Howdy folks,

So, there are some things I understand, but still a lot I don't. So, here's the question....

if you have a 18xxx battery that is a 1100mah, and you have a 16xxx that is also a 1100mah, will the vaping time be about the same? And is there a formula I can use to figure this out?

Im asking cause I have a chance to purchase a very nice mod but it uses batteries that are smaller physically than the 18650 that all of my purchases have used. I like this mod, but I also like the time I can vape on my 18650s. My LavaTube is 2200mah. The mods I'm looking at use 16xxx in one and 10xxx in the other. I'm trying to figure out if I can get approximately the same amt of vape time out of these other mods by purchasing better batts with higher mah ratings.

your help is very much appreciated.

thanks folks,
Big Mac

A general rule of thumb for the "average" vaper is 100 mah = 1 hour of "normal" vaping.

18xxx, 16xxx, 14xxx, etc is just size. An 18650 battery has a diameter of (about) 18mm and a length of 65.0mm. A 14500 (AA sized) will have a diameter of (about) 14mm and a length of 50.0mm, etc.
