Hello good people Is there much difference in battery life between 1000mah and 1300mah ? I know its kinda like "how longs a piece of string?", because I guess it depends on how often you vape, but Im pretty much vaping constantly (Its 2am and Im still puffing away and have been practically all day!) always turned up full volume and usually have to change spinners twice a day. Is the 1000mah a lot weaker? I really NEED to buy one of these .... but its a bit pricey, so Ive also found one of these d13z1xw8270sfc.cloudfront.net/origin/204900/rainbow_twist_ego_battery.jpgwhich is like, half the price, but is it half as good too? Now I really HAVE to go to bed, Ive got to be up at 6. This vaping lark is just too tiring

In my experience not a great deal of difference, but it will allow you to vape at a high voltage output for a little longer. It will also retain it's charge longer. I'd give you some figures but it really does depend on the Brand of battery and more importantly the power cell contained within. Complicated, ain't it? Jag.

Hi Smokeybebe ... The mAh figures that are quoted for any battery you buy refer to how long the battery can deliver a constant current of 1 amp (1000 milliamps) at a constant voltage of 3.7 volts and is a standardised way of comparing batteries. The 1000mAh battery will meet the above condition for 1 hour while the 1300mAh battery will meet the condition for 1.3 hours. In real day to day terms, the 1300 will "last" longer than the 1000 but another factor to be taken into account is that most battery manufactures, particularly those producing cheaper batteries, tend to exaggerate their capacity.

Indeed they do. I think that's why the Riva is so popular, it does what it says on the box. Not that you get a box of course ........... Jag. (Polarity issues.)

Thanks folks Yep it is a little complicated ??? but I think I get it. Dont think Im quite ready for the MVP though Hi Smokeybebe ...

In real day to day terms, the 1300 will "last" longer than the 1000 but another factor to be taken into account is that most battery manufactures, particularly those producing cheaper batteries, tend to exaggerate their capacity. This makes it pretty easy to understand though, thanks freefrom... but are the spinner and twist known as cheaper batteries? I thought both were considered good, so that would mean both would get the amount of hours/charge etc that they claim, like the Riva does? If thats right, I may as well go for the 1000mah, if that would give me roughly the same as the riva? Actually, no it wouldnt would it, because I would be vaping it turned up higher than the riva would be So that would make it last less than a riva. Wouldnt it? Oooooh, maybe Im confused Its not hard to confuse me

If you buy either a spinner or twist from one of the good UK vendors, the mAh rating should be correct And yes you are right, if you vape it turned up high, then it will run the battery down more quickly

With twists it's usually a good idea to have two of them, one on charge and one being used. As you step the voltage up they can deplete quite quickly, so if you only have one and you like vaping at the higher voltage settings you will find yourself charging it more often. Having said that, the two battery idea also makes common sense with standard batteries. Or ..... maybe I just like two of everything? Jag. (Do you get anything for a pair?)

Oooooh, maybe Im confused Its not hard to confuse me Smokeybebe ... Genuine Joytec ego twists and Vision spinners will deliver close to the quoted mAh figure but beware there are a lot of cheap clones about. Whatever you do decide to buy, I would advise you to make sure that it is described a Joytech or Vision. Don't get me wrong, I buy clones of hardware quite often from Fasttech but I would never buy a cheap battery or charger for safety sake.

Hi Freefrom, yep I see what your saying, thanks for the tip. Talking of tips, I accidentally found my way to a thread all about drip tips, and kinda wish I never, there are such LOVELY pretty ones!! I cant buy any cuz the tip on the SMOK is sealed, but I want to! Ive just had a HUGE vet bill for one of my dogs so havnt even bought my rainbow spinner yet, but will do asap. Im still loving my SMOK, but its started leaking and gurgling a bit (all of them after a while), so may look into other glass ones too, just as a back up. Of course, if I can find glass ones without tips sealed, then I could buy lots of lovely drip tips too Did I just say I cant afford stuff at the moment? my memory is bad!
