I did finally find a limitation of the VV Box mod. It will run a 1.5 ohm DCC at the most 4.9 volts. Anything above that it voltage under load is 4.8-4.9v. Still very impressive, honestly I believe what you set is what you get. I may run in to variances of .05 to .1v, but i believe that is due to the sensitivity of the POT. POT barely needs to be moved to adjust .1v.

next run will be to test battery life, but I have some questions about how far to drain, and when to charge, how long to charge.

This runs 2 14900 900mah batteries. I know charged, this will be around or slightly over 8v. How far do i drain the batteries down before charging. Currently, the set is at 6.6v which in theory should be 3.3 per battery. So im guessing i should probably charge when it is down to about 6v? And how long should i charge, my charger has an output of 2v/600mah. Im guessing about 3.5 hours?

Also should I label them battery A and battery B and rotate them in the device?

Lemme know what you think

Any body still up? God I can't wait for the kiddo to head back to school

Well with dual bats, you probably don't want to run it below 6.4v. That's 3.2 per bat. I rarely run my 3.7s below 3.5-3.6, but that's a personal preference. I also mark all of my pairs of bats with a number or letter so they get rotated. None of my sets are the same so I don't need to do the 1A-1B, 2A-2B combo, but they are all marked 1 or 2 (or A and B to switch it up) and are rotated.

So what do you think about charge time?

Oh yeah, lol.. umm, until the light on the charger goes green.

Don't worry about it, man. Sometimes one starts thinking too analytical and overshoots something simple..kind of like what we talked about the other day. I do it all the time!

So you enjoying your new mod, I'm guessing? You crank it up much? Sounds like it has about a 3 amp switch on it?

Enjoying it very much, cant find anything to complain about, the 3 amp thing really only affects the 1.5 DCC. and even set at 4.7volts its a HOT vape. Now im trying to find an old flip phone holster and i can hook it to my belt. When im gripping it, it hides in my hand. I did push it to 6v on a 3ohm today, hot hot and quickly scorching it (it was an old carto), guess i will need to find me a 4ohm something so i can say i vaped at 7v

Or, a new 3 ohm at 7v should do the trick!

If you say so....lol

If I give bad info I appologize in advance.
Good advice: always name your batts and rotate. The batt closer to the work load will degrade quicker and rotating them keeps them "even" and prolongs life.
Good advice: pull batts off the charger when it turns green.
Real good advice: if you don't have one pick up a multimeter.

Here's the "iffy" part....hope I'm referring to the correct batt type...
Protected batts(maybe all, maybe not) have built in protection from over charging/over dis-charging.
I know the description when looking at batts will often tell you this. Good quality batts..aw fan myself, are worth it. I say this having just bought a yet to be named 18650 from Madvapes...lol.

So I got an email from SLB about this EGOV this morning. I have to say, other than the 650mah battery (passthrough though), this is a sharp unit. Larger mah rating coming soon. Look for this to hit vendors soon! Any thoughts on this?

 

[Kegger]

Looks pretty slick, pics are always a bit decieving but looks pretty long for a 650mah battery. But if I do remember right SLB is the maker of the KGO, so that would be a positive.

price? ....on second thought you lost me with SLB.

 

[hawkizefan]

however, 6 volt capabilities is intriqing.

That would be correct with the KGO. It is 114mm in length and 14mm in diameter..so that would be roughly 4 1/2 inches in length, unless I'm an idiot. So it's up there with the twist and all of that. I do like the power/fire button, but would prefer to see the LED more towards the top, but it wouldn't be a deal breaker. Probably wouldn't purchase anyway, but ya never know.

SLB is Sailebao. They are a tech enterprise (located in Shenzhen) that does R&D, marketing, development and manufacturing of e-cigs.

Don't have a price, they do wholesale, bulk selling at a 50 piece minimum for this little guy.

Good in concept, but that mah rating is just to low for trying to push up to 6v, no matter what kinda regulation/modulation it offers. Plus just like the Itaste, its a disposible device.

 

[PittBoss]

Yes, it is. Pretty sure this is NOT a genuine joytech product, but the realm of VV is opening up wider and wider. This trumps the iTaste with the exception of design. Although I expect Innokin to fix the iTaste with a new model soon..

I agree, but yet another option for those stuck on the ego design and compatibility. As far as the mah rating, I'm sure since it is also a passthrough, it makes up for that. Don't know anything more about it, but I suspect (as you just inferred) it won't hit a consistent 6v. But who knows until it's put out there..
