How Many Re-Charges In Lifespan of KR808D-1 Batts?

[Trayce]

I have re-charged my KR808D1 65mm shorties about 40 times in the month I have had them, and they are only vaping for like 15-20min now before needing another re-charge. I am chain-vaping them; constantly puffing or almost constantly, but 20min ?? (and the last 5-10min they aren't putting out enough to hit right)

I believe I read somewhere the manuf rates them as having a lifespan of 300 charges, which I figured you can cut in half to be more accurate, but 40 re-charges seems really short. Can anyone tell me what the lifespan of their 808 mini or even 100s batts turned out to be?

(Meanwhile yes, I am hunting for a chain-vape device and have fresh 808s on the way which I will save for public or portable use, once I get a new e-cig.)

Welcome , although I'm not all that familiar with the 808's . 40 times in a month seems like alot . And do you leave them on the charger ?? You can drastically shorten the battery life , by doing so . Sounds like you need to get some sort of big battery type PV , and several batteries , and charger for those . SOmething that uses the 18650 batteries , will usually last all day , or in your case , maybe only half a day . I sort of chain vape , and the batteries I have , that are supposed to last for a year , only last me , 5 to 6 months , at best . So buy more batteries , vape less . Your choice . You might also consider a straight passthrough device . You can plug that into your computer , and vape without using battery power . Good Luck .

40 times in a month is barely over once a day. And a full charge only = 1 hour vaping. IAC whether I charged them 100 times in a month, or 100 times over 6 months, as far as the battery is concerned it's still the same amount of re-charges. So if it's rated for 300 re-charges, why are they no good anymore after 40? That's my question and wondered if other 808 users have experienced such a short lifespan... and I refer to the number of recharges before the battery is useless, and not the time span the user takes to expire those re-charges, which is essentially irrelevant.

And no, I never leave them on the charger. I take them off the moment they've charged. Cleaning threads and around post as instructed as well. They don't get nuthin' but love. But they aren't loving me back if this is all they've got... a 40-recharge lifespan. It's also a massive difference from "300" recharges, even considering we already know manufacturers always exaggerate claims.

Btw that was good advice and I already planned to get a chain-vape device as stated, and hope I can get one with passthrough for this reason. But I don't want a manual batt, so looking more at Zeus (upcoming) and other large auto batts, but don't know if they have passthrough yet. Seems like a lot of good auto batts are up and coming.

And darn, I'm an idiot as I can get an 808 passthrough right now as I do virtually all my vaping at my computer! Can save those fresh 808 batts I have coming for portable vaping. So thanks, Renzuli for slapping me upside the head.

Meanwhile I am still interested in the life of an 808 but I discovered ECF has an 808-specific forum so I will go read that forum for info on that. Thanks again.
