So tired of having vaping issues!!

[Robertlhuffman]

I'm new to vamping also but does a ego battery run down while the item is on but in stand by? Meaning turning it on and off between uses. Just trying to get into the community and give my two cents. I'm more than likely wrong but could that be the issue with her battery?

To use up a 1300mah battery in 4 hours would require almost literally incessant chain vaping. I've done that to an 1100mah in that time frame, but I also pretty much chain vaped about 3ml of juice, too. I'm thinking you either have a damaged battery, or aren't getting a full charge. Wall warts or usb plugs for the cigarette lighter sockets in your vehicle to recharge may yield better results.

Yeah, i have some liquids that are a little thin, so much so that i have to turn up the volts to about 4.8 just so the coil doesn't flood. And it doesn't seem to burn the liquid oddly enough. So at 4.8v my spinner 1300 only lasts 4 or 5 hours.

Well by all means if you don't like what you're getting, keep using the same things. You're bound to get different results sooner or later

Now you know why some of us don't use eGo/Spinner type PV's or clearo tanks. But don't be upset, we all had to learn what worked best for us.
I was in seventh heaven when I discovered dripping atomizers, others found cartomizer tanks to be their perfect vape, and some found that they loved clearos, or RBA's, or ------------ The list of options is practily endless.

Your Spinner is more than likely is working fine. Charging takes time ... that's why you need more than one.

Not turning it off and on between uses I mean sorry lol

as far as leaking tanks, what PG/VG ratio are you using?? What nicotine level are you at too?

Nah, the on/off feature is there just to prevent accidental activation, you know, if it's in your bag or pocket or something.

I have a 1300mah vision spinner that I charge on my computer simply for convenience, and yes, it.does seem to take forever to charge. However, by 1300mah spinner will last about 2 days on a single charge with a v3 clearo at 1.5 ohms of resistance (yes, I chain vape) and a bit less if I put my TW-DDA mini on it, mainly due to the change in resistance.

A couple questions though:
1. What is the resistance rating of the coil/head you are using and what is your spinner set on for voltage?

2. When filling your tank (since I'm not familiar with your specific one) are you getting juice in the airhole or overfilling it?

3. Are you letting your battery charge fully? I have sometimes had to unplug and replug the charger to find out that it was not fully charged.

I would agree about the youtube videos for each tank, I still do the same before every new piece of hardware I buy. About flooding I would guess you are simply overfilling your tank, I do the same thing a few times a week lol.

About the charger differences between the wall, pc, and car it's exactly right. The wall charger is, in reality a transformer that brings the voltage and amperage to the correct level for that battery (ever try using the wrong plug-in for something because you lost the right one? It's like that, only worse).
The lithium ion battery in your spinner is the same kind I use in my mechanical mod and the same that was used in electric cars that caught fire (until properly handled). Take care of it and it's very safe; don't go to bed with it (or any li-on battery) charging unless you like the idea of a fire/batteries cracking open or exploding.

Those accidents are very rare if the trickle charge feature works correctly but they are still possible. Think of how hot your phone or laptop gets while charging and using it...

Anyway, good luck and happy vaping I'm sure we'll all be happy to help if you have any more questions.

Many people continue to use an eGo battery setup and are happily satisfied with them. They don't see a need to upgrade to a better setup.

Others do need to upgrade. I found my niche with a variable voltage mod and cartotanks. I'm completely satisfied with that.

The market for e-cigarettes (vaping) is literally brand spanking new. New products are being developed seemingly on a monthly basis. That doesn't mean you have to buy every new shiney which comes on the market. But we've all had to do some experimentation to find what works best for our own personal needs.

For bottom coils tanks and thicker liquids, like those with a higher VG content, you may have to take out a flavor wick or parts of one or two in order for the juice to wick to the coils properly. For liquid that is too thin, I'd venture a guess and say you are using a liquid that higher in PG content then VG content. May I ask what brand you are using? Are you attached to that brand, or are you willing to try another?

 

[Tinkiegrrl]

You may also be able to add some boiled cotton to the flavor wicks in bottom coil tanks to slow the flow of it. If taking away flavor wicks works to speed it, then adding could perhaps slow it.

I don't want to overwhelm you, but there's a relationship between the voltage you use and the resistance of your coils to how long your battery will last...it's not just voltage. For example, lower voltage with higher resistance will draw more power (amps) from your battery than, for example, lower voltage with lower resistance. It's not super important, but it has an impact on your battery life.

4 hours seems a bit low for usage time to me, but the charge times seem right. 2-3 hours is typical for me, on a computer (using .5mA) or a wall wort (using .5MA). Some USB ports provide less power, though, so that would increase your charge times. I don't recommend using a USB hub as these almost always reduce your power input significantly. Laptops also usually feature reduced power outputs to help with battery life.

Batteries do have a memory, too. It's best to drain it all the way down and then recharge. Topping off, as it were, over time will affect the batteries understanding of where it's top and lowest levels are. I'm inclined to think, though, that you might have a bad (or a better term, "less good") battery. If possible, I'd try to exchange it.

What I really wanted to say is...why don't you have two batteries? Charge one, vape one? Or three? Charge, charge, vape. Or seven, like my foolish self? Charge, charge, charge, spare, spare, spare, vape. I don't have battery problems, I've found.

Good luck figuring things out!

The problem could be the USB charger itself. Is the charger one that came with your battery or one you've had for another battery? I ask this because I had an X6 with the charger that came with it. I later bought a Joytech 1100 mhp battery and charger. If I use the X6 charger on my Joytech battery it takes forever to charge and it only seem to take a surface charge (it doesn't fully charge). When I use the Joytech charger the Joytech battery charges fully in about four hours, and lasts a good day and a half. The problem may be the charger you're using.

Are you sure???? LOL I'm new to vaping and already itching to have a shiny collection of new toys hehe

Yes, I'm sure. I'll be vaping for 2 years this April. After 6 months vaping I found my ideal setup with a Provari variable voltage mod and cartotanks. I haven't bought any major gear in over 6 months, just juice & replacement cartomizers.

There, fixed that for ya Bad.

 

[timm491xxx]

Get a mechanical mod and a dripping atomizer. Simple and lots of fun!

 

[AmandaD]

Don't give up! a 1300 battery should last longer than 4 hours, but be aware that almost all of us have backups for our backups - one battery isn't enough (what if it dies, etc). Tanks can misbehave, but most issues can be solved with a good cleaning and carefully putting back together Lots of people love and stick to simple Ego setups, so don't think you can't get this to work! I just started a couple of friends on them, and a month later they are still happily vaping away on these setups with no problems at all. And they're using simple CE4 clearomizers - the disposable kind! I may have missed it, but did you say what kind of clearos you're using?

 

[Laura5884]

Thank you so much, I did go on u-tube and watched a video about cleaning and dry burning and did this and my tank is now working like a charm!!

Well, unless my current financial status of a fixed income changes, not so likely to change.

Lucky you! I bought an ego-t starter kit, then a 10pk of colored CE4's for back up. Now I have an iTaste vv 3.0 on the way and am drooling over the iTaste mvp shine! omg they are so pretty LOL I'm not sure I can help myself.
Next I'm going to start sampling flavored juices, so far in the past 35 days I've only been using one.
