How long should my new spinner last?

[sleedale]

Bought a vision spinner 2 last week, mainly cos it's supposed to be a 1600mah, which, while I have no idea what that means  leads me to understand that it has more capacity, therefore should last longer?
its been charged up several times now so today I thought I'd check it's performance. Fully charged at 11am, used normal vaping rate....well mine anyhow....and by 12.45 it's gone from white light on switch (60-100%) to blue light on switch (30-60%)! Now that doesn't seem very long to me. Will keep using it without charging it until it shows the orange switch light and see how long it lasts, on today's performance, that'll probably happen before 4 or 5 pm.

now, it might be as it should be, but my old ego 1100 lasts longer than that still!

using a NV and aspire bdc clearos and don't chain vape, even thought today has been quite stressful so far 

oh and I tend to use it anywhere between 3.5 and 4.0-4.3, more than that I don't like the taste.

so.....keep going and hope it improves? Or is this normal? 

Cheers peeps

I have to agree mine don't seem to last long either. I charged it last night started using it this morning and by 12:30 today it was already on the orange /yellow light.

I may be wrong (probably am lol) but I think batteries usually need a couple of charge / discharge cycles before they reach their maximum efficiency

youre not wrong normally 6 cycles then battery is at full power

You can only really tell by running it until it registers that it is fully discharged. It depends on what level of voltage it packs up at - I'd guess it won't go down below about 3.2 volts or possibly more, so "60% charged" could mean it is still at 3.8 volts or more and these types of batteries can go down to that level fairly quickly.

You're right Bill.  ronaldo said in the last couple of days that they need somewhere around 6 full charges to reach their max potential, then anywhere up to 500 recharge cycles before they die

ETA:   he beat me to it

Easy Peasy  I'll even send you some Vanillin crystals if you want?

Mine last ages, one thing i have noticed though, now this maybe the charger is that when i put it on charge it charges like normal and takes around the right time and then the charger light turns from red too green telling me it's fully charged.

But

If i take it off the charger and put it back on the light turns back to red again and charges for another 1hr.

 didn't realise the vanillin was crystals I have a lot to learn can take in resistance voltage wattage ohms no problems without even thinking about it I can repair electrical circuits that have been in a fire and have no markings on them but this cauldron-smileyhas got me a little bit stumped I will need to have a read up and you will have to hold my hand and drag me through it  literally

They start as crystals, but you dissolve them in PG, just like you do with menthol crystals, to create your own concentrate  Hand holding is my speciality

Aspire dual coils do tend to be greedy little bu**ers sleedale. Higher resistance coils may help.

It's has been charged at least 6 times though I've never run it down to nothing, so maybe it needs complete discharge/recharge cycles?
