecting that till the 10th.

 

[DavidOH]

At this point without the specs ant talk about the new board is speculation. Just based on the pic if you can fire a .06 ohm coil at 1.2 volts your looking at longer battery life. Or I don't know what I'm talking about and should go back to my corner.

PB has a video on his Paris vape trip. There is a new KFL adapter in the works. It's about 3min long starting at the 30min mark.

That adapter cartridge looks pretty neat.

The lower the ohms, the more amps it takes and uses the battery up faster... so higher ohms, more volts, lower amps increases battery charge life

RD, we know Ohm's Law here.

I hope they roll the new KF out soon , I haven't seen the video David , what's the adapter for .

It's a flavor cartridge. It can be easily removed and replaced in a Kayfun so you can change flavors without having to drain the tank, clean, and refill with another liquid. The tank holds your PG/VG and nic. The flavor cartridge holds your flavor component.

So basically it's for DIY ?

It sounded like the inventor was partnering up with several juice makers.

Not a lot of details were forthcoming.

 

[Bronze]

These device makers seem to be trying to get other vendors to customize around their products. This cartridge dude uses a Kayfun who will also need juice makers to blend around his device. Provari has that hybrid thread on the P3 seemingly to lure atty makers to design around their thread. It's a race to standardize around their design, thus locking up segments of the market.

It wasn't clear if DavidOH was serious or joking about the longer battery life... so it was easy to mention it
