Hi guys! I have a small problem with my r-steam mini. I use it with my tfv4 nano and everything works beatifully but when i throw my doge v1 on top of it the battery drains out much quicker. The doge doesnt drain batterys on my nemesis so why does it do this with the r-steam? Any help is welcome! My batteries are a lg 3000mah 20a and the sony vtc 4.

I might regret asking when I an fully awake, but why would two different resistances NOT yield different battery drain times?

With regulated vw, you control the wattage output and the cells never see the coils, with un-regulated you control the wattage output by the ohm ( build ) of the coils Battery drain
A .18 on a neme would seriously be stressing an lg hg2 ............. Ohm's law

The tfv4 is reading at .27 ohms and my doge is reading at .18. And the battery draining is not normal due to my friends vaping with the same mod at these low ohms.

Just read what you added.
No way in the World to Calculate what your mod is doing compared to someone else Mod in use in their hand and with their Battery/RDA/Build.
Did you take 10 draws, but they took 12?
Do you hit it for 6 seconds and they pull for 10 or more?

Hope you figure it out, but don't really think you have a problem.

What gauge wire is in the Doge to get to that resistance, and type? Where say the TFV4 coil head is using say 24awg straight wire kanthal, and theoretically you are using 20awg or even 22awg wire, possibly something a bit more exotic like 24awg/32awg fused claptons in the Doge, the amount of wire mass in the Doge is going to pull a lot more drain for ramp up. There are so many variables that can affect this, I am just lobbing hypotheticals to guess at the problem. Another thing that could be playing a factor, stating you are only getting 10minutes vape time, how old exactly are these batteries (example if the LG HG2's are say 9months old and the VTC4's are say a month old, the VTC4 is going to run longer, the LG HG2's if been abused heavily or used heavily are no longer 3000mah 20amp CDR batteries, they could potentially only be 1500mah 10amp CDR batteries at this point).

Though also I am of the stand point, you really shouldn't be below 0.2ohms on anything other than a Nickel Ni200 coil on a TC mod, 0.18ohms is really red lining your VTC4's, the LG HG2's, pfft, can't even handle that, 0.14ohms = 30amps CDR only 4 batteries can truly handle that, Sony VTC3, and LG HB2, HB4, HB6's, VTC4's can be nudged to do it but not suggested, even then 0.25 to 0.3 would be what I would suggest to run. Running that as your daily on a mech Nemesis, there in would be the reason one battery isn't staying charged as long as it should, you have cooked it and made it into a clunker of a car the needs a quart of oil every day just to run, and a hazard to run it even on the most simplest of tootle puffing mouth to lung builds (1.2ohm and higher).
