Eleaf iStick 20w vs 30w

[nvadasz]

Being fairly new to vaping, some things just confuse me and this is one of them...Yesterday I went to my B&M store and tried the new leaf istick 30 watt battery and found that the vape at 6.8 watts was airy and lack luster. Now I used those numbers because that's where I vape on my eleaf iStick 20 watt. The 30 watt read my atty correctly (1.9 ohms), volts, registered the same (3.5 volts) but I had to jack the thing up to 10 watts to get the same vape as my 20. Any idea what may have been going on? Also, I guess I'm not new anymore, I hope this is the right place to post my questions with 70+ postings I need to add that with the additional wattage, came additional heat from my vape. I changed my post because from 17 views, no ideas/replies

Depends on your question

I threw a question out there this a.m. regarding Eleaf iStick 20 vs 30 with no replies...just wondering after 22+ views and no replies...just wondering that's all. Guess I'll check back tomorrow

Right place, wrong time.

This would be a good place to start. Ask away.

I've heard similar things about that, the 20's ran hot and they fixed some issues ... just adjust to your new wattage

I have no experience with either device, so no technical info here. Although I believe the circuitry was changed with the new model if memory serves.
If it works for you at 10 watts then that's where it works. Best of luck.

Sounds simple enough, but as a additional note, I noticed additional heat from the vape as well. I know, I know, more power, more heat, but I didn't experience this with the 20 watter. Oh big red line under "watter" Thanks for the reply anyway...guess some things just can't be answered.

You could try a higher ohm head

Could've been a low battery in the 30, or it could've been something to do with the innards, like philoshop said. Who knows? Maybe someone has both and can comment..
One thing I know fo sho is that I'm ordering the 50w on Tuesday. B)

The 20's fired hotter than the display showed. Fixed with the 30's and 50's. More accurate now.

Basically, the 20W was set to MEAN instead of the standard RMS, so it was about 1 volt hotter than the displayed setting. So if you ran it @ 3.5 volts on your 20W, that's closer to 4.5 volts on the 30 (give or take).

General advice with regulated mods is to dial low to start and adjust to taste, depending on your build and liquid of choice.
