Step down capability?

[alongo]

What dna or any variable wattage chips or devices have the step down capability . i have the svd20 watt and love it, it has the step down capability. Seems like my sigelei 20watt has it. Want to buy a vapor flask but cannot find pop ut if it has it. Thanks for any info. Al

It does and the info. is in the specs, or are you looking at a fake one?

what is step down mean?

what is step down mean?

It means that the mod has the capability to put out less voltage than what the battery is putting out. For instance; the DNA 30 did NOT have step-down, so below a certain wattage it would just be dumping raw battery power into the atty. With step-down, the mod can regulate down below the voltage of the battery and put out less voltage to the atty......

Thank you.

thanks for the explanation.
how to knowing that a regulated device has a step down capability?
are ipv2x and sigelei 100w have step down capability?

 

[Topwater Elvis]

By reading the spec sheet on the chip used in it.

IVP2x YiHi SX330v2s 60W, no
Sigelei 100w SX330 V3 100W, yes

The new FT Hana full size and mini size 50 watt clones have step down and they work great.

I wonder if my sigelei 20W has it. I can find good spec sheet. It says it is firing below battery voltage. Bu y that could be what it should be firing at and not ehay it actually is.

You can also forget the iPV Mini ...

It uses the YiHi SX130 chipset that does not have Buck Converter (cannot output less voltage than battery voltage)

Here is a test I did using an iPV Mini and a Kayfun Lite Plus with a 1.3 ohm single coil .... Battery voltage at the time was 3.8v

As you can see, the voltage measured at the coil screws when the coil was burning never was able to go below the 3.8 battery voltage:

Well my IPV Mini fires 3.75v off a freshly charged 4.19v Samsung 25r. At lowest setting on 1.4ohm coil. So it's doing something.

Was that 3.75v measured with a multimeter attached to the coil screws when being fired, or just what you read on the display screen of your iPV Mini when you pressed the fire button?

 

[MegaVap]

Leads touching posts when firing.
With multimeter.
Display read 2.6v

Well, I am stumped ... Your multimeter indicated 2.6v when the multimeter's test leads were placed on the posts / coil screws of the atomizer while the fire button was being pressed and the coil burning.

I just don't know what to say.

Were you in DC-DC mode on the iPV Mini?

 

[MegaVap]

I'm sorry I should have been more clear. The IPV Mini displayed 2.6v but the output was actually 3.75v on a fully charged battery.
I was in DC-DC mode yes.

 

[Flt Simulation]

3.75v ... Ok ... well that is a slight step down from your 4.19 battery voltage, but certainly not enough of a step down needed to get the 2.6v that was displayed on the Mini at the time.
