The chip in the sigelei 30w cannot give out lower than the battery voltage so it needs to pulse the voltage to give an effectively average lower output to match the selected wattage and coil resistance, this is known as PWM (pulse width modulation). This can result in a rattlesnake/rasping effect.
In DC-DC mode, it is a flat signal (no pulsing and no rattlesnaking) but can only be output at or higher than the battery voltage.
However, if you have PWM mode selected, as soon as the required voltage is above the battery voltage, it will automatically become a boosted DC output. So you only get PWM when required voltage is below battery voltage.
If you have DC-DC mode you will not be able to get a voltage below the battery voltage, no matter what the display says.
Described well below. It's a different device but the same chip. Watch from 23:46 for the relevant part. |
