I just bought this a couple days ago and I noticed that it is only going up to 65.5W. Is this because I am only using 2 batteries instead of the 3? Haven't quite gotten around to purchasing a third battery. Thinking I may just commandeer the battery from my bf's vape that he never uses lol

I'm still trying to figure out the temp controls and all the different modes on this thing so any tips would be most welcome.

here it is. I've got the Double Vision rda on it.

Wait! If you want to use three batteries, you need to buy three and marry them. Means you always use those three together so that way you know they charge and discharge at the same rate. Same with two batteries. You always use them together. :)

Sorry to be a bother, but I have a question about the batteries.

my bf bought it for me when I was at work, and he just bought two batteries with it and we were just going to buy one more at a later time. So is that a bad decision? Should I just wait a little longer and get three more at the same time? Or can I charge all three to 100% and then use them so they would discharge evenly? In that case, would the ~semi~ older batteries discharge at a faster rate because they had been used longer?

The resistance of the build is too high. With 2 Batteries the maximum voltage output is 6 Volts, your atomizer has 0,55 Ohms.

Volt²/Ohm=Watt

6²=36/0.55=65.5 Watts maximum.

To achieve 150 Watts with two batteries the build resistance may not be over 0.24 Ohms.

With 3 batteries the max. output is 9 volt, then the maximum power with 0.55 Ohms is 147 watts. To achieve 200 watts then, the max. atomizer resistance is 0.4 Ohms.

If you want to use three batteries in the future, you have to use 3 of the exact same specs and condition. Do not simply add one to the two "old" batteries.

    Save those two for when you run it like you have it now and get three for when you want to use the other set up ;)
    Just my opinion :)

    I have a question about the batteries.

    my bf ... bought two batteries with it and we were just going to buy one more at a later time. So is that a bad decision? Should I just wait a little longer and get three more at the same time? Or can I charge all three to 100% and then use them so they would discharge evenly? In that case, would the ~semi~ older batteries discharge at a faster rate because they had been used longer?
    The concept of "marrying batteries" is for this set of batteries to perform and age together as a team when used in a multiple battery mod. The goal is to keep the capacity (mAh), amp rating, and internal resistance of each battery close to being the same as they are used and age. Attempting to match a newer battery with a couple of older batteries is impossible. The older (used) batteries will have different specs than when they were new, even if you are using the same brand and model batteries.

    As a battery ages the mAh of the battery degrades, as the mAh decreases, so does the battery's c rating (amp limit). The battery's internal resistance increases, too.

    The capacity loss reduces their run time directly. The increased internal resistance increases the voltage sag you see from them, effectively decreasing their run time even further. So down the road, your 20A battery may only be a 10A battery.


    In order to be considered a "married set" technically, you must use the same brand and model battery purchased at the same time (same age). You can break up a set of married batteries to be used for a different application, but you can't add a different battery to an already established set.

    Battery Mooch will be doing some scientific tests in the future to see if marrying batteries is essential for multiple battery devices, or if the concept is essentially an old wive's concept.
    Battery marriage...needed or not? Testing starts soon.
