Howdy!
Just subbed up to ask this, but long time lurker.
So, my deal is I currently have a Sigelei 50w(v2) using a subtank mini @ .5 on the RBA @ 15w (not that it matters, as talked about below) and the Subox mini kit, using the RBA for @ .5 ohms as well. I have been literally going crazy for the last few months trying to figure out what was wrong with my builds or whatever, as no matter how I built them, I was still getting very hot vape @ very low wattages on the Sigelei.
Turns out, each of my mods has differing issues. For those that don't know, the Sigelei 50w uses the YiHi SX330 board, which does NOT have stepdown voltage capability. So the lowest voltage output you're going to get is 3.6-3.7 volts, regardless of what it tells you on the screen. I literally was pulling my hair out due to this, as I KNEW it wasn't decreasing voltage....I just had to search forever on the webs to get it confirmed. Anyway, now I know...and this just is too hot for me, and there isn't way around it, other than increasing resistance and voltage to get into the green of 3.7v or more.
The Subox (or KBOX mini) has a similar issue, in that it is using what's referred to as MEAN voltage regulation, instead of RMS. MEAN gives you the average voltage between peaks in a Pulse Width Modulation setup (PWM - is used to to control the output voltage, which is allows you to have use more or less power as desired.) This will result in actually producing a much hotter vape than expected at the desired setting due to the spiking, I believe. RMS will give you a much more accurate feel of vaping at your desired voltage. This is somewhat more manageable, as you can get it right, but you just have to go by feel instead of what the display tells you. 10w @ .5 ohm works for me here.
So, long story short...both of mods have issues, and I would love to get a recommendation for a box mod that can take a .5 build able to handle output 50w (25w may even work), that does stepdown capability and utilizes RMS.
(Also, if I've spoken incorrectly, please educate me (politely, preferably))
Thanks in advance for your help!

The VTC is actually smaller than the Subox and the Sig 50 even though it's more powerful. You're going to die when you see the screen. Best screen on any mod hands down.
