Variable Voltage Box Mod - how do i know when to recharge?

[nocturn4l3030]

quick question.. the only other VV mod i have let's me know when to replace the batteries.. and any non-VV mods you obviously can tell by how it fires when it's time to replace the batteries.. so what about these box mods? Does it just stop firing all of a sudden when it needs to be recharged? is it dangerous to wait till that point? (using AW IMR 14500's). Hopefully i don't have to keep taking the batteries out and multimetering em... -.-; thanks

Because of the voltage regulation, you really don't notice it falling off much before it goes. I don't use AW IMRs. Just plain old Trustfires or Ultrafires. AFAIK there's not a problem discharging them to that point.

thx for the reply. so in otherwords, it'll just completely not fire anymore when it's time to recharge?

Yep, it rocks until the batts are dead..
I always notice a warm to cool last drag, then nothing...
Pop in new batts and you are good to go.

I take 2 extra sets with me (+ 1 in the Box) and normally go through one set at work, 4.5V, LR Carto and Carto Tank.
I charge the dead set as I get home then put that set back into rotation.
