Someone experienced help please!

Heeeeelp please

I use the HS VAPOURMX eGO-ce4 and I am using the iBreathe candy floss flavored (mid strength) liquid. I want a little help this is my first vape and I don't wanna break the thing and I want to extend the battery life for as long as possible. So, bearing that in mind;

1) What tips do you have to help me extend this battery life. I have no idea how long the battery will last yet but had the intention of sticking it on charge overnight so its ready in the morning, is there any major problems with this?

2) Im getting a lot of condensation on the interior mouthpiece its not a massive problem but not the best i'm putting it down to the low price but should I clean it say at night?

3) What angles can I hold this at, I like to smoke lying down but i don't know if that's alright given the model etc, more costly models I have seen to be fine to hold at almost any angle and work but I don't want to shorten the life of it.

4) Bear with me with this one (i'm a little strange I mean i'm the kind of person who doesn't mix the end of one bottle of coke with the start of another) but what do I need to know about the cleaning of it? Do I vape until all of the liquid is fully gone or just til there is a little left? I don't mind refilling it with the same flavor but I don't fancy candyfloss + peaches&mint if you get my drift so will it cause a big problem or is it just something I can disregard?
Do I puff til there's nothing left or is it like dry boiling a kettle? Who knows -not me

Sorry about the length of this but yah i'm a n0ob at this so any input would be amazing.

There really isn't a while lot that can be done to extend battery aside from not using it constantly or using different resistance/voltage (if adjustable voltage) so that you're not using more current. You'll have to figure what your normal usage is and just do it to figure battery length, so I suggest you let it die out before a charge so that you know how long you can really go without a charge. Some ego devices have different color indicators to show you charge left, not familiar with the one you've mentioned so don't know if it has it or not.

Condensation will happen. You can wipe it up whence you feel like.

The angle is based on wicking. As long as the wicks are in liquid you can vape at that angle. But keep in mind not to do too severe of an angle ie you don't need to whole top of coil head (if top coil type) covered as that can lead to liquid being draw into head and thus flooding. The same should be said about a bottom coil as well, keep the liquid at the wicks. Don't invert a bottom coil and try to vape it...

You can fill whenever you want. Ideally the goal is to keep the wick/coil wet so that you do not get a dry vape. Dry vapes lead to bad burnt taste. And then you have to replace it the head or clearomizer etc.
If you want to know how to clean a clearo, check you tube.

Do not get in the habit of charging batteries while sleeping or when not in the area. Accidents have happened this way. I always check mine periodically to make sure they aren't hot.

DO NOT charge your battery overnight. Although it may or may not be safe, it's just not a good idea. Keep the charger in close range and charge when not it use. I'd say a maximum of 5 hrs at a time.

Also, do not use until completely gone. There's a sweet spot you will learn eventually on when best to re-fill your tank. If you intentionally try to puff until it's completely gone, you will most likely get a dry hit (which isn't fun), or you will burn your wick. You will learn the correct time to do this.

I googled your battery and clearo and looks like it's a 650 mah. That should last you 4-7 hours on a full charge depending on how you vape.

I would suggest getting a 2nd battery with ego-510 connection cuz you always need more than one battery.

You can screw the clearomizer off the battery, wash it out, let it dry (wet coils take too long to get going again) on a paper towel overnight, then refill in morning. You should have a couple of clearomizers, next time get an evod/t3s/protank or something that has replaceable coils, then you only have to buy coils instead of whole new clearomizer, and they are also easier to clean because you can take them apart.

For a 2nd battery I would suggest a joyetech ego twist or a genuine vision spinner or a innokin itaste VV3. They cost more but are worth the price.

do not charge your battery unattended (while sleeping).

you may vape at any angle you like, as long as there's enough ejuice in your clearomizer and it is getting to the wicks.

Have fun, but get backups for everything! condensation is normal, you can use a qtip or tissue to wipe that out. I wipe off my drip tip several times a day for hygiene anyway

When I started with an ego/clearo set up, I could almost never put it down. So I was always spinning it and playing with it (essentially keeping the wick saturated) and almost never got a dry hit unless the coil was bad.

Im not saying it always has to be spinning the a washing machine, but if you are laying down watching tv just give it a twirl every few pulls or something like that.

You will be able to taste when its not fully saturated pretty quickly into use. (you should be fine at any angle with a ce4)

Most ego style batteries have a "shelf life" of 300 charges...that's full charge and discharge cycles. In reality, some last longer some not-so-much. Most battery experts would say that you will extend the life if you don't always completely drain the battery, but try to keep it topped off so to speak...charging more often. Experts would also advise against unattended charging (at night for instance) although I would venture to say that we have all done it. You never know when it will start to fail...or, in my case commit suicide by diving into a full cup of coffee...or jumping off the roof while hanging xmas lights. Backups are strongly suggested.

CE4 style clearos can probably be used at almost any angle, but I would try to hold it upright most of the time. If you hold it upside down or even sideways all of the time, you might get some flooding.

CE4s are also meant to be disposable. You can vape them down pretty low as long as you are able to keep the wicks wet (do the swirly dance). If you want to switch flavors, you will likely need to flush it really well with hot water (or even vodka or everclear) and allow to dry. Unfortunately these take quite awhile to dry if they are not the kind you can completely disassemble...perhaps a day or two. It would be better to have more than one available.

About Li (Lithium ion) batteries. There is no "memory" effect like other rechargeables so you can charge them any time you feel like. The 300 cycles mentioned means 300 times from empty to full and if you recharge when it is not empty it only counts for the amount you charge. That is if you always charge when it is halfway down you will get about 600 recharges (maybe a little less but it's a lot better than worrying about having to charge at an inconvenient time).

Get a second battery and charge one while you are watching TV. It's a convient amount of time and you are there.

If you want to extend your battery life, get one of those USB Stingers. It may have a different name, but it's basically just a button with the circuit board and Ego threads. It's attached to a USB cord and you plug it into your computer. Most of the ones I've seen on Ebay and elsewhere have short cords, about three feet. You might be able to use an extension, but I haven't tried that. I just built my own from an old Ego battery and put a six foot cord on it. They don't work with wall adapters unless the adapter is high amperage. I'm at my computer most of the day and I chain vape constantly. So, having it plugged into my computer only makes sense. I only use my batteries when I go out or work around the house.
Now, as far as when to refill. I tend to refill when I'm almost empty or when I want a totally different flavor or when I'm celebrating lasting another day (I'm old). Usually if I want another flavor I just empty what's left into my "Mystery" bottle. It's a leftover bottle from some juice I bought in the 1800s. Since it's always getting something different added to it the flavor changes constantly. When I'm in one of those really weird moods and I just gotta have "something different" I grab the "Mystery" bottle. The taste is always a surprise! Kinda like eating a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get. And variety is the "Spice of Life".

whats the difference of charging your battery for 8 hours at night as compared to charging the battery for 8 hours during the day???

 

[b7u3angel]

I think the difference is safety. Charging at night while asleep you cant monitor it as you would during the day. Other than that I dont see a difference.[emoji2]
