battery question with eVic

[Pazazu]

I have a question about these batteries. I'm a bit new with these types of batteries so bear with me here. Anyway, I seem to be needing to recharge my battery about 2 times a day lately with the standard 2600 mah battery that comes with the eVic. I do kinda chain vape, I get about 800 puffs per day on this thing, but it seems a little low with this battery. Is it time to replace the battery, or do I just need to upgrade to the 3400 mah battery? I honestly have no clue how to know when to throw these batteries away, and I don't have a multimeter to test the charge on them. Anyone mind to lend a hand?

hi Pazazu, it is quite easy to know --- just buy another one and then compare normally such battery can stand over 400 charging-recharging cycles, but who knows which cycle it is? besides, it is also necessary to have a backup.

Well technically this is a brand new battery and I do have another that I've never used. I was just wondering if this is pretty normal, about 400 puffs then recharge. I've been recharging mine every time it hits about 40 percent. It does feel like the controller head gets a little warm during the charge, not hot, but warm enough hat you can feel it.

Its a redundant question I'm sure, but like I said I'm new to using Li-ion batteries, and want to make sure I use them in a non dangerous way. I really don't know the warning signs to look out for other than the mod getting really hot, and by then it may be a little late lol.

The reason I'm worried is that I hear other say, oh yeah this battery lasts all day long, and mine is simply not even lasting half the day. I'll try the other battery though too, and the company I got this form is definitely not top notch so selling a crap battery is nto above them.
