battery life

[demon72]

I just started vaping the other day..... smoked a pack and a half to two packs of analogs a day prior... I wanna quit totaly but my cheepo (super expensive) pv battery life is half assed at best... so at work by noon oneish I end up having gone thru my two batteries needin to fire up an analog...cheepo (super expensive) DC charger dosent work so no charging in my truck outlet. ( down from two packs a dayish, so Im currently ok with it) but I guess I need a better pv.

So Im lookin for info on what I should buy.... first thing, great battery life, smallish is cool but Im open, needs to hit good (obviously) and Id like it to be fairly simple with not to much maintenence and what not. Dosent really matter if it looks like a cigarette or not....

Any suggestions?

e-pipe is my favorite.
roughstack is a small pocket friendly device and strong performer.
I would pick PV that can handle dual coil carto.
3 amp switch is recommended.

Guess you'll be looking at something with more than 900mAh (A guess on my part, for a 2 PAD, I'm not sure if the eGo will do it).

For small, there's the roughstack (don't get the maxi). There's the GLV2 mini, however, that holds a CR123 (AW batt is 750 mAh).

Does Ikenvape still carry the chameleon?

 

[demon72]

thank you... but Im afraid I dont know what any of that means.

 

[demon72]

Im not sure....900mAh is a hella strong battery? how long might it last?

 

[rottgas]

demon, go to madvapes (a forum supplier) and look at the roughstack (under ecig kits I think). how long a 900 mah battery will last you kind of depends on how you vape....you're probably using a 150 - 220 mah battery right now, so a 900 mah ego or riva might last you most of your day....

 

[demon72]

kick ...... thanks rottgas, and If one battery wont last Im sure two will! Yea I think the battery is 180mah

18350 1200mah batt that fits pipes and roughstack provides about 6 hours of heavy vaping w/ power thirsty dual coil.
Lasts all day when vaped in moderation.
costs about $6 so easy to buy a spare.
It is 1.5" tall.
I'm 100% satisfied w/ 18350.

Here's the roughstack from madvapes:
RoughStack V2
Here's the kit (batteries, charger, etc)
RoughStack V2 Kit
These hold 18350 batteries. (18 is the diameter of the battery in mm (roughly 3/4"), 350 is the length of the battery (about 1-1/2").

Here's the GLV2 Mini:
GLV-2 Mini 3.7 Volt Electronic Cigarette [GLV-2-MINI] - $95.00 : Electronic Cigarettes and E-Liquid - Great Lakes Vapor
There's also the super mini. But I haven't looked into that one at all.

mAh is effectively the "storage" capacity of the battery. I think estimates are roughly 100 mAh per hour. So, a 900 mAh battery should last you roughly 9 hours. Give or take. But since you're a 2 PAD (pack a day), I'd suggest you carry an extra battery or 2 with you.

These mods take single batteries which are rated at 3.7 v. I'd suggest you get some LR (Low Resistance) atty's to get that good hit.

I think a pair of 900 mAh batts would serve your needs just fine, demon72. By not putting all of your eggs in one battery, you get a lot more choices for models. Just make sure everything you get is 510 compatible, and you can change your PV one part at a time without buying all new gear when you want to try something new.

Good luck to you!

Any suggestions?

Everyone forgot to ask you what kind of PV did you get. Or from where did you get it. Without knowing what kind of PV you originally got its hard to make a good suggestion. So what kind of PV did you originally buy?

 

[demon72]

Thanks everyone... info most helpfull! looks like the RSV2 is right along the lines Im looking for. Y'all have good vibe ordering from Madvapes?

 

[hunter55]

what about something that is 4 plus volts or you can adjust the voltage

 

[demon72]

LOL... the cheepo ( super expensive) kind of course!! }> its from the mall kiosk global smoke.... I think ( from reading here) its a 510

Hunter, I swear I ain't stalking you...

I believe that at full charge, the Lithium batteries discharge at 4.2V. But after use, the discharge drops to 3.7 (it's a sharp decline, like a roller coaster, as opposed to dropping off a cliff). But others will have to chime in on adjustable. I'm aware of them, but don't know much about them. At the top is the provari and the darwin. Then there's the Buzz, Infinity, and I think a'lil has a vv(?).

Demon, I had no problems ordering from madvapes. Being up in Canada, I can't comment on shipping as customs wanted to stare at my box. So it took me 2 weeks. I've read they're relatively fast. Typically your order goes out the next day at the latest.

Madvapes is good.
Have a look at dual coil; really great.
If you don't overfill they don't leak a drop.
Roughstack is very user serviceable; I think mine will last decades.

thank you... but Im afraid I dont know what any of that means.

HILARIOUS.

as a fellow new kid on the block, i totally agree with you.

One more thing for Hunter, here's a discharge graph from Redilast batteries. I'm going to make an assumption that other makers have somewhat similar dropoffs.

For more information, head on over to battery university (I've just skimmed their pages, but there's a boatload of stuff to read).

Now thats funny....but look on the bright side, you dont live here in the states!

 

[hunter55]

at 4mehealth i think all of those are on the expensive side to me. I been using a riva for like six months, just hooked it up to a voltage meter and it is around 3.3, I am doing fine with it, just thought maybe could get a little more kick with something higher, might end up making my own if i can find the time or a buddy to make me one?
