I have two 18650 Sony VTC4s that Im using with a sigelei 150 watt box. What battery percentage is the lowest I can vape at without any issues? Right now Im at about 33 Watts on an Orchid V6 with a 0.6 ohm dual coil.

I last charged them on Friday and their at 66 percent now. Havent gone below 50 yet and just wanna know what to expect and if ill be able to continue vaping normally if it dips down real low.

Thanks

From what I understand, the overall life of a lithium cell is extended if you charge it frequently, rather than letting it go until depletion. However, most regulated devices stop firing when the battery reaches ~ 3.2 volts of available power, and it is perfectly safe to do so. Check your user manual for your particular device's cutoff point, but the 150 is loaded with safety features so it should be fine to vape until the device shuts off.

I have the exact setup with an Atlantis on top.The Sig 150 uses so much more power vaping at the same wattage than the 100 plus. I am at 66% as I type and usually recharge at 50%. I've read somewhere on here you really shouldn't go much lower than 50%.

Your batteries will last longer if you do this. Half charged is around 3.7V no-load which is what I always do with mine in mechanical mods. I don't worry about it if I discharge one to 3.2V once in a while, but if you do it all the time you lose battery life in the long run.
