Guess What Day It Is? :D

The dna 30 doesn’t down regulate output below 4v.
evolve provides spec sheets you can read on every 'chip' they produce.
The clone doesn’t down regulate below 3.6v.

This means, until the battery voltage falls below the above minimums you will be vaping at a higher power than what is displayed on the screen.
That is unless you use very narrow & specific resistance range that makes the power range selected possible.

Important that folks read chip specs before purchasing.

Most low to mid power ranger vapers will be much better off / happier with newer devices having newer technology 'chips'.
(full down regulation capabilities)

A cheap Pico (or similar) is hard to beat & is more advanced than even the very best older 'chips'.

Me likey my older chips. Mmmm hmmmm. ;)

Breakfast Purritos! :wub:

LOL!!


Because the dna 30 & many others do not down regulate/step down/buck voltage output or do not down regulate/step down/buck to a voltage that will provide an equal in power you normally vape, it may be very important to you to get a device that is capable of supplying the output range you desire.
example,
your preference.
3.3v / 1.5Ω = 7.2w
3.4v / 1.5Ω = 7.7w

dna 30 & many others, figures vary depending on ability to down regulate.
The minimum output voltage is the voltage that will be sent to the coil until the battery voltage drops to 3.6ish v - 3.8ish v depending on battery voltage sag under load.
4v / 1.5Ω = 10.6w

So no matter what the screen shows you will be vaping at 10+w until the battery voltage drops to a level that makes it possible, ohms law.

Voltage & wattage are inseparably linked.
Voltage to the coil met with resistance = watts
Watts sent to the coil met with resistance = voltage.
4v /1.5Ω = 10.6w
10.6w / 1.5Ω = 4v

To get to your preferred power range of 7.2w - 7.7w with a 4v output minimum, the narrow resistance range I mentioned would be 2.0Ω to 2.2Ω.
4v / 2.2Ω = 7.2w
4v / 2.0Ω = 7.7w

Simply put, the dna 30 & others have a minimum v output of 4v.
you like to vape at 3.3v - 3.4 v,,, it isn't capable of providing 3.3v to the coil because it has a 4v minimum output.

I don't consider vaping a hobby either, only a means to keep off the smokes.

It is impossible to say whether you will like it or not, you might love vaping a 1.5Ω at 10w, many do.
My normal everyday vape is 1.6Ω - 1.8Ω at 10.6w - 17w.

I DO love your posts, T'Elvis!

I could've been very specific but shied away from it due to the enormous amount of provape hate that rears its ugly backside.
All provape power devices are not only capable of down regulation but do it extremely well.
So, older 'chips' excluding provape devices.

Gosh, dare I, even some newer will not 'test' & meet even near their claimed specs.

No worries (makes total sense) - zero Provi hate here. ;)

Thanks for that. If it's like the cubis, I'm definitely NOT interested!

Oh it is the cubis.
I just wish TW would state that on their site.
Who needs different names for the same exact product!
I was told they're known for this rebranding, but since I have started receiving their emails I have found it to be almost always the case.

Another reason to shed a tear for the fall of provari.

Sorry Toolman, I just can't help myself....
ProVape, ProVape,,, P r o V a p e,,,
Provari was a model of a power device produced by ProVape.

Toolman as in tool pusher? or snap on?, or as in a person that has several of every tool available for any given job?

You are right of course.. That was a quick drive-by post and I Freudian slipped on it :)
If you OCD is good now I'm good LOL.

Toolman as in I got that name from a buddy when the TV show Home Improvement was popular because Tim Allen's character was Tim "The Toolman" Taylor and my last name is Taylor :)

Five years ago today,.that device literally changed my life.

Yep. Tears were shed... (recently).
I waited to get a Radius until almost too late... thankfully once I got one, in the classies, multiple others showed up and I now have 4 Radius and were a price I won't disclose because everyone will be jelly :)

Probably were that price because of the demise so its a catch 22 for me but I'd rather Provape (happy @Topwater Elvis :)) still be in biz for sure and I'd have had to pay more.

Total PROVARI love here. 1.8 ohm at an exciting 7.2watts. Livin on the edge here!
