Pretty good power management on the sevo70.

2.5 days on a single 30q. I could probably get this to 800 before I'm done for the evening.

Love low wattage vaping.
The SEVO 70 is a very power efficient board.

My main daily vape for the past few months has been two SXK delro clones and two BBs.
One of each has a DNA 60 and the other a SEVO 70.
Using the same builds in all my RBAs - 5 wrap fused claptons @ around 0.6 Ohms, I started noticing how much better battery life the SEVOs were giving.

So I started a rough experiment and have been vaping the two Delros (2200mAh lipos) pretty much alternatively puff for puff for a couple of weeks now - no doubt I get about an extra 30 percent battery life with the SEVO compared to the DNA 60.

Even though I bought the Delros at the same time, I thought maybe it was to do with the individual batteries so I checked with a friend. @Fredman1 (OG poster of this thread) also has two Delros-one with a DNA and one with a SEVO. He also noticed better battery life with the SEVO.

I'm not saying it's a better chipset, just that it's mmore efficient. I still prefer the vape I get with the DNA.

That's interesting. So what are those running SEVO boards running their voltage to the coils at? badinfluence357 0.55Ω @ 32 watts calculates at 4.2v. All of my builds I use 3.0v or lower. So all of my vaping requires the buck converter part of the board (always less than battery voltage). There are two different efficiencies for a board, one for the buck (most efficient) and one for the step up [aka boost] (least efficient). Since they use two different methods for each.

I always build to buck.

.55 ohm @ 15 watts. 2.87 volts. Under the cutoff for the cell and estimated current draw of only 5a at the input of the regulator.

I'm at 870 puffs now. Battery charger is reading this cell at 3.0v. The sevo has a pretty low cutoff as well. I'm guessing it shows low bat at around 900 puffs.

3 full days from a single battery isn't too bad.

That's very interesting diagrammatiks. You can set the cell cutoff on the DNA as low as 2.50v I believe. I just checked one DNA60 and this one is set at 2.75v. I forget what the default setting is. I set mine low, not to run them that low, but just in case I am out and about without spares and a charger that I can keep vaping away.

ya seems like cutoff on the sevo is right below 3.0

running it in sbs mode currently. now if I can only get my Boros to behave this well.

I wish someone would design a boro rba where the airflow wasn’t just hole from bottom to top. Just terrible.

I vape my 0.6 Ohm builds at 22W so would be running at 3.6V.
I'd never thought about it before - I guess some of my vaping is buck and some boost.

How much juice is that? 2ml per 18650 is pretty common for me and I believe I have squeezed 15ml from a three 18650 cell mod before (5ml per cell). Peoples nicotine consumption depends on their needs and nicotine strength. But for my average, 2ml will last me like 4 to 6 hours worth.

around 7ml

I've got 2 mods with the SEVO 70 and if I'm in mech mode, when you hit the fire button ti will flash the wattage you last used in watts mode and then show the wattage as per ohms law. Kind of weird, must be a feature.:)
Further to the discussion about SEVO 70 boards, here's some tech specs from the manual:
