@United States – can you actually tell the difference between .5 and 1 watt? I’m asking not questioning cause I can’t tell the difference.

I vote for 1 watt increments. 0.1 watt increments irks me to no belief!
I absolutely can tell. Have always been able to.

Yeah, I wondered that too. Especially with the wattage settings used. @Letitia if you can do that, you may become highly sought after by electrical testing places, perfumiers, I don't know, for your super senses.

I've gone from like 9 watts to 64 accidentally and not noticed right away. LOL to be fair those scenarios usually occur while I'm driving and hence, less attention to the vape. But, I've say, gone from 10 to 26 at home, and not noticed (at least the first few puffs).

This is what has caused me to like, learn to lock my settings but I think I may need you to come over to "calibrate" all my mods.

Are you saying you could tell the difference between let's say 15.0 and 15.1 (or 50.0 and 50.1) watts in a blind test?
Maybe not, but I can tell a difference between 15 and 15.3. I voted for .5 as it seems a logical compromise.

Just Me and My Taste Buds.

But I find that as I use More and More Wattage, the Detectable Variation of Wattage because Less and Less.

So the Difference of 0.1 at 15 Watts is Different then the (Undetectable) Difference at 50 Watts.

And if I could somehow vape at 150 Watts, I probably Couldn't tell the Difference between 150W and 155W.

I should disclose this:
I posted a request for this (change 0.1w for 1w steps) in the official Joyetech forums and the tech support promised to forward this to the developers. Few days later this thread was started.. go figure.

So it would be really nice if many people could give their vote here. There's a real chance they're going to change the existing system for the better.

Maybe not, but I can tell a difference between 15 and 15.3. I voted for .5 as it seems a logical compromise.
o_O oK. Remarkable.

Probably not at that high (for my current gear) 15 watts. But if blindfolded and someone handed me a mod capable of less than 7 Watts, with my setup on it, and asked me to dial in my perfect vape, odds are it would come in with a .1 increment.

I absolutely can tell. Have always been able to.

Is that a blind or sighted testing (meaning you know you made the adjustment). Have someone else make that .1 adjustment and cover the screen with tape so you cannot see what it is set at. Do this several times and report back your findings.

I’d be curious to know if these mods even have the resolution to output a .1 increment change. What it says on the display and what is measured at the 510 connection could be vastly different.

Fair enough. Not questioning your ability to blindly detect such small increments. Just thought it would be interesting to know whether there is a valid reason to having a mod(s) with such detailed adjustability. Removing the visual aspect of a taste test means we will not be influenced by what we see. That is of course assuming the equipment we use has the resolution to make such fine adjustments. That, I do question.

It is well documented that one sense can influence another.

What @zoiDman said - small changes lost at high power can make a difference down at, say, 8 watts.

If they want to fiddle with it, why not something like .1 or .5 increments up to ~30W, then go to 1W steps? Don't some mods do that kind of thing when they stop displaying the decimal?

I also own a DNA device. However, without that objective data how do we know how accurate it is. Can it output in .1 watt increments across its entire power band and resistive range? No discredit to DNA devices or any other mod for that matter, but that is a difficult feat to accomplish even with the most sophisticated and cost no object power amplifiers. Now for the purpose of vaping do we need such accuracy? Personally I don’t think so but I am just one user out of many. If these devices are accurate to within a certain limit, and users can detect changes that small, then there is a valid reason to having that level of adjustability. However, without that objective data, and unsighted user testing, how can we say for sure.

Sounds like a good change :)

Otherwise, 0.5 steps works for me.

I found a juice yesterday, in the juice cellar of course, that needed low...about 8.5. I dropped down about every .2-.3 watts to test. That worked for me. I am a flavor chaser with my DIY.

Keep it at .1 or .2, but increase the speed after 2 watts of continuous pressing.

Yes, I can taste the difference when power is about .2 apart, but I do focus.

I don't see a reason that a 200 watt does that. My friend's is used in the 60-80 watt area. He says mine takes to long and I just taste the heat in his.

Depends on the vaper.

I like the idea of a slow count of .1 change with repeated presses. If I hold it down, switch to .5. If I overrun I can tick it back at .1 per click speed or hold it down to move faster.
