Kat miss a mod? I do not think so.
Has she included the GloVari Mini? 99.95
Little itty bitty mods under $100.

Has she included the GloVari Mini? 99.95
Soo... did anyone get the Smowell DPV 50 yet? I saw in Deals and Steals that this device was going on sale at the price of 27.99 with coupon code DPV50 at this site. I am very tempted to pick one up. It's less than $30 for a 50 watt mod! But of course the question is... why is it so cheap and is it worth it? Would rather not waste my money if it's just a piece of crap.
I'm looking for reviews. There was an interesting comment on FT saying it was SMOK M50 chip, but I have no idea how they'd know. https://www.fasttech.com/forums/2139600/t/1557116/smok-xpro-m50-board
Makes sense, although of course I don't know.
Moving away from being called any kind of clone, but Smo(K)well...

Both the SMOK Xpro M50 and the Smowell DPV-50 have exactly the same display, but the kicker is the presence in both mods of a small reset switch "hole" located between the up and down buttons. Very few regulated boxes even have a reset switch, and the access holes for the reset being in in precisely the same place on both mods is an "ah-ha" factor for the possibility of the circuit boards being identical.
I dunno, Lolz Jim. Did she?
I dunno Kat...
I did search, very quickly. And if you did, I apologize.

Forget this drivel, which just happens to be my specialty.
It's on the main tab, row 37.
Oh DP...
How the Mighty have fallen!
Buy the Dragon and take your lumps like a man.
Ping did/does!?!
LOLz, Jim

Now didn't I tell ya that the CFO denied the request?
And do I look like the type of guy who would go against the CFO's ruling? Do I?
Ping also has a futon...
That would not a concern in this case. My CFO resides in a different residence.
Actually, she resides - HERE. Ruh-roh (gottago!).
PBusardo shows the IPV Mini only has step-down and "power boost" when in the PWM Mode (but not when set to the DC-DC Mode).
Also...when set to the PWM Mode...it automatically switches over to a DC-DC signal when the PWM signal is no longer optimal.
So...me...I leave my big
heavy IPV Mini in the PWM Mode continuously.
ok ok ok....... confession time. I added it as soon as I saw your post.
And thank you for that, Lolz. Appreciate it!
Oh hon...... lead us not into (more futon) temptation!!

Yeah/no.

me too, me too! I still can't figure out why NOT to.

gerry,
I wonder about that too. If, as Phil Busardo suggests, the oscilloscope readings show that the iPV Mini 30W in PWM mode switches over to DC-DC whenever that's more optimal---meaning that it uses PWM only when the user asks the device for a low voltage that DC-DC can't achieve---then why offer menu options for selecting PWM or DC-DC modes? Doesn't make sense.
I go with Phil and you on this one---I keep my iPV Mini 30W in PWM mode all the time. (I also have two iPV Mini 2 70Ws, but the regulating chips in those use only DC-DC and don't even offer PWM.)
It's always seemed to me that using PWM to "simulate" true step-down (buck) in voltage is pretty lame, since the device is still hitting the coil with maximum voltage, just for a very short burst. Strikes me as suspect. If I want to run an atty/clearo that requires lower-than-battery voltage, I'll put it on a regulated mod that can truly supply that lowered voltage, such as an old-style linear regulator in a VV box mod or a Twist/Spinner.
It's a long & ugly story. Lolz Jim dragged a story from another thread in here. In summary, there was some concern that Ping would be forced to move in with me if he bought one more mod.Why do we care what kind of couch Ping has?
Y'know, kicked out by the Missus.
