The mini is a bit higher and a bit slimmer compared to the VS DNA not much in it with the shark skin on. The rDNA is massive compared to both
I appreciate the reply. Wasn't sure if it was something for me to worry about. When I ordered my istick one of the reasons was the battery life everyone was raving about. I only got 8 hrs max most the time running at about 8 to 9 watts avg. Everyone else was stating days. Just don't want to feel like I got the short end of the stick again no pun intended.Mine fills all the way up when it says "battery fully charged", but after one or two hits it shaves off the top of the display, using either an LG HE4 or HE2. So, that small gap in your picture could be anything from 0.01% drained to 10% drained. Near as I can tell, it reads in 10% increments all the way down to empty, and ticks the indicator down from the top of that 10% band.
So it's pessimistic, which I'd prefer to optimistic.
Though on ALL of these regulated mods, I'd much rather see a regular percentage displayed in numerics rather than a "fuzzy" graphic.
It is a bit of a difficult challenge for the chip makers to make the indicator accurate beyond knowing when it's fully charged and when it's too low to fire, since these things accept a wide range of capacities, have to deal with wear from charge cycles, and a wildly varying rate of discharge based on the user. Hell, even modern smartphones with tons of processing power and (generally) known battery sizes have a hard time being accurate beyond "full and too low to run".
