Merged old sticky threads (2)

2 of my RY4 carts was dry and crusty. I think it might be because of the cold outside, but when I took out the fillinf, the liquid was a medium dark brown and thick. It stayed like that for 6hrs and my home is @ 74 degrees. So I think that they were bad. I didn't open up two of them and only used one cart which tasted like burnt plastic. No, the cart was fine, the liquid inside was gooey. Looked like honey, smelled like bad RY4 and I was disappointed with that. I put in new PTB and vapedfor 7 hrs with EcoPure with toffee. That was very nice and tastey. Now I am useing the Rich flavor in 30mg nd can tell the diff from the VP2 and 510 batts. The taste is a bit richer and more vapor and much warmer.

Lets see. I went thru 5ml in 7 hrs and I use to go thru 8. So I have cut down on the amount but I have a VP2 and it will last me from 8 to 10 hrs. I would still use about 8ml in that time. One thing is for sure the taste is more and the TH is very good compared to the VP2. I really never had such good throat hit until the eGo. My mega batts would last me from 4 to 6 hrs. I have the Pelican case from Innovapor and the eGo fits inside very nicely. I use it now to carry it around with four 3ml bottles of EcoPure.

Man, that's a lot of juice/vaping. God bless you, Sir.

5ml in 7 hours is pretty amazing if you ask me. I personally can only get 2ml from my eGo battery before it goes. Whether I do that in 4 hours or 8 hours, it doesn't seem to matter. For every .4ml of juice I vape the battery drops by .13v.

Charged to the maximum my eGo battery is at 4v and when it turns itself off it is around 3.35v. I think the battery is suppose to charge to 4.1v though.

So that is more like 2-2.5ml that my batteries seem capable of. If yours are doing twice that, I want a refund lol

Now my second battery quit just before 5 hrs. Man, that to me sux. But hopefully they will last longer as I go along.

I can drip into the cart 15 to 18 drops from a 15ml bottle. All I know is the bottle was full when I started and now its half full and no juice into my mouth and no juice leaking out anywhere.

Pulled the filling out of my RY4 cart, and the exposed end was dark brown, and the other end was clear. Must be a bad batch.

Ah, I had a feeling you were using carts while PF has been dripping.

 

[franklyspeaking]

510 carts leave a lot of juice unused before you have to refill. Dripping will lower your juice consumption. Is anyone experiencing a performance drop or is the performance steady until the battery dies?

I have to admit they do look slick. Christmas shopping for the kids ruined my ego plans for the moment so I'll have to wait to try this out.

I received my eGo yesterday and promptly began charging the battery. I checked the charger every hour and after 8 hours the red light did not go out. So, I switched the battery and began charging the 2nd one. I waited overnight...same thing the red light on the usb charger never goes out.

So I try to vape using the 1st battery which charged 8 hours and it lasted me 2 hours.

It seems no matter if I plug my usb into the wall, or computer, the red light never goes out.

Am I doing something wrong, or does the usb charging cable need to be replaced. Thanks in advance.

Edit: 30 minutes on 2nd battery that charged overnight!

 

[riverrat45]

I would definately think the charger is the problem, I wouldnt think that you would get two bad batteries at the same time My eGo batteries are taking around 1 1/2 hours to charge. And as far as how long the battery lasts I am finding everyones thoughts on how long they should last a little humorous I think everyone is under the assumption they should last exactly the same to the minute, lets just say it lasts a loooong time. But My theory and honest opinion is that you will not find a better 510 device and (that goes for the looks and size of this unit) with a longer lasting battery than the eGo. It is heads and shoulders above anything else out there IMO. Hit JANTY up about getting a new charger sent out ASAP!

 

[stubear62]

Actually, I lose less juice with the eGo than say the VP2 or mega batts. The eGo uses up the juice and noting extra in cart or in atty or even in the back of the cart (where you breath in ) If you take the back piece off of the cart that goes into your mouth you will have some juice there and in my video on youtube that I show how to clean the 510 cart, I always have some juice there. Not with the eGo. I took off the back piece and only one little droplett was on the inside. It was condensation not juice. I am happy with the eGo so far, just would like the 10+ hrs that Mik gets, But I am NOT a light weight to vaping. Specially if I use 5 or more ml's per batt usage..

 

[stubear62]

The battery life according to Mik for him was 10hrs +.. I had less then 7 on my first batt and less then 5 on my second battery. I did expect them to last a bit longer, but I keep forgetting I vape very heavy. So to me that they lasted like they did is very good. If I need to have just one product to have and get rid of everything else I have, I would keep the eGo's and sell the rest. My VP2, CHUCK, PT and anything else I have for those. I would just keep the eGo and maybe get the Baby J for home usage. The eGo is so far the best I have used and I believe the batts will get batter life when I stop vaping so heavy.

Opps, Yes get in touch with Janty and let them know abot the USB charger!

Hey

well, it seems you are a really heavy vaper - from what you report on juice consumption.

Im not a light vaper, but i guess over time i have gotten used to just being able to leave the ego - or leave the "habit" of wanting to drag on it. Eventually i think thats where we are all heading - at some point it becomes "routine" , just as smoking analogues where - however, since this has no tar, etc, then it IS easier to actually forget about vaping.

So yeah - its difficult to say how much battery life you "should" be getting. In the end though i wouldnt worry too much about it - as long as its no hassle to use, and it lasts you for X amount of time stabile, and that X amount of time is something you can count on, AND that X amount of time is impressive to you, considering the devices size - then its all good. Thats all that really matters, i think!

But it does deliver the best taste/TH ever, if you ask me Mm-mm-m.

 

[Mik_Janty]

Sounds like your charger is definately a problem - contact your store asap and have it replaced!

How long these batteries last?

Janty USA - MINI FOGGER

Hey Icey

Its hard to say - it really depends how hard a vaper you are. Can you give us an example of what you normally vape on, and how long that lasts for you?

 

[franklyspeaking]

I believe the minifogger has about half the MAH that a normal 510/Dura battery has. I get about two hours on a Dura battery and about 45 minutes on a Mini-Fogger battery. I'm a heavy vaper though. The nice thing about the mini fogger battery is it recharges quickly. You can also use the mini foggers atty on a dura battery (or any 510 threaded device) for longer performance.

The mini fogger atty is awesome btw.

Is anyone experiencing a performance drop or is the performance steady until the battery dies?

I do notice a performance drop if for example I switch between a freshly charged battery and one that has been used for a while. The difference isn't drastic because you find yourself taking shorter puffs on a fresh battery whereas on a used one you take longer puffs and end up with the same hit, flavour and vapour as you would if the battery was fresh.

The drop off for me is about 3.55v, which is a good .45v into its cycle, higher for other peoples batteries. Which is not bad at all, considering I vape about 2ml on a fresh battery and I use about 1.4ml of that before the drop-off happens. That is like 70% use before any sort of noticeable decline in performance. But as I already said, you likely will not notice this unless your looking for it.

The reason I say that is the eGo sort of becomes an extension of your body (lol) and your brain automatically takes longer and longer puffs as you are using it without you realising it. So that is why people seem to be feeling no cut-off, the eGo has such a steady decline that it is possible to just sort of vape with it and the adjustments in puff become natural.

I'm just jealous of all you lucky vapers with your Ego!! I'm patiently waiting for my local supplier iVapour to get hold of some ohh and payday hehe

Gotta love PF's ability to rationalize and put things in perspective. =)

Sort of like when your car's brakes gradually wear out with the pedal sinking ever so slowly over time. Until somebody else drives your car and says; "Dude, you have no brakes!". LOL Then, after you slap a new set of pads in there you realize you're lifting your foot about 3 inches higher than you were before and applying less pressure to, you know, stop. =)

And just to stress the liquid to battery length ratio and it's importance...

If somebody claimed that he/she was getting four years out of a single set of pads, wouldn't the first question be;

"And, how many miles?".

But, noooooo. Not in the PV world. Here we speak in half sentences...

"My battery lasts 2 days!" "My battery lasts 35 minutes".

LOL

True. But then you have to take into consideration how long the car has been around for - and how long e-cigs have been around for.

I doubt anyone was asking their neighbours how long the brakes lasted on their cars, 5 years after it was born .. mainly becuase you could just lift up the horses shoes and see if it was already worn out.
