Am I doing this wrong? Terrible battery life.

[Gahau]

Currently running the new vaporesso luxe that takes two 18650.
I have some LG HG2 at 3000mah, using a 0.18ohm and vaping at 75W, 2 Sec drag.
It is very taxing in the battery department, I dont think I can last a day...
Normal?

Low ohms and high watts eats batt life.

 

[diagrammatiks]

2 hg2s are only 5000mah of battery life.

Not gonna last a whole day of chain vaping.

I run a similar setup and go through 2 pairs of hg2s a day. So your results sound normal.

For 75w? Yeah, probably.

Sad...

It's not that bad. I own 4 pairs of batts and always have 2 pairs charged. Carry 1 xtra pair when I'm out and about.

 

[mintymints]

yes its normal for these mods to be heavy on batts. my swag wont do all day and i dont chain-vape

Steam-engine says 16 minutes total runtime, 200 puffs.

2 hg2s are only 5000mah of battery life

HG2s are 3000 mAh apiece, so 6000 mAh

I have a SMOK Species which uses dual 18650 (I'm using Hohm Life batts) and currently on a 0.17ohm mesh coil and I gotta tell you they last me a while before they run out. My puff counter says I get ~150 puffs before I need a recharge and I do +4s pulls

My Paranormal 250c lasts me all day and all night. Usually dies around 5am-7am. Im using 25r's. .13 ohms. I take 3 pulls at a time.

Google fail.

Still at those numbers it won’t last me all day.

The real question is how many of those 2s puffs per day? 50 puffs yeah it should last 500 probably not. You do have a few options though.

1. Carry spare batteries to get through the day.
2. Up your nic concentration and take fewer puffs in a day.
3. Increase resistance to about .5 or .6 and vape at 25 - 30ish watts.
4. Some combination of the above.

You using the TC? It can save a lot of power

 

[Lufty]

Yeah [:

 

[bombastinator]

Yeah [:

So we got a suggestion: switch to TC and you might get through the day. Yay!

You know the Old Say'n... "The Candle that Burns Twice as Bright has Terrible Battery Life."

Or something like that.

BTW - Ever consider doing a build at a Higher Ohm that Didn't need so many Watts to make the Candle Shine?

Sad...

Sad because you were disappointed based on . . . what?
