Just received my LR attys for AltSmoke...

[SheerLuckHolmes]

Thanks for the bag. It is just perfect to store my LR attys and not get them mixed up with my other stuff.

I must admit I was not too sure about what to expect from these LRs. I am a die hard 5 and 6v guy. 3.7v just does not do it for me. But I have had the 18650 bats sitting around collecting dust for about 6 or 7 months since I first got my SB. And I have been reading so much about the LRs that I had to give them a try.

So the pouch arrives today. I take a couple of hits off my original 510 atty at 6v and then drop the 18650 bat in the SB. I then switch out the attys and then drip four drops of juice in the LR and I am quite pleased. The vapor production is almost identical to the 6v. The vapor is noticably cooler. And the flavor actually seems to hang around in my mouth a little longer, almost an aftertaste which is surprising and nice.

Am I going to give up 5 and 6v vap'n in favor of the LR attys? Absolutely not. But I am excited to now have a new alternative to the variety in my hobby.

I'm hopping that the 18650 will have the same long lasting power that I remember from the old days with this new LR atty. It would be nice to not have to worry about switching out batteries all day long. I'll let you know my experience tomorrow that this.

Anybody else using a 18650 with a LR 510 on the SB? How long is your battery lasting?

The math says you should see about a 20% reduction in battery time. We'll see how it works out for you. Maybe less than 20% reduction since you'll probably be taking fewer draws on it due to more vapor.

My battery is never drained after a day of use...but i have about 5 18650's charged up at a time so i swap daily to make sure i'm getting the best voltages possible. But then again, i'd be getting mostly a full day out of 6v vaping typically.

I am personally a diehard 6v fan but the 3.7v is definitely nice as well. Much better for flavor, not as good for throat hit. Good balance overall though.

I get a good 12 hours with the IMR18650 and LR attie, but I also had vaped 5ml with 3.7V and standard atties.....

I'm using the Chuck with 18650 with these atty and am getting a day and a half easy..

Ok, I dropped the 18650 in my SB yesterday to try out the LR at 11:00am. Now, I use two devices all day long. I drip into one and vape it until the atty is too hot or I get that dry taste, then pick up the second device and repeat, repeat, repeat, etc. I am under no restrictions with my devices at work or anywhere else, so I'm hitting it all day long.

It is now 10:00 am the next day and I am dropping in a fresh 18650. WOW! I just couldn't wait any longer. From now on I am just going to switch to a fresh bat each morning and not worry about it. This is great!

The fresh bat perked up the vap'n real nice, so I am sure it was close, but again this is just outstanding performance.

Nice Job on the SB, Chad and Rob! It is truly a vap'n machine at either 6v or (NOW!) at 3.7 with a LR 510. Can wait to try the LR~801, but I'm too happy with the LR~510 to play around at this point.

Oh, BTW, I did try the LR~510 on my BB PT with an Enercell at 3.0v and it did not give out any vapor at all. 3.0v must just be too low to kick start it. I have the Sears Diehard power cell in my car and it has a 4v setting, so I will probably try the BB with the LR~510 at 4v this weekend. We will see.

Man this is fun!

Keep in mind that your a 3.7v battery comes off the charger at 4.2v, drops a couple or few 1/10ths very quickly and then gradually decreases voltage until it's done.
