I just want to add for edumacational purposes, youh understand... Volts vs Watts you're looking at two sides of the same equation. Watts = Amps x Volts So when you change "watts" on your device, you are really adjusting the voltage. As your "watts" reduce your voltage drops with it. If I were to draw a piss poor analogy, think of it like the equation 2 + 2 = 4. If I change the 4 to 3, I automatically have to reduce the 2 to 1. (1 + 2 = 3) the 2 sides of the equation are "tied" together. so when you change your wattage and see your voltage changing that is what you are seeing; the two sides of the equation "balancing". What we are concerned with is exceeding the amp rating of our battery. Amps are calculated by watts ÷ volts. ex: 60watts ÷ 3.7 volts = 16.2 amps. Your battery has to be rated for more than that amount or it goes *boom* This is why your battery "shuts down" at 3.2 volts minimum because you can see that if your volts dropped to 2 volts, at 60 watts you would be drawing 30 amps! yeah, *boom* A regulated mod is designed to keep the voltage constant as the battery discharges. That keeps you safe and happy. This is just a simple, practical explanation and is in no way intended to inform, insult, offend, challenge or disrespect any real electrical engineer. No real engineers were harmed in this explanation.

love the deck by the way. Nice design. one of the better designs I've seen. I would clip those leads too, if I were you. the ones going down to the deck.

lol. noob! just ribbing ya. It wouldn't be funny unless I'd done the same or similar things myself. Are you planning on running it single coil mode? do you have a plan to block off airflow if you are?

Not sure. But I found him. He has a wealth of info. Thanks you guys. I’m waiting on my RDA to show up. I think I should have started with something more basic. I’ve got a Cartel coming that is apparently very similar to the Drop. Hope I’ll get the hang of it.
