Dunno if it's just me but my battery life just drops hardcore when using an RDA..Am I hallucinating?
Or the wattage depending on the efficiency of the chipset at various wattages/voltages.Yep, it's all in the resistance of the coil
all I know is with my TFV4 micro tank I can get a solid 10-12 hrs out of 'er..RDA more like 5..6 maybe 8 hrs. That's quite the drop
Definitely could be a factor.I did get a suspicious stomach ache today lol I always over vape not with just new gear but new juice as well..Today was the Icon RDA with a dual build for the first time AND new juice. Might've vaped myself silly without even realizing it lolIts also a new piece of hardware for you. You may be vaping more frequent than you were with the tfv4 also. I new when I get new things I tend to vape a little harder for a while.
Determining amps being pulled @Synphul basically gave you the formula, yet with the Alien 220W, that battery lowest voltage is 2.8v per battery or 5.6v lowest, don't need the voltage X 2 in formula posted above, just watts set/5.6v/90%=maximum amps.
You can't go by the numbers displayed on the alien, it's a bit goofy. As I recall the formula for regulated mods is watts divided by min volts multiplied by the number of batteries, divided by estimated mod efficiency. At 50w that would be 50/(3.2v)x2 (2 batteries)/0.9 (90% efficiency) = 8.6-9a. Using straight ohm's law doesn't work with regulated mods since it doesn't account for the regulation of the chip.
Yes, the Alien 220W if you take it to lowest charge level it is about 100 to 105watts max safely with 20amp CDR batteries, and is still mislabled even if you use 30amp CDR batteries, you cap out at about 160 to 170watts max. Its all in that 2.8v lowest per battery, where other dual battery mods the cutoff voltage is 3.0 to 3.2v per battery and can reach about 180watts max safely (90watts per battery), the Alien with 20amp batteries it is roughly about 50 to 52.5watts per battery.
