itaste mvp 20w dud battery

[morningdew]

just got two new itaste mvp's from fasttech.

They only seem to be lasting me 300 Vapes before battery goes red. My old mvp 20 watts I am sure used to last longer before needing recharging.

I am vaping at 12-15 watts with a 1.2 ohm coil, so around 3.8 to 4.2 volts.

Have I bought a couple of duds?

Could it be that you are taking longer draws thus using up more battery power with each puff? My 11 watt MVP's usually go about 500 puffs per charge. Mine are usually set at 7.5 up to 10 and my coils are normally 1.8

Thanks Matt. I wAs taking long puffs actually, probably around 5 seconds, the gs 1.2 coils require a fair pull at 12.5 watts. I am sure these are meant to run for 750-900 per charge.

Additionally the vv/vw buttons rattle which they don't on my other Mvp20.

I am now running a puff counter on my old mvp to see how that goes. Can then compare, though the old one is six months and used every day!

You are probably taking longer drags (therefore pushing the fire button longer) than you used to. Therefore, battery life is shorter.

So how did the puff counter compare from old to new?

450 eight month old battery and <300 new batteries. Running again on a new battery and at 290 and 3.7v,, switched to another for night as using subtank.

Fasttech being a pain, as yet no refund offered, only €5 credit or refund on one if I can prove coil misreading, said misreading looks like a one off so I cannot replicate.

Ordered two from UK as I think these are duds...will see how many hits these provide, I reckon on 650 at new.

If so going to really push fasttech.

Lesson learnt though never order anything but cheap tanks and coils from fasttech!
