yes, I use them in both , however if you arnt using a kick don't let the voltage drop too low , I change batteries as soon as the vape tails off a bit , you can soon judge it or if unsure at first check the voltage with a meter or on vamo to gauge it

ok thanks, but what exactly constitutes too low?

vv/vw mods ie vamo etc will cut of around 3.2 a mech will carry on so around 3.4 I would say ! Read hijacks thread in tips and trouble shooting it's very informative

toejam 3.3v -3.6v, safest to change at 3.6v, you'll certainly notice a drop in performance there.

i take mine out a 3.3-3.4 volts, you should notice a drop of in flavour by then

If you go much below 3.5 3.4 the drop off in vapour means you just dont bother with it.
It's very noticeable.
Carry a fully charged spare (in a plastic case) and you will be fine.

3.2 volts would be considered very low. Youll probably want to change on or before 3.5v as the vape gets weaker as the voltage drops

a 1 ohm coil at 3.4-3.3 volts is a decent vape for me, not the best but still decent, so i change out the battery then

Technically never discharge below 2.7V, as the battery cannot be recharged if it falls below this.

Practically, you're looking at 3.2V - to give yourself some margin.

For high loads/low ohms devices, work on 3.5V.
