Out growing my eGo, help!

[Bella Chic]

LOL NCC...ya spending the food budget on vaping can leave you a bit hungry....for food any way LOL. I actually think 1 battery might last me a whole day but we shall see when I get it. An eGo or Riva battery lasts me all day plus some and from what I've read and talked with David about I think this is the perfect choice for me I'm glad your enjoying your P18.

 

[Zen~]

Bella, if a 650 eGo lasts you all day, you will be fine with a 16340, with one exception... The eGo, while not hitting as hard as the 16340 initially, does vape consistently across the discharge cycle, whereas the 16340 will taper off from fully charged to the low voltage cutoff point.

So.. You guys think I'd be happier with the p18? My concern was the size, I can't really grasp the true size between the p16 and p18.. This is going to be my ONLY pv, my all day vape in and out of the house. I'm sticking to my p16 order unless the difference is minimal. Also I ordered the 750mah batteries, and I only use lr attys, is that bad??

 

[JonnyVapΣ]

I dunno. I don't really consider anything bad as long as it works good enough...if that makes any sense.

There are other things in (my) life that I want perfect. My PV...good enough is good enough. The chrome on my Harley...

 

[TurboJesus]

Cool. Think I'm just freaking out a bit since I want to get it right the first time, I hate making mistakes that can't be fixed instantly!! I want the best I can get, and I feel the Precise is just that.

Is the p18 significantly larger than the p16, since this is my every day vape it's leaving the house with me always. Is the p18 still travel size?

 

[Zen~]

I get about 4 hours out of a 16340 with an LR atty... Less if I really hit it hard.

how do you vape though? It's different for everyone.. My main concern is that this is my everyday carry.. I was worried it would be to big for that.

TJ, does your ego last all day? If not... Then how long?

It's roughly like holding a roll of nickels in you hand. Except it's roughly an inch longer and feels smooth as silk. My fingers are kinda long but I can completely hide a roll of nickels in my fist. The P18, held the same way, leaves an inch of the end exposed. This is minus atomizer.
There's a comparison photo of the three models on the Super T web site.

I've changed my mind about my P18 being primarily for "at home" use.

There are pictures on the Super-T website comaparing them and here in his subforum. He also lists the length in mm I believe. I think the P-18 is significantly larger then the P-16. The P-16 will make a great all round home and about vape and I believe you made the right choice. 16340 batteries are very easy to get and there are many types available (I prefer AW). I have a P-10 and a P-18. I use a SD MKI a lot when I am at work because the P10 batts don't last long enough (and don't have enough punch) and the P18 is to big to carry in a pocket (IMO).

Yes, the eGo did in fact last me all day. My routine was fresh battery in the morning, switch at night

Well, if a 650mah ego lasts you all day, then a 16340 will do just fine. I cant imagine making past noon on a 16340... I am a power vaper, for sure. Every time I've used a 16340 PV, I go through 4 batteries a day.

I'll be using the 750mAh AW's , from what forcedfuel50 told me they're "true" mah , unlike the eGo batteries. Shoul dlast longer than my eGo currently does.. or should I say did. The reason why I switched my order to P16 is that I don't need a lightsaber to carry around

The P18 is much smaller than your imagination is making it out to be, if you're comparing it to a light saber... The P16 is a pretty small PV...

Go to a photo store or radio shack and ask to see a CR123 battery... That will give you a reference you can put in your hand.

 

[TurboJesus]

So in your honest opinion, do you think the P18 is an every day carry PV. The precise is going to be my one and only PV, I'll be carrying it everywhere with me

 

[Zen~]

I would carry it... I carry a buzz a lot...

If you think about it, The p18 is 4mm longer than a 100 cigarette, did you every carry a pack of 100s? A pack of smokes and a bic lighter is over 4 times the size of a P18...

 

[TurboJesus]

how much longer in inches is it ( with atty/tip ) than an eGo?

 

[Zen~]

As you can see by my banner, I ave no eGo to measure, but I looked it up and the ego is 116mm to the tip, the p16 is 104mm with no atty... So I would imagine it will be about 125 mm... Or less... So the difference is about 10mm... 3/8 of an inch or so...

 

[TurboJesus]

I'm about to switch my oder back to the P18.. thats only 5" with an atty..
