These are my results testing my new Tekk Mod VV's voltage, which I received last Friday, November 19, 2010, at different wheel settings. This was
after I fried the two cartos and one atomizer mentioned in my above posts.
For these pictures I'll call the two small posts that stick up on the white plastic wheel above the black wheel "
nubs."
When I say moving the wheel to the "right," I mean that, viewing from the top of the Tekk Mod VV, the black wheel would be revolving counter-clockwise, and to the "left" would be clockwise.
I tested my new Tekk Mod VV on a volt meter (DMM - Digital Multi-Meter) Saturday night and got the following results:
(The comments about pictures are below the pictures.)
Picture 1:
For a reading with the black wheel indicator pretty much in the centered position between the white nubs the reading was
3.6 volts.
Picture 2:
For a reading with the black wheel indicator close to directly under the left white nub the reading was
3.0 volts.
Picture 3:
For a reading with the black wheel indicator close to directly under the right white nub the reading was
6.1 volts.
Picture 4:
For a reading with the black wheel indicator revolved to the right just at the edge of the case, where the black wheel feels like it wants to "
click" if it is pushed further, the reading was
7.8 volts.
Note: After playing with the black wheel, taking these pictures, and looking at the whole thing through binocular magnification, I think the reason the black wheel feels like it is going to "click" if pushed further while at this position is because the black wheel indicator is actually slightly hitting the edge of the case.
Picture 5:
For a reading with the black wheel indicator just past the point where it feels like it "
clicks" and slightly behind the case on the right the reading was
8.0 volts.
Picture 6:
For a reading with the black wheel indicator fully revolved to the right, behind the right side of the case till the wheel stops, the reading was
8.1 volts.
Now the really goofy voltage readings.
Picture 7:
For a reading with the black wheel indicator just to the right of the right nub the reading was
8.0 volts.
Picture 8:
For a reading with the black wheel indicator just barely toward the center position, right of the left nub, the reading was
8.1 volts.
I got a lot of other weird ~8.x volt readings at various different positions, from nearly full left to center and beyond... too many to take pictures of each.
Sometimes the voltage will read about what you think it should, and if you then touch the wheel just a little, to very slightly move it, and take another reading it will then read ~8.x volts.
I really don't think this can be right. Right? On the web page of the product's description that is
here it reads:
"This variation of the Tekk mod now features a dial on the bottom of the device that allows anywhere from 1.25v to 5.8v (approx) vaping."
Another thing I notice is that my wheel is up-side-down from the picture in the first post in this thread left by you, NHaler, that is here:
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/nhaler/109196-multi-voltage-dial-tekk-mod.html#post1648592
and looks like this:
I know that doesn't necessarily mean the connectors were soldered backwards, but could they have been? I would think I would, at least, get negative voltage readings if they were.
Where do we go from here?
Thx!

I love buying USA. Maybe I'll get a PT elsewhere and try those US batteries. I've got your site bookmarked and I'm intrigued by your store's quality over quantity. I bet I'm a customer some time next month. Thanks for replying.
