Joker Question

[thisbetterwork]

How do you tell what voltage it's set on? What's the position of the screw for each?

Thanks.

You mean you don't have a multimeter? That would definately be one way to find out...

[thisbetterwork]

WTF is a multimeter?

[DAYVAPE]

This isn't looking good... LOL. A multi-meter: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Equus-3300-Hands-free-Digital-Multimeter/14644665

There are alot of them to choose from... but a cheapo will do just fine. Then you can test the voltage of your device... and the resistance of your attys too! I highly recommend you get one... especially if you have the AV Joker.

oh great, more szhit to go buy. thanks for the heads up. is there a rule of thumb for the screw position though?

IF you dont have a multimeter, you can buy a DVM from VaprLife. I have both and the DVM is just as accurate as the multimeter and is more convenient.

a full turn (360 degrees) = roughly .2 V, although this does change slightly depending on where the voltage is currently at.

That's the kicker... knowing what it's set at right now. Do they pre-set them to 5 volts Burn? I know the Buzz was/is 4.5...

[thisbetterwork]

thanks. sooo, does anybody know what the dam joker comes preset at?

Mine came preset at 5v, checked it with the DVM.

[DAYVAPE]

Yeah, I'm just sure it's set at 5 volts. What are you wanting to set it at? What are you planning on using... atty or carto?

5v confirmed

Thanks for the info gang. the joker actually isn't mine. i oredered it for a friend who's new to vaping, and he decided to go with the joker. I'm jealous! i wish i had an experienced friend as i would've ordered the joker off the bat instead of the ego. The joker is next on my list. It's awesome.

He's using cartos. He started at the preset 5v but dialed it down slightly. Does it really matter if you "know" what voltage it's at? I mean, as long as he doesn't use LR atty/cartos it's all good at any voltage it'll provide correct?

I'm thinking of trial and error for him as he's strapped for cash right now.

[DAYVAPE]

Oh that's totally fine to do it that way. We know what they are from the supplier... then just give it a couple turns left and be good to go. At least that's how I prefer my cartos... 4.6 - 4.8 is great!

[thisbetterwork]

this bastage is rubbing the awesomeness of his joker all in my face. bahahaha. i gotta get one pronto.

[Burn]

LOL

If your not the type of control freak that HAS TO KNOW, as I am, simply turning it to get to where you like it works very well.

[DAYVAPE]

Oh I hear that.... I have to know too! If I'm adjusting it, to say, 4.5 volts and I turn the screw some and it reads 4.596 I will make certain to tweak it till t's 4.5 even! Madness I tell ya!

[thisbetterwork]

ya'll are a trip
