18650 Batt life on sub ohm build..... ?

[shinydiscoclub]

Today I have my first sub ohm build on a chimbus dual coil. reading at .35 ohms. kamry 100 mod. Just out of curiosity how long should these last when pulling high amps? I charged my batteries all the way (the green sony 18650s rated for 30a continuous). When they were done charging on my nitecore i2 charger, all three lights were lit (full). I wasnt puffing on it non stop. I'd say I did about 3-4 3 minute sessions or so of heavy vaping. I knew that you weren't suppose to let the batts run empty so i threw it on the charger to see where it was at and it was all the way down to one light and went up to two lights fairly quickly. Should they really go down that fast?

you really need a multi meter to check the actual voltage, lights on a charger isnt really telling you anything.

anyways your pulling 50 watts, so just think your trying to power a 50 watt light bulb off a single battery. cant expect that kind of power to last very long

50 watts and 12 amps

so did you get 1600mah or the 2100

so yes, a dual coil subohm will run through your battery pretty quick so you need to get a multimeter to check the voltage on your battery and make sure you don't pull below 3.3 volts

.34 subohm must have one HECK of a throat hit ( it would knock me on my, you know)

My 2.1 ohm build in my kayfun hits perfect with loads of vapor and throat hit at 7.5 ohms with no variance in flavor or vapor from 7.5 to 12 watts and I am only pulling 1.89 amps so no extra strain on the battery

my 2 cents

Have you used a tankometer? I'm not sure how reliable they are but it seems like less of a hassle than pulling the battery out and using a dmm all the time

it does have a ridiculous throat hit but the clouds i am producing are huge. The air holes on the nimbus clone are drilled to 1/8 inch. So low resistance + air flow gives me tons of vapor. I did drop down to 0, 4, and 6 mg for the sub ohm build, as opposed to my normal 12mg. At sub ohm though, even the 4mg feels like a 12+ throat hit.

The Nightcore charger always does that even if you take a battery you just charged off and put it right back on.

I run the same batt's at roughly the same ohms and I go through two batteries a day.
