Battery Life

[dj lunchbox]

Ok so I think it's time to step my batteries up.

I'm currently running MNKE 18650 1500MAH batteries and I'm noticing I get just about 2 hours MAYBE 2.5 of vaping. My setup is a dual coil IGO-W at about .3 OHMS on a SS Panzer mod. I also have a black panzer with copper contacts (the stainless has brass) which seems to last maybe 2 hours. Does Copper cause more of a battery drain?

I had to switch back to my RSST running a single coil and I get about 4 hours of vaping. It wouldn't be a problem if each battery didn't take 8 hours to charge. I know I need to step my charger game up cuz I currently have one of those hella cheap ones they give you in K100 vape kits but still is this normal for MNKEs?

I was thinking of going to VTC4 or 5s.

at .3 ohms with 1500mAh it would depend on how frequently you vape but if your hitting it pretty good I can see that battery only giving a couple hours of good vape time Try the Sony VTC5 2600mAh should give better vape time. I use the VTC4 and 5 and love them

Yeah I think it's time for you to upgrade to some higher mah batteries. I use sony vtc5s at ~.2 and rotate 2 pretty frequently, rarely ending up with no battery to use at the time. Although the more I vape and the more I am getting into cloud chasing the more frequently I go through batteries so I got 2 more vtc5s on the way for when I get my next mod (likely XXIX if I get in on the next pre-order) so i can be sure to always have a fully charged battery ready to go. I'm also looking into the LUC chargers (currently use a nitecore) as they are more adjustable and can rapid charge batteries or trickle charge them depending on what you need.
