Silly question and I feel its just most likely happening to me due to one of my cells being flat-lined on arrival. I know I did say I was able to revive the cell after 3 cycles and what have you. So my question is this does anyone's battery seem to drain at all while in idle, or not even attached to the mod itself? I'm talking a dip in about 1/3rd of life from not even being hooked up. I'm ready to just chalk it up as erratic behavior from the bad cell itself.
Not entirely surprised on his findings about this typical lipo pack that Hotcig has been dispensing out. Which is why I choose to hold off on any purchase of extra packs at this time. However I do love the device despite this issue and at the level I vape I can go for the better part of the day on a single charge, no problems at all. Since I expected it to comparable to a single 18650 alongside my 350J chip mod. Still has a ways to go before it'll ever dethrone my 350J that's for sure, but thats for another day
.
So after checking the video I decided to bring out my Velocity and check mine. I'm using a battery that's charged to 4.10 volts per cell. I would like to see how it behaves on the bottom end of the charge but mine really never gets too far down, perhaps I'll let it.
Here' a shot of mine, it fared quite well.
I made about 10 fires but this is what they all looked like.
Here is the same test on my Opus200, not as good.
Might as well show the one from my Vapecige box, the most unbalanced with the least sag. Voltage has just a bit higher to start on this one, I charge this one to 4.2 per cell.

That's right. In order to be able to use my SkyRC B6AC V2, I had to make few wires:
For HotCig DX200, I made JST XH extension cord 1:1 and Positive/Negative connectors Ø3.0mm. And for HCigar VT200, I used the same JST XH extension cord and made Positive/Negative connector cord with RJX XT30 on the end.
I think this will work great, ordered it from amazon

I removed the battery on my Vapecige box yesterday and charged it with the little RC charger that came with the DX200, it over charged to 4.28 volts per cell. Just saying. Looks like that cable will work just fine for you.I think this will work great, ordered it from amazon

So I've initiated a warranty issue as my pack is acting up again, go figure. 1/3rd of battery drained from sitting still and unhooked from chip. Made sure I've taken many pictures to show much more proof it's indeed bad. So ideally and if the planets are aligned I can just get a single replacement battery and not ship the mod back to the mothership for this.
So far the battery that mine came with has been good. The replacement battery I ordered from FT is almost here. If it's not I'll just put in a Fullymax, like I'm doing with my Vapecige. Turnigy 1300 mah for the Vapecige. I really like the Hotcig box.
Until I can get this answered for me I'm holding off on buying a replacement at this time. Kinda want to take it apart and put something else instead.
So despite my issue with the current battery I should put in an order for another? Honestly I do want to and I really don't think that price will drop anytime soon at all.
There's no way I'd pay $45 for one. I may have near that though in the end.
I'm surprised it hasn't dropped already. HotCig has overstepped big time on that pricing but I believe it is because they were not equipped to handle the volume of purchases they generated in the beginning and could not produce the cases quickly enough. If they keep price high it discourages purchase so the ones they do produce can be used on mods coming off the assembly line.
$23 & change was reasonable. $45 is nuts!
What surprises me the most is that there is only one retailer selling these. I know I may not give two shakes about GB. But at the same time I keep checking them if they do.
