batteries draining faster?

[The Ocelot]

i just put a freshy in about 15 minutes ago. it's at 4.2 and i am not currently vaping.
the charger is also about 2 months old...a nitecore I2 (2013 version)

thanks for not bonking me on the head

Funny you say that - I've stopped charging my 18350s on my nitecore. They charge faster than on the xtar, but I swear they drain faster too. It might be my imagination, but it was something that was noticeable enough to catch my famously deficient attention.

i notice i get a ligher puff for two maybe 3 pulls, and as soon as i say hmm somethings not right i notice the light is blinking.

Add me to the group!

at this point....i honestly think that the faster draining was from running a lower resistance carto. i haven't been using the 1.5-1.7 and it hasn't had the same behavior.
from a non electrical engineering stand point .......

maybe i was pulling longer and deeper because the resistance was lower even tho i wasn't vaping more frequently?

I don't think so. I think the impedance is to the current not you. Of course, I have no thumbs, so likely have misunderstood the.........look a bicycle!

Troubles like this are common in my family. My brother has ADOS Attention Deficit Ooooh Shiny, and I have CDO it's like OCD but all the letters are in alphabetical order, as they should be. Now back to your not so normally scheduled thread.

I sent my wife's Vari in for service after batt life with the AW IMR 18490's dropped to about half. I had tried all the cleaning tricks. They replaced the board. No problems since...
