It's the other features and battery life that interest me, I have enough power already.

I can vape my G2 at 150 Watts, only because the temperature control works so well and limits it to 30 or 40 instantly :)

I vaped at 15 watts once.

Once.

Innokin Coolfire 4


My biggest issue with the Coolfire's and some of their other mods is they come with a built in battery but Innokin recently has said they will be coming out with more replaceable battery equipped mods which is fantastic news.

I really like Innokin's quality but until they offer that option i'm not interested , not saying there is anything wrong with built in battery mods and i have had quite a few but i'm interested in something different these days.

More seriously, or, actually, to be serious... Oh, nevermind.

While I still have a small boatload of VV3s and Spinner types, I've stopped buying anything that isn't a replaceable battery device. While most are regulated, the electronics will likely last longer than the battery, and I'm still concerned about what the Feds may do to us. I have several fixed battery mods that no longer hold a charge, but still have functional electronics. The MVP1 makes a nice paperweight, but freshly charged is only good for about two puffs! :lol:

Don't the internal batteries swell up after a certain period of laying dormant? If so, is it worth keeping things like that around?

I've grown a bit uncomfortable with them too, partially based on a couple of experiences KD had, and am now down to a single CoolFire IV (that I like way too much to get rid of before its time). I'm pretty sure that will be the last of the internals for me though. Once I detect that it's beginning to go, I'll dispose of it.

Like you, I'm not buying just things with replaceable batteries.

I have around a dozen with internal batteries... well, non-replaceable... they're all internal :p I like them for long road trips.

I am all about being

DP, lithium batteries swell due to heat, both while charging and while discharging under heavy load. Normally, the amount of swelling is quite minimal unless the battery is being abused with too high charge current or too high discharge current.

Thanks, aswum. We were told that they'll also swell (significantly) if left unused to too long of a time. I have NO IDEA if that's accurate, which is why I posed the question. @Katdarling had it happen to one (fairly valuable) mod, but neither of us knows enough about batteries to know if that was truly the issue.

Do you know if that's true?

That's the first I've heard of a lithium battery swelling when not under stress. I'll look into that, but I would suspect something was wrong, somewhere, either with the mod or the battery itself. If the battery is sitting, with no current flow from load or charge, there should be virtually no chemical activity that would cause swelling, at least in what pass as my mind, but I could certainly be wrong.
