wattage question

[Ryan Kelly]

so i see people doing reviews on dna 30 devices and they seem almost ecstatic that they can vape on them all the way up at 30 watts. when i vape my usual .35 ohm build on any of my mech mods i am vaping at right around 50 watts. so my question is why do these people like rip trippers find it so incredible to be able to vape up to 30 watts on a device when they can use a mech mod and vape at a much higher wattage? is it better to vape a low ohm build at a lower wattage? so like why would i spend hundreds of bucks to be able to vape at 30 watts or less when my 40 dollar turtleship clone can vape at whatever wattage my build puts out (50)?

Some folks prefer power regulation, power adjustability, a display screen of some sort with built in battery level indicator ohms checker and safety features.
Some actually prefer mechanicals for some reason.

Topwater Elvis already gave you the low down on high power regulated mods. BTW, you can get them up to 100 watts these days.

It's not just about the maximum power you can get from your device, there's so much more to it

Because they can do it at higher ohms.

Because they can do it at higher ohms.................. obviously.

makes sense. thank you

First off, you're not getting 4.2volts, definitely a good bit less with that much load on a battery.

I use mechs, but I'm in the market for a dna, or similar, bottom feeder.. unless I have time to build my own. I have a 0.3ohm dual 'parallel' build - good bit of wire.. I've gone through 3 vtc5's today. I don't just sit around and chain vape.. but regardless, that's a lot of heat coming from that atomizer, which impacts performance of the battery.. not to mention, just the slightest difference in temperature will affect a flavor, and not all flavors react the same.

Also, 30 watts from start to finish... and use of standard resistances at 30 watts.

i was simply asking a question. thank you for answering you actually gave me a good answer i just don't understand why you have to be so rude about it. i don't think you knew everything there is to know about vaping 3 months in either. sorry for seeking help on the E-CIGARETTE forum. ill try not to be so dumb from now on. sorry to bother you edyle

Sorry.

I do that sometime.

By your estimation how long is it you think you are getting 50watts for?

I didn't get it either until I got a DNA 30 device. Being able to push 30 watts throughout a batteries life is great. With a mech and a .3 ohm build sure you get a great vape for a while but ultimately your battery is going to drop off and the vape is going to get less and less satisfactory. With a DNA 30 I get 30 watts until my battery is down to 3.2 volts. I always charged my batteries with a mech at 3.7-3.8 due to voltage drop and the less satisfactory vape as the battery ran down. It's also amazing to build giant coils and still push a good amount of power. Right now I have dual 13 wrap micro coils that measure to .8 ohms on my tobh atty which would be far from ok on a mechanical but with the ability to push a consistent 5 volts with a DNA 30 it's sublime. There is no dropoff and every vape is the exact same. Don't get me wrong, I still use my nemesis to vape .2 or .3 ohms but have really fallen in love with .6 to 1 ohm on my dna 30 due to the consistent vape and high power that is available

Because you're not really at 50w.. that's a theoretical based on 4.2v. In reality you have voltage drop reducing you to ~4v right off the bat (about 3.9 or 40w), and after a few pulls, you'll start dropping lower. Then it just keeps dropping... And thats on a new, perfect battery that is actually charged to the peak 4.2v.

You are still vaping at 4.1/2 to 3.5 volts depending on the battery charge. The wattage only comes into play when you do the Math, 4.1V Sq / .35R = 48W. That changes as the battery voltage drops.

With a Regulated Mod you built your coil at a resistance so you are still vaping at your preferred voltage and not exceeding the wattage and Amp limit of the regulated Mod.


The surprising thing is you are using a Mech and haven't completely figured that out yet. Just sayin.

Question for TrentTC, when you are pushing that coil setup how long does your DNA30 device last? When I go in that range (just took out my dual coil .7 ohm from my tugboat) at 30 watts it doesn't last long at all, I can practically see the battery indicator drop after each hit lol. Its nice for sure while it last, it just doesn't last very long. I'm thinking of using my DNA30 (vaporshark) for tank atty's exclusively now because I can vape for well over a day, closer to two full days, with 1.5 ohms on a single coil build (albeit that is around 12-15 watts depending on the juice).

 

[TrentTC]

The battery life on mine is pretty good. I can go almost a whole day with a .8 ohm coil pushing 25-30 watts. I have a 2500 mah battery in it though whereas the vaporshark dna 30 only has a 1200 mah battery.

I like the regs for consistency and saftey. I like mechs for hybrid vaping. I can go high wattage either way when I feel like it which is not often as I vape all day long. I prefer a semi warm vape anyway even on a .6 build.

I trust myself and my builds for safety.
Relying on a $20 circuit board for safety doesn't reassure me.

I have a 30w device. Not impressed.
Eats batteries.

12.5 amp limit.
