Panzer Tiger Voltage Drop

[jbok]

I just received my first authentic mech mod for Christmas/Birthday present. The first thing I did was slap it on a voltage meter and my findings were a little disturbing. I used a Samsung 25r reading at 4.13 and 3.38 under load. That gives me a .75 drop. I have a steampunk clone that has less a drop than that.

Am I doing something wrong? Can certain builds result in different drops? Is it possible I received a defective mod? I'm a little distressed given that my family dropped over two bills on it.

What was the resistance of the build? The lower the resistance, the more voltage drop. Do the test with same atty and load and see what ya get.

It's on a MX v2 at .2..thanks for the input, I'll try a different build.

with a build in the .2 range it's not uncommon to find that much voltage drop, especially in a mod like the Panzer that has a lot of thread connected tube sections. Don't put so much stock into voltage drop, it can change even depending on your measuring methods and a whole slew of other factors(even how you press the button) so unless you have professional level equipment to measure everything and you truly understand what you're doing I would personally recommend that you just vape the Panzer and don't worry about silly numbers that may or may not be accurate. Hell if you want to make yourself feel better, build a 1.0 ohm coil and measure voltage drop with that

Yes, the lower the resistance the higher the recorded or "seen" voltage drop will be, however there are too many variables to accurately measure everything without spending a decent amount of money on measuring equipment.

Edit: If you're measuring mods against one another, you can do so but just be sure that everything is clean and that you use the same atomizer on every mod you're comparing voltage drop with.

Ok that make sence... I'll just enjoy it for what it is.. I was always told that the panzer had a low voltage drop and was shocked to see it that low. I purchased a Sigelei 100w last month, so I guess I was just expecting it to preform in a similar fashion even I know it's two different beast.

.75 voltage drop under a .2 load isn't that bad

Ok thanks... I have seen YouTube vids and the drop was always real low, I did not pay attention to the resistance though.
