Another vape that shot its load on me...

[thefutureisnow]

I purchased the Geek Vape Aegis Boost a few weeks back. This is probably the 20th vape device that has stopped working on me. The micro usb port no longer takes a charge and I was gentle with it when charging it. I'm going to stick to vapes that use usb c charging from now on.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a vape decice that has a large enough battery for a full day of heavy vaping, uses usb c and had a large tank that will also hold enough juice for the day? Draw activation would be nice but it's not necessary. I also need something that is mouth to lung because I get a sore throat easily from vaping. Also, I'd much prefer the battery to be integrated in the device as opposed to having to put the battery in. There are too many options on the market and I can't decide which one to get so I would appreciate any help. Thanks so much in advance.

Most people avoid Smok like the plague.

There was a time here when we saw 2-3 newbies posting each week about their broken and / or malfunctioning Smok something or other.

Ok, he's bought the Smok, let's help him keep it running for as long as possible. 1. Use a quality charger. 2. Don't overcharge it. 3. Don't charge it overnight. 4. Dont use at the extreme maximum wattage. 5. Obviously, don't abuse it, by dropping it or getting it wet.

Replaceable batteries are definitely the way to go. There are plenty of pod mods with a single 18650 battery. You'll get better battery life, won't have to deal with an internal battery or the internal charging system failing, and they are only a tiny bit larger than the ones with 1500-2000 mAh internal batteries.

And it's not like vape companies are reputable and legit and will give you a new device like when you are returning something to amazon.

Ummm, not true. A company sent me 2 replacement mods for the 2 they originally sent that were used and had me keep the original 2. So, yep... legit companies DO take care of their customers.

Yes, there have been, still are, many many many legit and reputable vape companies.

if it's only a few weeks, you should contact geekvape as it should still be under warranty.

though I still think that if this is an on going issue, then something is wrong...something is killing the batteries, either the way you are charging them, or the way you are using them, or juice leaking into them, or leaving them out in a car, or something....
ok one or two dudes but 20....something's off....
I mean every company has a dud, I bought an asmodus spruzza and well it was a dud, now it's just a fancy paperweight, so even the better rated companies have issues sometimes....but smok unfortunately is more known for having issues...hopefully yours isn't one of them.

I'd say check the cord you are using to charge with that it isn't frayed or something...check the plug you are using...like where I live these are old buildings so everything is on surge protectors.
Make sure that the atty you use isn't leaking so juice isn't getting down inside the 510 and the mod.
Make sure not to leave the mod in a car or somewhere that the temps can get to extreme hot or cold.
Make sure that the atty and the ohm of the coil that you use isn't over taxing the battery as well as not using the max watt of the mod to over tax the battery.
Just some suggestions to try and help since this seems to be an ongoing issue with various mods.

how are you charging it? are you using like a 3a charger or something? you really should be using a 1a or even 0.5a would be better to charge your devices.

not saying that there's not a dud in every batch but if this is a continuous problem, then chances are it's the way in which you are charging the devices.
and well I know that you said you want a built-in battery instead of replaceable but as you've seen this is one of the downfalls of built-in battery mods...once the battery goes the mod is useless, whereas with replaceable batteries, just swap out for new batteries and you are good to go.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a vape decice that has a large enough battery for a full day of heavy vaping...that will also hold enough juice for the day?

Impossible to answer since you never told us...

1) how many milliliters you vape in a day
2) how high a wattage you vape at

...at the very least.

How a person could go through 20 mods in 9 years is a mystery to me.

how are you charging it? are you using like a 3a charger or something? you really should be using a 1a or even 0.5a would be better to charge your devices.

Not really. Amps are pulled by the device (the mod), not pushed by the charger (wall wart, computer, etc.). Assuming the mod's charging circuitry is designed properly so that it will never pull more amperage than it can handle, you could use a charger with an output amperage 500 times higher than the mod's max charging input amperage and the mod would never pull more than it's max.

What you really need to pay attention to is the output voltage of the charger. Should never exceed 5 volts (for vape gear). But if it is a charger specifically designed for USB devices then it probably will never be rated for over 5 volts, but it's always good to check.

There are also hazards to using low amp changers that output lower amperage than the mod's max. Everything's a gamble which is why nothing should be charged while you're sleeping or not around and even chargers should be unplugged when not in use.

It is interesting that my phone and tablet never have problems with the charger burning out. I suppose that's because most vapes are made as cheap as possible with cheap garbage parts from China.

*giggles* no offense but you do realize that almost all phones and tablets are made in china with cheap parts....just sayin

oh and um btw....smok is one of the worst rated as far as that goes....erm....but good luck.....

I would offer help but I don't do single battery mods or pods really so can't help much... I did however like the drag nano and swag px80 (edit, sorry the px80 is not an internal battery, forgot....)

 

[Territoo]

And when the batteries go bad, you just buy new batteries. You don't have to buy a whole new mod.

It's ok the next vape u gonna get gonna be better if that new don't last...
..still cheaper and healthier than smoking cigarettes

 

[vaper1960]

Nothing to add (about Smok, internal vs removeable battery, ect) Personally, I love my Innokin Kroma Z (big internal battery, replaceable pods that connect with magnets, fairly large juice capacity and USB C charging. And it's comfortable to hold, doesn't leak (at least at home... don't carry it around) and very lightweight. It takes all the Z coils (many to choose from) Thinking of getting another one. Maybe get a better USB charger... they don't cost much.

How many hours does the Aegis Boost last you on a charge, and how much juice do you use per day?

[Territoo]

I'm sure it got good good reviews. They work great, until they dont. I went through 3 Smok Mag 225w in 2 years before I learned. Try an Innokin Sceptre or a Freemax autopod 50.

That ^^^^^^.

Might be a new record, but if they were all Smok, who knows.

Yeah I know right? I thought the same when he up and said, "bought a smok!" like yep...that explains everything! Haha

I was getting a year out of cheap ego batteries bought off eBay back in the day... lol

 

[thefutureisnow]

My Smok Majesty has been good for 2.5 years so far. 3 years on the G-Priv and still going. G-Priv was used when I bought it. Both of these work great with Zeus-X tanks.
