    a fresh off charge battery produces better results than a half flat one..

    they leave the charger at 4.2 volts.. during use they lose voltage.. when they hit around 2.7 volts the protection circuits blinks and switches them off..

    its obvious a 4.2 volt battery works better than a 3 volt one.. so keep them in the upper voltage range whenever possible.. like when you are sat next to the charger..

    ps... for those that like exact figures.. 4.2 volts is the high cut off point... 2.7 is the low one..
    Wow Trog, that makes sense. I've noticed I've gotten more vapor from a batt fresh off the charger than one I had sitting for hours. I'll try that. Thankyou so much. You are all so helpful!

    It's nice to have some place to ask such intelligent ppl who understand and know about these things.

    Micki0 - there sure is some good advice out there, but I'm sure that you will find out through trial and error what is best for you - e-cigs are like that One person's favourite e-cig is another's idea of hell, just the way it is.

    Sorry to hear about your MS - enjoy your vaping

    Late here at the moment, and no one likes my home anymore, so going to sign of

    Another great tip. Thanks! Will incorporate that into my routine when I'm near a charger.... Just switched now and you're right.
