Someone should make one of these.....

[retired1]

I was watching a review on the iTaste SVD when I had an idea. The better batteries have a readout that tells you what the resistance is for the (insert favorite tank, clearomizer, etc. here) you've attached. You can then set your voltage and/or wattage accordingly.

Why hasn't someone made a battery that adjusts automatically for "optimum" results? Doesn't have to be locked in, but it sure would be nice to have a "smart battery" that adjusted itself for the (insert favorite tank, clearomizer, etc. here). You could then adjust up or down for your personal tastes.

No no no no no. I don't want to set it. I want the DEVICE to set it initially. Then, if it's not to my liking, I can fiddle and fine tune the settings on it.

Just my but it would only be setting it for the carto & not for the juice that's in the carto. I might like my 3ohm carto set at 5volts with my cinnamon roll but I don't want it that high for my fruit blends. I do get you point though. All things in due time my friend...I'm sure it's coming.

The Innokin iTaste VV will give you a suggested voltage when you attach a addy. It doesn't set it for you tho.

 

[SupplyDaddy]

eVic does that.

eVic does that.

NO! You're not supposed to say that! (retired1 scurries off to look up eVics and pricing...)

As I said, it should set it based on the carto, and you can adjust it from there. I found things to be extremely confusing when I started researching e-cigs. Variable voltage, ohms, don't set the voltage too high, etc etc etc. So it occurred to me that a battery that sets the voltage for you based on the resistance of the carto would be an excellent first step for someone just getting into vaping.

Supply Daddy to the rescue!

He's got the vapers shopping syndrome! We're all infected! Hope it's what you're looking for Retired1! I definitely understand! I'm over 3 months in & sometimes its still confusing!

P.S. Sorry if I didn't totally understand your question.

Don't most of the VW devices do that? You set it for your desired wattage, and no matter what you put on top (within the power available to the mod) it automatically adjusts the voltage to produce that amount of watts of heat?

I have no idea. I'm too new at this to know the ins and outs of all the neat toys out there. I thought it would display the resistance of the carto, and then you adjusted the voltage accordingly.

It's called VW. In order to set the watts...it has to read the ohms. So any "VW" (Variable Wattage) device sets that.

Basically watts = Voltage squared / ohms. So it needs the ohms and then calculates the volts to achieve the watts setting (V=SQRT(watts * ohms))

EDIT: Dang internet. I took too long typing and got beat! Kudos DavidOck

It's all good! I'm not one who gets bent out of shape over a misunderstanding.

And I gotta stay out of the "pic" threads. My wish list is growing by leaps and bounds and I've only been at it a week!

I got the wife an eVic.... After you install the software to your computer and plug the dang thing in, you can set many "variables".
Now, when I put a new or different carto/tank on it, it reads the ohms and sets it to it's suggested volts/watts (which ever you have selected..)

Wife loves it and vapes what ever it gets set on. I hate it as I like 7 watts and it never is set to that.. LOL
I set my VAMO to 7 watts and it does it. Simple!

So what would the advantage be to setting things at a higher or lower wattage?

Personal Preference!

 

[AttyPops]

It's just higher/lower heat. (Watts = heat/work).

So "It does the math for you". Otherwise...how do you know where to set the voltage for a given resistance? Use a chart? Do the math? Or let it do the math if you "set the watts".

Basically, I've been advocating a "color coded no numbers" e-cig. You know...blue = cooler, red= hotter with a gradient and a simple thumb dial. Put on a new atty/carto/tank and turn it down. Turn it up until you like the vape. You don't know or care about #'s at all!

I'm not buying that one for a second. Unless it's nothing more than a marketing gimmick?

There has to be some advantage to setting it at a higher wattage (or lower). Battery life? Amount of vapor?

 

[yzer]

Some advanced variable wattage APVs like the Sigelei ZMAX will do this function for you. Set for variable wattage. Adjust to the watt value you want (say seven watts) and the ZMAX will automatically give you seven watts regardless of the resistance of the atomizing device you stick on it. Not even Provari does that.

I believe there is a easy setting on the Vamo that does exactly that....automatically.....That's it....I just going to have to purchase a Vamo to answer your question. By the way.....got any questions on the Provari????
