Battery Life?

[DaBrat]

OK I dropped my hopes for the Blu Cig and went for the 510. I must say the battery life on my unit really sucks. I cahnge the batts more than the carts on this thing and yes I did charge for a full 8 hours and then rechargefor two after a combined 20 mins of vaping the first time.

Can anyone reccommend a PV with a longer battery life? Post your experience and batt life approximations if you don't mind. Right now I am working on an analog (luckily I put my remaining packs in the freezer) because both batts needs charging and that is the result of at least one batt being on a charger at all times.

I believe everything has better battery life but the mods(janty stick, sd, gg prodigy, zimoshi)or home built has the real performance with batt life. I vape pretty heavy and a pcc with 3rd battery keeps me rolling in the 510

You need to keep a minimum of 3 batteries in rotation at all times. I have it down so simple, that it's not even frustrating. I keep my power pack with me at all times with the little small 510 USB charger. It only takes an hour to recharge the battery, so everything just rotates all day long and I'm never struggling with the batteries. My power pack is 3000 mAh and lasts for days and days and days and days and days without having to charge it.

Thanks for the info... Guess I'll buy another 510 kit (for batts and atomizers) and PCC to make sure I have batt life. The first one has already paid for itself as well as the extra juice so what the heck?

I'm not talking about a PCC. I think those are a waste of money. I am talking about a power pack and a usb charger. Your power pack can be double used for charging and for passthroughs. A PCC will only charge a battery 4 times in one day. My power pack can charge batteries for days on end.

Help!!! Noob here! Have no idea of what that is or where to find one. Sorry

If you want 6-8 hours of battery life and batteries that cost $2 instead of $13-$20 to replace and consistent, great throat hit, then here are your options:

Screwdriver: ecigscrewdriver.com
The Black Screwdriver Kit / Totally Wicked eLiquid / Electronic Cigarette e-liquid shop
Prodigy: PureSmoker.com - Home of the USA Built PV !!!
GG: THE GG
JantyStick: Janty USA
Zi Moshi Home

Anyone of these will do the trick and you will have one of the best PV's made.

I believe lucky is referring to a kensington power pack

Thanks for the info... did a quick google search and found it. So this is for use with a pass-through? At least as far as I can tell.

or a usb battery charger

+1 wv2win's list. I'd add to that list the following:
AdapteveR Home of the ORIGINAL USA built PV : Home
or you could check out a pipe, like the DSE-601 (asidrave has a good review here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...44-dse-601-e-pipe-review-part-2-asidrave.html)

Another option is to pick-up a PCC for your 510 and a few extra batteries. I was able to use that on a daily basis and rotated between about four batteries using the pcc. I should say though that after doing that a while I ended up making and buying mods. There are a lot of benefits of the mod but it may be worth buying the PCC first and see if that solves it. This is especially true now since 510 batteries have become much cheaper. Try buying from here: Heaven-gifts.com Ruyandirect.com Best E-smoking Shop

The PCC--> Black Personal Chager Casing for Joye510 - Spare parts - Heaven-gifts.com Ruyandirect.com Best E-smoking Shop

Extra Batteries --> Matte black manual BATTERY for Joye510 - Spare parts - Heaven-gifts.com Ruyandirect.com Best E-smoking Shop

They also have carts, liquid and atomizers for cheap. For a little more than the price of another starter kit from a big retailer you can set yourself up with juice, carts, liquid, pcc, extra atomizers and two extra batteries.

Hope that helps...

Good points, frankly. Have you tried that AdapeveR and if so, how does it work?

My wife has a PCC for her 510. It works great and get her through the entire day with plenty of room to spare. He also has a car charger for it.

A PCC is a good investment for serious 510 users.......

Thanks I was looking at ruyan direct but was on the fence about purchasing another complete 510 kit or another model that may have longer batt life. Definitely going for the E Juice, that is one commodity that is getting a bit scare (translate as pricey) on most sites since the FDA got involved.

Hey Wv2win,

I have an AdapteveR, been using it for the past 3 weeks. Its a really nicely made PV. If i was to make a gun analogy its the AK 47 model of PV's - simple, elegant, no nonsense design using commonly available parts that just gets the job done, easily field strippable and maintainable, built to last a life time.

Highly recommended esp for the price - Mildly fuller review here http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/electronic-cigarette-reviews/25478-adaptever-review.html
