sigelei 150w batteries run out so fast

[VapingBad]

The 25Rs you have are one of the best choices for that mod with a very respectable capacity, good safety characteristics and have a fast charge rating of 4 A as do the VTCs, but you have a slow charger that makes is more of a hassle. I use Xtar SP2 chargers and charge 25Rs in an hour and a half at 2 amps, Torchy had these on offer for £15 delivered last year and it maybe worth asking if he has any left as he never advertised the offer other than a UKV thread. I don't know what is currently available in 2 bay 2 A chargers other than the EFest LUC which personally don't like, avoid 4 bay chargers if you want to charge quickly.

TBH OP's issue with the battery % drop is what i experience every day with my 100w+. Don't forget that it's not just the vaping that draws battery power but every time you press the button to vape the LCD screen comes on as well and continues to stay on for a while, this is eating up the battery power.

If you want to buy batteries from Torchy AND you are a member of he UK Vapers forum, there is a thread over there where he lists what he has and what price he will do them for direct, at better prices than Ebay as he will not have to pay Ebay or PayPal their commission.

ETA : ^^ wooky beat me to it!

Thanks DiscoDes   Have found the thread on UKV but can't read the price list ... tiny, and even saving it and zooming doesn't work. Do you know where there's a readable list? Cool that he sells via that route; very decent thing to do. 

There is a zoom feature by clicking the picture or you could just save it to your machine, don't forget to look at the 2nd column of prices for the direct price.

kittyvape, email him or PM him on UKV and ask him to send you a list.

You can get an Xtar SP2 form knivesandtools.com for £23.90 delivered if Torchy has sold out. I have had 2 for over a year and they are one of the best vaping purchases I have made, if you charge 2 batteries a day compared to your Nitecore you would save 1,460 hours of 60 days each year of having to be around while waiting for your batteries to charge.

Thanks VapingBad   Charger sounds brilliant; will definitely message Torchy and hope he has one of those available, plus will grab another pair or two of batteries. Noticed on Ebay he does Imren 30A 2900's. Thank you for advice.

Thank you VapingBad   That's brilliant; thanks for the link. Great to hear how good they are, and, yes, saving all those hours is going to be a big relief and energy saving. Waiting 5.5 hours definitely needs to stop, lol.

Have to wait for activation re UKV; have done request for activation.

I would stick to the 25R myself, but check the fast charge rate before using a 2 A charger I don't know if the Imren can handle it and actually have the extra capacity at the amps used by that mod.  I couldn't find the figures for the Imren, but for a Keeppower IMR 18650 2900 mAh I copied the capacity graph and at 15 A the 25R (red lines) has a lot more usable power (above 3.3 V).

Or just get batteries and a charger (Xtar VP2) - the ugraded version of the SP2 (which I also use, but think he's out of stock) from Torchy as a one stop shop

oops! That's the 3200mAh Keepower which is rated only 10 Amps CDR at room temperature!!!!


The Samsung still wipes the floor with it too. They never bothered testing at 10 Amps!!!!

Samsung 25R, 2 for £10 delivered (Tracked) from puremist - confirmed genuine - FTW!!

, I noticed, did it again with the keeppower 2900 mAh, but obviously uploaded the wrong pic Ripshod.
