Battery Life on LavaTube MINI ?

[surfsuphere]

To those of you using the LavaTube MINI 18350, using the BrandX 18350 battery enclosed in the Kit,

1. Approx how long does one fully charged battery last you?

2. Approx how long does it take to charge on the enclosed BrandX charger?

thanks

I would also like to know how long these things last.

I don't have one "yet" but judging from the 700mah rating of the AW IMR that I would probably use in it I would guess from 1/2 to 3/4 of a day... But that would also be dependent on what voltage you use... Running the mini at say 5.5v will put significantly more drain on the battery than say 4.8v and drain the battery faster... If you were to use higher ohm dual coils they will also put more drain on the battery as well...

700 mah is equal to the small ego / tornado batteries . Some get 4 hours of use, some get 6. When im really busy at work and I'm using snuff I can get a full day out of it. But I figured if you get two and swap them out you'll be fine. I bought a regular size but might get a mini for leaving the house

hehe,they dont last 3 hrs on my stealth.

Always carry at least 2...3 would be my choice.

I am using 16340 on my mini LT just because still trying to understand which 18350 is the better choice.

Anyway, using AW IMR 16340 (550 mah) and AW ICR 16340 (700 mah) and Ressurectores 1.7 ohm I got only about 2 - 2.5 hours.

wow 2 hours! are you running it at 6V every 5 seconds??!

Just 4.2 volts while heavy vaping.

It seems like battery life is subjective based on the user. I consider myself a chain vaper and i tend to have my lava tube cranked up to 5V and i get a good day's worth of battery life. Still using the batteries that came with the kit.

Mine uses the 18350 my 700mah & 900mah 18350s last at least 5 hours I think that AW do a 700mah 18350 that may be a better battery !!!

I am using these 16340 batteries with GLV mini and SuperT for almost a year so they might not hold charge very well.

Just ordered these 18350 800 mah IMR's - IMR 18350 Batteries, 800 mAh, Rechargeable, Chemicaly Safe

100mah per hour of vaping is a guideline. If you vape frequently or with low resistance coils, then you will get less. It's more about wattage than mah capacity with variable voltage. The more you crank the voltage, the less vaping time you get.
