How Low should I run my Sony VTC4 30A Battery (18650)

[LEDBETTER122]

I just recently (Yesterday) got my first mechanical mod, and I bought 2 Sony VTC4 2100 Mah 30A batteries. I wanting to know how low can I run the voltage before it is considered "Dead".

To be safe I was going to run it down to 3.4V before I swapped (checking voltage every hour).

Im using 3.4V as a cut-off becuase my Vamo wont fire if the battery isn't above 3.2V

3.4 is good, you should be able to go down to 3 without endangering the battery. However, if you build your coil properly so that it provides the vapour and flavour you want on a fully charged battery you'll probably notice enough of a drop at 3.7 or 3.6v and to change it out by then.

Bump,


I usually just go till around 3.7 or 3.6 roughly. I still get about 2 days of vaping on one battery. Curious to hear other opinions.

Lol that's the problem this thing was still kicking out massive clouds at 3.5V, I noticed no big drop

Yeah, I think the bigger amp limit helps. The device has more room to pull out power with the 30 amp limit. Correct me if Im wrong?

Either way I'm going to keep checking my batteries so I don't go below 3.4V. I don't want to be the guy posting a thread about how my battery exploded.

You should as you get more used to it. Measure the voltage periodically to make sure you don't drop too low and you should be fine

If you start to feel the performance drop off, change the battery. If it runs completely dead, never charge or use it again
