What is stepdown? I've a D2 and not got any issues with it... I'd like to know what functionality I'm missing out on In wattage mode it will only fire as low as the battery voltage output. E.G if you put a 0.5ohm coil on it with a freshly charged battery it will fire at 30w even if you have it set lower. A 0.3ohm would fire at 54-55w regardless of the screen setting being lower. That was the deal breaker for me and why I cancelled my order with KOV ... got an instant refund as would be expected from such a great vendor.

Cancelled mine too, but exchanged for the Sigelei 150w TC which just arrived 20 minutes ago.

the mod is not defective at all, it just dusnt do step down like a dna 20 or 30, that didnt stop anyone purchasing a mod with a 20 or 30 chip set in it

Thank you for the clarification. .... I still reckon that anyone not aware of the lack of step down would wonder what was going on when they get 35 watts through a 0.5 ohm coil on a fresh battery when they had set the mod to 20 watts.

I wouldn't go as far as to call it a feature because that implies design intent, i imagine it's more of an oversight. Not so much of an issue when the DNA20 and 30 came out as when they first came out most manufacturers were making heads in the 1.2ohm and above range. On a 1.2ohm coil it's only going to deliver 12-13w on a fresh battery, 1.5ohm - 10w, 1.8ohms - 9w.

Neither a defect or a feature. Why would anyone want to sub ohm and then use 20 watts of power? What's the point? Just to claim "I'm in to sub ohming"? This is the danger of so many advance regulated mods. People have no idea what they are playing with. The paint peeling off is a bigger detraction.

This is the danger of so many advance regulated mods. People have no idea what they are playing with. The paint peeling off is a bigger detraction. I was looking at this mod for work, form factor looks class. My only concern is the sub ohm tank I want to run on it comes with 0.25 coils, which I have many of... This is where step-down becomes an issue for me at least. I don't always want 70watts when 50 watts does just fine. I'm well aware of ohms law, I've vape mechs most of the time. For me, with the tank I had in mind for it, it's not going to work, and I'm sad about that

I dunno maybe because common 0.5ohm stock heads like say the Kanger OCC is rated for 15w-30w or the Aspire 0.5ohm Atlantis coils are rated at 20w-30w by the manufacturers and without stepdown you can't fire them under 30w on this device?
