Running down my 1000 mAh eGo Twist too fast

[Susaz]

As the day progresses I need more nic and more voltage. For three days in a row I've run down my eGo Twist 1000 mAh empty in barely 4 hours. Completely dead, the button blinks and will fire no more. I'm vaping with a Kanger T2 at about 3.8 v with a 1.8 ohm head. I wonder if the batt is defective or if I'm vaping too much. The numbers don't add up.

Wow I have a 900mah clone from vaporbeast that lasts at least 8/9 hours and I hit it all day. I use a vivi nova with a 2.4 head at 4.2 v.

Well using a lower resistance carto will kill the battery much quicker. Low resistance stuff produces a much higher amp than a combo of standard or high resistance with higher voltage does. Not saying this is the main reason but i'm sure it's part of it.

4 hours is way low for that

I've got a 1000mah twist paired with a Stardust V2cc @ 1.8ohm. I take.it to work and vape constantly. Still has a charge after I get home
So that's 9hrs. Sounds like something is wrong with yours. I get well over 4hrs with my 650mah twist.

That's why I said it's not the main cause but most likely is part of it.

 

[klynnn]

Could it be a 650 and not a 1000?

 

[Cyrene]

I was going to say, are you sure it's not the 650? That's about what I get from my 650's.
I have never even run my new 1000's dry yet, and I vape all day on one.

 

[Kcast]

Good point about the 650 y'all! It might be, didn't even think about that. And OP may mistake the 650 for 1000 due to the twist being longer than average. The 1000 is LONG.

 

[Susaz]

I'm sure it's a 1000 or 900. The size is way longer than the standart 1000, the pass 1000 and the 650 twist. Here's the comparison. A regular 1000, a pass and the Twist.

 

[klynnn]

Well then it's messed up and not your fault. Try new supplier or return it.

Are you chain vaping? How many toots do you take during that period, and how long are the draws? I know a number of people who really hit their Twists hard with lower-res devices at higher voltages and they only get 4-6 hours on a 1000mah. I get about a full 10 hours with mine doing 10 to 15 3 to 4 second toots per hour on standard res gear at about 3.7v

I have 2 1000 maH twists, 1 650 maH twist, 2 650 maH ego C's and 1 650 maH Riva - none of them last very long if I chain vape, even using 2.4 ohm devices on them. And, I mostly vape at between 3.7 to 4.2 volts on the twists.

I get only 3 to 4 hours on the 1000's and only 1.5 hrs on the 650's.

 

[jazzbo]

Vaping style has a lot to do with it for sure. If I'm out at a club or whatever and I'm really hitting the Twist more often than I normally do at work or at home, I drop from about 10 hours down to about 5.

I chain vape my 1000 Twist using a LR carto & I agree that the charged time dies within 4-6 hrs. I do rotate it with the ego-c pass-thru to extend it's life, but always make sure a fully charged one is handy if I need to run out of the house. Also, using since using the LR carto, I generally have the Twist set at approx. 3.8 - this seems to give me a little more vape time, however, I never get a full day out of it.

 

[njay23]

I go through at least 3 twist batteries during the day. Usually start with a 1000mah and then 2 900mah. sometimes I start a 4th if I'm up late.

I also had a problem with one of my chargers not charging up the batteries all the way before going green.

 

[Acroma]

The only time I get batteries that stop holding a charge like they used to is when I use the charger in my truck. It destroys batteries. You haven't used the charger through usb in a cigarette lighter have you?

 

[Susaz]

I sometimes chain vape, specially watching TV or at the computer. It could be. Not very long draws, specially when the head is clean and wicking properly. The charger works fine, no, I haven't plugged it to the car.

 

[Buggs5347]

I believe usually, folks with variable volt devices use 2.4 or higher ohm heads. The lower resistance was designed to be used on the non vv's to simulate higher wattage. They do drain the batteries faster. Not that you cannot use them on the vv's, it's just not necessary. So, the combination of the LR head and chain vaping will really drain it fast.

yea i've noticed my 1000mah twists are getting shorter and shorter between charges over the last 2 weeks, i chain vape them in rotation, 2 1000mah, and a 650mah, im probably getting 5-7 hours off one 1000mah batt, the 650 about 3 hours, this is all constant use, hell if i can get 3 months out of them before they croak im happy, gives me an excuse to mod shop
