Smok V8 Baby brand new.. battery charge problems

[Robinp]

I have a brand new smok V8 Baby, I charged the device until it was fully charged and the battery was dead after 2 hours. The device was on the charger for about 6 hours. This has happened every time I have charged it. What is the normal length of time the battery should last for?

I believe that is a 2000mah battery running the Baby Beast tank. Depending on how many hits and how long they are, that may be all the longer you will get out of it. I have the Stick V8 (3000mah) with the Big Baby Beast and get about 3 hours out of a charge, so sounds about right. That's probably not what you wanted to hear, but IMHO, these are not devices to get one through a day of vaping unless you get more then one.

Is the battery going dead or discharging at idle or are you using the device for 2 hours?

I am using the device on and off for 2 hours

A 2000mah battery using the .15Ω - .25Ω heads included in the kit will result in around 6 - 7 minutes of actual run time (the amount of time the button is depressed), 70 - 85 puffs depending on length of inhale.

From the sounds of things, that sounds about right. Is your preference tube/stick mods, or would you be into a box mod? A dual battery removable, rechargeable box mod might be better suited for your vaping/power needs. There are startup costs, including an external charger, at least two sets of married batteries for easy switching them out, and the mod itself. Batteries and a charger are both fairly inexpensive, but you want to make sure you get authentic batteries from a reputable supplier as well as a decent charger (which can be purchased quite inexpensively especially if it's two bay) might want to check out Mooch's blog | E-Cigarette Forum, there's a table that will give you various battery specs for vaping and a list of reputable suppliers... Every time I try to copy the table, I fail, but it's easy to find.

Your other option as others have said is to have two (or more) smok sticks in rotation so that you can get through the day while charging your other batteries. That sounds a bit unwieldy to me, but whatever works best for you. It does sound like your wattage needs are higher than what that battery can deliver, though.

Best of luck,

Welcome and glad you joined.
I have provided a little more information which might help choosing/evaluating batteries.

Hi and welcome. That does sound about right for the battery in that machine.

Welcome to ECF. Shame what your going thru. Did you get it from a shop? Is this your first device?
