Query @ anyone else who uses one of these.
Is it my imagination or is this device a battery killer? I'm using a VTC5A firing a Cleito 0.2 Ohm at 55W and it lasts about twenty five hits before I need to recharge. I've tried several batteries of the same type and all perform the same in this mod, but they last much longer in other mods. Also, the battery gets far hotter than I think it ought to. Should be pulling about 16Amps at that wattage/resistance, which is well within the battery's CDR but it seems way too hot. Seems to me there must be a massive discrepancy between what it's pulling from the battery and what it's putting out of the board. Have I got a random bad 'un or is this an inherently inefficient piece of kit?
