I really like the form factor of the HCigar VT200, but the battery isn't lasting as long as I hoped. I updated the battery capacity to 14.43 (I think it was). Now it just runs out of battery still showing 25% or so on the bar, disappointing.

I thought the Efusion might feel a bit "wide" in the hand compared to the HCigar. Reassured by your description car147 might have to push the button when Vapegeek have stock again.

The Efusion looks a lot wider than most in pics that we have all seen, but in reality its not much wider than the Hcigar, probably 8mm max.

@letsavit

I have had the cover off twice now, the double sided tape they have used seems to be pretty good, and the panel has refitted perfectly each time, in one way its probably good now i have thought about it, as you could easily do your own covers. Just make sure as your prising the cover up, try to hold it whilst slowly sliding a small screwdriver along to ease it up as you go, you cannot just force it up.

Yeah i have dropped mine to 11.1 wh and seems good on the meter, battery is too small imo to be a 1300mah, ( more like 1000mah)you just have to look at the pack in the Efusion to see HCigar have been economical with the true capacity. It seems the Lipoly battery spec claims are still being exaggerated to this day, and was very common when the packs first came out.

You've got more than one mod, just analyse the battery, Okay it takes like 6 hours but it would be worth doing.

Far easier just to stick it on my dedicated Lipoly balance charger from my RC days, ill get more info from that, just need to make some leads up.

So my own view is its a fantastic looking mod, well built ( not allowing for the above) and probably the best internal build i have seen on anything coming out of China, sadly let down slight by a naff way of gaining access which will result in my opinion on some cracking or scouring of the carbon sheet if not careful.

At least you've got yours, poor old letsavit and me are still waiting lol
Looks bloody nice though, which is making me more impatient

no worries mate

moved you to the back of the queue, for your inconvenience

Have to say Vape Geek have been excellent throughout the purchase, Rob taking the time to help answer questions and kept me upto date even if it was bad news ( delays etc) great service both, before during ,and after purchase.

car147 Have you noticed the difference in battery life of the Efusion vs the VT200 please?

Thanks - Bob

Yes big difference, Efusion is lasting far longer and i suspect that it is a genuine 1300mah pack, where as the HCigar is a lot less imo. I am going to stick both on my Dedicated Lipoly Balance charger which will reveal the true capacity of both batteries. to hazard a guess i suspect the HCigar is actually 1000mah, or even 900mah.
Ill run the test either later today or tomorrow and post the results

Excellent - thank you - been very disappointed with the VT200 battery

What connector are they using for the lipo car147 ?

[VapingBad]

The Efusion uses a Fullymax battery the same make Evolv used in their reference mod.

That's not what I meant VB, I couldn't see a xt30 etc in the photos so was wondering if it was just soldered straight to the board :/
