Crap for battery life

[bigdaddybrink1]

I've gotta Smoktech Zmax series mod, and I'm using, Efest 200mAh IMR 18650 3.7v Li-Mn V2 batteries. Well, one at a time. I'm running bout, 110-120 watts, but I'm lucky if I get 12 hours out of it. I've only had this setup for a month and this seems like the battery is diein out way to early. I wait until it's dead before I charge it, but the other one I have lasts like a day and a half. Is that normal? I'm just wondering cause the people I bought them from are known to sell crap knockoffs. I wont name names, but I'm starting to get really pi55ed off. PLEASE HELP!!!

correctiong, 2000mAh, and 11-12 watts.

Don't wait till its dead!!!!.
You have overdischarged the battery.
I'm afraid you'll have to buy another.

Well i guess not dead, but the led flashes lou.....

Well, technically it's gone.
But it's still providing a very small amount of power.

Thnx for the heads up.

I'm sure you mean 2000mAh and not 200mAh. Also am sure it's 11-12 watts and not 110-120 watts or you won't be able to type this post.

Other than that, 12 hours use is normal, usage is mostly dependent on how heavy you vape.

yea, i was on my phone, and tryin eat dinner. sorry ya'll. imma edit the post....

edited the first posting, and I vape pretty much all of that 12 hours, cause I love to vape. I was thinking about tryin to make my daughters nebulizer into a PV, but I'm sure that would NOT work very well, or would it?!?!??! With the breathing mask........

If you vape a lot, 12 hours is pretty good. I get 10 - 12 hours off of my Panasonic 18650 batts.

 

[bigdaddybrink1]

Well, looks like I may have to order some backup backup batteries....... Thank all.

I was thinking I wish i got 12 hours out of my batteries. It really does depend on how much you vape. I vape very heavy and get maybe 10 hours out of a battery. I just can't seem to put it down.

 

[bigdaddybrink1]

See, that's so funny everyone keeps sayin 10-12 hours, that's what I'm gettin. The guys at the vape shop I gottem from said they get 2 days!??! They must either A. vape very little, or B. were tryin to make a sale, or C. Dont have a figgin clue ... they're talking about!!!!

prob a little of a 3 lol. My friend has a z max and he gets better life out of the 2 18350's than the single 18650. I'm not crazy about stacking but it does seem to operate better and longer on the dual batt's. jmo

I'm not big on the idea either, but maybe it's worth a shot.............

Use the 18650 to vape on ohms setting and the dual 18350 on the Watts setting also make sure you use high drain imr batters..that should give you almost a full day of vaping even if you vape every couple of minutes like I do....lol it also depends on the batterys quality. I get a better vape and longer batt life on the watts setting with the dual 18350

Please refrain from giving battery advice ever again. You are wrong on all counts and your advice may cause people to waste thier hard earned money.

Bigdaddy, vaping at 11-12 watts is going to cause you to burn through a battery charge much faster that the average persons 6-8 watts. 12 hours is par for the course for high wattage.

There is nothing wrong with running the batteries down to the mods low voltage cutoff. 3.3v is well above the minimum safe voltage for IMR batteries (2.5v).

What Rader said. I vape my Zmax at 8 watts 2.6 to 3 ohm Viva nova with an 18650 and get 10 to 12 hours. I am a heavy vaper. 2 18350s only give me maybe 2 more hours. I run them down till I get LOU and charge I am using high drain efest 2000mAh batts.
