Wattage meter thingy?

[Scottinboca]

I'm not sure where to post this question, so General Discussion will do. I want to know if anyone makes an inline wattage meter for a pv. I have a volt meter and I want to try to keep track of watts b/c I hate when cartos/attys change their resistance with usage and you burn the juice and it doesn't taste good once you get that burnt hit. I don't want to constantly keep taking off my carto or atty to check the ohm's. I know the Darwin would be prefect, but I can't afford it. I also know that the Provari checks resistance, but I can't afford that either. I love my Foxy Box mod and I would be set if I could get an inline watt meter. I don't know if anyone sells or makes them. Please let me know.

I've never heard of 1 but evolv (company that did the Darwin) is coming out with something call the kick and it will let you dial up whatever watt you want and keep it there. You should be able to add it to your pv but its still in beta phase currently

I know all about The Kick from Evolv. I been following it closely. It may be a while yet till its release. I also saw the video w/ Brandon and he said it would only go to 10 to maybe 10.5 watts. I was hoping that there was an affordable meter out there that could measure wattage for my vv box mods.

Bump to for this thread!

are you talking about an under load voltage meter? like this? Other Products

Noting smaller than say a cigarette box sized device (used for hobby RC planes, etc.) and pricey as well. You could look into watt meters for bicycle pedals, but I think the technology is still a way off though. Have you thought about temperature monitoring at all ?

An inline watt-meter would be difficult (but not impossible) as it would need to measure the resistance of the atty (as well as battery voltage) to perform the calculation.
