Why though?!

[Simmonsd515]

Why do some mods hit harder than others? I put a 0.53 ohm build in my rda. Placed in on one of my mods (segelei Kaos) at 50 watts and then placed it on my Tesla Wye at the same wattage and it hits way harder on my Wye. Is it the chip set? It’s frustrating, I have different mods but why do some perform better than others?

Measure voltage across the coil with it on each mod. If they're both set to the same wattage, they should put the same voltage across the coil, but I betcha they don't.

If I made Mods, I would Calibrate the board so it outputted 5 ~ 10% more wattage than it should.

That way people would say that My Mods were "Hard Hitting".

Sounds like the sleaziness that iJoy practices, but I think VooPoo actually did that with the Drag.

I see many possibilities,one pointed out by zman.another one is it reads the coil differently,another as ross pointed to is a voltage loss.
Good thing it can be adjuster to fit preference.

Wow... I they don’t...

Measures the same across all my other mods. Not that one.

I think it best to let the following put you on the right track in answering your question. I too have found this varies between different mods in the way they are actually built. The ones that lack the 'hit' you desire I would just up the watts or voltage to compensate. And then again, maybe you would like to build your own, as some have done in years past.

Good luck.

Thanks for the input. I think it was cheaply made and has a poor chip...good thing I bought it off a co worker for 20 bucks

Sigelei is another company I don't buy mods from, but you should check and see if there is a firmware update for it that might fix the problem.

If you want to build a PWM mod then I'd go with one of Big Al's inexpensive boards instead of a noisy 555 version.

His boards have 5 click on off, low battery protection, reverse polarity protection and so on. BUT you have to build for it like you would for a series mech mod, keeping battery current limits in mind.

Do software upgrades usually help with that sort of thing ?

Jeez I don’t know if I could build my own vape. That would be awesome though. Fairly easy?

Simmonsd515, software updates for updatable mods control how the mod can function. It's just firmware for the device.

 

[greasegizzard]

I think the most likely reasons have been covered. But I would add that there's no standard these companies are held to as far as the accuracy of their devices. I am glad it is that way, since we all know what regulations, guidelines, and standards can lead to. Ultimately, it's not a big deal if one seems to not hit as hard, just up the watts to your taste.

 

[Mordacai]

greasegizzard, they all have their own tolerances and idiosyncracies. As long as they work and serve us well, that's all that matters.

Fire button response is part of firmware

I agree. Like I said, I'm glad they're not held to some arbitrary government mandated standard. I very much prefer companies being able to design products as they see fit. And consumers using so many choices and being able to find what they like and not some junk that everyone else is forced to use, too.

greek mule, if you mean can it affect fire button delay? Yes it could to some extent, as the hardware would be the limiting factor.

But device firmware and PC BIOS share one thing in common. You'll get an update, but they don't tell you exactly what they do.

Correct.Update in case fire button delay has improved.

 

[Punk In Drublic]

If you look at some of the more objective reviews, such as the measurements performed by DJLsb Vapes, you can see that devices not outputting the correct wattage (or voltage) is actually quite common. It is possible a Firmware update can correct any deficiencies, assuming the developer is aware of the issue and is willing to correct. But there could be cases where this is a hardware deficiency in which case a FW update may not correct.
