Vamo v3 eating batteries

[Moorlord]

Hey guys, I just got a V3 and 4 new

Panasonic CGR18650CH, Fully charged my device is reading 4.1 volts and I'm running a 1.8 ohm genny rba at 4.5 watts. Oh and I'm using a nitcore charger. The thing is Im only getting 3-4 hours of use and then I'm down to 3.6 volts. Its my impression that I should be getting more vape time outta this. This is my first VV/VW anything. I was using ego's and t3's a few days ago. Any help would be appreciated. I bought the batts from orbtronic and asked them what the deal was and they sent me here, lol. Anyways thanks in advance.​

and its shutting off at 3.6? i thought it had a limit of 3.2. batteries drop down from 4.2 very fast then stay in the 3.7-3.6 range for quit some time as this is what they are rated for.

are you for some reason taking the batteries out on your own? the vamo will tell you when they need to be charged.

Its shutting down at 3.5 volts. So I was popping them out at 3.6. I will not do that anymore. I have this ocd about not letting stuff "go dead".

i thought the vamo would go lower, but in any case what the mod calls a dead battery is far from really dead. a dead Li ion battery is considered 2.5 volts. most of the mods need more then that to run correctly so they shut down way before that. i would let the vamo run until it shuts off, you will be fine.

thanks, ill let it go and see what happens.

The cheap 18350 batteries that came with my Vamo will do that but the Efest 18350 that I bought at the same time works down to 3.3 volts and the 18650's go all the way down to the 3.2 volt cut off.

Are you using an RBA with your Vamo? When I was using my Phoenix V5 fairly often, if I didn't build both of the coils EXACTLY the same, my batteries were shot in an hour or two.
