Did we discuss this already? because my minds done in', but did I ask what you all thought of someone who almost chain vapes, (meaning: i'm not going to admit completely that i chain vape), but how long do you think the 18350 batts would last me? like 2 hours? or maybe more?

thoughts?

Im a chain vapor too. I vape probably 6-10ml a day. Id say it should last about 6-8 hours ,maybe a little more. 18490's i get about 8-10 hours and 18650's i get about a day.Thats just a rough estimate. I vape at 5v with a boge sr most of the time.

I know this is apple vs orange,but the AW IMR 18350(700mah)lasts me around 5 hrs. in a different vv device that uses them
I use a 2ohm carto tank at 4..2v
I was thinking the chain vaping thing. I guess the best way to gauge it would be how many tanks. I think you'd be able to get through 3-4ml of juice pretty easily, but that's just a guess. Most of my mods are stacked

I"m going to time it, i'll put down the time right when i start and then when the battery dies, i'll jot the time down. this will be fun.

If you find your battery time isn't exactly what you were hoping for, you can extend it depending on what gear your vaping with.

If you use a higher ohm carto/atty at a higher voltage vs a lower ohm carto/atty with a lower voltage to come out to the exact same wattage (heat), it will use less amps and make the battery last longer. I'm not sure exactly how much longer, but I get almost 2 days off an 18650 (1.5 to 2 ml per day) on a boge 3.0 carto at 4.8 - 5.0v and slightly less than a day if I use the 1.8 ohm atty at 3.6 - 3.8v. Oh and my days are usually 18-20 hrs long.

i'm on the dcc/tanks, the map tank thingy with the dcc inside. i'm on the lavatube right now, man i hate the lt with dcc/tanks, thats why i was soo excited about the prov mini, the LT lowers the voltage on almost every puff. pathetic piece of machinery if you ask me...anyway, where was i?..oh yah, so always on dcc/tanks, 6ml or 3ml, and i dont have a choice right now, i'm stuck at about on average 3.5 volts. but i want to be around 4.7 volts. now whats the math on that oh great one'? heh

Depends on if you have the 1.5 ohm or the 2.5 ohm map tank. I'll give you both. 1.5 ohms at at 4.7v would be 14.72 watts (7.36 per coil) for a draw of 3.133 amps. To reflect on this, I pull 1.6 amps on the 3.0 sc boge at 4.8v with 7.68 watts. Essentially the same heat but battery will last twice as long, kinda makes sence since you've got two coils running.

Using the 2.5 ohm map tank, you get 1.8 amps draw for 8.8 watts (4.4 per coil) and wouldn't vape to well, have to up the voltage more.

Good news is that you probably have the 1.5 variety and the new provari has a 3.5 amp limit, so you should find it vapes well, only battery life will be shorter. I've predicted about 10 hrs use on the 18350, so you should be able to get around 5 if you vaped at the same rate as me. Not knowing that, I'd say your range will be somewhere between 3-4 hrs on that dual coil tank. I'm making some large assumptions though, so please forgive me if I'm way way wrong. :blink:

OH my gaaa, your scary. wow. thats impressive, not the volts but YOU.

So best to get the 1.5ohms. okay thats what i'll do. i actually got the higher ones 2.5, because the 1.5's suckkked with the LT

Thanks Envith!

Anytime. :D You can still use the 2.5 just up the voltage. Let me check...

Yeah, so with the 2.5 version, try 6volts. Again, high ohm = longer battery life. So at 6 volts, you get 14.4 watts (7.2 per coil) at 2.44 amps. Too bad you couldn't try 6.1, put you closer to the same wattage as 4.7v on the 1.5 ohm.

If you like it at 6, no reason to get the 1.5 unless you want to push more heat. I would then suggest trying out a scc and find a tank system to match so your battery lasts a while longer.

Nah, not if you have a 2.5 dcct. I do suggest that you set your provari at 3.7 to start and do a ohm check (Ao on the provari menu, think it's 13 clicks in) and verify before raising your voltage that high. It's all about the watts on how hot the vape gets.

With that said, I should clarify one thing. The dcc uses smaller coils while a scc uses a larger coil. Think of it as the small and larger burners on a stove. Even with the wattage the same, they will be different. So work your way up slowly till your happy.
