When do you change your battery

[shadco]

My batteries come off the charger at about 4.17 volts.

Seems o me they lose their punch at around 3.8 volts or so.

What are you finding regarding when you want to change your battery?

 

[Mudflap]

Between 3.8 and 3.9 volts.

Same here I always end up pulling them around 3.8

I usually pull them at 3.8, too. After a while you can tell when they get down to 3.8 just by quality of vape. Most mornings I start the day with fresh battery(s) no matter how long it's been since I put fresh ones in. When I run out the door, to leave home, I put fresh in no matter how long it's been since fresh ones unless they are very fresh. I always carry at least one extra or extra sets. It took only one time being away from home without extra battery(s), atty/carto, spare spring for metal REO . If I'm going to be far from home, for many hours/days, I take a spare Mini REO, too. If I didn't have spare REOs I would take a spare something. I tried the speed-mart ecigs a couple of times and they just don't do it.

It all depends on the day. If it's not as easy to recharge I will either go to the spare and have both at the ready or run a little lower. I did run one all the way dead once and was pleasantly surprised how long it took.

No matter what they last longer than in the provari.

 

[shadco]

Yeah that's what I thought 3.8 or so.

I've ordered 2 more 18490's from rtdvapor and a couple of 18650's so I can witch my empire mod over to those. That way I can have 4 18490's just for the mini.

Oh and thanks to Reosmods for linking rtdvapor from their site. What a great vendor.


I just wish I could figure out how to use this to charge my mod batteries.

Usually in the evening is when the low batt light starts to blink although its a while before its low to a point it will no longer vape. I also carry a spare in batt case in my backpack while out just in case...

i pull mine at 3.7 or 3.6 volts

I use some earth magnets on the ends of the battery and then attach them with the alligator clip leads when I use my hobby chargers. They work great, just a bit bulky compared to the other chargers that people use.

Where's the low battery light on a mechanical mod?

There isn't one on a REO, shadco. I think Nuuze is running a ProVari or a ProVape. I think his/her response was just to the battery question in general.

 

[sjoat]

that's weird, my reo has an LED battery status indicator

Sorry all! Yes, I thought it was a general when you change your batt question and didn't realize I was in Reos Mods.
