opinions on this Torpedo?

[Marvin & Sennie]

ugh... That could get expensive all on it's own!!

M&S,

Here is the thing with Batts, they have an internal resistance, so when that starts to rise they dont perform as well, they will still put out 4.2V but it wont last as long and that internal resistance starts to Rise, so keeping like 4-6 in rotation is a good way to use them, you shouldnt take a Batt right out of your mod and slam it right into the charger, or right out of the charger and right into the mod, this is like constant use charging then draining, Resting them in between use and charging is the very best way to run & charge Batts it will keep that internal resistance lower and they will last longer, this is why I say to not only run 2 Batts,,, up to you but what I say is true

Actually you wont get 3-4 more hours between the 1600mAh and 2250 I believe, quote me if I'm wrong, but David at Super T did a test on this, I think you can view that here =http://supertmanufacturing.com/id70.html

Yeah, together that's about how much we vape with our ego-c's. I need to keep this as low cost as possible because we do have to eat the next couple of weeks! lol

I don't own a zmax, so I have no idea how efficient it is, and that makes a difference. I have a Young June Lavatube, It's a nice device, but it eats batteries. I get 7-8 hours off a 1600mAh battery with it. I have a L-Rider Lavatube (same thing as that Torpedo you're looking at), and it gets 10-12 hours from that same battery. My Provari will usually get 14-15 hours. So the device makes a difference. I'd expect that zmax to be somewhere between the L-Rider and the Provari as far as battery life. If you get a 2000mAh you should be able to add 3-4 hours to those numbers.

That's vaping 5-6ml per day. Just as a point of reference.

Actually it is cheaper in the long run I have found S&M,,, I have tested this personally, and rotating 6 Batts is worth it, as is spending a bit more for Panasonic and AW,,,, not only for there run times, performance, but there safety record, remember we raise these Mods up to are face a couple hundred or more times a day, believe me you will be much safer running AW & Panasonic IMR's then you will Any other Batts made, period,,, and running a rotation of like 5-6 of them is the way to go. just my experience over using the same two Batts and constantly charging them and draining them..

Honestly, its her 1st big mod and she has other mods to use as well. She'd probably be extremely happy with the Zmax from Madvapes, a charger from madvapes, and 2 AW IMR batteries from Super-T... Sorry Sennie I don't want to speak over you. I think you'd be happy with what I've just suggested. Heres a link to the batteries: Super T Manufacturing, Innovative manufacturer of electronic cigarette products. you'll be happy with any of the AW IMR red batteries on that page. Get the Zmax before it sells out, along with an 18650 or multi charger from madvapes and I promise you'll be beyond happy! I've been watching the numbers on the Zmax for 2 days and in 2 days MV has sold +/- 200 Zmaxes, and the in-stock numbers are dropping by the hour, so this is the last push to order for the sale everyone.

No battery is 100% safe, EVER,,, IMR Batts dont explode, non IMR CAN,,, IMR will just get hot and possibly push out some gas, watch here what an IMR will do = Callies Kustoms IMR Battery and AW short circuit observations - YouTube Note they are directly short circuited for 13-14 minutes and wont explode,,, a regular lithium Battery doesnt work the same and can explode possibly,there of a different chemistry make up,, stick with IMR, especially as a beginner vapor,, always keep your contact points clean as well,,, a little swab of alcohol on your battery charger contacts to clean them as well when you notice dark spots on the charger contacts, clean them !

well its not like we take them off the charger, throw them into a radio and keep it on until they die, then charge them and repeat for days on end lol. We throw them into our PV, use them for 5 minutes and leave them alone for 30.. so they aren't getting that constant charge/use that your talking about, right?

Uhm, Wrong,,, my mod ( Mods) never sit for 30 Min, I vape like a freight train, but never the less you still should rest your batts before and after the charge, and not have continuous use on a Batt,,, do as you wish of course and to each there own I always say,,, I'll keep my Batts in rotation always and have at least 6 of each kind I'm using in that rotation Between 16340 pairs, 18490's and 18650's which I mostly use I probably have 20 of each .
