I Motion2 V+ First Impressions, Daily Updates

[Lord Grim]

Guess who just got his Imotion through the post?!?! First impressions are generally good, nice sturdy weight (definitely an at home vape, you'd know if you had this in your jacket pocket all day), checked out a couple of atties with this and my multimeter and they seem to agree....my only inital gripe is that it doesn't like the 3ml ViViNova tank, if you screw it right on tight there is no airflow at all. Not an issue if you are going to use it as a desk vape but if you do decide to leave it in your pocket, you really want it screwed right up tight. I'm going to fiddle about with a 510-510 coupler and see if that helps, cos I don't want to be modding my brand new mod just yet. That being said, if you dont use a Vivi, it seems pretty good, I chucked a boge LR on there just to see and it worked very nicely, bearing in mind I didn't play with the voltage.

Yeah grim, I had the same issue with my siam tanks... Remember, you never want to screw the atties in too tight as well!

I have no problem with the Vivi Nova tank in terms of airflow, but real problems getting it to screw in. In contrast, the Vivi minis attach with no problems. Just read elsewhere that Smok are giving a 1 year warranty with the Zmax. Wrote to Cig Star via their web site asking what the warranty is on the Imotion and they didn't reply, which is not encouraging.

My head IS heading towards the zmax and its variable wattage I have to say ... didnt look so big either

I still dont understand the whole wattage thing, I am in fact really afraid of electricity in general so the idea of being able to ramp something up to 10 amps or whatever, when most of our every day use appliances use 13amp fuses... I dont know if I want something like that near my face. I honestly think that would be the ONLY thing putting me off though.

The new phone STILL HASNT got here (christ manchester is NOT that far away) video will be posted later tonight once the little has gone to sleep. On the functions.

I also discovered today, I dont blow plumes of vape cause I dont direct inhale LOL

 

[Lord Grim]

Just tried direct inhaling....and damn you're right!

Variable wattage isn't about ramping anything up Meg. Any more than your VV device. It's just another way of varying your voltage to suit the atomiser. Only it does it automatically. Can be set as low as you like and what ever resistance attie you use it will set the voltage accordingly.

The watts are the end result..the amount of heat produced ultimately. VW is no more dangerous than VV. The amp limit on most mods is there to prevent the overall current flow from getting too high. Your papa is probably set higher than your new mod!

From the web:


One commonly used analogy is that of the garden hose. The water pressure in the hose is like the voltage, and the amp value is like the volume of water flowing through the hose. The wattage, then, is the total amount of water that comes out of the hose, per unit of time.
Going back to the garden hose analogy, if the hose has a larger diameter, more water will be able to flow through. A circuit with a high resistance value, expressed in ohms, is able to carry fewer amps than one with lower resistance, regardless of the voltage. If a high voltage encounters high resistance, the amount of possible amps in the circuit will be very low -- not much water will get through a narrow hose, no matter how high the pressure is.


That helped me to understand anyway

 

[Lord Grim]

That is correct...basically all it does is makes it easier to do what you are already doing. You select a wattage normally by picking the resistance of your atty and finding the ideal voltage for it. This just does it automatically.

 

[KulrMeStoopid]

Ok cool didn't totally understand that. Just to get back on topic the imotion is not variable wattage but variable voltage.

Ok heres my video, its 12 mins long, I didnt add any special shit to it and I talked far too much for my own good.

Please go easy on me, I don't normally do videos!


PS I have man hands
