Power VV Mod

[Goldenkobold]

At ECF often coops are done. then shipping comes down to an affordable level, and customs isn´t that bad if you are paying for a 30$ base. Dont know exactly but could be probably done for around 50 $ with shipping included to the end buyer. For the whole kit.

yea but if I can get the tube for 63, well I am willing to pay 13 bucks not to deal with a co-op

This can do 15 watts at 6v on a 2.4 ohm carto/atty (reaching its 2.5 limit but not going over it)

The infinity has a much shorter battery life.

The infinity has a switching power supply, which should give a huge boost to batter life over other 1300 mah devices. It's probably smaller as well. My E-Power is too big as at is (especially the width).

Good point about the watts though, and that settles it -- I'm waiting for this.

The tube is limited at 2.67 amps, not 2.5.

Where did you see this?

 

[fsroq]

Its the result of one of the tests done by solovapor in Spain. 2.67 amps is the real limit, 2.5 the rated.

I actually like this color scheme (black and red without the logo)

 

[Jorge22]

I do too. Mine is totally black, though, and that's alright.

Really don't want to wait until December......

Dont buy a tube! If you do so, there is notting exciting to report about. No parts falling apart. No buttons refusing to fire. No atos that wont work. No bats moving around in the tube. No painting of bad quality that rubs off in no time. no mistakes with complicated instructions. and and and....

Dont buy a tube, it just does what it should do, and there is nothing to talk about once you have it.

I know... sorry... It is is Sense Field's Vid review... Can be found in the Mod Video Reviews or You-Tube....

Test with multimeter in the portuguese forum
Lavatube

Points to cut at 2.3A

Translating

3ohm carto at 6 V: displays on voltmeter 5.5V and real voltage is 5.3

dual coil 1.4ohm: under load 3V displays 2.9 at voltmeter and at 6V gives 3.2

510 lr 1.6: at 3 gives 3 and at 6V volt gives 3.6

 

[fsroq]

These results are what could be expected with any VV with a 2.5 ish amp limitation. So everything normal so far.

According to the above video, there is a safety that cuts the amperage down on LR devices, but still dissapointing performance on LR attys and cartos. Also kind of surprised at how much actual voltage is VS reported voltage on the 3 ohm carto. Either the volt meter used is not well calibrated or the digital display on the device itself is off (though it's possible the carto isn't exactly 3 ohm either).

And there's a fall in power as the battery discharges:

with a full charged battery:
510 lr 1.6: at 6V checks in the multimeter 4.1V [2.56A]

previous test, battey used
510 lr 1.6: at 3 gives 3 and at 6V volt gives 3.6

Good. Means I can use my current LR cartos and attys at 4-4.2 volts. Shouldn't the unit cut off when the battery drops to 3.3 volts?

Is it an IMR battery? L-Ion will not give the amps needed for the booster to work, especially when not fresh of the charger.
Any volt booster will need to boost up to 6 volts from let say a battery who has a 3.5 V charge up to 2.5 aditional amps.
A good AW IMR bat is perfectly able to deliver these amps. A 3000 mA rated generic L-Ion bat, probably holding only 2000 mA, at 1.5 C will be able to deliver 3 amps, so any booster based mod, being a provari, or whatsoever cannt boost it up.
