Mod screen readings

[Eric Superczynski]

So I've recently gotten back into using mods. This is my first regulated mod. I was using mechs back in the day. Looking back, I had no real understanding of how they worked, but I was building simple 6 wraps on whatever gage so I never had a problem. I now have a regulated 200w mod and understand how to come up with the voltage and amperage being they are generally in series form. But what do the voltage and amp draw on my scree mean. Of what purpose is it. They don't tell me the current voltage of my batteries or what amps are being pulled from them.

 

[Eskie]

No they don't tell you that. They are telling you the voltage and amperage being delivered to the coil based on the wattage you selected. As such they're sorta useless and confusing. Voltage is something folks who like variable voltage mods find convenient. Amperage, well, I'm not sure what it really helps you with at all, but it's a fun stat if you like that stuff.

Just some BS to add for aesthetics?

BS on the display, Yes.

Some folks think the more info the display shows the better never realizing it is basically useless.

There's one now with a compass and light. I want one with one of those tools for removing stones from horses hooves.

I think you're probably talking about the MVP5 which is a nice Vape especially since I don't usually like internal batteries and sub tanks I'm really impressed with it I won one from Innokin which was very nice that being said it also has a thermometer that does not actually work or at least I don't know what temperature it's reading because it was saying that it was 50 degrees in my house with the thermostat set at 75. On the other hand the compass does seem to work at least relatively well. The flashlight at least in the MVP 5 is legit I've seen ones where they have a flashlight but it's an afterthought the MVP 5 light you could legitimately use lost in the woods or something. That would be hilarious if they created it mods that had a horse hoof picker

 

[Tabac man]

I'm sure the MVP5 is a good mod despite the unnecessary tat.

Look a compass and a light are very useful for like those of us who have small (little iron) in their noses and have like congenitally poor night vision. I have also used a hoof scraper on occasion and my only question would be, do I hold the vape between my teeth or the hoof scraper. You only have so many hands.

I can't say I have avoided injury upon wakening yet, but it's been a weird sort of week.

Also, do NOT approach your horse from the rear, unexpectedly, horses, even if they know and "love" you as much as a horse can do (I'm not saying, I got no clue really) they are going to kick at the "threat" hard and fast, and all your gear will wind up IN your teeth and that is a SERIOUS dental bill right there.

Not to mention the trauma it will cause your horse. I have never MET or even heard of a "24 hour blacksmith." I don't doubt they EXIST perhaps at seedy race tracks, but I have never met an "emergency 24-hour" blacksmith, let alone one who vapes.

I'm sure there is at least ONE. I mean I just IMAGINED one so by a technicality (if you can imagine it, it is real) we are good to go.

He is going to tell you to turn on EVERY barn light in the place, hobble your horse, and approach cautiously from the front. Etc.

It's funny how a thread starts out about "mod screen readings" and now we are discussing horses rear ends (actually, that's very true... good advice BTW) My friend tried to give his girlfriend's horse a "worm tab" and it reared up and smacked him in the head with it's front hoof. He was very afraid of the horse for weeks, then one day (half drunk) walked up to it and gave it a hard "right cross" with his fist... both had mutual respect after that day. Why am I saying this... I have no idea, you started it Anna

I want a mod with a BS alarm that goes off within a 2 metre radius. Probably be beeping all the time and run out of battery

Give it time. Tat sells.

The voltage and amperage readings on the mod have essentially no value as stated.
You do however need to calculate how many amps are being drawn from your batteries, and that this does not exceed the amp limit of those batteries.

On a regulated device the resistance of the coil is irrelevant. Regulated mods separate the input and output voltage, in other words they separate the battery from the atomizer. The only relevant values are the wattage, and the remaining voltage in the battery.
As the battery voltage falls, the mod will increase the amp draw to maintain the selected wattage. You need to know the amp draw at full charge, and when the battery is discharged as this value will be the highest. Most regulated mods are about 90% efficient, so you will also need to factor this loss into your calculations as it will marginally increase the amount of amperage pulled from the battery.


To find the amp draw use I=P/V (-10%)

Eg.
60w divided by 4.2v equals 14.3 divided by 0.9 = 15.9 amps
60w divided by 3.4v equals 17.6 divided by 0.9 = 19.6 amps

With multi battery devices, simply calculate the amp draw then divide by the number of batteries.

How often have I heard that "You started it Anna" (not just here. IRL too!)

I did not begin the discussion of horses although I WILL stop right now. If even ONE vaping, 24-hour a day blacksmith is spared, I will be happy.

True story: I have never been kicked or bitten by a horse. Horses are pack animals, they smell fear. So your friend, while abusive to horses, may have been correct in his actions (I am not SAYING, LOL.) Bucked off plenty, bitten or kicked, no.

Also, I thought it was fully determined all the extra measuring crud was useless, but of course along came @sonicbomb with a totally rational, reasonable and safety oriented explanation. Sigh. I guess that's GOOD right, yeah.

For most vapers there is not much advantage to see this data, but I would not go so far as to say that it's useless.

For the nerdy vapers out there (like me ), this data lets me see if I am operating within the output capability of my mod if I want to check that. I don't need to do that often, but I like having the ability to do it if I want to.

You do however need to calculate how many amps are being drawn from your batteries, and that this does not exceed the amp limit of those batteries.

Totally agree with this, specially as batteries age and their capacities drop. I use the Steam Engine Battery Drain calculator for basic info on that.

You got that right Anna, and it's not just a dental bill at stake. A horse kick can be really nasty.

I love horses and rode often when I was younger. I was trained to always let them know I was there, run a hand down their ribs, flank and thigh before moving behind them. Sometimes thigh is enough, but the more contact the better. Body language is important too, they are simple beasts and sometimes spook easily but you can tell when they are nervous once you understand them.

Damn, now I want to ride again

All true. I figure if I don’t like someone sneaking up behind me why should the horse. I’ve been thrown, but I think that happens to most of us who rode a lot, but never kicked. I have been stepped on. That sucks. At least it was always in the ring in dirt and not on concrete, but even so, it’s really unpleasant.

 

[stols001]

Hehe, you want to ride again I want to buy land, a horse, and a donkey to keep it company. Donkeys are evil and nothing but bad influences, but like their intensive personalities more than make up for it. I would not buy a donkey from a person who was not willing to loan it to me for at LEAST a week first.

Then again, it all depends on the degree of our hineyiteis.

I'm sorry, I could not help it.
LOL.
