battery life

[damselle]

hello, i'm back, and still struggling with all this. I have e9 batts and bought three more from lecig with some of their cartos. charged them all up two nights ago, but by the end of the day they were all dying, even the ones I didn't use. Do the batts loss power even when they are not in use?


And i'm already on my 4th carto from lecig, even with using the cartos from greensmoke that i have left. i think i'll need to go to juice. i didn't really want this hassle, but using approx three cartos per day is going to be expensive and inconvient.

I like the slimmer looking cigs. the fat one don't appeal to me.

is there a system with smaller 808 type batteries that I can get to last the day??? and cartos that last longer than what i'm experiencing?

The batteries should not loose charge appreciably when not in use . At least not during the course of a a day. So something may be wrong . Check you charger also.

Unfortunately battery capacity is related to its size and diameter , that is to say they longer and fatter it is the more energy it can store.

Unfortunately you're dealing with companies that are probably not the best. (trying to be polite here) If you're interested in longer battery life you're going to have to go to the larger style PV. If you're dead set against the "ego" style battery then this might be a better option for you. Smokeless Image | Only The Best Electronic Cigarette | Volt - Standard Starter Kit - Starter Kits

A larger battery is the only way to extended charge life. The eGo-T batteries with the 5 click on-off feature are really nice to have. Milliamp Hours (MAH rating) is your key to determining how long an ecig battery will last when charged. A good guideline is 100mah per hour of vaping. A 1000mah eGo battery will last you about 10 hours of normal vaping.

A KR808 battery can range from 180mah to about 480mah. The smallest eGo-T battery is 650mah and will last 5-6 hours before needing a charge. Small ecigs will always require frequent charging. If you insist on have a slim ecig, you might invest in a personal charging case (PCC) that will charge your batteries while you are out and about and a USB passthrough that will let you vape using the power from your computer's USB port.

Smokelessimage has also come out with a PowerPack. It is a 10,000mAh charging station that has 2 USB ports and can power your ecig. It can also charge cell phones, smart phones, etc. They also have a new pcc. Just a thought if you want to stay with KR808 style ecigs.

You are probably going to keep banging your head against the wall until you get bigger batteries and start filling and refilling cartos.

the volts look like what i want, but don't say what the mah is or what type of battery it is, is it an 808, that i might be able to get to work with the stuff i already have? (i'm very stubborn).

i also like the looks of the riva 510 that swedenfish had told me about. it looks like their batteries are 650mah, so if i got two, they would last the whole day. i'm a little confused as to whether their cartomizers are two peice, it looks as though they need to be filled.

and will they accept other cartomizers???

my head is swimming.

 

[damselle]

this brings me to my other question. what type of battery are the volts. i'm looking at smokeless image. are those d1's?? they don't say.

 

[KeysBum]

Get the Rivas Sweedishfish suggested.

 

[Ripper88]

So many different options is almost overwhelming...lol

Hmm, Using an eGo-C with the 650mah batteries. Only been using it for 3 weeks. Already see a decline in how long they last me. At first it lasted about 2-3 days. About 2nd week into it, 2 days. Now, I'm happy if it lasts me all day. I'm pretty sure its due to the fact that I am slowly vaping more and more and taking longer drags with it.

Yes they are. If you want a cig style pv then its a great choice.

You are the only person who can decide what form factor you want. If you want a cig-styled ecig, then either Vapor 4 Life or Smokelessimage are good choices. Battery life with these are really non-issues if you get the pcc, as you can be charging 1 battery while you vape with another. Whatever you decide - good luck!
