Am I not understanding this correctly !

Someone posted something a while back about working out amp draw on a regulated device. I want to say @eightbitraptor maybe

I’ve posted about it a bunch of times but @conanthewarrior has a pinned thread in the general section about it.

I should of also said that it is a regulated device as its being limited to 80W which is reducing the applied voltage.

Thanks thought it was you that I remembered chatting about it.

Thats not right. The device is being limited to 80Watts, so with a 0.1 ohm coil, you will be drawing 28Amps as it is reducing the voltage. Hope this helps

Isn't that for a regulated device though ?

It's not strictly regulated though. That's why it's confusing

That's true mate. Even when I put 80 watts in the ohms calculator it still came out at 42 amp.

\When you use an ohms law calculator, put in o.1 ohm and 80W, it will show approx 28W and 2.something volts. The regulation is reducing the applied voltage

Yes, i dont know that particular device but it must be regulated as its limited to 80W

I think this MAY be the answer, I had to change the coil resistance .... but even so 80w, 4.2v = 19a ... so if it's limiting it to 80w that would still hold true whatever the resistance? maybe?

Must be regulated of a sort otherwise why is it limited to 80W. I will have a peep at that particular device

Are all the reviewers just confusing people by calling it unregulated then ? I knew there was a reason I've stuck to regulated /variable mods
