Happy happy Birthday Mr. Bee! My father in law's bday was yesterday and my father's bday is tomorrow....you're in good company my friend... I hope you have a wonderful day!
Mr. Mundy.. Thanks for showing me the light..I see it now. I don't necessarily mind that I have increased my operating wattage by reducing my v drop. I am very happy to hear of longer battery life. With your vicious circle analogy, I now have a new question.
Let's suppose that I changed my coil so that I was matching my original power (watts). Would my power savings then increase to 40% longer battery life while producing the same vaping experience I was at before? Or in your calculation, was that the 20% increase?
I may have to make a new one of these...as this one makes the battery very difficult to put in and remove. Pictures soon
Thanks,
Geo
The 20% was based on changing the coil resistance to about 1.2 ohms.
But wait, it should actually be more than that if you changed the coil to 1.2 ohms.
I would have to know the battery voltage when you change batteries and the discharge curve of the battery at your load to figure that and that's not happening so math fails me as to how much.
With your existing coil you have increased your amperage by about 5.5% so your battery will deplete at a faster rate.
However your getting about 31% more power to the coil so you can vape to a lower battery voltage.
That is assuming you change the battery when the vape depletes to the same level as when you changed the battery before.
That is what I didn't take that into consideration before.
Screw math and give feedback as to how much juice you use before you change batteries as compared to before.
In real life with similar coil resistance to yours, AW1600mah batteries, brass firing pin, and 10A fuse I am vaping about 1/3 more juice before I change batteries now.
Got to stop thinking now, as sometimes I think myself into a vicious cycle.
