The control is in the coil build. It's not like I slap a coil and settle with what I have. I know what to build for a certain flavor or type of vape. Once I found that awesomeness there was no need to fiddle with vv/vw anymore.
Excuse my ignorance, but the the coil is a "control". But the voltage from a mechanical [unregulated] mod is as far away from being controlled as we can get. That's what we're talking about. Not coils. But unregulated voltage.
The output is dependent upon the battery's actual voltage. The voltage drops pretty damn fast -- logarithmic drop, if you will?? This is the disconnect that I'm having with the whole mechanical thing when VV/VW devices are nearly as cheap and most are certainly as reliable/durable. Yes, I will give you guys that a mechanical mod will be smaller [and therefore, better looking].... but this doesn't always have to be the case. The ego c-twist is barely any larger than an unregulated 650mah ego. Smaller than what most mech mod users would use, but still...
You're telling me that you build your coils around the wide range of your battery's actual voltage output on a logarithmic scale? I. Just. Don't. Get it.
If you have an extra 280.00 bucks, you can get you a nice Zen DNA 30 that will power sub ohm vaping as low as a .5 ohm coil.......and go up to 30 watts (crazy). Its dead sexy....nice looking......but comes with a 18490 battery tube thats kinda silly in itself because at .5 ohms and its "self regulated" as in "always adjusting" so it kills batteries............. you would need a pocket full of batteries with you.
However, if you used a VV/VW set to the lowest voltage available (3.2V, for example), then the regulated device's battery would stay above 3.5V far longer than the unregulated device, no?
Most of you are always stretching for the MAX voltage, MAX power. But an unregulated device will hardly remain in its MAX output range as the output is
dependent upon the battery, and the battery's voltage begins depleting instantly.
The lower your actual battery voltage gets, the more amps has to be pulled to raise the output voltage. So, the closer the battery is to depletion, the harder it has to work. When I swap my batteries at, say 3.6v (not under load), there really isn't a whole lot left to power a boost circuit to boost output to 4.2v (under load).
Hope that sort of makes some sort of sense.
Of course it makes sense. But what doesn't make sense is why you'd be pushing a battery @ 3.6V to output 4.2V, much less expecting it do so when... when, of course, a mechanical mod cannot do the same thing.
After thinking about it a bit more, tho... I had the revelation that the point of mechanical mods is that the most
optimum output will come from the battery's actual voltage. Without forcing the battery beyond its natural voltage, mechs like to keep it pure.
HOWEVER, a battery could be regulated to a lower voltage, and it could have a more optimum output in terms of time. But I'm guessing that the unregulated device will ALWAYS be putting the "juice" towards output, instead of regulation.
Anyway, I think I'll just have to get both. Problem solved.
