Cig2go Battery life?

[RogerLee]

I use the cig2go brand (kr808d-1?) and lately I noticed the battery life is getting shorter. Its taking longer to charge and once charged doesn't last long. I have 5 batteries that I rotate. Does anyone know about the life cycle of them?
Thanks,
RogerLee

cig2go is from what i remember a cig lookalike that you can get from a smoke shop or convenience store...i've no experience with them myself but I don't think they are very highly regarded here...you dont say how long you've had them but in general 808 batteries i think will give out in 6-8 months...its just part of the cost of using them

if you like the 808 form factor, smokeless image is a well regarded vendor of those here...they are probably a bit cheaper than what you are buying for the hardware

we can also teach you how to refill the cartomizers with juice and save a lot of money

hubby uses greensmokeliving 808's...so they would be similar. he had been rotating 3 batteries..2 have had to be replaced after about 2 months of use. he has been vaping 4 months...so yes, the batteries are weak and eventually disposable. welcome to ecf.

 

[RogerLee]

Thank you. I had these batteries for about 4-5 months now.

 

[RogerLee]

Thank you. I really like these. The batteries at my local indian smoke shop is $20 for the battery, 2 cartomizers and an usb charge. the battery by it self is more, $25.
I just started refilling them monday and now better taste and ALOT cheaper.

How much are you paying for them? My smoke shop has the battery and 2 cartos for like 12.99. If you have to replace them maybe you should think about trying the Ego twist or vision spinner batteries (different threading than your current batts) or also halo e cigs has the titan batteries (same threading as your current batteries) that will hold a way longer charge then the cig 2os. I also started with the cig 2o brand but got tired of charging constantly so I bought a larger mod (Provari) and now I only have to change batteries every other day.

Dana,
Its $19.99 for the battery, 2 carts and usb charger.

 

[Dana A]

That's the same thing we have here for 12.99. They used to be 20.00. Do you think you could stand to go a little bigger? Ego twists and spinners have a nob at the bottom that you can turn the voltage up and down with. They have different threading than the cartomizers you have now though so you would need a whole new set up. It really would function a lot better than the cig sized ones though.

People have been saying this is a good kit. http://www.myvaporstore.com/Vision_Spinner_Joye_Ego_C_Twist_Combo_p/vvs-c.htm

The lithium battery's in most e-cigs are rated for 300 charge's. This is just a ball park figure, and is effected by a lot of factors. Such as battery quality, charger quality exc. You can blow through this pretty fast with small battery's that get charged several times a day. That is one of the reason I chose to start out with a larger ego style battery. Larger capacity = fewer charges.

 

[Dana A]

Hugh is right. 300 really does go by fast. The batteries have a milliamp hour rating or MAH rating. Each 100 MAH is said to be 1 hour of run time. I think your cig 2o batteries may be 180 mah. The batteries I recommended are 650 mah up to 1300 mah. If you see a post by a member named badattitude you can click on his signature and check out a lot of great info. I am not sure how to link you to it. Hope this helps.

Understand that with all PV batteries it's detrimental to the lifespan of the battery to continually fully drain them. They say these batts are good for about 250-300 recharges BUT that's stretching it and only under optimum conditions. I've got some batteries from over a year ago and because I try to not allow full discharge- they charge and fire as good as the day I bought them.

 

[RogerLee]

Thanks Y'all... going to check the bigger mah batteries out.

You're welcome. If thinking about a non variable volt eGo class PV you may want to look at the Kgo- fires @ 3.7 volts and costs about $43.00 for a starter kit. Here's a review

Does anyone make a PCC for the kgo batteries? Friend I will order the starter kit with a third battery.

No as the Kgo are 1100 mah. 100 mah= 1 hour normal vaping before recharge is needed. The next step up would be a 1300 mah VV Spinner PV- fires from 3.2- 4.8 volts. I own two Spinners.

I'm been a heavy smoker and now vaping heavy. Im still learning about the newer pv and still dont fully understand the need for the adjustable voltage. I been using the cig2go stuff for alittle over year and just two weeks ago found this site and about refilling the cartomizers. On some things, Im a slow learner
