How super-sub-ohm are you below 0.5ohms??? Batteries you are using. Charger you are using. Are you a chain vaper???

Super sub-ohm, or using an exotic coil like a clapton or such, battery Mah rating is out the window as you are pulling massive current out of the battery, Milliamp hours is a rating of for instance 2500mah, at 1ohm would me about 1.25hours of current, or a 2ohm coil could potentially last at 2.5hours, now, 0.5ohms about 30minutes vape time, 0.25ohms about 15minutes, seeing a relationship here??
 
when you say 20 minutes or so, is this a 20 minute session? or 20 minutes of vape time. If its 20 minutes of vapor, you're probably fine and its normal, if its 20 minutes per session, and you are puffing every 30 seconds or so then, your mah might be too low for your build or your battery might be too old. as batteries get older they drop a lot of their capacity. the comments above are all really good too.

Depends on "mah" of the battery, WATTS being used, Temp control set too, and the coil build. So many factors to really give you a clear definition of your problem.

Milliamp Hour (mAh)


Milliamps Hour (mAh) is important because it's the easiest way to distinguish the strength or capacity of a battery. The higher the mAh, the longer the battery will last. Batteries with different mAh ratings are interchangeable. If your battery is rechargeable then the mAh rating is how long the battery will last per charge.


Milliamps Hour is 1/1000th of a Amp Hour, so a 1000mAh = 1.0Ah

Think of a cars gas tank. Voltage is how much gas is being used, and mAh is the size of the gas tank. The bigger the gas tank (mAh) rating the longer the device will run. If your battery is rechargeable, then think of the gas tank as refillable (rechargeable).

Yep higher MAH will give longer life. Unless you are vaping at really high discharge rates then most of the high mah ones perform about the same as a regular one.
Also generally speaking high mah batteries have lower CDR ratings and may be more likely to overheat and vent at high discharge rates.
The brown ones seem good according to the reports I have seen. I forget the brand...

My guess would be sub-ohm/crazy build or a junky battery. Given (what I'd guess is) this user's true age, he probably acquired his setup through a friend or a sketchy website. Wouldn't be far fetched to assume the battery is mislabeled or not adequate for vaping.

Hi! I have had a problem for a while now with my nemesis/turbo rda combination. When i charge the battery it only lasts for 20 minutes or so. I have tried many batteries from my friends but nothing works. If you have any idea what could be the problem please help!

So did batteries used to last longer before?



If you drive fast, you run out of gas sooner.
