I read through that thread. It was pretty painful to watch. I'm sure the guy with the metering equipment got the results he said he did. I'm also sure that it doesn't matter very much in the real world, practical end of this.

Yesterday I wrote a review of the e-power. I did have a few atomizer/cartomizer issues there but I'm pretty confident these things can be worked out with a little education on my part and some experimentation.

I got 9.5 hours on a single epower battery yesterday. The last hit I took on the device was so strong it looked like I was Cheech Marin in my car. Then the light blinked and then I knew it was time to recharge. So yes, maybe on a meter theres some variation. But it isn't noticeable enough to warrant all this high drama about it.

ok so i didnt realize there would be so much fuss so dan and chris i am sorry i originally brought it up. i dont really like testing stuff this way its boring and not much fun. i am however building a vv and wanted to know what the stuff i use every day is doing so i dont burn up my carts and such.
the epower is a good unit and if thats the look you like then just get it.
same with the vv ego - sweet little unit and does what it says 3 selectable voltages with charge display.
i love them both and use them a lot. but for sake of keeping the peace i wont comment any more about any regulation or volts or whatever.
just want to vape lol
thanks for bringing us all the cool stuff guys keep up the good work
:vapor:
 
Again, I don't understand: Why is it so bad and such a faux pas for people to actually measure and report what GV products are actually doing? One way Dan and Chris could nip this in the bud is to publish some proper specs or measurements and give out complete info about the operation of their products.

Why not do that? If customers (or potential customers) have questions it is really THEIR repsonsibility to provide the information, no?

your totaly missing it, you can do all of that stuff all you want, im discussing the issue of people calling others crooks and your saying we dont want people measuring things which is off base, you and anyone can do that here all day long. We proiced info, info given form the factory, it isnt made up out of thin air. So once again have a ball with it but i will not tolerate name calling. Just that simple. If it happens again it gets deleted.

measure all you like and have a ball with it. Daniel is actually getting as much detailed infor for you guys form the factory and will report it.

Dan and Chris have provided a wealth of information. I assume you have not read a lot of the forums because you claim holds no merit. I have seen the both of them keep their customers up to date with what is going on to the best of their ability. I have also seen the both of them listen to customers about what they think about products regarding improvements or if the product just is not good.


You say you dont understand...you don't want to understand IMO. :blink:

Okay, then, here's my question:

Does the e-power switch regulate the output (or just output the battery voltage straight to the atomizer), and if it does,
does it use a real regulator like a linear or switcher, or a pseudo-type regulation like a PWM scheme (which is really just varying the duty cycle)?

Any information you have about this would be appreciated. And I still maintain that proper specs is the way to go, if you can't produce them yourself you should be able to get them from your manufacturer. I see no such information (for instance, what the current limit of the switch is) posted anywhere about this device.
