So I bought a Tobeco dna 30 basically so I could have a regulated device to make a sub ohm coil and tried it out with my kayfun. I'm using a coil my ProVari and ohm meter see as 1.7 but the DNA reads as 1.6, but this is no big deal. What I do have a slight issue with however is that anytime I try to fire the thing under 10 watts, it flashes the ohm reading at me telling me there is too little power to regulate. Well I did some math (dangerous for me) and checked a volts to ohms chart to be sure, and found that I really shouldn't be vaping this over 3.9 volts. It's too hot. It doesn't seem to be scorching, but I'm a little annoyed in principle. If I build a .8 Ohm coil will I still have to vape at 10 watts/4.2 volts? I just don't like stressing my kit. I know with kanthal wire I have a bit more room to maneuver, but it's still troublesome. I'm still pretty new to vaping, am I missing something? Thanks for any help!

Under battery voltage this unit functions as a mechanical there is no regulation, this is the design.
The DNA 20 and 30 uses a boost circuit so it doesn't regulate down. When the ohms are flashing that indicates it's below the threshold of where it can regulate and in that case it's using the battery voltage, as the battery voltage drops it will eventually get to a point where it does start regulating and the ohms will stop flashing.
If you want full regulation from 7 - 30 watts on a fresh battery you'll need to build your coil at a higher ohm 2.0 ohms or higher should be fine actually probably 2.l or higher since your clone seems to be reading low.
