A few questions about the Inferno...

[Spills]

Recieved my Inferno just a bit ago. Upgraded from the 510 mega batts (280 mah).
One of the big reasons I did this was LR attys. I really wanted to see what they brought to the table and can now say I will never buy anything but 306 attys for my direct dripping.
Anyway a few questions that I could use some clarification on please.

1. It says on the site that the Inferno is a 3.7 volt batt. Ive heard people mention that "Yes people do use Lr attys on thier Ego, however it is not a true 3.7 volt device". Is the same to be said for the Inferno? If so then what constitutes a true 3.7 volt lol.

2. Mosfet, hosfet, everywhere a mosfet. What the he;; exactly is a Mosfet switch and is the Inferno equiped with one? Again Ive heard mentioned that, because the Ego is not fitted with one its can be a risk to use LR attys on. Does the same hold true for the Inferno?

3. If these things are different on the Inferno...Am I in the wrong SubForum lol. Or is Inferno considered an Ego Clone?

Thanks again for any light that can be shed on this small little dark room

I have the Inferno, also.

I drip with the lr306 for about a few months now and have no issues.

The Inferno is at about 3.42v when fully charged (just tested one on a multi meter). I just also just tested my 18650 mod at 3.92v (which is about three quarters charged right now). Both are using a 306 bLR atty. To tell you the absolute truth, I can't tell the difference with my eyes closed. You will be happy with the Inferno. I have had the Inferno kit now for about a month vaping heavy with the 306 LR's, no problems yet with the batts.

Thanks for the replies. Rockproof I had posted another post a few weeks ago and your answer actually made me decide on the Inferno Have to say im loving it so far! Was gonna pick up a Volt meter and was wondering what are they mainly used for? Is it just to check and see if suppliers didnt lie about the ohm ratings of thier attys lol?

A multi meter is a useful device to troubleshoot with, when things are simply not happening.

Wrt using LRs with the Inferno or any other eGo clones. The LRs stress the battery. Many folks will trade off battery longevity for vaping Nirvana, there is nothin wrong with that, but do expect a decrease of anywhere from 35-50% shorter battery life using them as such. A 1.5Ohm atty draws 2.5A of current from the battery. The 650 and 1000mAh batts can only deliver 0.65A and 1A respectively. In other words you are running uphill. What is less stressful? Running up hill or on a flat plane, and which one will tire you out sooner? Nuff said.

The LRs were marketed wrong when they hit the scene, saying that they require a high drain batt of 420mAh or better. Many folks looked at 420mAh and forgot the "high drain" aspect.

A similar incident can be related to the mass failures of Missy's wetboxes where folks were using LRs on them, drawing 2.5A through a switch that could only handle 0.5A, resulting in mass switch failures. There is a disclaimer wrt using the wetboxes with LRs now.

I am glad you are enjoying the Inferno and I didn’t steer you wrong Spills.

Great analogy Switched (on the uphill ...). I think I had mentioned to the Spills that he would definitely drain the batts faster using the LR. As far as longevity is concerned, that seems to be a very gray area. I am sure it will shorten the lifespan of the batt but by how much, nobody seems to know or can even average yet. For me, a shorter life on the atty and batts is definitely worth the vape production from the 306 LR’s. Great TH, big plumes….when I pop a 306, I just say, “oh well, there goes the cost of a pack of analogs…”

How long does cholesterol build up in your arteries before a blockage? Internal resistance in LI Ions batteries builds up as the battery is used and exponentially when stressed. These are known facts. Battery information from Battery University

As long as folks are made aware of the shorter lifespan of the batt and atty (because the atty is not receiving the proper current) and are willing to accept the trade off. Hey I am cool with that. many more are voicing these observations these days. It is good to see. Folks are entitled to do what they want with their equipment to remain analog free, but rumours that it will not hurt the batt, need to be quashed
