VV Bogger Box and a .5 OHM Atomizer [Not Typo]

[niczgreat]

I couldn't resist it.

So I had to take my Bogger to the limit in Xtreme vaping.

The VV Bogger Box is supposed to go to 7v and have a 5 Amp Switch.

1st Test Took a 1.8 Ohm Cartomizer and set it to 7V. My Meter confirmed that the Voltage coming out was 7V
but under load it went to 6V
Now 6V at 1.8Ohm is 3.33 Amps and 20 Watts.

2nd Test
Took a 2.8 OHm Cartomizer and set it to 7V. Meter confirming 7V
Again under load it went to 6V
Now 6V at 2.8 is 2.14 Amps and 13 Watts.

Now I'm going crazy because the Apv should have gone above 6v.
Less Amps, Less Watts on a 2.8. What is the limitation stopping it from going above
6V.

So I decided to go further and do a 1.5Ohm [Tested at 1.6Ohm] at 7v
Again under load it went to 5.92 which is close enough to 6
Now 6V at 1.6 is 3.75 Amps and 22.5 Watts

I'm at my local vape shop and he had a RBA Built at .53 Resistance
So I fire it up at the maximum 7V and get the following
3.8V at .53 Ohm is 7amps at 27Watts

This last result surprised me. According to the spec of 5 Amp switch it shouldn't have gone above 2.75V

Conclusion:
The VV Bogger Box is capable of Xtreme vaping. If you don't want to go Mechanical and enjoy the benefits of VV this APV will give you close to the performance of a mechanical. Chris at Ecig City in Hacienda Heights says that his mechanical with the battery fully charged will give him 4.2 on the .53 Ohm Atomizer, but it quickly goes down. So the Bogger was very close but has the stacked batteries and VV to sustain voltage.

It doesn't bother me that I couldn't make the Bogger Box do over 6V, I'm figuring that the 6V output is a circuitry thing. Has to be because it was capable of 7Amps and 27 Watts. 1.5ohm at 5.92V is some pretty extreme vaping. [Burned up the Atomizer]

The newest technology in Atomizers is RBA and the VV Bogger Box had no problems with a .53HM RBA. This is very significant for those considering going the RBA route.

If any experts would like to chime in why the Bogger Box put out 7V but under load couldn't go above 6v, I'm all ears.

If I had to guess, I'd say it might just be a limitation of the pair of batts you are using. - I think you mentioned what you are using for batts in another thread, but I forgot... What are you using?

my beast box surprised me, i haven't tested it's limits yet but with a 6 amp switch and 8.4v limit it should be able to handle just about anything, the dual 26500's make sure it lasts a while as well lol

edit: also with the whole "under load" thing, it's just something that happens, a full volt is a little much maybe you can test it at normal vape settings and see how much it drops to give a ballpark range

Do you happen to have a mechanical tube mod that can take a pair of 18350s? If so, the load drop would be easy to test excluding the regulator. I did a bunch of testing of that nature about a year and a half ago and often participated in threads discussing such things. - I can't give you an apples-to-apples comparison from the testing I did because the vast majority was with just 1.5 ohm dual coils only, but one of the things I found was in line with your results. I saw the load voltage with a 1.5 ohm DC in a mechanical tube of most of the batts I tested to end up around 5.9v. I had a couple of outliers: Notably, I found a couple of li-on protecteds that didn't have working protection circuits that gave me some varying results (explained by the non-working protection circuits) and I found that the blue BDL 18350s had almost a whole volt less drop than the AWs. -- I was very surprised by the BDLs due to their less than stellar reputation among both vapers and flashlight guys -> and I will add that the half dozen or so BDL 18650s I had at the time just sucked.

I don't know if that information will help in your testing or not, but maybe?

It only changes by around .14 when in normal range.

Just out of curiosity, is it possible to use a single 18650 battery in your Bogger Box VV?
e.g Will it power up and vape well?

 

[niczgreat]

No won't' work with the single 18650
