to IQ or not to IQ, a story by Reg...

Here is my take on the 99% IQ reading...

Ok, if you take a P3, remove atty, remove battery. insert battery, (no atty yet) you will get a 99 % IQ automatically because the P3 does not know it's IQ yet... even better then that, loosen the end cap now, just hanging by a tread, and you'll still see 99% IQ... the software can not get a proper IQ reading until it successfully sends a small pulse of electricity that includes a resistance at the end of the P3 (atty) (Now please understand that all that is measured is still only internal to the P3 (IQ does NOT include the status of the atty itself, or the quality of the connection of the atty to the P3))

Now to do some tests to prove? hehehe lets have fun...

Take your now fully assembled P3 with atty of your choice, check IQ (mine 91%)
Take atty off, check IQ (should be same... mine 91%)
lossen the end cap by 2 truns... (since now no atty, the software can not update the IQ... should be same as last reading... hehehe)

for fun... don't re-tighten the end cap yet... put on atty, check IQ (it should be now lower... because the software can now use the resistance of the atty to check it's IQ)

even more fun.... remove atty, remove battery, install battery, install end cap only a little... just enough to get power up.... check IQ... wow 99%

don't touch end cap yet... put on atty... check IQ oooopps went down to .... accurate reading.

was that fun or what?

all that to say that, yes the IQ is the quality of the conductivity internal to the P3 including the battery. but it needs an atty to actually do the test...

And that is the world as I see it... I may be totally wrong today... I have this medication that makes me hallucinate... hehehe

cheers all

Fun is subjective.

I know what ProVape have stated, but from an electronics point of view, unless both negative and positive are isolated during the resistance check (what IQ does), you're adding to the circuit by attaching an atty. Of course the positive is isolated, but probably not the negative. You don't need a complete circuit to make electricity flow. If you doubt that, try sticking a paperclip in one pole of your wall outlet ;)

Oops - AC volts vs DC volts! DC volts, paperclip to either side does nothing, only if you touch both sides. Don't believe me? Use your tongue on one side of a 9v battery, then do the same, but touch both at the same time - feel the difference?

You are stuck with all the mental cases here DP. Lets face it it's the only game in town and besides things could be worse if the "Is Provape becoming the next Blackberry" thread was still going. Actually I miss that thread. LOL

Happy New Year to everyone and I do hope your IQ increases next next. For me it's been downhill for several years now and totally hopeless.

You'd have to drag me kicking and screaming from here, Ping. And I just got a nostalgic tear thinking of that Blackberry thread. The good old days...

IQ, I have none. No-ox though, I've GOT (believe it or not). And so does Kat, so don't let her fool ya.

Happy New Year to you, and to everyone here.

Oh my you and Kat caved into the No-Ox craze. What's next BooST?

The dreaded BlackBerry thread where one could unsubscribe and subscribe the same day. We shall never forget.
what ... the Blackberry troll thread got closed? :blink:
Yes the thread was closed a long time ago. Even DP snapped. A truce was never signed though.

You got me with that analogy... That's what severe lack of sleep will do to someone. I've been getting a few 1-hour naps every now and then the past 3 weeks since bringing home newborn twins. 2 more weeks of leave from work - not sure what to expect when I go back to work. Can't stay up all night and let my wife sleep, and work all day. I'm already planning to take the bus to work, as I'll be in no condition to drive. Yeah, this is my first time...
