About 3ml, 3.6 - 3.75, Nuppin', .4 MM coils Or could it just be the mod? Using all Reo's at the moment.

That is about the same as I get. I change batteries at half a bottle. I only vape nuppins and .47ohm coils using twisted 26ga on all REO's. When I change a battery they are ~3.8

Someone a lot smarter than me need to come up with a solution to our problem!

I rotate 20 batteries of 4 different brands. I prefer the LG's or Sony. I have not kept up with the new batteries and it is getting time to replace some of what I have. I am going to have to research and see if there is anything new out there.

Believe when I say Tami that battery technology is an issue in many fields. Boeing recently developed a new aircraft (the B787 Drealiner) and when it first flew it was grounded because it's Lithium batteries would overheat compromising safety. Sadly the vape community will benefit from new battery technology pretty much last but rest assured there's some real smart folks working on new technology.

Last ones I bought were MXJO 2500MaH 30A and have lasted better than the others I have bought sooooo, if there's nothing else I may have to purchase more of these.

I know very little on batteries info but your post got me thinking that I read something about those MXJO and after looking around I found it. I have no idea if it is true but anyway.......PSA: "Best" 18650 Batteries Besides The VTC Series. : electronic_cigarette
I have bought the LG's and the MXJO and I can't believe they are the same battery. The LG's got put away quite quickly and the MXJO's are still in service.

Of course there may be a difference from the original MXJO and the bootlegged ones too.

I'd believe you over that but just wanted you to see it. :)

I am pretty sure that I am going back to AW 1600 or HB6's. If I am going to have to change batteries each 3ml then I might as well have it hitting hard the whole time. For me and my vape style I find that the Samsung 25R is still around 3.9-4 at 3mls but the vape is weak and I'm hunting for a new fire stick. I get the same result with the purple Efest.

But.....that is my experience and it could all be in my head. Sometimes I hear voices and I just answer with yes dear and move on.

Yep, I'm in the same ballpark, and I don't see a huge difference between different mechanical squonkers, but the humpin l'il pinch Is among the best that way. It doesn't bother me 'cause I use a minimum of 3 mods throughout the day, so none of them ever need to get their batteries changed more than once a day.

I got the HB6, not the HG2. I was finding that I was pulling them at around 3.8V. This, however, I attribute to the fact that I was trying to heat 23g wire. (lot of wire mass, affects kick-time noticeably) So, I'm finding that I prefer the same build with 24g wire (the ~2mm ID, 5.75 wrap, duals), using the HE2 on a .21Ω build (VS .17Ω). It's a very similar vape, and/but I can run the 2500mAh down to under 3.6V, easy, and enjoy the vape all the way down.

Definitely, if one can achieve more or less the same vape with less wire mass, it'll provide more vape time. It all comes down to how fast the coils get up to phase-change temperature (for the perceived satisfaction and for actual energy spent "pre-heating" VS steam generating).

Would you mind giving us a link please?

You spoke to heat up time so would nichrome have a better relationship with my batteries?

Actually, now that I think about it, I think the ideal mix for me right now would be to take it all the way back up to the ~.23-.24Ω builds I was doing with 25g wire, and up my nic% by just a couple points (say, 22mg/mL VS 20). That, I think, would put me in the sweet spot for biggest # of satisfying toots delivered from a single battery cycle.

Nichrome has less wire mass per resistance (i.e. a 1 ohm coil built of nichrome will have less wire in it than a 1 ohm coil built of kanthal). So, it will totally increase your kick time. However, nichrome causes sore throat for some folks, and can be finicky (legs melting on initial glowing of coils and such). I used nichrome for a long time, and preferred it for those reasons (the former, not the latter).

I love my nichrome and stopped using it when I got my MM wire but I may have to revisit it. You forgot the link to the batteries.
