18350 @ 800 mah... How long do they last you?

[thirtyfour41]

I got my Nemesis in the mail yesterday and I am going to get batteries for it today, but I am wondering what kind of battery life you guys get on average off an 18350 @ 700-800 mah. I'm running between 0.8-1.0 ohm on my Russian, and since the Russian is so big, I want to use the Nemesis as small as possible with it, but obviously get the best battery life.

I would guess not very long - - the C rating on 18350 is 6A, at .8 and full charge you are drawing almost every iota of that. Thats pretty dangerous as well as extremely taxing on your battery. At 1.5Ohms and ^ I get a good 6 hours of heavy-ish use.

1+ Ohm coil and my style requires like 2-3 batteries for me

PS: JFYI, 0.8-1.0 ohm is a bit unsafe for 18350

That's kind of what I figured, I was just trying to go small with my mod. So maybe I should be looking at 18500/18650?

From the Guru of all things battery Baditude:

You can't go wrong with AW IMR batteries. The Panasonic & Orbtronic hybrids are also a good choice, although the 3400 mAh Panny should only be used for mechanical mods with only clearomizers or cartomizers due to its 6.8 amp limit.

might be a good idea...

it depends only on your usage model, preferences,

like do you want to have battery inside your mod ( a bit more heavy and always in the hands )
or an additional one in your pocket ( mod is less heavy and just to replace it when needed )

Not sure I follow. I plan on carrying an extra around, just in case, but also have one in use at all times.

Battery life comes in two flavors, how many hours before you have to recharge, and how many charges before you have to replace the batteries. Using a small battery at 0.8Ω is going to stress the battery, more recharging, lower battery life, more cussing at them, buying new more often.

FYI, this is the chart I've been using. Does it seem accurate to you guys?

It's accurate, but limited in it's scope. The age of a battery, resistance from a dirty switch - 510 connection - battery contact, temperature of the room (cold lessens the performance of a battery a lot), and many other variables all factor into what resistance might be "safe"

You want as much headroom, extra amperage as reasonably possible. The vape time will be longer and the batteries should last longer....

 

[thirtyfour41]

So I guess I'm either gonna have to use a higher amp battery (larger) or start building higher resistance coils, is what you're basically saying?

It's better than being out and about...having both your batteries decide they no longer want to hold a good charge...nothing to vape....shakes, sweats....8-o...

Stay safe and vape on....

In a nutshell...yes.

I'd like to think if I'm out and about long enough, I'll remember to bring backups or an extra mod. I'm usually pretty prepared when it comes to that. But then again, carrying all that extra stuff can be a hassle sometimes.

From the brief month I owned a mystart apv I was getting 4 hours max per battery at 4.2v on a 3.1 ohm trophy

Where did you order your Nemesis from? I think that's my next purchase!

101Vape. It was cheap too, only $30. So far I'm loving it.

That's what I would do. Your original target of .8 to 1.0 Ω would be stressing an 18350 from what I have been reading.
I'm still learning myself but a sub ohm and a 18350 won't leave much room for error.
