Kayfun draining Provari battery super quick

[Fatboy 589]

'Ello, mates.

I got a Kayfun 3.1 recently and I decided it'd be perfect to put onto my Provari. I don't particularly care for mech mods anymore, so I run provari's or other volted mods.

Now, I have my Kayfun wrapped to 1.39 ohms which is fantastic. But with my provari, my battery will start dying after about 20-25 minutes sometimes. Sometimes it's five or six hours, others it's in less than an hour. I'm using efest 2200 18650's and it varies from day to day it seems. When I use it on my iTaste MVP (even at five volts) it'll last me upwards of three days.

Could the Kayfun be shorting somewhere to make the batteries die that quickly? Some of the batteries I have are four or five months old and have been used with sub ohms on some mech mods. Do I need new batteries or is it something with the mod/tank? I have cleaned out my contacts already so that isn't the issue.

Any help is appreciated

You didn't mention what voltage you are running your set up (how many watts), but it could be your batteries. I can get well over a full tank on a Kayfun with an 18650 battery in a Provari. I run 1.2 ohm mini coils at around 3.7 volts.

I would probably dismiss the kayfun as the culprit if it's lasting long on the MVP. It's got to be a dirty connection somewhere on the Provari or your battery. Go back and clean the 510 connection, the internal positive connection with pencil eraser, all the threads with alcohol and noalox, and remove the spring and clean all around it. If you still have issues then I'd say it's the battery.

I'll run it around 3.8-4.2, depending on the day or what nic level I have in there.

Turns out, it was actually the batteries I had. They had been sub ohmed before, so that definitely killed them. Picked up two new ones at my shop, good to go! Thank you guys!
