<3.5v Overdischarged Unprotected safe battery for the Mini

[rebar]

Im running my Mini with red oveready AW 14500 IMR's. It is a safe/unprotected battery. The mini does not have a low voltage cut off. How do I know if my battery is dropping below 3.5v? Does one battery last the entire 3ml bottle?

Thanks

I usually use two batteries per 3 ml bottle.

I feel the vape getting weak about 3.7 volts and pull it.

I feel it cooling down and change batteries. I think it would be really hard for it to get below 3.5v without noticing. Do you have a multimeter?

I agree...the vape definitely changes and you know its time to change the battery. If you have a multimeter...it would be a good exercise in getting to know your mod better by checking the battery the first few times you notice changes. That way you'll have a better way of quantifying a need for change. But I don't check my batteries as I vape....these days I more often than not check them coming off the charger just to make sure they're not overcharged.

If you get the 14500 down to 3.5 volts you would only be pushing about 3.2 to the atty under load.
Thats pretty weak, you would notice for sure

BTW when i said 2 batts per 3ml thats with attys on board.

If I am using cartomizers I can use 4 batts to get the 3ml bottle empty

Cartos just use that much less juice IMO.

Thanks.
Yes I have a multi meter. Its just the limited time I have issue.
I did notice the increase of heat with a new battery so I will run with that for now. My first LR306 from joye seems like it has lost allot of performance. I removed the wick and that seemed to improve it a bit. I hope I get more than a few days from my spare LR306's.

Once you find a good pv, attys become the bane of your existence. It's just not something you notice when you're spilling juice all over youself and constantly recharging batteries. Not to mention, once you get true 3.7v, you can use those powerful low ohm attys, and get much better hit, but shorter life.

Just wondering mlinky.. Does the calculator in your signature subtract how much you've spent on gear? I mean I love how I feel. But the money and time I spend vaping.. more the time.. is a bit overwhelming.

Nah, cigarettes are cheap here. BUT, I am finally saving money. Now that I have a great pv, and an all-day juice, it is only costing me about $45 for juice and $30 for attys per month. The cigs would be $135 per month. I do enjoy buying REOs, but I don't NEED to
