eVic 18350 battery life

[fogmachineroy]

Pretty sure protected 18350's won't fit. In any case, protected Li-ion's don't work well in single battery VV mods because the batteries protection circuit kicks in before the batteries useful charge is depleted due to the draw of the boost circuit. Same reason Provape recommends IMR batteries because the Provari gets wonky at higher voltages unless it has a high drain battery in it. I'm also quite sure this is why Joye limits the Evic to 11w so it can use longer life Li ion 18650's.

I only get several hours out of a 18350. Yes, I vape way to much lol. Personally, I rather carry a plastic battery box with 2 couple of spares in my pocket rather than haul a big honking 18650 tube around. Battery box has simply taken up residence where my Zippo used to reside.

I hear ya, I only get about 4-6 hours of heavy vaping with 18350 imr 800mah batteries, and I am starting to think that I need more batteries. I think I am about to order Efest Protected Li-ion 18350 900 mah batteries real soon. Oh BTW does anyone know if the flat tops will work in the innokin SVD and natural too?

Quick question
Can I charge the 18350 in the evic through the USB cable or do I need to take it out and charge it on an external charger?
Thanks!

Bucky, I read somewhere on here that you can, but I always charge batteries on an external charger. I rotate batteries that way.

Yes you can charge them via the usb port on the eVic, I currently don't have any other charger but the usb cable.

Well, after 2 weeks, I'm loving my 18350 setup.
I have one eVic in full mode for home and carry the 18350 Evic for work. Only allowed to use on breaks(2) and lunch. Works great and has enough left for the trip home. Swap batts and ready to go for the next day.

My evic with the 800ma efest 18350 runs out faster than my ego twist 600ma

That can happen, but evic is good generally I think!

18650 is ugly and big.
18350 is nice , small and pocket-friendly.

I wrapped the 18650 original tube with carbon fiber wrap and it looks ok. (battery last a looooong time.... btw) I also rock the black 18350 tube vaping at 8.5 - 10.5 watts last about 4hrs give and take

The Kir Fanis tubes look fantastic in 18350 mode.

There's a slight gap between the control head and tubes, living with it though.
I love my Provari but since I got these tubes it hasn't had much of a look in - the lower voltage of the Evic doesn't matter at all when you don't ever go above 4.8 volts and you use standard resistance.

The quality of the vape on the Evic matches the Provari right up to the cut off point and it's way superior than the last lot of 33.3hz "rattlesnake" Chinese mods.

So... Would you guys recommend a Efest IMR 18350 800 mah flattop or button top for the 18350 tube for the eVic? Still unsure which one to buy.

 

[cool breeze]

I recommend the Efest flat top (V1). That's what I use in my eVic 18350 tubes.

If you think that you might upgrade to a ProVari one day, go with the button tops. Otherwise, it's a wash, IMHO.

Hi

I get around 4 hours (medium vaping), with between 3.7 to 4v.

I am using AW 18350, 700 mah battery.

Cheers
