so....sadly i lurk too much and post too little to ask in the main thread for this vape.
Has anyone put a volt meter on this thing? does it really push 12 volts?
Most of the high end, high watt, high cost apv right now are limited to 6 or 7 volts, even when they spout 100-150w output.
there are in my mind, two main advantages to regulated mods. one is safety (and the bec pro fails a little here thanks to heat issues compounded with the lack of heat auto-shutoff despite having a heat sensor inside.....FAIL) and the other is pushing high wattage through i high resistance coil build.
the bec at its limits should allow 50w using 12 volts in a 2.88 ohm coil and it's only pulling 4.16 amps, well within most batteries safety limits.
to get 50w on a mechanical mod you would have to build to around .35ohms. waaay into sub-ohm range and that is on a fully charged battery at 4.2v. it would drop in performance pretty quickly. a 2+ ohm coil provides a lot more surface area than a .35 coil does! more surface area with the same power equals more vapor in comparison.
if the bec pro truly pushes 12 volts out of a high amp 18650 all the way up to 50 watts on a coil at almost 3 ohms it is technically enabling superior vape performance than a lot of the 2x18650 or 2x26650 mods with triple the max wattage.
a 150w box limited by a 7v max requires you to build a sub ohm coil of .32ohms or less to reach 150w at a rather high 21.42 amp drain on the battery. to reach the 50w matching the bec pro you have to build a .9, just barely subohm and at a little over 7amp drain on the battery. that's about a third of the resistance limit the bec pro can sport, and as stated, i think one of the main points of a regulated high wattage device is to be able to use large high resistance coils.
before i buy one of these things, especially knowing about the issues it has i really want to verify the custom chip smok is using genuinely pushes 12 volts. i have found the specs listed on some mods to be exaggerated when i look up the specs for the chipset they use in said mods. since the bec pro supposedly uses an in house chip i have only smok's word for it so far, and none of the threads i have read talk about this at all.
