Innokin itaste hunter battery life help

[craigg1986]

Hi everyone,

I've bought an innokin itaste hunter as a replacement to my coolfire iv tc100 - i've had to invest in new batteries as well as a nitecore recharger.

I'm having serious issues with the battery life - i get about 20 minutes of use out of this mod before needing a recharge. I took the batteries back to the shop and got those replaced, no difference, i then returned the mod and got a replacement - again no difference.

Whats going on, what am i doing wrong here?

Help is much appreciated!

I have a Hunter and seem to get GREAT battery life
I get the biggest part of a day at least, out of mine...

I've been rollin' about 25w/310° on a .6Ω SS coil
then switch it up to like 10w-13w on occasion...

Tell me about it! I'm new to the battery game as the coolfire is all internal.

This is what my battery says:

18650 2100mAh 3.7v I think it's Sony also if that helps.

The tank I'm using is an aspire cleito with .6 coils.

Does this help?

I'm also vaping at about 55-65 wattage

OK, I was goofin with the 70w

that would be your problem with battery life...
if you are vaping that high of power you probably should be running a ' dual battery ' unit
60w-70w is pushing the edge of the SINGLE 18650 limit

or maybe a "26650" battery device...

​

 

[craigg1986]

Sorry my other response is yet to post as moderators have to review but the battery I'm using is a Sony 2100aMh 3.7v. And a clieto tank which is .6 SS coils.. is that helpful?

So I imagine I'll have to change tanks?

 

[craigg1986]

I've changed it to 25w and 310F to see if it makes a difference I was only vaping that high as the coils suggested that wattage on the side

 

[pufZeppelin]

well, I think that running 60-70 watts on a single 18650 battery is pushing the limit too far and also WHY your battery life is so short...

myself, if I was gonna run at that high of power output, I'd look into a unit with MORE battery (twin 18650 or 26650) - JMO

I think the SS coils are 0.4 ohm, but there is a 0.4 that's made of Kanthal that rates wattage at 40-60 watts that might be better. You can't use with TC, you'd need to stay on VW mode. I don't have a Cleito, so maybe someone will chime in. If you're under 60 watts, there's also some 20A 3000mAh batteries that could give you more run-time.

 

[craigg1986]

I've just been running it at 25w and the battery dropped a 1/4 of charge in 5 minutes.. doesn't seem to make a difference in terms of what wattage I'm using

 

[Ed_C]

That's not right. Is this a shop that you have reason to trust? There are counterfeit Sony batteries out there.

 

[craigg1986]

Yeah it's a chain on the high street, I think I might buy an smok alien mod just seems easier

Just bought these hopefully they will fix the issue

Something else to consider, batteries have a limited shelf life.
They may have been sitting in the B&M a couple years.
One reason I like to get batteries from a reputable company, that has fresh stock.

Ebay may not be the best place to buy batteries if you are trying to avoid counterfeits. I assume that you are in the UK, so I can't recommend a reliable source for batteries. I'm in the US.

 

[Ed_C]

People around here are generally picky about where they purchase their batteries for the above reasons of counterfeits and old stock. The eBay vendor you chose had good rating so hopefully you get lucky. Maybe someone from the UK can chime in.

 

[craigg1986]

Yeah that's why i went with them, on a side note i went to the shop today to try return the current batteries and they said they don't think it's the batteries but have offered to test my mod/batteries/recharger. So will see what they say once they've tested it.

If they say it's the mod again i'll have to wait till the new batteries arrive and see what difference they make. The batteries were £24 so quite expensive!

They said its unlikely to be the batteries as they've replaced them for me before however the same can be said for the mod, what a nightmare!
