Evic battery help

[Veezy]

Hey all So I've had my evic for about 1 month now and I noticed my Battery drains alot faster compared to the first 2 weeks I had it. Im hoping to get an answer for my question which is. my vapor production seems to not be the same(alot less) my battery is fully charged but drains quickly is Having less vapor the result of a battery which is dying? I ordered the panasonic ncr18650 3400 mah and can you please give me tips on how and when to charge it. and since my original samsung battery is still new can I bring it back to life? Thanks guys!

eVic meter works well to monitor the Battery and eVic will stop firing before allowing the battery to drop below safe limits.
Sounds like you just got unlucky with the first Battery. Mine still acts like new, but they can go limp at any time.

I normally swap/recharge around 20-25% on the monitor so it doesn't take so long.

Are you on the most current firmware?

Make sure your settings for battery, matches the battery you are using

You need to charge it well before it shows 10% battery left

cool thanks for the help ill check my settings. and also if my battery isnt good does that effect the vapor production?

 

[KraKsX]

It really 'shouldnt' in a device like this. (Could though, I guess)

Do you clean your connector? You might have juice on it, making the connection poor.

A battery dying is just never at full hold. And won't last as long as a new battery.

Just sucks because I literally just got it a month ago and I can say I did overcharge it no more than 6 times only because i fell asleep and forgot to take it off charge. but these batteries have a good rep and it boggles my mind that it already started to crap on me

 

[Veezy]

yes i frequently wipe the connector and it wipes off a grey/blackish dirt

 

[KraKsX]

You can't over charge the battery (using the eVic to charge)... While charging, if it stays at 100% to long, it will start using the battery (percent drops to around 95%) then it will charge it up to 100% again

 

[KraKsX]

Lol, gray/ blackish dirt! Haha, clean it more often... It's just juice getting burnt on the connector. If you keep it clean that shouldnt be the issue either... Could just be the dead battery, I mean where this stuff comes from, quality control is low, and 'bad' batteries happen... The good thing with APVs they can be replaced without spending a ton of money.

You are on firmware 1.2 right?

 

[Veezy]

thats good to know would it be maybe I would put it to charge when it dropped to around 60%?

 

[Veezy]

Yeah im convinced the battery is not good. I ordred the panasonic 3400mah so hope that solves my problem

Not really, things like these. And batteries like these, doesnt matter, so many fail safes... It's hard to mess it up, even if you tried. It's better not to rely on fail safes. But seems so far, you are not doing anything wrong.

Try cleaning the connector with some HIGH proof vodka or everclear (rubbing alcohol works too)... Clean the delivery device.

Have you tried a new delivery device? as that's whats prob causing your lack of vapor

 

[KraKsX]

Also, while 'troubleshooting'... You might as well check to make sure it's not one of the recall ones.

ahh Thanks for the tips. I usually just use a q-tip to clean it out. Ill use alcohol right now to clean it up. and my delivery device is a smoktech Udct tank. it might or might not be the device because both of them are performing the same and just to make sure it wasnt the device I put in a new carto and its a hit or miss with both of the tanks sometimes ill get a nice draw and sometimes not that great. and as for the recall ill have to check but mine came with the 1.1 firmware so im sure it was after the december batch. I hate my udct tank btw..I made did my research and people say the vapor production and the taste is superb..but my mini vivi nova blew out clouds and great taste and my dual coil tank kind of muted the flavor and the vapor was ehhhh

Hey all So I've had my evic for about 1 month now and I noticed my Battery drains alot faster compared to the first 2 weeks I had it.

Did you change the load?

If I were to change an RBAs 32ga coil to 30ga the battery would drain faster.

Im just using a Smoktech UDCT 2ohm Dual coil cartomizer

Im just using a Smoktech UDCT 2ohm Dual coil cartomizer

Duel coil = needs more power

Duel coil = needs more power

guess i got to pick up a single coil...but my dual coils were working just fine not incredible but alot better than this morning

He.s right, Veezy. Switching from a Mini Vivi Nova to a Smoktech UDCT 2ohm Dual coil cartomizer is like swapping the light in your flashlight from a standard MagLight bulb to a Coast Guard grade fog lamp...

You've at least doubled the load on your battery with a dual-coil device, and that would DEFINITELY reduce your battery's life on a charge...
