3500 MAH MNKE batteries run out quick?

[Prometheus72]

so I'm using the 26650 MNKE batters and I find that I run outta power fairly quickly still. One doesn't last all day. Think I have bad batteries?

I put a fully charged 26650 battery on this morning in my Hades with a Tobecco kayfun HUGE running at 0.7ohms and I have already seemed to run the battery down in only 4.5 hours. Does this sound normal?

How many amps are you pulling and how heavy do you vape?

 

[Roccov]

What setup are you using them on and what ohm range?

 

[Prometheus72]

as I said. I'm vaping a lot...and running right now a 0.7ohm micro coil on a kayfun huge with my hades mod

That's pretty good if your constantly vaping at .7

31 minutes total run time at 0.7 ohms as per Steam Engine's calculator

oh that's a cool calculator! Thanks for that link!

No problem.

so I guess getting 3 hours or so outta my 26650 3500mah battery isn't that bad at all using a parallel coil as I am.

Going on from the good info from young Maurice:

Assuming 6 secs per puff, toke, toot, lug or whatever = 10 puffs per minute x 31 = 310 puffs per cycle.

Assuming once again that you take a puff once every minute then 310 mins = 5hrs 10 mins.

Obviously all this is very approximate but adjustments can be made per individual, as the length of a puff may differ, as also may the time between each puff may differ.

Then of course the coil build (ohmage) and power input (wattage) may or will vary. Overall I think you are somewhere near what's to be expected.

I guess i was just curious because I've seen some reviewers say they were still on the same battery 2 days later. I thought they would last longer than they do, but maybe I vape too much.

I've been trying to find the Sony 50amp batteries 26650 but so far I haven't found anyone selling them that will ship to Canada

Going on from the good info from young Maurice:

You are too kind, thank you.

Double the ohms and you should see double the life, presuming you don't require twice as long to heat up the build to get it to vaping temperature per draw, drag, or pull.
