Battery seems to be draining fast

[jamesfarrell]

Got a Seigeli Vmax Mini. Running 18350 batteries in it. That's all it takes, obviously (mini).

Running a 1.5 ohm AGA T+ in it. I notice that I need 10w for a good vape with AVA BB juice. Battery fully charged = 4.1 volts. 20 hits later it's down to like 3.6 already.

Is this normal for these low mAh batteries in these devices?

Thanks

The volt indication may not be that accurate. Run it all the way down. I would think 4-8 hours depending on how you vape.

We're talking about one battery, in particular?

How old is this battery? Where did ya buy it?

IMR unprotected 18350's

I have new ones, like 3 weeks old. The voltage seems accurate. Within like 2-3 hours it was dead pretty much.

Just because they're new to you, doesn't mean they are fresh. I buy vape gear from all kinds of dealers, both large and small. But when I buy batteries, I only go with a couple places I know do a higher volume of business, and will most likely have fresh stock.

Just beware some ebay sellers with concern to batteries. I have had some issues with stale and counterfeit batteries.

Depending on brand, there should be a date code stamped somewhere on the battery and a corresponding code cipher on CPForum.

I'm also using RMS mode, rather than Mean. Currently at 3.6 volts, from 4.1. Been using it since 8am, probably 20 hits total. I did buy the new ones on ebay. no date stamped on these IMR reds that I can see. But I never buy from anyone unless their FB is 100% and they've been in business a while.
