The best batteries for me?

[DaveP]

Most of us are looking for something that will give us a couple of days on a set of batteries. I vape at 10W and still get only 6 or 8 hours, maybe 10 hours out of a dual or triple battery mod, including the RX200S. I can get almost that from a single battery istick Pico, so the bigger and more feature rich the mod, the more power is obviously consumed by the mod's electronics.

The chip in the rx200 and rx200s is not more feature rich than the chip in the Pico. And the size of the mod itself has no bearing. It's possible that the buck circuitry and/or the multiple-battery implementation isn't as efficient as it should be. However, I easily get more than a day out of my rx200 and I vape at 40-70w most often (of course, the rx200s has a bigger screen, though I can't believe that it would draw that much power). The same is true for my Smok Alien, though that one discharges the batteries lower than most other mods.

You'd think that 2 or three batteries would provide 2 or three times the vaping hours over a single battery mod. I guess puff count and puff style weigh in on charge life as much as mod electronics design.

I have been using LG HG2 mostly. I've also used married Samsung 25R and Sony VTC4 in my 2 and 3 battery mods. You'd think that 8 hours of vaping in a Pico would be 16 hours in a dual battery Koopor Plus 200W or even longer in the triple cell Wismec RX200S vaping all at 10 watts, but I don't see the extrapolation of vaping time in the comparison.

I can get all day and a few hours into the next sometimes on the multiple battery devices or a short day with a single LG HG2 in the Pico.

I just charged up my new Sony VTC6's and put one in the Pico. I'm hoping for a couple hours more vape time from the VTC6.
