Bigger Battery, Bigger Hit?

[FredK]

I use the standard 510 battery and the extended life 510 battery. I now realize that with the extended life battery I seem to get better hits and more satisfaction. Is this common?

I'm thinking of buying an ego battery to see if I get an even better hit.

Fred--
You are absolutely right. Get an ego, riva or hello battery and you will get an even better hit. Combine one of those three with an lr atty and it gets even better. You will love it!

I noticed a bigger hit also. I now have my fav battery my kids call it my cigar. Won't they be surprised when I actually order the e-cigar I want.

Yup, I just got a Hello 016 from Litecig: Hello-016 last week and it's an all day battery. I charge it when I go to bed and use it throughout the next day. 1300mah is enough battery for me .

I have been telling my auto loving hubby to try my mega manual fo a month now but noooo he says he aint pushin' a button it looks foofy. But guess what his auto up and died today haha he says "I need a battery" so I gave him the mega manual about 10 min later he comes in and says "I get a better hit with these" I said "I told you so" I think I just converted my big bad man into a foofy button pusher.

I couldnt tell a major diff in hits by changing batteries.. ill have to pay more attention to it now.

The larger the battery the more consistent the hits are over time. Since batteries discharge over a curve. The more battery you have the more gradual the curve and consistent hits or "sweet spot".

I use a BB with 900 mah 14500 batteries. I get the same hit over a long period of time maybe 4-6 hours before I notice any drop off and swap to a fresh one. When I used 510 or mega 510 batts they drop off a cliff rather quickly and the hits less satisfying. I then moved to a eGo battery which was much better but those units have quality issues and button issues. Which is why I moved to a battery mod.

Been thinking about moving to a 18650 battery mod so I can vape all day on a single battery without any drop off. I use 2 to 3 14500's a day. So one 18650 should be a nice all day battery. I like most people who began with vaping started with smaller designs but vaping is asking too much of those small batteries. I got over that really fast and bigger better performing mod is what I use now.

Also helps that those 14500's cost me about $5 or $6 for 2 of them. Saving money is always nice. They also work in some led flashlights I have so dual purpose. I bought 8 batts. about 6 months ago and all of them still going strong.

If I had it to do all over again I would have skipped all small proprietary battery designs and went straight to a battery mod. Could have saved a 2-3 hundred dollars I spent experimenting with small batteries. Which would have been enough money to buy several nice mods. Ah well hindsight is 20/20.

Forgive me newness, will an ego battery 900mah like I see on electronicstix web site work on my Joye510? I don't want to purchase something and then go oops.

I have a mega battery and I think it is somethign like 250mah.

Thanks

Ru42--

You're where I was about 4 months ago.

Yes, all you need is one eGo battery, but you also need an eGo charger. USB ones are OK.

I would also get an eGo cone for 3 or 4 dollars.Looks much nicer and makes the vapor nicer.

These will work with 510 atty's and carts.

If you like this, then get a LR atty and try that. That is the BIG improvement.

Of course, in the end, you'll need another eGo battery for use when charging the other one. You only need one cone.

Air flow could also have something to do with it, especially with auto (wind activated) batts. Aside form all the various liquid and equipment properties which affect it, perfect vapor is a proper balance of heat, moisture, and air flow, the right mixture results in the ideal outcome just about the way a car's intake manifold and combustion chamber works. Fine tuning a carburetor can improve performance just like tweaking an atty can. If any physical difference in the connections between atty and batt apply more precise air flow to the 'perfect vapor equation', this can make one batt perform better than another. I had an XL Evo batt that did not work as well as a standard one for this reason, having a wind operated switch really complicated things further and resulted in inconsistency from batt to batt.

Larger batts can also make a difference, particularly when they can better handle the amperage pulled from a 510 atty. I think Scot EE's explanation of the power drain curve plays a big roll here. 10440's are a good example of Li-Ion batts that can have deplorably fast but drawn out drop in power and result in some slow suffering.

I got a Hello 016 battery, it's ridiculous (in a good way). I get awesome TH and I feel it in my lungs. I've been vaping 24mg RY4 and it kicks my .....
