Want a 3.7 mod with battery larger then 900 mAH

[Higbe33]

I enjoy my 3.7 box mod with single 14500 900 mAH battery, however I'm now wishing the battery life would be a little more. I like the looks of the GLV-2, but their 3.6 model has an 880 mAH battery.

Looking for something small to carry at work, easy to stealth vape, and have a little more battery life. My Riva has a 1100 mAH battery and lasts for 2 days, however isn't a true 3.7 volt. I have found my sweet spot with 3.7 volts and a 1.5 ohm dual coil cartomizer. Just wish someone made a true 3.7 that would last a little longer on a charge. Any ideas?

Just came across a website I've never used yet called smoktek.com. They carry an ecig called "Sun" or something close to that and it is 3.7v with 2200Mah. This might be what you're looking for. They also sell the batteries on their site. Hope this might help.

Cathy - I liked the E-Power on that site and waiting to hear if it's a true 3.7 volt. Really don't want an Ego style however. I love the looks of the GPV-2, but an 880 mAH battery. I just ordered a 2nd foxy box mod and will carry two until I can find a true 3.7 with longer battery life. Thanks for the input.

Or you could buy an extra $5 charger for work...

+1 for the GLV2s. I don't know why they're so good but gosh, they are. I carry a little bottle buddy pouch wth an extra batt in it. It's no big deal, those batteries are tiny. My Supermini hides in my hand and I'm a girl The button is so nice. I believe I read that it's a military-grade. With a LR 1.5 ohm 306 atty it lasts me 6 or 7 hours. I usually have two with me (different flavors) so I rarely need to change batts away from the house. I got excited about the 2900 mAh batts for my Silver Bullet and meh, they didn't seem to kick like my GLVs. But they do last and last. They were expensive. Might have just been a bum batt with the uphf issue. Good luck.

Boodle - I think you convinced me. Just needed the right excuse to spend that much money. ;-)

Cathy - I did find out the E-Power is a true 3.7v and 2200 mAH.

Wrigley - with my job a battery charger wouldn't help and I don't want to carry extra batteries. May the last EJocker be saved for you.

I believe that all current Riva batteries are true 3.7V. [Certainly confirm that with the supplier before ordering.]

The e-Power (and the virtually identical NoEgo from Jazz CartoPipe) are regulated 3.7V ... and work wonderfully with Smok Tech Dual Coils, BTW. There are two versions: 14650 (~1050 mAh) and 18650 (~2200 mAh). As you would expect, the 18650 is considerably larger. Shown here are the NoEgo's next to the 650 mAh eGo on the far right.

In case there is any doubt, despite their eGo-like cones, these are mods (i.e., housings for the 14650 or 18650 batteries), not fat batts like the eGo. I own both versions of the NoEgo and love them. They are sold without batteries and charger and cost $25 (14650) and $35 (18650). I mention some suppliers for the batts and charger in this post.

The e-Power's are sold as complete kits by many suppliers. As an example, SmokTek's prices are $45 and $60, respectively. That's a very good price for the 14650 (about the same as MadVapes). BreezEsmokes has a better price on the 18650 version.

Thanks Don. I like the flat black look, but didn't want the Riva/Ego style. It does look larger and not sure if shirt pocket friendly. I ended up with a GLV-2. Just needed that little push that Boodle game me. Thanks Boodle.

Best wishes on your GLV-2! It is a fine mod. I don't think of it, since I don't like the styling ... but obviously that is entirely subjective.

 

[keyzygirl]

Congrats!!You made a great choice!I absolutely love my GLVs.They are built so sturdy and they never misfire.Always a perfect vape!

 

[BardicDruid]

It all depends on the batt, I use only AW batts. Used to have to get them from flashlight sites but Super T Manufacturing, RTD Vaper and Provape carry them now.

The 1300mah Dual Hunter Mod Kit has the 510 connection but runs at a little higher voltage.

Every vendor who sells the e-power claim that it's a regulated device. I don't understand this, because it's not. I've done pretty extensive testing, as well as called out for others to test... think there's two different threads where we have discussed this. The conclusion that we came to was there might be an older version of the e-power that used PWM to regulate the voltage, but the current switch unit does no regulation whatsoever. (I discovered this because I was constantly switching out the batteries in my e-power for a hotter vape.. if it was regulated, the state of the battery should have no real bearing on the vape.

We actually ended up asking a Smok Tech sales rep, who asked some engineers I guess, his answer was as follows..

"Our current Mosfet e power switch is not 3.7 v regulated, it's the same switch as the ego battery, the voltage will be lower after using.
but we can make 3.7v regulated switch."

(When he says eGo battery, I believe he is referring to the Smok Tech ego battery, which does NOT use PWM to regulate the output.. starts at 4.2 off the charger)

(Obviously this guy is a bit confused, but meh)
Other threads where I have brought this issue up:
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...-discussion/206692-3-7-regulated-options.html
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...ussion/206500-specific-e-power-questions.html

Anyone is more than welcome to do their own tests.. I am genuinely curious about this.. it kind of irks me that every vendor under the sun is claiming the e-power is a regulated device (Of course, this is probably the result of Smok Tech claiming the same thing). If anyone has an e-power, you should test it with a multimeter. I've only seen one person who claims to have tested it gets a regulated output... everyone else I've had test it gets battery voltage. Theory is that there's two versions of the switch floating around, with the latest one being unregulated.. but who knows!

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely adore my e-power.... and I prefer it unregulated. But, when I purchased it, I was expecting a device that would give me a consistent vape regardless of battery level; this was not the case.

Thank you, eric, for the enlightenment! All my technical specs knowledge is secondhand.

Do you know if this lack of regulation also applies to the NoEgo's? According to Romaniac, they are regulated.

That's where it gets sketchy, I do not know for sure. Someone with a NoEgo would have to test it. I was told by Romaniac that it's regulated as well, but I've also learned that the NoEgo is simply a rebranded e-power (OEM Purchasing) so I doubt smok-tech is manufacturing two different switches for monetary reasons.. they could be though!

If I had to guess, I'd guess it's using the same unregulated switches they send out with the e-power.. but without one to actually test, I don't know.

The E-power and NoEgo are excellent devices and I'm in no way bashing them or the vendors who sell them. This is more of a problem with Smok-Tech I believe, and it's really not even a 'problem' per se, it could just be misleading under certain conditions (ie. if someone was looking for something that gave a consistent vape without worrying about battery charge level)


Maybe Jazz Cartopipe has MOQ numbers to make them produce a regulated switch unit.. My theory is this... The Low Voltage Cutoff in the e-power is 3.6v.. meaning once the battery gets to 3.6v the button will flash and the unit will not fire. I have a feeling smok-tech was confused as to what 'regulated' means... and was claiming to vendors it was a 'regulated 3.7 device' because it won't fire if battery voltage is below 3.7v, that's just my idea though.. a couple people believe there are two versions of the switch.. but I have 3 different switches now and every one of them gives me battery voltage.

Just wondering,
Would I be able to use a single higher mah 3.7 battery in the "standard" glv-2
