What do cell ratings actually tell us? Part 3: Watt-hour (Wh)

In the previous post for this series I discussed the Capacity rating and how it can’t be used to judge the running time of a cell if it’s being discharged at above 1A or so. This is due to the voltage sag in the cell caused by its internal resistance. It forces the voltage lower during the discharge so you hit your low voltage cutoff point sooner.

Capacity doesn’t take the voltage of the cell into account. It doesn’t tell us how efficiently the cell runs or how well it performs when run at above 1A or so.

The Watt-hour (Wh) spec tells us more. It not only says how long the cell can run (hours) at a certain discharge rate (milliamperes), like capacity, but includes the voltage of the cell too. It’s a measure of how much energy is in the cell, not just how much “gas” is in the “gas tank” like what the capacity rating does. The Wh rating tells us how much gas the cell has and how efficiently the cell uses that “gas”

So what is a Wh?

A watt is (voltage * current).
A watt-hour (Wh) is then (voltage * current)-hours, or volt-milliampere-hours.

See something familiar? The Wh spec has the capacity of the cell, the milliampere-hour, spec as part of it. We can say Wh = volt * capacity and this is why the Wh the cell can deliver is so important. It includes how well the cell performs, i.e., how well it can hold up its voltage, for the amount of current and time that the rating indicates.

The Wh rating given to us by the manufacturer or pack assembler is as useless as the Capacity rating though. This is because it’s the “nominal” Wh rating. It doesn’t use the actual voltage of the cell when being discharged. It uses the “nominal voltage” spec of the cell, typically 3.6V or 3.7V for a standard Li-Ion cell.

Like the Capacity spec this is okay if we are discharging the cell at 1A or less. The “nominal voltage” is approximately the average voltage for a cell running at that low a power level. But a cell being run harder than that will not have an average voltage of 3.6V/3.7V, it will be lower due to the voltage sag.

For example…
A Molicel P42A has a nominal voltage rating of 3.6V and a capacity rating of 4000mAh. Its nominal Wh rating is then nominal voltage * capacity = 3.6V * 4000mAh = 14,400 milliwatt-hours, or 14.4Wh.

But when discharged at 20A the cell only delivers about 10.7Wh and at 30A it delivers only about 8.7Wh. This is because of the voltage sag. The average voltage is lower and that lowers the Wh number.

The capacity a cell delivers at current levels higher than about 1A is also lower due to the voltage sag. This also lowers the Wh rating since both the average voltage and actual delivered capacity are part of it.

The Wh rating that can be so useful for us is the one that is measured at the power level we will run our cells at. If we run our cells at, lets say, 10A then we need to measure the average voltage and actual delivered capacity of the cell when being discharged at 10A.

Unfortunately this is very difficult to do unless you have certain test equipment. I’ve measured the delivered Wh for many of the cells we use though and these numbers are what I use for my Energy Scores (E-Scores). Check these tables for the E-Scores of some cells I have tested:

18650: 18650 Battery Ratings Table | E-Cigarette Forum

20700/21700: 20700/21700 Battery Ratings | E-Cigarette Forum

This delivered Wh rating allows us to directly compare any number of cells without any concern for capacity, size, voltage, chemistry. None of those numbers matter because this Wh rating basically already takes all that into account.

A cell that delivers 10Wh at 10A will outperform any other size or chemistry cell that delivers less than 10Wh at 10A…when run at 10A.

We still want to stay under the cell’s continuous current rating though, and we still need to consider the charging voltage and how well the cell(s) fit, but how well each performs can be determined by just comparing the Wh of energy the cell delivered at the current/power level we’re interested in.

Not all cells that are best at one power level will be best at all power levels! An ultra-high capacity “energy” cell will be easily outperformed by a high-performance “power” cell at high power levels. But at low power levels the higher capacity of the “energy” cell means it will run for longer.

You would see this in the Wh numbers for the different power levels. The energy cell would have a higher Wh rating at low power levels and the power cell would have a higher Wh rating at high power levels.

Many battery packs have a Wh rating but that is the “nominal” rating. It is almost useless to determine how long the pack will run or how well it will perform if you are running at moderate to higher power levels. You can certainly use it to compare pack size though and, very roughly, how well it might perform if not being run hard.

So while the Wh spec given by the manufacturer and pack assemblers can be used to size a pack, or work out what cells might be in the pack, the Wh rating shouldn’t be used to determine performance unless it’s measured at the power level you will run at.

Then you can directly compare those cells and along with weight, size, and cost, determine which cells best fit your application. Use the tables I link to above to compare some of the cells I have tested.

UNWRAPPING AND FIRST IMPRESSIONS


The devices are housed in a sealed plastic tube with a rubber end cap top & bottom, ingredients, specification and flavor inside the device in printed on a plastic wrap covering the tube, The plastic wrapping can be removed and the container tube that the came in can be reused for storing other vape gear such as coils or whatever fits inside. the 3 flavors I received are Apple Pie, Peach Ice and Watermelon.


20211225_082121.jpg


Empty tube in the center, use it for storage of something ( coils, cotton, etc. ) Get creative!

20211225_064939.jpg



Before using the device a small protective sicker saying PEEL covering the airflow inlet must be removed, there are no buttons as the device is auto-draw only that is a semi-loose draw, more tight than loose.


20211225_072300.jpg



The other end of the device Is the mouthpiece that has a bullet shape to it, and also has protection of accidental vape that has to be removed, a small clear rubber plug is inserted into the mouthpiece opening and needs to be removed by just pulling out.


20211225_075134.jpg



The auto-draw works very well and is a semi-loose one, The Friobar 500 fires pretty quick with no delay, flavor comes through immediately and gets better with each vape until the 3th or 4th vape as it starts to mute.

Letting the device sit idle for a minute or so after it comes right back.

I didn't think the mouthpiece would be a good performer although the bullet shape looks good, but it is comfortable with the right sized bore diameter. The bottom must be unobstructed because of the airflow inlet.

The Bottom also has a Red LED that lights up when you vape but goes out very quickly after you stop the vape, when the device is either out of juice or the battery is depleted the Red light begins to flash letting you know it's time to discard it.


20211225_082853.jpg






FLAVORS SENT TO ME


APPLE PIE

The Apple Pie flavor that comes through is of a candy apple rather than a real Apple and although not mentioned in the description or printed on the packaging this really a Apple Ice flavor.

On the first draw you get a light candied Apple and menthol taste, the 2nd quick vape some pie crust comes through and the menthol ice begins to ramp up more, on your 3rd vape it hit's the peek of flavor and flavor begins to mute. I recommend only 3 vapes then let the device sit idle for a minute or so and the flavor will rebound for another session of vapes.


PEACH ICE

The Peach Ice flavor does actually taste like a Peach with very little Ice flavor although not as sweet and powerful as I thought it would be. The light flavor of this one is actually better than the Apple Pie in my opinion.

The same intensity drop happens as it does with the Apple Pie after the 3rd vape and rebounds back with flavor after paused for 1 minute or 2.


WATERMELON

Out of the 3 flavors the Watermelon has the most flavor to it, even unwrapping the package you could smell the Watermelon coming through. This also has a Ice flavoring blended in as all 3 of these do.

Watermelon is not a flavor that I gravitate to normally but this one is the best out of the trio of flavors that I tested. The Watermelon flavor is very good and it's probably because it has smaller amounts of Ice than the others.

With the Watermelon it's threshold is 5 vapes before starting to loose flavor and just like the Apple Pie and Peach Ice after some Idle time the flavor pops right back.


FINAL THOUGHTS

I really liked the Watermelon because it had a taste of real Watermelon and not a candied one, however the Ice although being refreshing to some didn't go well for my taste buds but I don't care for a menthol or Ice vape.

All 3 have Ice included in the flavoring but only the Peach states that on it's label. Being a salt vape 3 vapes should do you for a quick Nic hit so waiting a minute or so for the flavor to return is not to bad I guess.


I would like to thank Tina and Freemax for providing the 3 Friobar 500 disposable vape devices for the purpose of this review.

THANK YOU

► Hellvape Helheim S RDTA; First impressions:
The Hellvape Helheim S RDTA tank was born with the collaboration of the "FIVE" team, a group of German enthusiasts, the system was developed to obtain excellent DL and RDL performance with a double adjustable air flow. The overall design of this atomizer is captivating with its metal grid to protect the glass.

Hellvape Helheim S RDTA 8.JPG


Helheim is probably inspired in Design by the ancient knights of northern Europe ... The maximum diameter of Hellheim S RDTA is only 25mm and can be effectively accommodated on medium / small mods but also on some SBS Mods. The very elongated shape of Helheim S RDTA (about 60mm) led me to find its natural location on one of my favorite SBS Mods, in fact even Brunhilde Mod has a Germanic influence in its design (coincidentally), I would say an excellent combination aesthetic / functional.

Hellvape Helheim S RDTA 9.jpg


► Hellvape Helheim S RDTA; How it's done:
Helheim S RDTA is made entirely of stainless steel and is immediately very robust when handled. The weight of 77g confirms this feeling.
The glass protected by the grille offers excellent visual control of the internal liquid level. From the outside through the glass you can also see the 4 intertwined metal cables for the transfer of the eliquid to the coil.
Positioned above the glass we find the RDA part of Helheim characterized by a double AFC system and a low and rather wide 810 type Drip Tip.
The upper Cap is well finished with laser engravings.

Alternative methods for consuming E Liquid? (Prepping)

Hello. Have a question I couldn't find online. Im into preparedness and Im interested in alternative ways to consume E liquid, notably without electricity. I know consuming the liquid by mouth is a death sentence so that's a no go..

I was thinking if you had a glass pipe with an oil rig set-up and a blowtorch is it possible to vaporize the liquid that way? If you measured out a small safe amount? Otherwise is there another way to heat the liquid, maybe in a freebase fashion, and consume the liquid that way?

Prefer to continue to vape using the juice I have, rather than smoke, in the hypothetical case of a long term grid-down scenario. Im aware solar power is an option to charge batteries ect. and that will be my go-to. However if all my mods break Im wondering if there's any way to use the eliquid.

Another anversary on the forum.

Yea it's been 12 years on here and 13 years of vaping. Ten of them years in my mind never would have happened if I continued with the "cowboy killers". While back then I was mixing over 36% nicotine and today I'm at 1.8% and may do 1.5 next week. I guess I'm more addicted to the additive and flavor now. I don't know why we have to battle so much for our rights, clearly this an better alternative than any nicotine product on the market. Yet we still have to fight the government and big tobacco, wanting take your tax dollars and to steal your health. I don't know if I'll still be vaping next year, I've on and off the wagon trying to kick the nicotine all this year. So if I fade away, I'll still be thinking of and supporting you in your journey. Happy Holidays, Rob

Mooch’s 21700 Cell Recommendations

Here are my recommendations based on the results of my testing:

E244306E-D336-41CB-BC1F-6C8081EF897F.jpeg

Choose the power level closest to where you will use your cells and then see which cells performed best for me. There aren’t huge differences between them all and when there are two cells for my #1, #2, or #3 choice it means they performed essentially the same as each other, choose either one.

These are merely my personal choices and there are no guarantees that these cells will perform for you the way they did for me. If you want to know about other cells I have tested check out my ratings tables:

18650: 18650 Battery Ratings Table | E-Cigarette Forum

20700/21700: 20700/21700 Battery Ratings | E-Cigarette Forum

HELLVAPE HELHEIM RDTA REVIEW by hittman

Hello and thank you for joining me for yet another review for one of the more recent companies I have started doing reviews for which is Hellvape. I have to admit that I’m a little late to the game with Hellvape. My first product from them was the Vertex MTL RTA. Very good flavor and performance from that one. However, I’m here today after being impressed time and again by the tanks from them that I have been fortunate enough to provide reviews for. Today I’ll be doing my best to give a fair and honest review on the new Hellvape Helheim RDTA. This one is not to be confused with the Helheim S which uses cables for wicking. The new Helheim I am covering has no cables but is an RDTA. I have had it for a couple weeks now and using it some every day. The Helheim is 25mm at the base so will fit comfortably on many mods and has a 4.5ml liquid capacity. Let’s take a look at some factory images and I’ll give my thoughts on it.

I had high hopes for this rdta after having good experiences with each Hellvape tank that I have reviewed. I wish I had discovered how good their tanks are sooner. Right now I will just say that I was not disappointed.

The packaging for the Helheim is what I have come to expect from Hellvape. Simple but nice and of course a red box. On the front is simply the name of the tank and on the back are features listed, a contents list, and Hellvape’s company information.

The Helheim uses an 810 drip tip and the o ring is in the top cap rather than being on the drip tip. I’ve seen reviews where people tend to prefer this setup but I honestly don’t really know why it makes a difference.

It is kind of funny now but when I received the Helheim, it hadn’t been released yet but the Helheim S had been so I was looking for the wicking cables. After taking the tank apart I discovered that there’s no way it could use cables. I guess it would have been easier to just look at the user manual. The tank can be taken completely apart for cleaning which I did when I received it. I’ve gotten in a habit of always cleaning new tanks in case there’s any machining oil or residue left inside. It doesn’t take much to make the first tank of liquid taste bad. After cleaning the tank, I lubricated the outer o ring that the top cap slides over to make it a little easier to take off and put back on since you have to remove the top cap to fill the tank.

I found the deck rather interesting. It’s a post less deck so you have to cut your coils to length before installing them. There is a hole on each end of the deck to allow airflow intake and a series of two rows of holes below where the coils sit to allow the airflow to come under the deck and up over the coils. The grub screws used take a flat head screwdriver to loosen and tighten and I had no issues with them. The threads were very smooth. The 510 center pin is removable and included with the tank is a long squonk pin so you can use this rdta with a squonk mod. I’ve been meaning to try it with a squonk mod but haven’t yet. I think I’ll like it better that way since I seem to go through liquid pretty quickly on this tank.

As you can see in the picture below, I went with a single coil. I had no doubt that the tank would be good with dual coils but I often prefer single coils and wanted to see how it would perform with just one. I was not disappointed. The Helheim provided one of the most dense and saturated vapes that I have ever had from a single coil tank. I’ve run tank after tank of liquid through it and am very happy with the flavor and vapor production I got from it while running it at 32 watts with one of the included coils. I wasn’t sure which way was best so I cut the tails a little long on the cotton and tucked them into the holes to stick down a little way into the tank. I had zero issues with dry hits. The cotton stayed fully saturated the entire time until the tank was nearly empty.

The bottom portion of the top cap has two metal pins molded into it that align with the two holes in the base where you fill the tank. So when you remove the cap to refill then you have to align the pins with the holes while pushing the cap back on. I did have a little trouble at first putting the cap back on but quickly got used to it.

The top cap has two types of airflow adjustment. The lower is of course a bottom airflow while the upper is a top airflow adjustment. I initially tried it with both open some and then one open while the other was closed. I felt like I got the best flavor with the top airflow closed and the bottom airflow control halfway open with the single coil I was running. However, while keeping the top airflow closed I did seem to get a lot of condensation seeping around the closed holes and had to wipe it on the outside occasionally. However, this could partially be due to me having my coil as high as it was.

FINAL THOUGHTS:

The Helheim RDTA has been a real pleasure to test. I don’t have much experience with RDTA tanks besides one other that I have purchased. To have a tank that can use single or dual coils and still produce phenomenal flavor is a definite bonus in my book. There are plenty of dual coil tanks out there that produce good flavor but they tend to not be as good with a single coil configuration. This tank produces some of the most dense and saturated flavor and vapor that I have ever had from a single coil tank.

Besides delivering great flavor, I think it’s great that a squonk pin is included with the tank and at some point I plan on moving it from my Arez 120 to a squonk mod. That way I can just squonk to fill the tank when I need to instead of having to remove the top cap every time and align the pins when reinstalling it.

The two different airflow controls will be a big bonus for those that like big airflow. I was able to get the airflow as tight or loose as I wanted and could even do an RDL with the right coil. I would probably go with a coil with a little higher resistance than what came with the tank for doing RDL because I like RDL in the 22-27 watt range. I had plenty of airflow with the included coil with the bottom airflow half open and the top closed. With both open partially it was more airflow than I needed for a single coil configuration.

The only complaints I have on this tank are the condensation I was getting built up at the top airflow holes when closed and wish it had a larger liquid capacity with as fast as I was emptying the tank. I guess that’s the tradeoff for getting such great saturated flavor. However, as I mentioned, that’s where the squonk pin will come into play.

Overall I think the Hellvape Helheim RDTA is a fantastic tank and would definitely recommend it if you are looking for a tank that is truly a flavor banger. Whether you choose to run it on a standard mod or a squonk mod, this one is a winner for sure.

I’d like to thank Hellvape and Mindy for sending the Hellvape Helheim RDTA for this review and also a big thank you to those that made it to the end of my review. Below is a link to the Hellvape website if you would like to see what they have to offer.
