sigelei v2 not regulating below 4 volts

[mauricem00]

just picked a sigelei V2 and find that it does not seem to regulate power if I set it for a wattage that requires less than 4 volts on the tank.it works great in boost mode but when I set it lower I seem to get more power not less. this is my first regulated mod. been using mech. for the past 13 month and was wondering if this is normal for a regulated mod? with a 1 ohm coil it seems to put out less power at 15 watts than it does at 7 watts. once I get over 4 volts on the tanks it works great

It probably doesn't have buck capability, also known as step down. In that case it can't reduce the power lower than the battery voltage. So once you're battery is below 4v, then it can.

I read somewhere else that these do not have buck capacity so I recoiled my tank to 1.5 ohms so I could take it down to 10 watts for a mild vape.thank you for your input.

I just looked up its output voltage, and it should buck down to 3v. However, it may use pwm to do it, and maybe its not a smooth signal.

This was the only site I could find that info though:

thank you. the specs on the site I purchase it from was the same.it will go down to 3 volts but at anything below 4 volts I get a slight burnt taste and inconsistent vapor production.I am use to mechanical mods so changing the coil resistance was an easy solution. but when I saw this mod on a clearance sale for 20 bucks I could not resist it. can't have too many tanks or mods and this will work well on my sub tanks. once again thank you for your input. im a mech guy and just getting into regulated mods

I have two of them as well. I bought one a year ago when it was new, and the other a few weeks ago on clearance. If I weren't broke right now I would get a couple more.

I plan on grabbing one too at these Clearance prices, Iv actually always wanted one but never got it. They are coming out with a new mod that looks exactly like the VR2, at least the pictures iv seen show it that way..
