New 13 hour vision spinner battery goes fast

[shae69shae69]

Sooooo supposedly I just bought a new 13 hour vision 2014 spinner and it charges really fast like within an hour or two but its definitely NOT lasting 13 hours or remotely close to 13 hours...now I know the higher you have the spinner(3.3, 3.8, 4.3, and 4.8) the less the battery lasts buuut it only lasting an hour or two!? And I only have it half way turned up!!!!!! Another question...what does this 1300mah mean?

"what does this 1300mah mean?"

Battery Specialsits - Milliamp Hour Explained

MAH is milli-amp hour.

Hello. 1300 mah(milliamp hours) is the capacity of the battery, so yours should last longer than say a 900 mah battery. There's no real way to tell exactly how long a batt wil last considering the plethora of factors involved, but as a general rule of thumb it's 1 hr. per 100 mah, so yours woud last an estimated 13 hours, but this does vary alot. Seems something may be wrong with it if it's ony lasting 2 hours. What ohm coil are you using?

 

[shae69shae69]

A single bottom wick...and I'm not new to vaping I'm just not aware of all the lingo lol so Idk what ohm means...even if I puff on it quite often...it still shouldn't be lasting only two hours right??

If it's only taking one to two hours to charge... and it's only lasting one to two hours after it's charged... I would begin to suspect you got a cheap knockoff. The really crappy ones have that nice big eGo cylinder - only holding a tiny cigalike capacity battery inside. A brand new 1300 mAh battery should be giving you an average run time - allowing for variances in voltage set and device resistance - of about ten hours.

Speaking of: What are you using on it and do you know the device resistance?

There is one other possibility:

The charger dongle is the wrong one. It should read DC output 4.2 volts, 420 mA.

The charger dongle is being plugged into an under power USB source. It needs a USB power supply providing 500 mA current minimum to work properly.

The charger dongle is defective - it happens.

Rick the adapter is what you stated and I have and ego charger. Input DC 5V 500mA output DC 4.2V 420mA the USB I pug into the wall adapter has 5.0V

 

[shae69shae69]

It's a vision spinner 2014 and it charges fast I don't think I got some knock off :-/ the last vision I had took more than 8-10 hours to charge and surely lasted more than an hour before it started to go bad

thanks for posting it up the battery link

The AC to USB adapter should also state it's output current as well as the voltage on that 'lil ratings plate. It needs to provide a minimum of 500 mA current. More is better - if it says the output current is 1000 mA (or 1.0 Amp) it means the AC adapter is capable of providing far more current than the eGo charger will ever need to draw from it. Less than 500 mA current is when the eGo charger won't work correctly.

Does that Vision battery feel any lighter than other eGo batteries you have? If it does that can also be an indicator it has a small capacity battery hiding inside of it.

 

[shae69shae69]

What does resistance mean?? Man I feel like a noob lol I've been vaping for over a year...April was a year!!

 

[bacc.vap]

It's the atomizers resistance to the flow of electricity, measured in Ohms.

ohhhh no lol this is pretty hefty I don't remember if I had an ego battery when I first started out it was the scrappy top wick system...and the wall adapter says output 5.0V -0.7A input 100-240-50-60Hz

 

[shae69shae69]

No Idk the ohms :-/ I haven't gotten it tested...Ohh wait I just saw something on YouTube I can check!!! I might have the device to check it!!

What do I need to know the ohms for??

 

[bacc.vap]

If you know what your atomizer ohms are and the voltage you're supplying the atomizer you can determine the amps being drawn from the battery and the watts you're vaping at. These numbers can be used for a number of reasons, incuding safety, setting up your equipment, determing how much power is being drawn from the battery, etc.

 

[seek2]

Ohms is really irrelevant in this situation. Even the lowest ohm coil this battery will allow, will last longer than 2 hours.

Unless you are vaping non stop over the course of 2 hours (10+ml of juice for example).

You probably got a bad battery or charger.

Drain it completely, then let it charge for 8 hours. Regardless of the charge light, and then try again. If still bad, try a new charger and / or return the battery.

 

[shae69shae69]

Well what I put in my vaporizer lasts all day and in to maybe half the next day but still the battery dies...and I actually have kept it on there longer than an hour all night actually...my charger charges the new battery I have now just fine...like less than two hours...vision spinner I had before this one I had to charge 8 or more hours and only lasted an hour!! :-/

 

[edyle]

so what tank are you using; an iclear? aerotank? nautilus? ce4 topcoil?

 

[shae69shae69]

I have a kanger MT3s clearomizer

 

[edyle]

I have a kanger MT3s clearomizer

That comes with dual coil; it draws alot of power compared to regular single coils.

That's why your battery gets used up fast.

===oops!=== corection; didn't sleep last night;

thought i read protank3 (PT3), but now i see its MT3s.
