    Default is the lavatube mini a good choice for a heavy vaper?

    Hi people, just wondering if the lavatube mini is a good choice for a chain vaper? Is it normal for the battery to only last like 2 hours(the battery that comes with it). I'm going to order new batteries if they'll last longer but going to put it on classifieds if the batteries do not for a vaper who vapes lighter than I.

    Yes, it is a nice size, 3-4 hours isn't too bad i guess....although im a chain vaper so i may need more than one extra.

    What volts are you vapeing on?

    I ask because I chain vapes as well and when useing my LT I normaly get around 6 hours out of it. Of course I am not a "High Voltage" vaper...I use mine between 3.4 and and 4.2. Usually only use the higher volts when I want a little extra TH

    depending on the juice, sometimes 3.9, and sometimes 4.2 or 4.8, i'll have the battery that came with it and i just ordered 2 more 700mah ones so that should do me a 12hr shift you'd think

    What resistance carto are you using? The LR carto's tend to deplete the battery faster than SR carto's.

    Heavy chain vapor using 700 mah batteries? Time to up grade your rig to something with a 18650 2000 mah IMR... My Provari last all day with the big battery....

    Dan , I would suggest using the 3 ohm single coil cartos . I think its a safe bet that you have a version 1 LT since you have a mini and I havent seen a mini in the newer versions that offer a 4.0 amp limit

    Anyhoo... I have a version 1 LT and a version 1.5. The version 1 doesnt handle the LR dual coils very well. I was using them too on my version 1 when I first got it and found that battery didnt last very long compared to using single coils. Using the single coil 3 ohm cartos increased the length of a charge and I was getting a better vape.

    I'm not an " ohms law" pro but I'm fairly certain that you're asking the mini LT to do something it cant properly handle by using LR dual coils on it... I read somewhere on here that you need more then the 2.5 amps that the version 1's can deliver when using LR dual coils.. Which is why I grabbed a newer version that has a 4.0 amp limit.
