Ok, bought some LR DCHV carto's on friday. Since I got my e-power I wanted to try LR and didn't have the money to plop down for the LR egoT b atties/tanks yet, so I had Cory talk me into these carto's (he really had to twist my arm, I almost reported him for customer abuse :D ). Well, I filled two of them and used them on Saturday with no problem. My batt on my e-power lasted from about noon saturday to just before I started work this morning at around 8 am. I plopped in a fresh batt and spent the day vaping on a third carto I filled with 11 meg green apple. Before today I was getting nice hits, not too strong. But on this carto I was getting really strong flavor hits with good vapor. However, my batt died out around 9pm tonite! Thats about 13 hours. So, I was wondering if something like juice touching both connections could drain it faster or if this 3rd carto might be a lower resistance than the 1.5 advertised? I just know this battery charge didn't last near as long as it did the day before.

While it isn't often, it is possible it had a lower resistance. If you have a multimeter, check the resistance and see if it is lower. Liquid could change the electrical properties but I wouldn't think enough to cause what you describe.

Are all your batteries the same type and age?

Thanks

Yeah, and I left that carto at home today, same result using the other two. I dunno, I guess I vape more at work than any other time, which is reasonable, I know I smoked more at work back when I was a smoker heh. But, 13 hours is a heck of a lot better than the 2 hours I was getting with a standard res 510T and my 510 batts lol. I have a multi-meter but it will only go down to 1k ohms, so I can't get below a whole ohm on it. Batts are still new, haven't had them a week, its the 14650's that came with my e-power mod. Like I said though, most likely scenario is that I vape more at work than I do at home.


*edit*
Ok, the plot thickens now. One carto is making my piper vv pass through act weird. I will set it to 3.7 volts, hit it once and it will blink blue 5 times and be stuck in 3.2 mode. I have to click it 4 times a couple times to get it to go back only to get one hit and it resets again. And it wasn't the one that I thought was the problem, but I have used that carto yesterday and today. Will keep it benched for tomorrow and see what happens.
