Starting lung hits... need more battery life

[aron77]

Long story short I've been off cigarettes and vaping for almost 3 years, smoked for 20 years, and I just dropped my nic from 18 to 12 and now down to 6 (maybe 3 before long) and now I see how people are able to enjoy lung hits because I have always done mouth do lung as lung hits choked me. But now my battery seems to be dying sooner where it used to last me at least until bed time. So I think I'm going to need a new mod and maybe a bigger tank. I have a kbox 50 with a subtank mini that I'm vaping around 30 watts but that 18650 battery is usually dead by about 10:00pm. I also have an istick 30 with a Tobeeco super tank mini (2.5ml) and that one I leave at home for a change of pace because it dies all the time.

As far as the presentation and feel I like the istick better than the kbox so I'm leaning towards just getting an istick 50 as I assume that 4400 mah battery will last me all day (?) and it should fit in the lanyard I have that I use when I ride my motorcycle so I can vape. However I've seen the rx 2/3 and I'm intrigued by it but on the reviews I've seen they have said that you should not charged them on the mod for some reason and I don't want to mess with a battery charger, I like things simple. Other than some leaking I'm ok with the kanger subtank mini but the atomizers are kind of pricey and I wouldn't mind an extra milliliter so I'm open to suggestions on a bigger tank that doesn't leak and has affordable atomizers.

So my criteria is battery life, compact so it will fit in my pocket and in a lanyard so I can vape while I ride, and simple usb charging. Istick 50? Rx 2/3? Other? Feel free to post a link to a great deal on any of these items.

Look at maybe the Therion (Thereon) that uses a 26650 cell, they are generally rated 25amps CDR and about 4400mah, the iStick50watts are hit or miss, some have had charging and autofire problems, if you don't want to mess with an external charger then single battery or internal battery are all you are left with.

If you don't mind innokin, their iSub Apex is the bomb. I am a super klutz and its held up wonderfully for me, doesn't leak (as long as all the orings are in place). 5 atomizers are roughly 10 bucks considering which online store you visit.
As for the mod/battery you mention, it should last you all day just fine. My Cool Fire IV plus is 3300mAh and lasts thru my heavy vape sessions (55 watts on a .5ohm clapton coil while chain vaping) just fine. I'm kinda intrigued about that one you mentioned tho.

How about a kbox 70 with an Arctic tank. Thats what I'm rocking right now .4000 mah should last all day and built in batteries. Vape on

If it uses a 26650 battery how am I going to get any better life out if it than my Kbox that uses a 26650 battery?

A 26650 is larger in diameter than the 18650 you are used to, 26650 = 26mm wide 65mm tall the 0 means round, 18650 = 18mm wide, 65mm tall the 0 means round. A 26650 being it has that much more width though just as tall as an 18650 most times you see they have a larger Mah rating, generally 4000 to 4400mah over a good decent 18650 has 2500 to 3000 mah, so you are gaining at least another 1400mah to run during the day with which is more run time between charges. Downside to this larger Mah capacity is they take a bit longer to charge. Your first post stated your kbox 50watt uses and 18650, thus I suggested a mod that uses the larger 26650.

With your pre-requisites you are going to have to make some sort of trade off. I have a couple single 26650 mods and they will last a whole day of vaping at .5 ohms. The downside is they are clunky in the pocket. I have a dual 18650 Therion that I really like that is fairly small for a dual battery mod. Downside is 75 watts and a bit expensive. It lasts me 2 days on a single charge and is a super nice mod. Eciggity has them for about $100 through Labor Day.

I drip so have no recommendation on tanks.

I hate big mods. No 26650 or two batteries mods for me. Mods are really cheap now (Pico goes for $25). I'd better have 3 (or more) mods in rotation than use big, bulky mod.

I've got a Tesla invader III that's rather small for a dual 18650 mod240watt max doesn't have a USB port though but a charger for those batteries are dirt cheap right now,and it's incredibly durable I'm a heavy equipment operator it's seen some rough use,but if that's to big I've also got a a kangertech culpti that is great but they both go all day without changing a battery as for tanks I like the nautilus I really like it or my aerotank

The Therion is a dual-18650 device.

All the single 18650 mods will run for about the same amount of time. To get more run time more batteries or larger batteries need to be used.

There are a few internal battery mods which advertise +4000mah batteries.

Its a trade off. If you want long run time big and heavy is in the cards.

The current "king of run time" in my mod stable. 2x26650 - 10ml @ 0.15ohm's or basically all weekend on a charge.

FWIW, the Therion is a dual 18650 device.
