Looking for a batt that lasts longer than a day and doesn't cost a ton

[1LastShot]

I am not sure I am not in the right forum- however we have been through several types of batteries, and haven't been too happy- the latest buy was an Ego twist. I simply thought it would last longer for a 1000 maH? Guess not!

Any suggestions?

the wife has an off-brand 1300mah but after only about 2 months, it's acting up pretty badly.

The go-go batteries last about 2 days with 1300mah and the go-go twist will last me about a day. discountvapers has them cheap but you have to use the go-go carto's and clearo's. If your willing to do that, the carto's and clearo's are great if you can deal with the proprietary threading.

The twist at 1100 maH or the Vision spinner at 1300 maH would provide more hours of vape time if it were set at a low voltage but if you're trying to vape at a higher voltage then it will cut out whenever the battery is unable to provide that voltage. I'd recommend an 18650-powered mod if you want to be, on average, able to go for about a full day.

Maybe you want to try something like the itaste MVP or the smok groove. Those have built in batteries but I'd get almost 3 days out of my groove. Plus it's vv & vw. You can also find them at a good price most times. They are both box mods but not as big as you would think.

True. I don't have the smok groove but the itaste MVP lasts a long time. Although I have a few pv's going at a time, the MVP lasts for days.

Do you mean lasts longer until it needs to be recharged or until it dies? I have one twist that I bought in July that's still going strong. A couple of off-brands only lasted a couple months.

I loove your avatar And all I can say is the 18350 in my VAMO lasts me a whole work day and about 1 hour after I get home too. I vape about 4ml of juice at work if that helps give you an idea of how long it lasts.

 

[melloyello]

18350 battery lasts you all day? thats 750mah right? i go through about 4mls of juice while buring through 1800mah of battery. (3.7v)

to the OP: and 18650 battery mod would last you most (if not all) day. (vamo/zmax ect)

If you're looking for a long time between charges ... go Go-Go. The Go-carts are great, the Go-Go Fury tanks are great, and at 1300 mAh the Go-Go Fury batteries are phenomenal. I get my Go-Go gear here:

Electronic Cigarettes from Cigeasy - Home of the Easy E-Cigarette

The proprietary threading is no big deal because once you go Go-Go there's no reason to go back to anything else. I've got plenty of stuff in the drawer (we all have the drawer don't we?) that isn't compatible with the Go-Go. Who cares? Those batts and cartos and attys didn't perform as well as the Go-Go. They deserve to be in The Drawer.

800 mAh. And I go out to vape about every 2 hours for about 15mins at around 3.8 volts. Is that unusual? (I'm being serious not rude lol.)

Any 18650 mod. The Evic comes with 2600mah or 3400mah batteries now. So any mod that can fit those batteries will lengthen your current vaping time.

In regards to lifetime of a battery/mod/device....there's tons of discrepancies on each device...take care of it and it should last longer than a few months. I still have my KGO non vv batteries when I first started back in 5/12 and it's still going strong. My MVS 1000mah twist is slowly showing its age and it was purchased on 9/12. My joyetech twists are still going strong purchased on 10/12.

Sorry didn't mean to abandon-thread, I was juice-making...
Ok now to try to answer as many people as possible at once )

I am not ready to go for a mod yet, not sure why, just not lol

With the Twist, the issue is the time between charges. We are both fairly heavy vapers, and usually keep them at 4volts. We get a day if we are lucky, which is fine for me really, but The Wife got spoiled on the off-brand 1300 maH that lasted her for a few days at a time when she first got it.

I have heard great things about the go-go, but having to get new accessories for it is just simply NOT something we can afford right now.

She was considering a Mega Kgo VV 1200 MaH she found (did that just put me in the wrong thread? I can't remember if there is a KGO thread) but I thought I would ask around for some other choices.

And thanks on the avatar

I can throw in another vote for the Go-Go from cig-easy, my batts can last up to 2 days. As for durability, I know of a few that have survived being dropped in water. I'm also really liking the fury tanks, easy to fill on the go....go.

Have you ever thought about a pass through or getting a portable charging case for your ego?

 

[kl5167]

I have the Kgo 1100's and I get about 2 days on one of those. I go through about 3ml a day right now give or take a little. I have been pretty happy with them so far. I have only had them about 3 weeks and to this point I do not see any degradation on them.

 

[heateris]

i like the battery life of my ego-t mod with the joyetech 18650 2200mah blue battery. lasts about a day. i have 3 and always keep two charged.

Do you have any recommendations for either?

 

[1LastShot]

I almost feel like I need to start a new thread but question- could it be our chargers causing the issue? Can a charger be working, but not so great? None of ours are actually new- they were gifted to us with our original batts (which were also not new)

 

[mogium]

Just get an evic with a 3400 mah battery

I have a kgo vv passthrough that has been a real lifesaver. I got it through Sweet Vapes.
No more waiting until it charges to vape. I've had it several months and there's been no problem.

I also have a fat black 1300mah spinner that I got about the same time. It's still going good, but I end up using the kgo more because of the passthrough.

I usually carry a fully charged battery and interchange between devices to last through a whole day. I also have long days. But I'm here reading threads looking for something else too. The message I'm getting is that it's going to take a mod with removable batteries to last a full day. I don't know why, but changing out a battery seems easier than changing out the whole device.

The good news is that many mods have a longer life span, i.e. years instead of months. Based on what I'm hearing, I probably could have been ahead $ by buying something like the ProVape 1 vs. a ton of ego-like batteries.
