So I've busted out the trusty MVP 2.0 with nautilus Mini out of the museum for pure nostalgia factor, I have any number of 60 watt mods (give or take 100 watts), temperature control devices, mechs and rebuildables that make up the true roster of my daily rotation, but I wondered something that never occurred to me while I was actually using this device a year ago....what's the true maximum output of Ol' Faithful? 5 volts or 11 watts? Now as I'm using a Nautilus (with a Lemo on top of an IPV Mini II for real puffs in between :D ) it doesn't really matter right now, but as I recall the MVP will fire down to 1.0 (or was it 1.2?) ohms....that's ~20 or 25 watts at 5 volts, around 3.something volts at 11 watts. If this was able to output 25 watts I feel that would have been a major selling point last year so I'm inclined to think that the voltage just cuts off at 3 something at the "lower resistances", never exceeding 5. Which wasn't an issue back when we were vaping 1.6-2.0 ohms in our Nautiluses and Aerotanks, but this was just a funny question I realized I had never asked back then.

Maybe I'll get some 30 or 31 gauge out and rebuild an Aerotank coil on my old Spinner II next, I'm enjoying this vape purely on nostalgia alone! Be the first time that gauge hasn't been twisted or Claptoned in around 9 months, but it'd also be an interesting look back to where I started my very first Kanthal/Cotton rebuilds (unorthodox evolution I know, but it certainly made going to drippers and RTA'S a breeze! :D )

Anyway, I think I already know the answer to this question, so lets all take a step back from nickel and titanium and alien coils and take a few puffs off a tankfull of our roots!

They can actually fire a .9 ohm coil.

The real limitation was in amepage, which I don't recall the exact # but it was fairly low, something like 3.5, so there was no way you could fire a 1ohm coil anywhere near 5v.
