Short life in batteries 510 and 901

[trog100]

my (theory) figure puff counts are probably optimistic.. i thought that when i wrote them..

the true run time is probably less than 8 minutes and the true puff count less than 96...

but a new battery life thread has already popped up.. whats been said in this one yesterday is already old news and now forgotten..

as a purveyor of valid information this place is a god almighty disaster..

a place where the uninformed come to be further uninformed by the more uninformed.. he he

the busier it gets the worse it gets..

Manufacturers are likely to provide a figure closer to total capacity than usable capacity (and that depends on current drain and pattern of use etc.). Not all the capacity can be used.
I'd say it is reasonable to knock off a third of the stated capacity to get a truer real-life usable figure for vaping.
So taking our 150 mAh battery and applying some reality will give us more like 100 mAh.
Current will be over 1A (initially), let's call it 1A. So about 6 mins (360 sec.s).
5 second puffs: 75 puffs.
3 second puffs (more common): 120 puffs.
Even these figures are 'at best' ones, assuming a new battery. 1A+ is somewhat over-spec for this size of battery, so will not last as long as expected (though this depends a bit on how much 'recovery time' the battery has between activations); the battery will really be struggling, get warm etc.
So, real figures are more likely to be
5 second puffs: 50
3 second puffs: 80
between recharges. About 1/2 a pack of analogs equivalent. So the average person will need at least two batteries per day. A very light 'smoker' might get by on one.

i think we need to move away from this theoretical average user..

the bottom line is those one the lighter user side of average can live with these micky mouse inadequate sized batteries...

those on the heavy user side of average cant..

it like saying a car with four seats is big enough for the average user.. it might well be but for anyone that wants to carry six its utterly f-cking useless.. he he..
