Been vaping about three months and upgraded a few days ago from a E-Go VV battery / Evod 2.0 ohm setup (also have a Mini Pro tank 2, which I found unremarkable) to a the following:
Bagua clone
EFest 18350 3.7 volt 900mAh protected battery
iClear 30B tank
stock 2.1 ohm dual coil.
The decision was based on the design and size of the mode. I don't want to carry a huge phallic symbol around. Battery life was not a concern initially, as I'm near a charger more often than not. I'm not a cloud chaser, but was hoping to see stronger vapor production.
Here are my issues broken down; bear with me as solutions to some of these may be basic knowledge:
1) the iclear 30 B had a bad coil seal and leaked profusely. Not a slight leak, either - I lost .5 ml of liquid within an hour - it leaked all over the top cap and into the contact pin. Replaced coil, problem solved. Also bought a Kanger Aerotank with a 2.0 ohm dual coil, but have not used it on the mod yet.
a) Both of these tanks generate acceptable vapor on the E-go VV at 3.7 volts, but noticeably less than my Evods with 2.0 and 1.8 ohm single coils. 4.0 seems to be the sweet spot on the E-go.
2) Battery: This battery seems to discharge very quickly: within four to five hits, it just stopped producing vapor I've charged it three times in the past two days for about 4 hours on a 3.7v 450 mA charger. Do I have the wrong charger here?
Today, I'm letting the battery charge for 5 hours, but I am frustrated with the performance so far. Vapor production was near disappointing, and the way too fast battery discharge just makes it more frustrating. I'm considering a second battery as a backup, but have not seen a 18350 with a voltage rating higher than 3.7 volts - do these exist? Can anyone shed some light on what I should do to get this up and running as is should before I drop more money into it, or do I have unrealistic expectations?
Thank you>
