Is my xcube 2 broken?

[TogaJon]

The specs for the xcube 2 state that it can push up to 8V but when I push up the watts to where I should see the voltage get that high, the reading stays 6V.
Anyone else have this problem or can advise on why it might be happening.
I'm using 2 x samsung 25r batteries if that helps.

Depends on the resistance of your coils. Lower resistance coils will have higher current and lower voltage. Higher resistance coils will have higher voltage and lower current.
Volts = the square root of (wattage x resistance)

PS I'm assuming the voltage display is what's being output to the coil. I don't have that mod.

Cheers,
Steve

First, a little Ohms law:

V=IR or V=IxR
Volts = current X resistance.


So,

8volts=16aX.5ohm
If you want to see 8 volts, your watts would be around 128w.

8 Volts
16 Amps
.5 Ohm (guessing here)
128w

What batteries are you using?

Try plugging in what you see on screen into the calc. My x cube is quite accurate against my HP bench meter.
What's your resistance of the tank/rda?
What firmware version are you on? It's displayed when you power it up. Make sure it's the latest. Try using the app to get more real-time information of what the mod is actually doing.

I'm using Samsung 25r batteries x 2

Tank resistance for today is 0.48

Will run it through the bluetooth app and see if this shows a difference to the value the mod is showing. Nice idea that I hadnt considered.

Thanks

Depending on what version of FW and app you have it may be, don't be alarmed immidiately. Also try the graph. Click the white circle and it will show you a graph in real time.

Cheers everyone. Will be able to test the app readings at 4pm today and let you know the results.

This story may or may not have anything to do with anything but...
My friend got one of these, two days later he re-screwed on the tank he was using with it after a refill. Smok prompted "New coil?" and he selected "yes" without thinking, even though it was the same coil and tank.

Smoke came out of the fire handle.

RIP Smok

Your post does not contain what Ohm you are running at which dictates how high your voltage will go.
Ar through understand of Ohm's law is essential or you will remain confused..

What?

Its just a random Smok anecdote from my friend.
Somehow he frazzled it. I scratched my head trying to work out what happened.
He said it got really hot to hold and smoke came out of the handle area, then the mod just died.

He was using a .2 coil with a pair of 2 day old, fully charged Samsung 25R batteries.

I just figured id tell the story because its Smok Xcube II related

Its a odd mod.. Mine has acted up since the day I got it.. I took all the screws out suddenly now it works .. If I put all the screws in if stops working I gave up I use it just as a wattage device i

Maxed out at 6.6V when set to 133w on a 0.48 coil. According to my calculations this means I was only achieving 90.75w.

Guess it's either a battery issue or Smok is talking crap when they say it can push 8V.

You really are struggling with Ohms law I suggest you go to http://www.steam-engine.org/ohm.asp
and also study a bit so you can understand what you are seeing.. Your numbers are off as well
I can tell you there is nothing wrong with the device by a simple basic calculation

I have been using an Android App called Vaper's toolbox for my Power calculations.

Using Steam-Engine.org gives me the exact same figures I gave you. can you please explain where I am going wrong and what "simple" calculations you are using as I am either using the tools incorrectly or have explained my findings incorrectly.

Ok i will try to haha tell you how to put in numbers in the field .. See the voltage put 8V
see the ohms put in .48 and what wattage do you get? Do this in Steam-engine and tell me what you get in wattage it cannot be any simpler Ohms law does not change

 

[TogaJon]

I get 133.33watts by following your instructions. This is the figure i mentioned earlier.
Obviously wasting my time reading your posts as you seemingly dont understand mine and have the audacity to sound like a pompus prick.

Are u using the latest firmware?
