I feel like this would be a good way to jack up a $150 atty... IMHO that is. I still would want to know.
THANKS ALL who are involved in the Vdrop convo. Lots of good information. Now, get your hands on a Sony 30A and run the tests again.
The best way to fix this problem is to squonk more. You are hitting your coil too dry.
I think the biggest contributor to voltage drop is internal battery resistance. I'd run this test before with my vaping buddy and just ran it again to compare numbers. The test subject was a tumbled raw with a 1.5 ohm micro-coil in an RM2. All batteries were 18650.
Battery Voltage Voltage under load Voltage Drop
Efest 4.15 3.52 .63
AW IMR 4.07 3.64 .43
MNKE 4.20 3.85 .35
The Samsung INR-20Rs outperform the 30 Sony's and are apparently capable of putting out 30a themselves as a bonus, not that you'd even need them to.
Jeremy E. When I was messing with scuffed up flat tops in my REO, I found that, if I didn't REALLY file the firing pin and Noalox it, then it would still be suffering from the oxidization of the previous battery, and it would arc onto a nice new battery too. If your new AWs look like that; buff them out real good (don't sand, just polish) and clean the peas out of you firing pin before putting them back in there.
Don't bother, no improvement with increased surface area.
does the flat metal piece just come right off of the REO? Or do you got slide the juice tube come off first ?
Think I did okay on this one, thanks very much to this thread an its contributors. Got 8 wraps of 32 (don't have anything else just yet) on a solid core ss mesh wick. It is running around 3.0 on my itaste v3. At 10 watts getting a great vape with some tipping required. Was running a straw style before with 3 wraps at 8 watts, so a marked improvement. Can't wait for the cable and ribbon to get here! View attachment 241268 View attachment 241269
