For a while, only a few had them. Heard a rumor that they would no longer be made, but, I never believe what I hear until it actually happens.. But I really hope not!

As my mod pile grows battery life has become a way of life for me.
Chips affect battery life greatly but even if I knew the science all the facts would be secret squirrel stuff anyway so it just comes down to a simple "how long does it last??"
YiHi chips are kinda my average. I have 2 single 18650 Yihi chips, a SX and a D2. They last alright. I never seem to look at them and say "wow that went fast" or "wow that last forever". Just normal average battery life.
The standard for extremely poor is the Kbox. That thing, and all the ones I know of, just eat batteries.
The VCT Mini and now the Radius are in the very poor category. Good enough I guess, prolly what passes for normal these days but just terrible.
The ones that I'm just stunned seem to be DNA chips. This is the secret squirrel stuff. My DNA just lasts foooooooever. I generally have to charge in when its only half dead for my shift. The thing never seems to die.
And now I add the DNA30 in the Solara. I just cannot believe how much I have gotten out of it. Same tank same build killed the Radius in no time. The Solara is still like 75% charged after a couple tanks.
The Solara itself has got to be the greatest deal in the known world right now for people who can get buy with 30w(they also have a 40w). Its big. And slippery as heck. The that chip is spot on nutz perfect and battery life is unreal. Keep in mind this is a used mod with unknown battery usage. It would be hard to say for sure but if both are used at 30w the DNA30 may even be better then the DNA40. Or maybe this is a magic battery. LiPo does tend to be much better for me. The Defender had freakishly long life.
All removable batteries used for testing are Samsung 25r's from fasttech except the Radius which came from Provape.

I know I have mentioned this site a couple of times but check out Liion Wholesale Batteries | Li-ion battery distributor for batteries. The prices are good.
Thx for that -- looks like their price for the 25Rs are comparable to ilumn's, but it's good to have 2 sources with similar prices!!

OMG! I knew Wifey was a whomper (and getting closer to the dark side every day)
but I have been tootling at 12-14 Watts for ages, but when using the SXmini with Nautilus tank, I am seldom ever below 18 Watts. So am I merely a closet Whomper or a... a... um, a "tootle whomper"? (Yes, I have sub-Ohmed, but don't care one way or another - that Nautilus is a 1.8-Ohm coil at 18W and the flavor is perfect).

Maybe you're a part-time whomper, Fuzzy. That's what happened to me after I got my Orchids. Suddenly I was lung hitting at 18-20 watts and loving it. But I still have my tootle puffer tanks that I use, too. It's fun to do both.

Totally agree Linda! Versatility is great for me!
When I'm sitting back having my evening coffee I love hitting my Kayfun or Russian with a 1.4ohm coil at around 14 watts.
Most of the day I'm burning through juice like there's no tomorrow with my sub ohm builds around 30-40 watts.
When I'm feeling really rowdy I have my RDA's with dual Clapton's at .4ohms at 50+ watts and blowing clouds bro!!!
I started toward the dark side when I started testing the new Aura mini (0.5 and 0.33-Ohm coils) and, even though I had tried to do direct-lung hits in the past with no success, it is natural and extremely easy with that tiny Aura. But the Aura has a small battery and is not a hot vape. The SXmini goes to 75 Watts, but I haven't tried sub-Ohming with it (yet). I suspect I'll be tootle puffing for some time to come -- or tootle womping as the case may be.

Alright, WHO LEFT THE DOOR OPEN???? I thought I was safe in here, and look what wandered in!
Now when I ask my "silly questions," he's gonna pick on me. (In case you don't already know, I'm "Wifey."

Just modwhomp all over him, Lannie!
You're safe here honey. I'm mostly in the voyeur class here and I haven't picked on you yet. ... yeah, yet... (evil grins)
Hey Fuzzy, long time no type. Don't worry, I never go over 10 or 10.5 watts but they tolerate even me in here. Though I often just lurk, to see what new kewl koils they're building.

I have found a screw in coil tank I like. I prolly won't stay with it but I don't hate it out of the pack.
The Acrtic. In gun metal.
Bought it cause it looks great on the Radius. Haven't had it on there yet because, guess what?? The battery is dead again.
Got the Arctis on the SX now and its a mighty fine vape. I thought it was sucking alot of juice until I seen it has a very small tank. I was like holy crap I vaped that much?? But its not bad really, the tank just takes up alot of space for what it holds.
Came with a TC coil. My son says its the only TC tank he's ever liked so I may give TC another spin.

Yeah I think a T3 holds more juice than an Arctic.

I have something in the works. A fused staple coil. I figured since I like my claptons might as well try something along the same line. Well I'll post some pics soon.
Thats why the second Arctic I got was the 5ml one! Haven't even bothered with the new Arctic Turbo, really haven't even used any of my Sub Ohm Tanks in a few months.. The Crown and Arctic are my favorite of them out there though..
I tootle puff at work with a REO running a Cyclone Atty set at 1.4. Not too many mods can take being banged around in a kitchen but it holds its own. Been whomping since last night after I got the Snowwolf set up with the Kanger Sub Mini. Put the rba in it tonight at 1.17 at 20w. Still looking for that perfect wattage to make my Posieden sing.
