iTaste MVP 3.0 Pro (60W) -- capable of much higher power in VV mode?

[jersey_emt]

I just ordered an iTaste MVP 3.0 Pro (the new 60W version) -- I've had an MVP 2.0 for quite some time and have been very happy with it. The MVP 3.0 caught my eye, but the 30W limit was a big turn-off, so I was very excited when the new 60W MVP 3.0 Pro was announced.

Looking through the specs, I see that in VV mode, it goes up to 9 volts, and the maximum output current is 17.5 amps. Doing a little bit of math, this would seem to indicate that it is capable of firing a 0.51 ohm coil at 9.0 volts:

9.0 volts / 0.5143 ohms = 17.4995 A

But this also works out to almost 160 watts:

(9.0^2) / 0.5143 = 81 / 0.5143 = 157.4956 watts

So what's the deal here? Obviously in VW mode, it can be set to a maximum of 60 watts. But is it really capable of so much more power in VV mode?

Either way, it doesn't make much difference to me -- on my mechanical mods I rarely go over 35 watts (0.5 ohm coil @ 4.2 volts). This is my first high-power regulated mod, so I'm just curious.

Nope, out of those 3 numbers whichever limit it hits first is where it will stop. Can't trick the mod into going past them

The Pro seems like a decent upgrade, if not just for the battery life. But the device you use will ultimately determine if it's "worth it." I maybe go to 35w on my 0.5ohm coils but usually 25-28w- so paying $30 more for the Pro doen't seem very frugal.

No doubt you will feel sad when you see your mvp2 fall out the window one day
