Do your batteries run out quicker when you use your Stardusts?

[austerity]

I'm running a little test today and wanted to see if anyone else was having their batteries run out sooner when using Stardusts all day.

I have two KGo batts that are a month or so old and they both tend to get anywhere from 12 to 16 hours of use, not including sleep time. (I don't vape in my sleep yet ). One seemed to be running out a little quicker than usual so I started keeping track. I've been using the Stardusts almost exclusively. With Batt 1 I got 12 hrs twice, and the Batt 2 was 8 and 9 hours. But then, on day 5, Batt 1 only got 10 hrs. So, today I used only Fluxomizers on Batt 2 all day and I just passed the 13 hour mark.

I'm going to keep testing but I was curious if anyone else has noticed this happening.

Mine are still getting the same run time. I thing because the flavor in the Stardust is just so good you are hitting it longer and more often

It is very possible and I'm thinking (hoping) it is something like that. I have to use a 510 extender with the Stardusts though so my main concern is it is somehow draining the battery quicker. I really don't want to kill my batteries within a couple months. I'm going to see if I can figure it out.

Eh... yeah. I have 2 brand new Rivas that don't get a lot of time with the Stardusts, but it doesn't bother me. I've never got great battery life out of the 650 mAh eGo style batteries when I vape on anything but an atty (or a fluxomizer). I do think that I chain vape a lot more on the stardust, so the battery does get quite a lot of use.

Well if your other carto's are standard 3ohms, then yes the Stardust will cut run time some due to them being less than 3 ohms.

There is nothing else other than more/longer draws that can have any effect.

In my case, if any thing, it works the other way. I use the 2.4-2.6 fluxos and the 2.6-2.8 fluxos. I don't have an ohm meter though, unfortunately.

I'm also using the same amount of eliquid each day, but that is one of the things I'm tracking too. The next couple of days I'm going to use the fluxos on the extender.

It is probably just that the Stardusts don't produce near as much vapor so it takes more hit time to use the same volume of liquid. It's just that a 1/3 reduction in battery time seemed pretty drastic to me.

I use the stardust on different mods with a 510/510 shorty connection & have NOT noticed a difference in battery life. I also have not noticed a decrease in vapor.........but I do vape 100% VG.

Lack of vapor is probably because it's semi flooding. Try only filling around halfway, and not tilt as often and see if that helps.
