Well, yes. Which is why I said it. I’m running VW TC. Looking for how many V I’m drawing. I suspect it’s higher than it would be with a traditional single coil.
By design, a regulated circuit separates the coil from the battery, so coil resistance does not contribute to battery drain - your prescribed wattage does (or voltage if using a VV device). You set your device to 50 watts, regardless of the
coils resistance, the circuit will request 50 watts from the cells plus a little for efficiency.
The circuit will take that 50 watts from the cells and convert it as needed to be applied to your coil. 50 watts into a 0.5 ohm coil = 5 volts 10 amps. 50 watts into a 0.15 ohm coil is 2.74 volts 18.26 amps. Both cases are still 50 watts and at the battery, 50 watts with a single 3.7 volt charge cell = 13.5 amps minus what is required for efficiency.
You own a DNA, open Escribe then the Device Monitor. You can plot the battery drain along with voltage and current at the coil. Using the same wattage with different resistances, battery drain is not influenced by coil resistance.
Mesh
coils do not eat batteries with a regulated device. A users prescribed wattage is what contributes to battery drain.
And to add, mesh is inherently low resistance. For a set prescribed wattage, the lower the resistance the lower the voltage but current increases. Calculated as such V = √PxR then I = V/R. So to say a low resistance coil requires more voltage is incorrect.
