Battery Life

[HarpoM]

Hi Everyone. New here.
I just received an email from EverSmoke about a warranty program. They mentioned in the email that battery life for their brand is roughly 2 to 3 months.

is this correct? Am I going to be purchasing new batteries that often?

Thanks in advance.

Wow..thats a crap shoot. The joytechs will last much much longer..... some of the knockoffs from fasttech have only lasted me as long as 2 to 3 months....some much shorter. Thats a hard question.

Are they asking you if you want to pay for an extended warranty ?

By the way..welcome to the forums !!

Most all ego batterys will last about 1 year and over 300-400 charges..many places will just warranty a battery for 2-3 months but I have never heard of any place advertising a 2-3month battery life...if so, then U surely don't want it..

I see that this nEversmoke just sells them cheap mini's, the fake looking cigs with a red tip when used....those type companies are popping up left and right and want U to join their "membership" for a expensive monthly cost...I would stay away...cancel membership and return the products if within 30 days..I initially tried these type mini's from a similar company and the batterys usually don't last 1-2 weeks and are dead every 2-3 hrs after charging

I see they do offer a http://www.eversmoke.com/customer-service/#warranty

30 day 100% money back guarantee....I'd send that stuff right back and get a refund and order Ego type ecigs from a recommended vendor here..a lil inexpensive starter kit for about $30, ego 1100a battery, some CE4's or Ce5's, and wall and USB chargers..

1 year warranty on all products if NOT a member

lifetime warranty , IF U are a member

Ego systems are much less expensive, have no monthly membership fees, and are much more effective and long lasting compared to those mini membership systems and offers..and they can be purchased at local ecig and vape stores or at many great online vendors recommended here..

Eversmoke looks like a RIFF OFF.

Looks like a rip to me too. If they can give replacements to members for life, then they have to be dirt cheap for them and, that would explain why they only last 3 months. They want you to be a member, that's where they make their money.

Return it before the 30 days is up and, get an Ego, or whatever else you think will suit you.

Since Eversmoke only sells "bottom of the barrel" models, you will be lucky to get even 2 - 3 months out of those batteries.

There are literally 100 better options than what that company sells.

From their website:

"A silicone tip is built within the mouth piece to prevent leakage. We have designed a one hole intake to provide maximum draw and further enhance the feel of smoking a traditional cigarette"

Wonder how long the design was in development phase...

Duhhuhwha????

That's pretty bad. Lithium ion batteries have a charge cycle rating of around 300. So once a day charging, I would expect to get around a year out of mine.

The warranty was 60 days but the batteries should last quite a while. Unless they're junk that is.

Though, if you're talking about "auto" batteries (no button, you fire them up by inhaling), those things can crap out easily. Any juice leaks and they short out. Which is why I stopped using them ages ago.

(Well, that and their charge capacity was about 45 minutes on a good day)

Thanks everyone for the responses. I've had the eversmoke kit now for over a month, and it is a good vape for me. I just thought it was odd they were offering a warranty for the battery. I purchased both Eversmoke and GreenSmoke from reading the ECCR reviews. So far, I've been happy, but I'm always on the lookout for the best.

I have to agree with the other posts. You are far from the best, my friend, perhaps, closer to the worst. I used those setups in 2009 and went back to smoking, myself. The old saying that the more your gear looks like a cigarette, the worse it performs is absolutely true. Personally, I'm glad they are working for you, but I need big batts, lotsa battery life, great delivery, strong juice...or I wouldn't be here on the Forum. Good luck and Best to you!

Totally agree!!! If I didn't have what Bill mentioned above I probably would have gone back to those damn analogs already. In my case, I stay away from cigs look a like a tobacco liquids, I'm paranoid of going back.

I have a handful of cig sized Smokeless Image batteries that are over two years old, and two eGo batteries I bought in late 2008 that still work well, so battery life will definitely vary. Note that these batteries were reputable brands.......though I have had good batteries die in months, too. It really is a crap shoot, and a good reason to always have a backup (and backup for your backup).

If they're low mah batts and need to be recharged 3-4 times per day then 2-3 months is about right according to the 200-300 recharges per battery. As others have mentioned far superior/ less expensive batts available BUT if you're happy with your setup it's all good.
