Ok this first question I wanna ask is if anyone knows any other lipo batteries that is 1500 mah 3s or higher that will fit in the box around the same size 70/30/20mm? And the second question is there any trick or tips how to make the battery last longer, with escribe or ANYTNING? I already did the 1300mah update and in still only getting like 6-8 hours of heavy vaping at 100-105watts

You have 3 options.

1 Build more energy efficient coils
2 Buy a mod with a higher Watt hour rating
3 Buy a second mod and spread the vaping load.

Lower the watts raise the resistance for more battery life.

The Lipo battery it comes with is about as good as it gets.
6-8 hours of heavy vaping at 100-105watts is very good battery life all things considered.

Education is good................:)

Can't fight physics, so work with it. ;)
Pretty much all the above, and to answer your question about the 1500 3S pack, I did a little digging around a while ago and I think even the smallest is still too big to fit those dimensions. How about picking up a spare LiPo pack and a charger and taking a spare with you, or is it too much of a pain to swap batts in an Efusion box?

You don't want to be hot swapping lipos like they're 18650s furthermore you don't want to be walking around with a stick of dynamite in your pants. A 3 cell lipo has the potencial to burn down a house in your pants with heat a fully charged cell has the potential to easily kill you. When we carry lipos out to the field for other hobbies we use ammo boxes and ALWAYS make sure we don't leave them inside hot enviorments like inside the car on a hot day or your pocket.

OP: Change the build or change the mod, if you like the DNA 200 I'd recommend a triple 18650 such as the Wismec model. This will give you up to 2 and a half days of moderate use. Or you could change the way you vape, this is the very reason I don't like lipo DNA 200s they can be made to have good battery life but only if you use a custom battery, the commercial ones available all have limited battery life with the exception of the 18650 models that can be swapped and a few off models but they're huge in size.

Ah, I see - however, not to pick nits, but isn't that what we're already potentially doing (walking around with a stick of dynamite in our pants) simply by carrying a DNA200 with a LiPo?
Not being argumentative, just ?
On a related note, isn't there a DNA200 mod that has swappable battery modules?
Edit: Found it. The Hotcig DX200.

Yes, but one is more aggressive than the other instead of blowing out a few teeth you could potentially do this:




Also 18650s are alot more stable than lipos and can be safely put in a plastic case and carried around like a set of keys, while rubbing lipos against your jeans is a VERY bad idea and they don't make cases for them because they shouldn't be transported in your pocket to begin with.

The DX 200 uses a lipo while it is inside an enclosure it's still a bad idea. Again, do NOT carry around lipos like they're chewing gum, it could have very serious consequences, they can do ALOT more damage than an 18650. Also the DX200 battery has exposed positive and negative terminals should something metalic make a short in your pocket good bye manhood.

All it takes is a set of keys touching both terminals at the same time. You'd also have a good chance of damaging the balance port in your pocket which could also be bad, at best it would destroy the battery.

Thanks for taking the time to answer, I appreciate it.

It's easier, cheaper & SAFER just buying another DNA 200 mod since the one you have already has one of the larger lipo packs. With that being said, Lost Vape is releasing the Efusion Duo this week. It is a dual 18650 DNA 200 mod with a removable dual 18650 battery tray that can also run that same large lipo pack, It's not much larger than the Mini I just purchased but will give you the ability to hot swap 18650's if you desire.
