Could a larger capacity battery fry an atty?

[Sludge Van Diesel]

For the last week I've been cheerfully vaping away on a Joyetech Cubis Pro Mini tank with 1.5Ω atty, sitting atop of a 1100mAh Battery. Today I got a 2600mAh Battery & put the tank on that.

Within an hour or so of use, the atty that has been fine all week suddenly tasted very burnt very quickly. Tasted really acrid like an electrical fire. I changed the atty & 6 hours later the same thing. Have I unknowingly cocked up on my battery choice, or is there a possibility that there is something wrong with the battery? Am I right in thinking mAh is to do with storage capacity of the battery, or does it affect the output as well?

I can't help feeling I've made a rookie mistake.

mah is storage capacity. It sounds like there's a difference in voltage output between the two batteries. Were these both ego type batteries? You'd have to find the specs of your specific batteries to see what their voltage is.

I linked to them in my original post. They are in the same series (iJust 2) & AFAIK the same output. I'll do some digging for full specs.

Both are eleaf Ijust2 one mini 1100mah, one standard/full size 2600mah - same output.

Are you using the same resistance head when replacing them?
Or, using a temp control only replacement head?

sorry, didn't see the links the first time. From the limited specs on the site it would seem both act somewhat like a mech in that they start at at the voltage of a full charge, usually 4.2v and then run down as the batteries drain. The output shouldn't be different between them, just the running time.

Any chance you just got a little excited with the new battery and chain vaped a bit harder than you usually do?

@Topwater Elvis the atty has been fine all week & the new one was out of the same pack. I'm not 100% up on the ins & outs of different coils etc, but I thought I'd got suitable for the tank & battery. Maybe that's where I'm going wrong & I've just been lucky the rest of the week. It's the 1.5Ω LVC Clapton in the link above

@Lessifer That's what I thought regarding the charge. If anything I've been quite restrained & TBH this tastes nothing like any dry atty I've ever experienced. The last time I smelled something like this tastes my friends daughter's Furby had just spontaneously combusted due to an electrical fault.

New or different e liquid?
The 1.5Ω should work fine, are you thoroughly priming the new / unused heads?

As Lessifer said, both batteries put out battery voltage so there should not be any significant power difference at the same resistance. Yes, mAh is completely about battery capacity not power output, but a higher rated mAh may make a bit more power because of less voltage drop under load. Keep in mind too, as the battery's voltage drops the power output will drop as per ohm's law just like with a mechanical mod.

Not sure but I believe there are 1.5 ohm and 0.5 ohm heads. Maybe double check that you're still running the same 1.5 ohm. Also make sure you get the new heads fully primed before you start using them so they doesn't wear out early.

That's all I've got. Good luck with it!

Same liquid as before. Primed & left for 20 minutes. The first to burn (after an hour on the new battery) has been in use since last Saturday, so just over a week, the second went within 6 hours. The only variable is the new bigger capacity battery. No issues with the smaller one.

There are indeed & these are definitely the 1.5. I have the pack in my hand.

The first one had been in use for just over a week, the second was primed & then left in a full tank for 20 minutes before use.

I feel like a noob again.

 

[Topwater Elvis]

I didn't get along with and am not a fan of the cubis especially using the 1.5Ω heads, I found the .5Ω slightly better but still struggled with wicking problems even using my normal 50/50 pg/vg.

Sorry I couldn't be any help, hopefully someone that has been successful with the cubis will be along soon.

Well you're covering all the bases

The 1.5 ohm heads will be putting out about 10 watts with a reasonably fresh battery. That should not hurt the head in any way. Sometimes these heads are just not always the best, or consistent. That's one reason I use rebuildables. OTOH, authentic heads are pretty good these days. Maybe someone who has more experience with the ones you use will pipe in with better info on them.

ETA: LOL, Topwater Elvis got there before I posted

 

[Sludge Van Diesel]

Thanks folks. It just seems odd to me that they both decided to do it with a new battery.

 

[Topwater Elvis]

The manufacturer recommended watt range for the 1.5Ω head is 8w - 20w.
Like Ryedan said, with a fresh charge it's getting 10ish watts, maximum possible 11.7w and that would be in a perfect world.

Just throwing stuff out to see if anything sticks at this point;
510 connection points & threads clean, dry & shiny?
If you have a dvom you can measure V from the newer ijust battery. ground probe to outside of 510, positive probe on center pin, press button. if that makes sense, can't figure how to splain it better.
If it shows over 4.2v there is an internal problem.

So definitely compatible?

As new

I don't even know what one of those is, let alone own one.

EDIT: I might know somebody who does. By outside of 510 do you mean the thread, the flat bit, what?

Do you have a multimeter or a mod that checks resistance so that you can verify the actual resistance of the atomizer head? I know it says 1.5, but ship happens, you know?

 

[Bunnykiller]

ummmm no... will a larger gas tank in your car ruin your engine??

I don't, but it seems unlikely, as the first one worked fine for a week & a half. The battery is normally paired with a tank that takes attys from 0.18 to 0.75, could this affect the way it treats the 1.5 atty?

Possibly, it takes diesel not gas.

 

[Bunnykiller]

well in that case... your engine wouldnt even start

I once had an issue where one of my mods 510 pin , if pushed in far enough, would kind of short . I had a tank that was fine on another mod, but when I used it on the problem mod, I would get this short, which seemed like a massive increase in power, and fry my cotton. When I looked at this tank I did notice that it's 510 pin was a bit longer then all my other tanks pins. I was able to adjust that pin in slightly and never had an issue again. I guess that little longer pin had pushed the mods pin in further than it should, which caused the issue
