mAh settings - is it only for the puff counter?

[e30ernest]

Hello!

I've just gotten a short tube and I plan to use the 18350 (800mAh) for usual operations. I have the 18650 (2600mAh) as backup. Do I need to reset the mAh setting everytime I switch batteries if I do not use the puff counter feature?

Thanks!

Though it is not known for certain exactly what the mAh setting is for, it's my best guess that it is just for determining how many puffs remain on the battery's current charge. It is also possible that the setting affects the battery power level display, and/or the battery charging circuit. So myself I'd be on the safe side and change it to reflect whatever battery I'm using.

Thanks! I guess it is better safe to not be lazy. Cheers!

Not sure about firmware 1.4 but i found you can only enter 800 in the mah settings via the MVR software, i could not get it to accept 800 on the eVic menu itself.

Tried with 1.4 and the eVic menu accepted 800mAh.

The mAH setting is for the state of charge indicator.

I think it's only for the puff's remaining because the battery remaining looks accurate to me when I leave it set to 800 mahs and swap out my 18650. But the puff's remaining does go up and down when I change the battery type.

I could be wrong. I usually am.

i use 18650s for home and 18350s when im out.
i use aw imr and their 18350s are only 700 mah and the evic only goes as low as 800 mah.
i dont bother changing the settings for this reason and also i just find it troublesome.

my battery readings still seem accurate so i don't think it affects this.
i don't check the puff counter so i'm not sure about this.
