It is a ego vision vv... and I drained it already... 1300mah drained in about 4 hours... First off is that normal? 2nd I have it on my ego charger... battery on 5 clicks off... and the light is solid on.... is THAT normal? When I first screw it on it blinks 5 times and the button light goes out, then a couple of seconds latter solid on. And the light indicator on the charger reads red (not charged). When I first got it I screwed it on to make sure it had a full charge and it read green (charge) and the batt light was blinking (also indicating charged) So what it the deal?
okay so my vv is drained,,, need help.

I'd watch the usage time, that does seem a bit short. I've managed to kill my Vision in 5 hours though, vaping heavily at nearly the maximum voltage. Usually when I'm testing juice.
And yep, while charging you could use the thing as a flashlight. It flashes, then goes full on at full bright until it's charged, at which point it shuts off.
The white button light stays on while it charges. Usually it takes about 3.5-4 hrs for a full charge on the 1300mah. I never turn mine off to charge just plug it in and its been good for at least 1.5 mos so far. I would just let it charge but keep an eye on it. The white light will go off when it is almost ready and the red will flicker green and then it will go fully green,
I have read somewhere that it is good to set it around 4.3v when charging but that's where mine stays.
All the charging stuff is normal but it should last much longer than 4 hours. What voltage do you use it at and what carto/clearomizer are you using? I vape heavily on mine and it lasts me 9 hours.
Thank you for laying my worries to rest.
Okay so 4.3 is my sweet spot. And I am not sure as to if it was fully drained not that I think on it because it is very picky about the boge clearos... weird as that may seem. I needed to kinda prime them on a different ego batt to make them work on the vv... is that normal? Brand new boge clearos do not work on my vv. I have to take like 5 puff on a normal ego... so strange.

What resistance clearos are you using with it? That can have a direct bearing on battery life

I use 4.3 as well and it still lasts me 9 hours. I don't know about those clearos since I use vivi novas but after filling you need to prime a few minutes to get a good taste. That's about it. What ohm are the clearos?
1300 mah in 4 hours?? Were there clouds of bodacious vapor?
I think maybe there's a break-in period. I'd recharge it and try it again. As long as it isn't heating up or doing anything else weird. The light on this battery does seem to have a mind of it's own. Always make sure your threads and stuff are clean on the battery and the charger.
Also, dual coil cartos seem to kill my little stick batts in no time. Dunno if you use those.

Single coil.
I am very impressed by the vapor production. I vaped up 3 mls... and then it started binking at me.
That explains it.....I use 2200 MaH batteries in my PV and usually get 4-6 hours from them. I vape a LOT so thats part of it but the rest is my cartomizers ohms. Theyre at 2.0 as well.
It sounds backwards I know but going with a higher resistance and higher voltage or watts extends battery life.
I like a really cool vape so dont care much about the low battery life.

I've been using mine since this morning and it looks like it's starting to die now. Weaker vape. Has lasted about 8 hours. I've been vaping from it pretty heavily but maybe you just vape much more than me. I probably vaped about 3ml all together, same as you.
Don't listen to people who tell you "it should last WAY longer than xx-hours"
Unless your battery is dying after 20 minutes of light use then I wouldn't worry. 1300mAh may sound like a lot, but it's not that much when talking about VV devices. The boost circuit draws a lot more power than you usually would, allowing you to use higher voltage.
I'm not sure exactly how your specific device's circuit board is set up, but odds are even when the selected output voltage on your VV device is at, or lower than the current voltage of the battery istelf, your still loosing power to the VV circuitry. In short, VV devices will consume more battery life for a given power output than a single voltage unregulated device.
Then take into account the million and one little variables like carto rez, how long you take a drag, how long you wait between drags, how much you actually vaped overall, voltage setting, coil design, device internal loss, etc etc and you will understand why it's nearly impossible to say "this battery should last this long" There is just no accurate way to do it.
Just as an example, I can burn through 18650 2000mAh AW IMRs in about half the time some people in this thread said their 1300mAh batteries lasted them. With certain juice, device, and vaping style my little 800mAh 18350s can literally last me all day. "Vaping time" is a horrible way to express any sort of information, because really no information is being expressed at all. Just a very personalized and specialized number that means almost nothing to everyone else.
I hope that didn't come off too much like a rant, and it wasn't directed at anyone, just a little commentary on something that I constantly see referenced in YT vids and on forums all over "vaping time' just doesn't stand up as any sort of legitimate factor, IMO of course.
What would be a more accurate way of measuring "vape time" would be recording the actual number of minutes the device is powered up under load. Basically add together every second that the carto is firing and that would give you a total "vape time"
Even that would still depend on settings, carto/atty design and resistance, but it would be far more accurate and universal, one person's results would actually be useful and able to translate to someone else.
If you think there is something seriously wrong with the battery, you could also do the math and see if the battery is lasting as long as it theoretically should. With the battery voltage, ohms of the carto, and capacity rating you could work backwards and calculate how many minutes/seconds the carto should be able to fire for before the battery reaches cutoff voltage, then attempt to keep a running count of actual vaping time and compare that to your calculated run time.
Although, this would be much more difficult to do with a VV device, the inefficiency of the design could throw your numbers off.
