I have a VV question for you guys, being I am such a VV noob. Will the VV Reo keep a stable setting much like the Provari does or will it go down with the batt?

Yep If I set it at 4.5 it vapes there in tell the battery's will give me 4.5 then it shuts off. :)

This is probably a dumb question, but I still have to ask ... if in fact one of the batteries drains first, and assuming the low voltage protection in the VV shuts it down, then would switching the batteries before recharging start it up again for a short time? If not, then I would assume the battery that drained the most actually drained lower than the low voltage protection in the VV. With two batteries in series, isn't the output voltage an average of them, which means one is above the low voltage and cutoff and the other below?

When I stack batteries the one on the neg side usually reads zero volts so rearranging them won't work. You can rearrange them half way through their useful cycle to prolong the battery life until they reach cutoff.

MX a question: have you tried with 5.5 v?
I ask, because I noticed that many VV circuits (except that of Provari), at high voltages, tend to lose stability and I often feel the gradual reduction of the battery power, even if slowly (obviously, not at the same level of mechanical PV). Instead, the thing is less noticeable if the VV is set with medium voltages, such as 4 to 4.5 v.

I have got my 2.5 up to about 5.1 with no issues that I have noticed. I will drop a 3.0 on this week and give it a shot at full power 5.5 and let you know what I get. Hope that works for you. I will also do a load test and post that info at 5.5v using a 3.0 atty

Thank you. I'll wait your post:)

BTW As u say, the under load test, with an atomizer attached, is very important.
For example, with the Grand and two Tenergy 3.2 v, so 6.4v total, the load test (with an atomizer attached) the volt indicator marks approximately 5.3-5.4 v
On some PV VV that I own, if imposed at 5.5 V, the test under load indicates about 5.4 v, then a VV generally (as expected) has nearly a net efficiency, while a mechanic loses about 1v under load.
I would like, therefore, to know how goes the Reo VV in a load test using a volt indicator.

Thank you my friend:)

Just dropping in for a second, again. I have one of those neat voltage meters that you screw onto the mod's atty connector. I'll check the voltage in a bit, on partially used batteries, and again later tonight. I'm vaping at about 4.6v using a 1.7 Resurector in a tank. In theroy, the mod chip, specifically Mike's chip, used in the Buzz Pro and VV REO is supposed to keep the voltage at what is set until one or both batteries can't supply enough voltage to supply what you have set it on.

Last night, when the voltage control chip cut off, on my BP, and I pulled the two 3 volt batteries out, note 3 volt and not 3.7 volt batteries, New Unused Tenergy LiFEP04 3v, the battery touching the positive terminal of mod, which is the top battery on the Buzz Pro and VV REO, read 2.50 v and the bottom one (touching negative terminal of mod) read 3.15 v. Remember that the voltage "rating" of a cell (battery as we mistakenly call them) is an approximate. The Tenergy 3v LiFEP04 batteries come off the charger a little above 3.2v. It looks like the bottom battery was hardly depleted. Interesting.

More testing to come. Right now I have two AW LiFEPO4 3v batteries in the BP set at 5.1v. (The Resurector carto, constantly flooded, in a tank, is now a week in use. I may need the higher voltage, for satisfaction, because of my throat healing and/or the carto is getting gunked and just needs more voltage to give satisfaction. It is probably a bit of both.)

I have cranked the voltage up to the highest and vaped a little like that, it held for an hour or so but it was my throat that couldn't take it any longer. My throat has been too sensitive to do that, much more, until today.

I ordered a few 3.7v AW IMR batteries from RTD, last night. I was making an atty order so threw a few in with the order. I made four orders, from four different places, so now I'm not sure where I ordered the AW batteries. The AW IMR are more expensive than we have to use with the chip that goes into the BP and VV REO and it is yet to be determined which 18xxx battery will give the longest performance or life of the battery, re. charge/discharge cycles.

{edit} yet to be reported, here, as to which battery will provide......

A correction. I reported, at one point, that I was using my tank, on BP, with a 1.7 ohm Resurector and had it up to 5.1v. That is incorrect. The carto tank has a 2.7 ohm carto in it. (I have the Resurector in an M1A1 1.5" tank, on SuperMini GLV, with gooseneck, currently set at 5.1, on the BP . Big DUH!!!! The GLV SuperMini has a 3.7v battery, AW protected.)

I tell ya the more and more I've been using this VV Reo Woodvil the more I'm liking it and running 2.5ohm Atty's on this machine. It really is performing so nicely, finding 3-3.5 a little to high now and the 2.5ohm really the perfect match up, then you adjust your voltage dialing it in you can adjust and tweak that 2.5ohm Atty to your likings. Also that 2.5ohm is really a nice resistance on an Atty and I'm finding it to be a new sweet spot for me where before I either ran lower or higher resistance Atty's to get the vape I liked, that's now changed 2.5ohm has a new meaning for me in sweet spot. YMMV just my own personal findings.

vv woodvil progress
The insides are done I have to make the doors and start profiling the boxes. My favorite part after that is sanding

Rob, I don't know what the Green colored wood is back in the back there, but that would change my mind about owning a wood mod! Absoloutely beautiful!!!!

The green mod is a stabilized burl I was suppose to have more of the stabilized but the wood supplier messed up my order
