Almost a full day without a cig :(

A deft sidestep
Actually, during the day I'll normally run them until I notice vapor production going down (don't care if the LED flashes, since getting vapor is what counts to me). At night though it's nice to toss the second battery on the charger even if I've only used it an hour or so, so I start with two fully charged ones in the morning.

While it is true that the batteries do not have a memory, would it not still be better to use them up to their full capacity so that you will know just how long a fully charged battery will last you? I still subscribe to the use till dead method, not saying that it is right or wrong, but it has always been my practice. What you choose to do is up to you of course, I was just giving my personal opinion.

Yep, wanted your opinion....and quite honestly..I'm going to continue to use the bats until they flash and indicate that they need charging like you recommend. Thanks for your reply

With my Vapor King, the bats seem to keep producing great vapor right up until the LED flashes. I bought four bats just to make sure I don't end up with no charged bats (and end up smoking an analog). It's been eight days since I've smoked

I can completely understand that. But that is why I always bought 3 batteries with those type of e-cigs, 2 to carry fully charged and 1 to leave on the charger after being used. I can understand the expense of buy 2 batteries as compared to 3.

You are very welcome. Just want to reiterate, in this case there are no wrong or right answers, just personal preference.

That is the best way to learn. Here on the forum we were all newbies once and have learned and grown from our personal experiences and from the knowledge of others.

I commend you for using your common sense to increase the pleasure of your vaping experience!

If you are close to your pc or in your car try a USB passthrough.
I like mine.....no battery woes !
Purchased mine from MadVapes.

Hey RollTheBones, I thought I'd direct your attention back to getting a pass through. It connects directly to your computer via the USB plug and will save your batteries for when you really need them. They don't cost very much and do a great job.

I know they also make them that will work in a car, but so far I haven't found one that will actually do it. Maybe someone else can advise both of us on that part.

Look what I got!!!!!

My pass thru works in the car! It's a v4l pass through with a Phillips converter, which I bought for $20 at Office Max. Hope this helps!!!

 

[markfm]

What's the part number of the Phillips (or a link)?

Any pass through will work in a car, you just need a USB car adapter that is at least 1.5 amps. 2 amps is the best. 2 amp Car to USB Adapter

I don't know the part number, but if you go into Office Max and ask them for a Phillips USB to cig adapter, that's it. It was the ONLY one they had made by Phillips. Good luck! My pass through really saves on the battery issue that everyone seems to have! Although, I get strange looks at red lights! LOL
