VV battery life

[Zombo]

It probably lasted around 3/4 of a tank? I was messing around with flavors, so most likely it was around 3.8 with quick bursts of 4.2 on a new coil. And I use the standard coil that comes in the clearomizers. I really really love this vv, but mine has never lasted a whole day - and I don't always chain vape

Yes, Chesty, the button does flash when it's out.

Have you tried a different coil? A few days ago, I got the blinking lights of death and I assumed my battery was dead (even though I could have sworn it still had charge) and I swapped it for another I could have sworn had charge, but the same thing happened. I then tried a third battery that I new had charge (I swear) and the same thing happened. I tried a new coil and the problem was solved. My old coil must have been shorting out or something.

Could your coil be intermittently shorting out (is that even possible?).

 

[Rossum]

Yes, that's possible.

It could have been. I was swapping around a bunch of clearos, but when I went to wash one out both wicks were free floating, so that coil was obviously no good. I don't even remember if that one was on the vv, but it could have been!

A VV that needs recharging flashes 15 times quick.
A VV with a short, or detecting a coil with a short, flashes quickly only when you hold down the button.

What does it mean when it does a few quick flashes - 5 maybe?

 

[DaveOno]

Amanda, just retested my VV
It blinks like 5 times for a short. I'm just sticking a small philips screwdriver inbetween to short it out, and I hit the button.
The button should just glow if there is nothing on the battery, just the same for a good tank/coil.

Is yours 5 blinking with nothing? Then it is defective.

It did it on a brand new coil yesterday....seemed to work fine after that.

Just wanted to update this thread and say that I think my vv battery has been fine all along. I think that I tend to do looooong button presses, which obviously uses up the battery faster. That along with chain vaping is tough on batteries

Yep..... It would be nice to have a per puff meter instead of hours of usage because that can vary greatly. LOL

Oh, that's the ten second cutoff! As a safety feature, the power is cut after a ten second push. You hafta inhale quicker!!!

JUST had this happen to me yesterday for the first time.
Course, I had to test the tank on every battery and compare it to another tank before I remembered that it's probably the coil in the tank that makes the batteries flash.
