18350 how do you vape for battery life?

[rice721]

Have a mod that uses 18350 batteries. Going to pair it with KFL, building the KFL to around 1.2~1.8ohms, will vape it around 9Watts.

Used the steam online battery calculator and it (800mah) yields about 2/3 of the battery life when compared to a single 18650 (3000mah) vaping at 40watts with a 0.5ohm build.

Was wondering how some of you were vaping with a 18350 battery mod to get the most out of it.

I'll watch this thread with interest, for I have an epipe that uses the 18350 batteries and if I use it all day I'll get through 2 -3 batteries using a 1.8 ohm coil and vaping max 4-5 mls of liquid.

Can't say specifically about an 18650 mod/Kayfun but my Reo Grand which I always run coil with a 1.3 ohm single coil uses one. I get a solid day to a day and a quarter before I have to swap out batteries.

Hope that helped.

Do u mean ure able to get a day out of an 18350? If so what wattage are u at with the 1.3

The Reo is a mechanical modand uses an 18650 (I believe). 1.3 ohms equals about 13.5 watts on a fresh battery (lower actually, due to voltage drop) and 10-11w when it's time to charge. Vaping time is not a very good metric as it varies to much due to individual vaping styles.

I have been disappointed with 18350 battery longevity , seems it can go from full to empty in a few hours vaping at 10 watts .

Need two to three to last all day .

Noted thanks

the OP was asking about 18350 batteries not 18650s - these largers will see most of us through at least a day... does anyone have any ideas for him?

That's terrible! Really sorry to hear that as I get about 7-8 hrs vaping at 65w on my IPVD2 (single 18650) with the .5 ohm coil in the Crown..just sayin
Edit:
Sorry 0P!
I see your refering to 18350 batts..I haven't even used a batt that small so i cant tell you anything about it--again my apologies,

Yes was asking about 18350 batteries...

I get about 3-4ml of vaping on an 18350 at 1.8 ohms, single coil. On workdays, I go through two per day, on weekends, three.

 

[KenD]

It's a long time since I used 18350s, but even so the OP question is impossible to answer. If I remember correctly I got around 4-5 ml on a single charge, and that was when draining the battery fairly low. How long that is in vape time depends fully on individual vaping habits.

I'm just looking for 1. What resistance your coils are (going to assume single coil) and 2. What wattage you vape said coils at which in turn leads to 3. how many mls of juice you can consume on 1 charge.

Not impossible to answer

I'm still fairly new to this all but I was really disappointed at the battery life while using my eVic mini with my crown using a 0.5 coil at 65 watts. When I switched to my Crius at 0.6 ohms I found my ideal vape was at 45 watts. I couldn't get past lunchtime before but now I can just about make it all the way to my commute home. I was pleasantly surprised.

1) My coils were at .8 at the lowest... 2) which on a mech mod is dependent on battery charge, so about 22-15w (disregarding voltage drop). 3) around 4-5 ml, if I remember correctly.

thanks!

thanks!

I should add that you need to take extra care to calculate your amp draw and stay within the cdr of the batteries. 18650s have lower cdrs than 18650s, and what's on the wrapper is often highly inflated. Check Mooch's 18350 tests to see what the actual cdr of specific batteries are.

Yes checked those already and went with the yellow AW IR. I'm running it with a regulated so worst case weak battery warning assuming the Dicodes chip hold up. And it's going to be a stealth setup MTL at around 9-12 W

Yellow AWs, those are new (well new to me at least)? What are the specs? Haven't used 18350s in a long while, and I'm unlikely to start using them again, but I'm always interested in what's out there. 9-12w should be well within the capabilities of any quality 18350, and you should get a decent runtime. Enjoy the Dicodes!

The best I can offer for the 18350s is to kick up the resistance and dial down the power. I have a Vamo 25W that uses the replaceable 18350s. But short of carrying a couple extra batteries with me, I'm unable to get a full day (work day) from a single 18350 with my "normal" style of vaping.

What I might consider (for experimentation purposes) would be to up my nic so I don't have to go through as much juice without having a lot of battery reserve?
