Batt life on a lo-res atty

[HippyJonny]

Hey all,

I've been using a pair of 650 mah eGos for the last two weeks. With direct dripping, I love the experience. I was having too much trouble with the carts so I gave that up.

Anyways, I just ordered some lo-res 510 attys and I've been reading on the pages how they will drain the battery faster. My question is, how long will a 650 mah battery last with a LR 510 atty?

Hard to say really, but count on 1/3-1/2 lifespan reduction. To some this is insignificant as trade for vaping Nirvana.

I guess I'll have to wait and see. Even if I decrease the life by half, these things charge faster than my Kr808s, so I probably won't be too put out. I just want to make sure I'm gonna be okay when I leave the house.

I was talking overall lifespan, not single charge, although it applies to single charge as well.

I picked up some 900mah eGo's, you get about another 25% runtime when using LR's versus the 650's. Switched is correct on batt life and rundown. Remember you are increasing the amount of charge cycles on the batts so yes they will not last as long as they would when using standard atty's. For me it is a small price to pay for the increased performance.

I get 5-6 hrs of use with a single charge. Still have my cheapo ego batts since June. heavy use, and only used lr attys on them.

... and that is all that really matters. As long as folks know ahead of time and are ready to accept the consequences, then all is fine.
