Looking for light weight battery for mom

[mikeinbc]

My mother has been smoking for 45 years. I set her up with an ego-T kit. The 650 mah batteries are a little too heavy for her. I'm looking for a lighter weight battery with reasonable power (prefer a 510 connection or 510 adapter?) Any ideas?? Thanks.

There's a new 510 out that looks like a cross between a standard 510 and an eGo. It uses a 450 mah battery so it should last a while. madvapes has them here, Super 510-T Kit, Chrome.

A KR808 is a bit smaller and has a 380 mah battery, but it's not a 510 so you'd have to use an adapter (a couple of bux). Mega 510's are also 380 mah, 510 Mega Kit with no Box and are quite a bit lighter than the eGo. Then there's the little standard 510 with a 280 mah battery (?) that's just a bit bigger than a 100 sized analog. Not good for medium or heavy smokers because of the short battery life.

Thanks for the info, cskent. I'ii check those out and be sure to buy a few to last between charges

Is it the size or actual weight? To me even the batts I got with my kgo barely weigh anything. An average woman's purse I would suspect would weigh more.

Eric, I could carry a garbage bag full of Kgos and still weigh less than my purse

And I love my Kgo. Even after getting my Provari, I still use it about as much.

Well, you could reduce some of the weight by switching to cartos instead of the tank. Just a thought. Otherwise, you will have to go with something with much less battery life, like the Joye 510.

If you get the Joy 210 you can get mega batteries for them that last a lot longer.Thats what I did.Then eventually she will want the bigger voltage ones.

I like the standard Joye 510.

I got it at Rocky Mtn vapors. Just remember to get her cartos with it.

I might lean towards KR808D-1 mega/XL batteries, with maybe an 808batt-510atty adapter if you really want 510 compatibility. The 808 batteries are higher mAH than the 510 standard batteries, let you run lower ohm cartos, and provide a higher output voltage (which equates directly to a bit more power/warmth). There are also a LOT of KR808D-1 prefilled cartos, if that is a consideration.

(A standard 510 battery is 180 mAh. A standard 808 battery is 280 mAH, the same as an XL/mega 510 battery. A mega/XL battery is 380 mAH. All standard 510 batteries are nominal 3.3V, vs. KR808D-1 3.7 - 3.8V. The mAH relates to run time and how low a resistance is considered okay to use, hjigher mAh means lower resistance is okay. The V is related to output power for a given resistance, bigger is more power.)

The above is based on the norms, however PV makers do keep twiddling with parameters, so maybe they are now making higher V and higher mAh 510s.

Suggestion... Canvape sells a 2 person KR808 starter kit for $54.95, which gives you 4 of the 280mah batts, 2 chargers, and 10 blank "clearomizers" ... the photo shows cartomizers though so you would have to check with them ... I'm sure they'll do either ... the batts are a mix of auto and manual, but you can get all of one kind as well if you ask them. Even though it says 2 person, to me its an ideal 1 person starter kit for someone who likes the slim bats. Decent amount of power (1100+mah total), redundancy in the chargers, and twice the number of cartos you normally get with a starter kit.
