My Turn for a GLV

[FreakyStylie]

OK, I'm sold. I've been sold, but I've attempted a couple of contests . . . and lost. I am looking at getting a 5v.

Now I just have a few questions about batteries because I just don't quite get it all.

batteries . . . if I were to use only batteries now, I would use 2-3 900mAh eGo batts per day. (I actually pick up a new battery before the previous one drains because they seem to lose "kick" well before they die.)

How many (of which) batteries should I have for the GLV to keep me going?
IMR16340? CR123? Why? Safety?

Also, will I expect a similarity with what I'm getting on my 5v PT? I find that I like the standard 510 attys/cartos on this just for the fact that the vapor feels warmer. I flippin' LOVE the E2, with the heat being right there!

Will there be any left next month, LOL?

I use 2 sets of aw 16340 protected batteries in my glv2 I have to sets that I rotate. When using stacked batteries in a mod It will pull more juice from the first battery than the second battery, so I rotate them as well. I have my batteriers labeled a1,a2 and b1,b2.

When I change my batteries, I start a1,a2, b1,b2, a2,a1, b2,b1, that way they will both age at the same rate.

I use 3 sets per day.Sometimes 4.

I've seen the numbering thing before, I'll have to remember that.

Are you on the button all day? I think I sleep vape sometimes, so I might need 4 sets.

I used to use 2-3 Ego batteries a day (3 on days I vaped a LOT). I have two sets of protected CR123A lithium batteries that GLV sells. Some days if I put in the batteries at 6am I don't put the next set in til 6am the next morning. If I am home or with friends sometimes I use 2 sets in 24 hrs. I would say two sets will do you fine.

Be sure that you get the ones with the brass threads for the atty/carto, the aluminum ones strip out over time.

^^^ X 2.... two sets of CR123A's should last you a solid 24 hrs

except keyzygirl... that's got to be an expection

 

[keyzygirl]

I guess I vape alot.I get about 4-5 hrs per set.I get about the 4hrs from a 650 ego.I just wanted to be honest so you dont end up with not enough charged batts.Everyone vapes differently.

 

[Chelseafn]

Go with at least 2 sets. If you find it isnt enough get 2 more sets later. The thing with the CR123A's 750 mah, from my expierence is when the batts get low the other set is done charging. Makes life a little easier!!

 

[Brutus Buckeye]

do the batts just drop off all at once or do you notice them diminishing and change then? also is it ok to let them charge overnight or should they be taken off as soon as they are charged?

 

[FreakyStylie]

Thanks for all the input! I probably will be on the safe side, and order more batteries. If I end up not using all of them, then the extras can be my stock. I learned my lesson about battery life from the get-go with the xhale that I started with. The only reason that I smoked was because the battery was dead, so I have a spare of everything - even the juices I like the best.

So, the CR123s are good for the power then? I haven't done a lot of in-depth research on the batteries, but I've seen debates over the output of them vs IMR batteries. The only reason that I'm asking is that I'm looking for as much consistency as possible. Like I said, I would change the batteries on the eGo before they went dead because I could tell they were losing power, and that's not fun.

Plus, like Brutus said . . . charging . . . are there chargers that will stop charging when they reach full charge, or is it still generally accepted as a good idea not to leave batteries charging unattended?

That is why I ditched the Vaporking/V4L stuff. They were great for 8 to 10 drags, so so for 1/2 a day then completely unsatisfying. I did a lot of reading and thinking before going for 16340 based mods. I don't have a GLV-2 yet (but just ran my ordering intent past the wife and she gave the go ahead)... but have and use a single 16340 at a time mod with 9 batteries in rotation. I have 4x IMR 350mah 3.7v, 3x 880mah 3.6v and 2x 880mah 3.7v. I'm not sure I can tell the difference between any of them. I *think* the IMR hit smoother but die a little quicker. I run 2.4ohm cartos.

No, she's no exception as far as I'm concerned. I change batts at least 3 times a day. Go through about 5 ml of juice too.

 

[FreakyStylie]

OK, one more question. How long does it take from ordering/dreaming to owning/vaping?

 

[TxMagic]

All this technical talk . . . nothing about the most important part . . . What COLOR??? FreakyStylie - tell us the designer color combo you've chosen. It's like a permanent thing whereas batteries can be changed. Oh, and good choice. Congratulations.

 

[keyzygirl]

Depends what you order.Could be 2 weeks,could be less.Takes longer if you get etching done.Call Jay and tell him what you want and ask him how long.

 

[FreakyStylie]

Plain old, flat black. No etching. Sometimes I'm neither Freaky, nor Stylie.

Sounds like I might be able to get it by my birthday then. Shweet!

 

[skullfreak]

i am on the market for the same thing

 

[RippleInStillWater]

Get the caps painted also -- here's my collection, I like the look of Little Red and the Purple Monster more than the Nebulinator:




I rotate constantly, probably 5-6 hours/pair AW ICR123 750mAh, but I am a chain vaper of low-nic juices. I hope that helps!
