Battery issue (I'm assuming?)

[Drewps5co0tt]

I'm noticing with this vamo (V2) that after a freshly charged battery to 4.2 volts (18350), after only taking a few hits (5 for instance) when I check the battery percentage it has already dropped to 4 volts, this seems pretty extreme. Why is it discharging so fast? I haven't really used the 18650 yet because I prefer the device in "mini mode." My ProVari Mini using a 18490 lasted much longer than this, I don't understand what the problem is.

Have you ever actually vaped the 18350 till it died?

My ProVari Mini using a 18490 lasted much longer than this

So it seems odd to you that an 18490 with ~50% more mAh than an 18350 would last longer?

Mine does the same thing. It does the same thing with my 18650, too. I can use
the 18650 in a mech mod, though, and vape for several hours and it only drops to
4.1

I didn't realize an 18490 was 50 percent more battery than a 18350, no reason to be sarcastic, although that seems to be the rule rather thant he exception on here these days.

They're several factors that contribute to battery life. What voltage are you vaping, using a lr or higher resistance on your vamo. And also what brand battery it is may okay a part. My provari mini will show 4.0 on a fully charged battery because it tests it under load, when I test it with my meter it shows 4.159-4.2. As for the vamo I took 6 good drags and it dropped to 4.0 let it sit for 10-15 mins and its back at 4.2. Nothing is wrong, as I'm sure you know the larger the battery the longer its going to last.
