new ego twist. Question

[Gsr1379]

So I am one of the odd people that worked backwards. I started off (on my return to ecigs) with a Lava tube using carto tanks and a full mech with a igo l dripper doing sub ohms coils. I decide i wanted something more portable so I picked up a Ego-c twist 1000 mah with a Kanger T4 from My Vapor Store. The vapor and experience is great. But my question is battery life. First charge took ~8 hours it and it lasted about 6 hours. Second charge took ~3.5 hours, it lasted 3 hours. Now it is charging again. Is this normal? I feel I should be getting more vape time on this. I have it set a 4 volts and the kanger I ohm tested to about 2.7ohms.

anyone?

thanks

Obviously devices will differ some between units, but I get about 4 hours from my 650 twist and it takes about 3 hours to charge from a full drain. I'd say yours is under-performing if it keeps up with those kind of numbers... It's best to charge up when you're in between vaping rather than letting it drain until the button flashes.

Thanks, yeah I think it is working good I am getting about 8 hours out of it now. Maybe the battery had to "stretch its legs" a few times

Also, your twist will drain quicker if you use it at a higher voltage. You can run a twist at 3.6 volts and it will keep it's charge most of a day. If you use it above, say, 4.2 or more, it will last a few hours or so.

Right, so the higher the resistance in your delivery device -> the higher your voltage will be -> the shorter your battery life will be.

It should be about 10 hours for an "average" vaper. This should apply to using around 4 volts. Even when chain vaping it should last more than 3 hours. You may want to get that battery exchanged. Just for kicks check the center post on the battery. Pry it up a little. Maybe you are only getting contact partially. I had that happen on my vv Gripper.
