VV Reo Grand I

[Mudflap]

Excellent advice. I can only assume discharge usage will be the same as the VV Woodvils. I recharge and mark them in pairs and rotate them while in use too. I do notice with even new pairs that one will discharge more and take longer to recharge. Not that this hurts anything probably but my OCD kicks in when it comes to charging my batts.

I vape half the bottle then swap batteries. They're usually discharged to around 3.6 to 3.8 volts each, at that point, and almost always both measure the exact same charge. I do this for my own peace of mind, since I know I'm not stressing my batteries by over discharging them.

Maybe the discrepancy good be with my charger and that could be the explanation but I don't notice any difference when I rotate them. Maybe I just made that up in my head or I read it somewhere. My memory can be sketchy sometimes at best.

lol why is the word head underlined. lol

Marking batteries is a must. I use the 1a/1b, 2a/2b, etc., with magic marker and then cover the marking with a small piece of standard office tape.

Also, I usually swap out top and bottom battery about every hour of vaping. Only takes a few seconds and makes battery drain more even on each individual battery.

Tell your DH that I said it helps to have a bit of a thumbnail to catch one of the tiny ridges of the voltage dial when making slight adjustments up or down. I found that just using the pad of my fingertip or thumb to turn it usually resulted in the dial being turned further than I intended.

The button on this model is really going to impress a lot of folks. I guess Rob was tired of the whining and stepped up his game.

DH has had long Flamenco Guitar nails for decades but is no longer playing due to arthritis. (Last month he even gave his travel guitar, wide neck, that he keeps at the hotel, to the security guard where he works out of town. Guard plays in a mariachi band; several instruments.) But he is now, just in past few months, without the long nails so he is adjusting, slowly, to not having his "tools." Maybe tonight I'll mark the wheel with model paint so it is easier for him to determine just where the wheel is. I have several colors but will mainly mark fourth, half, and three quarters, as he has lessened feeling in his finger tips.

Just got a text from Val. They are still driving and she'll get back with me later. I told her "no rush."

Hugs and love, Big Sis

I like the idea of swapping out the top and bottom battery after an hour- I'm gonna start doing this- My understanding is the top battery gets more pulled from it than the lower one.

This makes me feel good about getting through the day on a single charge. I only vape around 3 ml most days, unless I am sitting around the house lol

That explains why go thru 6mls a day. I tend to just sit around the house a lot these days.

I've been getting about 6mls out of a set of 18350's am I doing something wrong

I'd be embarrased to say how many mls I go through a day on my vv when I'm not working. Probably because I either vape 0mg or 2mg at the most it stays glued to my face and I use it a lot.

On that VV circuit, with true 600+ mAh batteries, 6 - 7 ml at around 8W is reasonable (2.5 ohm 4.5V, or 3 ohm 5V).

 

[MXBNW]

Yep, I run my VVW at about 4.5v using a 2.5 510 I change out the battery's at about 5.5 ML's

Thats about what I using with a 2.5Ω Cisco @5v.

 

[MXBNW]

Not sure Gil, I don't run my VVW that high up very often. I do crank it up a bit. But you should get at least a good 4+ mils from it.

Keep a watch on the juice and let us know. I run from 4.5 to 5 v on mine with the Cisco 2.5 More power in the AM less in the PM

I'm mostly using RCR123a Powerizers. They're NOT the recommended battery. They're also unprotected lithium cobalt batteries, so I'd rather baby them a bit. I have discharged them down to 2.7 volts (I know, that's bad) and they have recharged and continued to perform just fine.

They'll be replaced with AW IMR 18350's sooner or later.
