When to swap batts?

[Bufitnut]

I've just started using my mech for a week or two (mech newbie) and it seems when the battery gets to about 3.5-3.6 volts the flavor isn't as good and it doesn't give as good a vape. I change the battery to a fresh one and all is good. My questions are, is this normal and is it ok to continually replace and charge your battery at that level?

What you described is Totally Normal.

As the Voltage of your battery goes down in your Mech mod, so does the Flavor and Vapor Production.

This is one reason that Many people prefer a Regulated PV or a VVPV. The hit is Consistent all the way thru the life of the Battery.

Good points by zoiDman...

And lithium batts live longer when recharged before they completely run out of charge.

yea, normal. grab a kick if you don't want to deal with that.

kick 2 lets you vape til about 2.7v regulated, but i switch mine out probably about 3.2v

You do not want to run them down very far. When the vapor level drops below what I like on a mech I change it. Most apv's will tell you when. Not sure what the bottom is on a Li Ion batt. But When they hit 3.4 in to the charger they go. Don't run them dead and don't charge them to soon as they have discovered that Li Ion batteries do develop a memory.
