I have 4 x 18650 batteries that I alternate Karma, but one battery lasts me at least 2 days. I'm currently vaping with a LR carto in a puff tank at 3.7 V. I've bought some SR cartos and will use one when the LR packs up so I can vape at a higher voltage. IF I'm right about the difference between LR and SR, throat hit and amount of vapour is less with SR cartos. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm obviously just greedy Anne!
I think you are right about the difference between LR and SR but I also thought that SR didn't drain the batteries as much?

Yes., that's right. LR will drain the batteries quicker and also use more juice!

I am, lol. But I think it's pointless in having a VV e cig. and only being able vape at 3.7V as with the lava tube. Kind of defeats the object IMHO.

I think you miss the point a bit, whatever voltage you choose to vape at will remain constant till the battery has depleted with a vv device, no power fade as the battery runs down so you get a much more consistent vape. The point is YOU get to choose the best voltage for you and what ever attie you're using and have the ability to adapt any attie to your prefered level.

You must be a mega heavy chain vaper!! Lol. Do you get a good throat hit and plenty of vapour with higher voltage and SR carto?

blakey, is that not right then, you can only get 3.7V from a LR carto?
(On a lava tube - forgot to add)

The number of coils increases with resistance which increases the surface area to vapourise obviously to the point where you start to heat the coil too much and the flavour tastes burnt. So at 6 volts with a 4 ohm HR carto you should get lots more vapour and TH even though you are only drawing 1.5 amps than vaping at 3.7 with a 1.8 ohm LR carto which is drawing 2 amps, if that makes sense.

Yeah, i need to read the battery thread and get some more spares If it keeps me away from the nasties, I'm not worried! Liking the VV but still not used it above 4.2! If I cranked it up as far as it goes my batteries would probably only last an hour It says on the batteries that they are 3000 mah! Can you buy 10000 mah ones? are your batteries Trustfire per chance ? the mAh rating can be used as a guide but their actual performance in various devices can change drastically depending on whats demanded of them. you'll probably find an AW IMR 1600mAh battery will out live a Trustfire 3000mAh even though the numbers would suggest the Trustfire would last nearly twice as long

I have sanyo batteries and they are just fine. One battery will last me about 12 hours on a 3.4v on the LT on an LR Boge.... Not the best vape but I can stealth vape on the bus with my PG off ebay so why worry? How many mls approx are you vaping per day Karma? Sounds like you're on at least 5 though I could be wrong... I started at about 5 on a vv on 36mg/ml...Now down to about 3 or so on 22mg/ml on my LT/Paws mod... For a spare mod might be seriously worth going to www.parkesvaping.com Karma
