VapeCige Vtbox200

[sd3614]

I can easily see that with that small of a pack. I've recently put a uwell Crown tank on with the .25Ω coil and running at 65W and can literally watch the battery discharge a percent just about every other draw.

That is exactly my set up but 95 watts. I don't think these dna's are gonna be for me.

Here is an email from FT today.


Sorry for the delay due to the holiday.

I read a statement somewhere last week and I'm not sure if it was recent or outdated but it was saying there were delays with the white/black due to a paint issue.

Ya'll must vape a lot, I vape pretty frequently.

Today I've been using a dual SS430 coil in a RDA at 70W (110W preheat) and 470F all day (6.5 hours so far), and the battery on my VS200 is still at 62%. Thats with me probably going through 8mls of juice so far today, and vaping frequently.

Are you using a VTBox200? I am and even at 14Wh it's about 50% more capacity than the VS so I can only imagine it would discharge even faster but don't have one so cant speak to that. Could also be significant difference in the quality of packs being used. I'd be curious to know your Puff time and Energy on last puff. We could probably get a close approximation for comparison for overall capacity usage using the Statistic in Escribe estimates. Of course the frequency of the puffs, energy used per puff and total battery capacity would be the determining factors in how long we'd be able to use a given device.

And I can get a full day with mine as well and probably a little bit more. The discharge is probably more noticeable to me since I have to look at it before each puff and it just seems like it's discharging rapidly.

Naw, i'm using a VS200 today. I was just replying back because @1Cas had stated he only gets 2-3 hours from his, which I find incredibly shocking, he must breathe vapor the entire time.

Plugged into escribe, and opened device monitor. Last Puff was 31 mWh, Power was 73.63W, and puff time was 1.52s.

edit, in the hour or so since my last post battery has gone down from 62% to 58%. Then down to 57% while I was just taking puffs to get the data from escribe.

So for me Last Puff was 50.42 mWh, Puff time 3.76s, Power 48.25W. So although you consume less power per puff your puffs are also less than half as long as mine. If we each took a draw once a minute you can see why mine would be depleted much faster than yours would be.

True, true, that was a pretty short "puff" I took. I took a longer puff, just to see, 3.31s this time, was 67.35mWh, Power 73.32W. That was a lung full of vapor.

Guess its pretty difficult to say, I get X hours of use, even when comparing same settings, if you don't each take the same duration of puffs.

Yea, hard to objectively measure when someone says I get x days or x hours use etc. because we don't really know what duration, frequency, power that they use so it's really subjective. But the way I vape I could see running out of battery pretty easily on any of the 900mAh devices before days end probably more like half a day.

Yep, same, even though I think I vape a lot, get about half a day out of the 900mah battery(half a day being 8-10 hours, I don't count the time I'm sleeping because I don't vape in my sleep). That is partially why when I went full in on DNA200s, I got two of them (and since 3).

Gee, what a surprise, the black and white Vapecige that I ordered showed up today. Must have been the shipping guys that made it red and black, GB would never do something like that without checking with me.
But on with the post. It's a brick, not bricked, just heavy. Battery is balanced, firmware is up to date.
I'm doing the thermal analysis now as they didn't and will post it when done.
I can tell that they actually QC'd it a bit (made it work).
EDIT: Oh the battery connetor, yes it has the Deans connector. There are hex screws on the battery door. I could hardly believe how tiny the battery looks in person...LOL

I am waiting for a vs with hotcig dna ASAP!
Check if they ironed out the initial problems (glue on 510, correct battery adaptor that cannot ground the battery) i ve heard that on last revisions battery is soldered on dna chip...
I can trade my hotcig for free for a vt200. My greatest concern about my beloved dx200 so far is that i can hardly make a day without recharge. Try to give a feedback on its battery some days latermate. I hope it will lasts at least 80%+ than dx200.

OK but expect like 30 -35% at the most is my guess.

 

[amdnikos]

I know i am anxious! Give me some feedback about quality. Paint, buttons. Did they removed the magnets on door? Well i heard that the real capacity of this battery is 1500mah, thats why i was waiting around +80% endurance than the 900mah.

Watt hours is watt hours, figure 10 on the Hotcig and maybe up to 14 for the Vapecig, that's 40%.
Now on a happier note, I'm using a 50 watt,12 volt light bulb to pull down the battery far enough to do the thermal test and it is taking a lot longer than the one for the Hotcig. I need 25% -50% battery remaining to do the test.

Wow sounds like they're disregarding what people ordered and just shipping them whatever they have in stock. Well hope you like it and it works out for you anyway if you decide to keep it.

I actually prefer the red and black and even prefer the screws on the battery door. Had they asked me I would have agreed but I am ...... that they made the decision for me, a bad business practice .
My friend is waiting on one from FT, I may offer it to him, but not because I don't like it.

Vapecige BTBox200 thermal settings

These are what I got running case analyzer for around 4 hours, they didn't do it so I did.

 

[dwcraig1]

So here's the deal, do you want to make all (all but one)your mods smaller? Just use a Vapecige BTBox 200 for a day.
Wow does it feel big..... and heavy.....and big....did I say heavy? It's heavy.
Other than that it's great.

Lol lol, it's not that big Yes it's a big box but you've apparently never had one of the 1590B Hammond mods. VTBox200 is quite a bit smaller in every direction but in thickness. I was actually happier with the size than I expected to be thinking it would feel much larger in hand.

 

[dwcraig1]

I really didn't think too much about it till I came home from work and started using my Hotcig 200, it just felt so small.

I have a solution for you then, get a "The 44" by Joe Litt, use that for a day, then your Vtbox200 will feel small. Problem solved.
