One thing about these regulated mods, especially for the multi-battery ones where you do have more power in the box, is they do sorta protect you from doing stupid stuff. With a mech, it's you, your calculator, and your ohm meter to assure you're not only getting the vape temp you want but also do so safely. With a regulated mod resistance isn't nearly as important (as long as you're in the range of the board) and you just dial your power/temperature to whatever you want and you're done.

But wait. If you never set your batteries using escribe and then vape at 166 with the dual battery setup and don't know your stuff like me. Your pulling 22 Amps from each 20 amp battery (25rs in this case) right?

I don't know. Kinda just feels a little safer to know what your doing and rely on yourself.
I take more care with more batteries whether the mod is regulated or unregulated.

If the chipset fails I wouldn't blame the mod. I'd blame myself for being foolish enough to put 100% trust in a vape device.
But that's just me (Mr. Paranoia)

Thanks for the help though. If I can afford one I might get one.
More for the looks though and possible use of tc.

If you try to exceed the output voltage available, the board will cap and limit what the coil will "fire" at. However, despite all those protections, yes, a quick calculation yourself to be sure your use is appropriate and within the capability of the setup. As mentioned, a quick and dirty estimate of 60W per battery would place you in a safe place. So if you want >120-140W, get the DNA 200/250 with 3 batteries instead. Personally it's hard to see vaping at that power, but some folks do it.

Right. Got it.
Just all new territories for me.
I still don't think I'll need it though. I just took the atty off the paps and put it on my rdna 40 which I've got set to 12 watts :lol:
That's all I need for the moment so perhaps I'll just save the £140 and get an atty or two instead.
Gotta keep learning though. This art is far from stagnant and I gotta keep up with you cloud chasing kids :)

Edit: by 'kids' i mean 18+ or 21 in some states.
Just an endearing term used used frivolously.

Tanks IMO are where 90% of the experience comes from as long as you have a half way decent mod. I've got quite a few Taifun GT-T V2's and just ordered a Griffin 25 tank after reading so many good things on it. A TFV8 is another that I've heard good things on

Indeed. My box is full of attys but I only use kfun lites and a phenomenon myself, get some more quality attys and stop chasing this alluring power that I don't need.
I've got my eyes on
A calix,
A new heron,
A momentous,
The gem and
Possibly a squape with an mtl kit.

This^. Especially in power mode. Back in the day when most of the devices used PWM to control the power DNA 40 was worth it since it provided a nice smooth DC signal. Now every mod outputs a flat signal so it's not worth the money for a high end device these days. Temp control is where Yihi and Evolv shine, especially Evolv. I didn't buy my DNA 200 until I really got into TC.

Yeah I do plan to get a DNA device but not until I'm 100% satisfied with my tank. I've got some okay ones but I want to find one where I wonder how I used all the others. That Griffin 25 is supposedly great from a taste perspective which is where I am slowly moving to

I agree 100% , i use the same old mods i always have and they work perfectly and haven't missed a beat . All have YiHi or DNA chipsets and some have upgradeable firmware but i never bought them for that feature or needed to upgrade any of them.

I don't use temp control either . Like you i believe different tanks make the biggest differences in vape quality.

Zut,, take a look or better yet a vape. Eden Rose V3.

Once you have some H-Q mods , yes, invest in top drawer attys..

Thanks.
I've searched around and imo the paps v4 is the best device. pair it with a kfun lite and 'perfecto'
That's all I need in my top drawer. I mtl vape and I think the new Rose is more dl. It's from my neck of the woods and I'd like to support them but I don't vape like that.

Yep, it took the Mother Country to build this incomparable RTA.

From a TC perspective what are your thoughts on a normal chip versus a DNA chip?
Just for kicks and giggles, you should try TC on a G2 or Slice. They both use FSK chips and personally I think them better than any other TC chip on the market today. The ugly as sin, brick looking G2 can be had under $75, goes to 171 W and can do TC on any coil you'll throw at it, including Kanthal.

Lol. Glad you edited. I was thinking 'do they mean - incomparable or incompatible???

This does feels familiar. Like we've been here before.
A griffin, a kayfun...
It may not have been you.

No matter. I agree too.

I love my rose 3 but it's a pita. The whole deck inside a shell thing, stupid. Vapes great though
Ordered last fall, took 6 weeks, lost wire pin, had to aquire another, Coval Vape was fast on the pin.
VERY complicated, un- intuitive, expensive,,
You only live once..

27 amps per battery (assuming a 95% chip efficiency).

The 250 can pull 28 amps according to their data sheet. IMO that's too much current for 18650 batteries, my LG HG2 start to heat up past 25 amps. When I pushed the HG2 to 30 amps they got way too hot for me to consider safe.

The cdr of those batteries is 20 amps so no wonder they heat up. Use 30 amp cells, three LG hb2/4/6, if you're gonna push the batteries that hard.
