Battery discharge?

[Bufitnut]

After reading some posts here I am wondering if I'm taking my batteries down to far. I'm using an eVic with icr18650 2200mah batts. Since I have a battery level on the eVic I take it down to zero. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? If it's bad when should I pull the battery and throw it on the charger?

the zero limit on the evic is not the zero limit for the battery it is doing the work for you when its dead in the evic then its time for charging but the battery is not fully discharged yet.
regulated mods take care of this for us by stopping at around 3.2 volts. 2.5v or lower is overdischarged

Yes, taking a battery down to zero is bad. Most protection circuits, wether on the device or the battery, cut off a 3.7v battery at 3.2 volts because it wears out the battery faster if you go beneath a certain level.

Thanks y'all!! That's what I needed to know. Was getting confused reading all the numbers and math.

I have an eVic too... if you need more vaping time, get the 3600mAh..
Don't worry about the '00' on the eVic, its doing the protection for you..

So you're liking the 3600mah batt kumail?

Thanks for this info, I had questions about how low to go Myself. I get about two days out of the stock batteries with what I would say is moderate leaning towards heavy vaping.
