Testing GGTS Under Load with Multimeter

[billyapd21]

I was wondering how to do this. I've recently switched all my connections to brass and want to seen the difference in volts under load. Also I want to clean all the contacts and threads and see if there's a difference.

Billy, I'm trying to figure out what your after, the continuity, voltage drop or amp draw?

For the voltage under load you have to have a parallel signal. I'm not sure if you see a change to hook up a wire to the positive side on your atty and lead the wire to the outside of it to be able to pick up your positive signal. Otherwise you have to somehow make an adapter in between the atty downwards with the positive terminal coming to he outside of the device.

Basically I want to see how many volts my ggts is putting out with a fresh battery under load and not under load. I hope that clears it up.

Then you just get an ecig in-line volt meter like this COV Voltage Meter add-on e-cig mod reviews

That will do the trick, or if you are handy with soldering and have a defect battery, atty and a voltmeter you make one yourself.

without load, the multimeter will show you the battery voltage, so no reason to messure it bill. Now, under load, you will not be able to see something because drop voltage depends on resistance. The bigger the resistance the lower the drop. If you really want to see if GG has small drop voltage you have to compare it with another mod. To my opinion there is no reason to do that too because GG is steel and have brass contacts. That means that you have to compare it with a same style e-cig. If for example you compare it with an all brass e-cig then GG will have more drop. If you compare it with an all Steel e-cig then GG will have less drop.

Those comparisons where good only when people were trying to find the best materials to make an e-cig. In our days the best combination is what GG has, that is a strong construction made from SS and brass contacts for the best contactivity.

The conclusion is that you have already the best and there is no need to test anything

My one ggts has brass connections one has steel. I wanted to see the differences. I might buy one of those in line meters from COV

If you wanted to see the delta, shouldn't you have tested it before AND after?

 

[imeothanasis]

Ah, then you will notice the difference buddy. I didnt know that you wanted to test 2 GGs

Also, cleaning contacts and threads you will see a big difference bill. I believe that cleaning and shining contacts and cleaning threads you will earn at least 0,2 volts

Don't forget always to tighten enough the telescope on the extension sleeve if you use them.
It reacts like one piece

I know the brass contacts make a huge difference. Especially the axis post. I was having a lot of problems with the kick not working with the ss connections. Once I switched to brass everything was solved. I've been doing some testing and if I just swap out the ss axis for the brass axis the kick will work.

Also, I'm looking to buy a brass axis and brass connection if someone has an extra.

Ask Greek seller or wait for Bruce bill. I will send him brass axises together with Ithaka batch

Load testing can be usefull for other things also. For instance it is all fair and good to say I make .8 ohm coils and push them ad 4.1 volts which is 21 watts but if I am losing .3v under load it is really only 18 watts. I guess some would say it doesn't matter if you like it you like it. However many of us are curious to know what the actual numbers are. Granted these numbers are made up but the point is the same.

 

[manos3906]

the actual numbers...............
iatty with duals at 0,7ohms,same battery at the two mods that i made the measurement,and the same atomaizer
GGTS under load with battery at 4volt: 3,4volts
other mod 3.2volts

That's a high drop manos

It isn't that abnormal though. When I got my first kick I noticed it started stutter firing at 3.6-3.7v depending on how much brass and how clean it was. I contacted Evolv and read through a bunch of the kick threads and it seems the general consensus is that .4-.6 is kinda normal in high drain situations.

 

[manos3906]

have you ever tryied duals?
thats a normally drop
i forgott to mention that the other mod ,some people said that is better then GGTS (lol)

Never occured to me to measure the drop with duals

PS:Nothing is better than GGTS
