eVic 3400 mah battery question

[Yiorgos]

Hi,

I had ordered yesterday a 3400mah battery for my eVic form the official joyetech distributor in the UK (joyetech.co.uk), which just arrived. It looks like it's the bare cell/unprotected green panasonic NCR18650B. It measures 64-64mm in lenght.

Weren't these supposed to be protected versions? Anyone else with a similar experience?

Thanks.

eVic uses unprotected 18650 with the original battery tube. The eVic itself provides you with the protection you need AFAIK.
Protected batteries would add another 15 mm to the length.

 

[crxess]

All protection is built into the eVic.

He means 1.5mm
No 18650's are 80MM
64mm-68mm avg.

How long does that battery last you before needing to be charged Yiorgos? I have been thinking about getting one for my Zmax.

Thanks for the replies guys.

Madstabber, I only received it today so I haven't had the chance to run a full day with it. I'll charge it overnight, try it tomorrow and will let you know.

Thanks brother I would appreciate it.

It's weird, I have found that the stock 2600mah battery (pink Samsung) lasts longer than the 3400mah (green Panasonic) from Joye.
After a normal day, ill go to bed with ~45% left on the 2600 and ~20% left on the 3400. That's with the correct settings in the battery menu. Huh?
I can only assume there's a problem with the battery life monitoring part of the 1.2 firmware.
Anyone else noticed this?

i have the 3400 mah panasonic (green). i get a two days out of it on my evic vaping at around 8 watts. the evic battery monitor has always been a little supsect to me, especially, when it gets in the lower % (i've already adjusted the battery settings for specific mah of particular battery) and its till not accurate when the battery drains down into the lower percentages. I think its a software issue. but ya, none the less, a little annoying. gl.

I have had phenomenally good life with my green 3400. I got mine in a CoOp here for I think 8 bucks. Generally, I get 2+ days from mine. I vape about 8 mils a day +/- 1 mil. My pink 2600 and my red 2600 do a good day and a half. Maybe you got a bad 3400? Anyone else used these, and what kind of life are you getting from your 3400 folks?

I also get pretty darn good info from my meter thing on my eVic as long as I set it according to the battery I am using.

Gotta say that I expected more out of the 3400 Panny battery. Also reckon the 2600 pink bat lasts a bit longer. I'll test them at charge time for voltage.
