Yes until you get below 1.1ohms (1.1ohms@3.7v=3.4amps) because the switch can only handle 3.5amps. I'm running mine at 3.7v@1.2ohms=3.1amp (11.4watts) very steady. As long as you use IMR (high discharge amp batteries) in a mech you can go way lower on the resistance.
Though I haven't mastered any of this, I found, unfortunately, 12 mg was a little too much for me. I don't quite get it but it was a little uncomfortable (uneasy nic overload). I have a 32 mg juice (GeJ Patriot) that I can rock on a 357 that is outta sight, but 12 mg on the DID and I can't even get through a whole tank. It really bums me out a little because I have so much juice at higher nic levels. It makes the break-in less than desirable for me.
Wow. Just got my 200 feet of 30 and 32 awful a-1 kanthal. I will never buy a carto (not cargo. Lmao. Dam auto corrector) again. Long live my DID!

I've had my eye on the Vmax for a while now, as that 5A discharge rating is pretty enticing for a non-mechanical mod! Have you tested the voltage under load when vaping it close to 5A? The pricetag makes me think that the performance at the upper end of it's advertised spectrum might dwindle a bit, but then again, I'm always warry of electronic ecigs. If it breaks and I can't tear it down to troubleshoot and isolate the problem, then I don't trust it. Thus why I've trimmed my collection down to 12 mechanical mods and only 3 that bearing any sort of wiring or electronics (2 provaris, which I typically give to my girlfriend to vape on, and an Orion v2.1)
Ahahaha, sorry! My intention wasn't to offend! I was just trying to make the point that in my experience, 10W isn't nearly enough power to run my devices the way I want to. For instance, 10W with a 0.8Ω coil is only going to give you 2.8v! Where as my unregulated mechanical mod running at 3.7v spits out a fairly steady 17.11W and 4.625A!
And for anyone who's curious about the math there... Wattage=(voltage^2)÷Ω or √(Wattage*Ω)=V and Amperage=Voltage÷Ω (I'd be tarred and feathered for posting that on the Zenfidel thread roflmao)
WORD UP! Since I started using RBAs about 9 months ago, I think I've used MAYBE 5 cartomizers! And most of those were punched triple coil cartos that I was vaping at 6v in my UFSv2! But now that I have the DID and my various other genis, I just can't fathom using anything else. Hell, I'm spoiled to the point of where I can't even vape on a 510 Joytech LR atty!

Yep, I done DID it
Well...maybe tomorrow then !
LOL!! Stay away from the tracking number, Classy... far farrrr away.
That will teach me huh ! Sigh...
Thank You Jim! You have made a product of perfection and chosen to share it with us and I for one cannot possibly thank you enough! And CONGRATULATIONS on your upcoming new addition to your family!!!
Hot damn. DID #3.... Coiled with 30awg, resulting in a 1.4ohm on my silver bullet non-kicked. Wife's DIY peppermint chocolate. Result? Vape Heaven. After a couple of weeks of cursing and tinkering, these DIDs have pleased well. Now I think my A-Ha moment is here.
Rick, and anyone else interested in the Vmax for that matter, there's a very comprehensive Vmax owners thread here:
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...ktech-vmax-owners-tips-tricks-quirks-153.html
All sorts of info including tests by an electrical engineer who is a regular poster on the thread. Like any mass produced Chinese product there have been some reported defective units so if you decide to buy one, just make sure it's from a reputable vendor with a good exchange/refund policy.
There are a number of posts there on the DID/vmax combo and for the most part they reflect positive experiences, mine included.
I believe one test actually demonstrated a 4.7 (or so) amp limit that stayed very stable, provided excellent quality batteries are used. The vmax demands top quality IMR's that can withstand a high constant sustained amperage; anything less and you're simply not going to get what this device is capable of.
The unit appears to satisfy even the most power-hungry enthusiasts. The consensus is that it always feels as though it's hitting harder than the indicated numbers. I would not suggest the vmax/DID combo for novice users as there is a bit of tweaking and adjusting involved to get these two units working correctly together. But in the right hands, the quality of the vape can be quite remarkable.
I hear you about mechanical mod reliability and no doubt there is much more that can go wrong with electronic circuits. However, at the prices these mods can be had, it's worth the risk for me. Going on 4 months now with an original v1 vmax, the last 2 vaping almost exclusively with the DID under what I'd consider heavy use (and abuse). I feel I've gotten my money's worth already and anything henceforth is just gravy.
I find the vmax's features most useful with the DID, from the ability to instantly read coil resistance to making fine voltage adjustments as the coil/wick breaks in, crusts ups, juice changes, etc. I also think it looks great with the DID (particularly the SS finish), sporting the exact 20mm width.
I'm not saying this device is the be all and end all with the DID, just another tool to get the job done, and IMHO, a very good one at that.

WOW! Thank you for such a detailed response fuzzy! You've sold me on it, and I think I'm going to order one when I get back from my trip. Lately, I've been exclusively using these 1500 mAh 18650 MNKE IMR batts that have a continuous current rating of 30A, so they should be more than adequate to hold 5As with a DID on there!
Also, I wanted to update everyone regarding the new matte DIDs! Jim has uploaded new pics to e-vape.gr, but I figured I'd post em here as well. The new matte finish is a machined finish, not a media blasted one. Meaning that it will have a similar finish as the Zenesis Standard/Mini/AYS, matte stainless Caravela, Hellfire mini/mega, original Precise, and the matte/machined Precise+ (but again, not the media blasted finish that most are familiar with).
Polished on the left, matte on the right
I did talk to Jim about including a media blasted finish, but that's still up in the air for now. I will update everyone as soon as I know more!

So is the matte the "satin" finish?! The satin mini did on the site looks more "Precise" Plus-ish than the photo above showing the matte finish...
I doubt you'll be disappointed. Won't take the 18650's though...vmax uses 2 IMR 18350's.
Yes, when I mentioned the matte finish, I was referring to the satin, my mistake. And while the pic of the satin mini did does look closer to the precise+, if you look closely you'll notice that there are very slight horizontal lines that are a result of the lathing process, rather than the monochromatic media blasted finish on a P+, which has a slightly textured look to it.
Ohhh, bummer! So you're limited to 850 mAh with it, that's too bad. I'm still sold on it though!
Hmm, then think I made a mistake ordering the Mini to match the P+, perhaps I could bead blast it myself. Would hate to ruin the engraving though. Oh well, looks like I'll have to order a polished mini now too.
