Battery Use / Cart Refills

[Lyrikal]

Wanted to say I've been using the eGo now for almost a week, loving it. Learning how to make mixes for potency and/or controlling the amount of vapours is coming along nicely and the convenience of things like drip tips are sweet. Haven't had a real smoke in about 5 days now, not needed with this thing.

So I get about 24 to 36 hrs from a full battery, or really the equivalent of about 20 smokes, assuming a real cig is about 20 puffs. Let's just say 400 clicks. For a 650 mah battery, is that about right? I heard about people using them for up to a week with normal vaping.

Second, fresh cartridges are only really good for about the first 20 to 30 puffs, then it drops to like 50-75 percent hit n vape for quite a while, until I eventually change or top it off. Am I supposed to wait until the cart is empty (almost no vape at all) before I re-fill it? Or can I keep topping it off every 25 or so puffs? Does the life of the cart have anything to do with it?

That's it for now, I think I got everything else figured out, so far

24 hours on a 650mAh battery is really good my friend, you must not be a very heavy vaper. Although I do not have any expierence with eGo batteries, a 1200mAh 18350 battery will last me a good 12 hours with a low resistance atomizer. As a general rule every 100mAh should be around one hour of vaping.

As far as the cartridges, you really should top them off more often. Waiting until they are completley empty is not necessary because you could run the risk of burning the cartridge filler or running your atomizer while it is too dry.

Keep at it! Next thing you know you will have gone a year without smoking and not even realiaze it!

Thanks... The cart problem makes so much sense when you put it that way.

Okay so I should get 6.5 hours or straight vaping, based on a 650 mah battery... And you said 24 hours is good! But when I say 24 hours, I don't mean 24 hours of consistent use, I use it a couple hours spread out during work hours, a few hours at night steadily during computer / tv time, and it will go for about a day to a day and a half, if that makes better sense of things lol. So I probably am getting like 4-6 hours when I think about it.

Also I should've added, for perspective, I go through about 1-2 ml per day I think, or about a small bottle a week, am I an average vaper? lol

Get the janty Oversized 1.8ml cartomizers.

Slight pita to fill, but last ages, no crappy hits and produce aweome draw and vapor.
