istick 10w battery issue?

[kittyvape]

Hi 

I've only had the iStick 10w for about 3 days. Battery seems to be nowhere near 10 hours, depletes very fast. Just now it was flashing 0.9% left, and, when I plugged it in via the USB, it showed over 37% charge, and when I unplugged the USB it showed 29%. Then watched it drop from 23% to 22% as I took one draw. Next draw it shows 16% dropping to 15%. 34% when plug back in to USB. Not sure if this is an issue with the 10w's, about battery or screen display, or a faulty one

Is this the mini Istick you're talking about kittyvape?
If so I would think it would only last a couple of hours from full charge.
It's a stealth vapers not ADV.

Batteries can't be measured in hours, it always depends on how they are used.
What is measured is the MAH, which is a measure of the stored energy.
For instance the mini has about a quarter of the mah of the 50w, which should go
About four times as long, with simmilar usage, between charges.
The changing power reading is simply how a rechargeable battery behaves.
They recover a little between power bursts. But if you keep puffing repeatedly then
They don't get any recovery time and the power depletes faster.

I have a mini and the charge percentage has always showed like that for me when plugging in kittyvape but if left to charge fully then the reading becomes true and I don't get ten hours from it. It might go from mid morning round to about just after tea time and I think that is pretty normal for the mini

Thank you shez, markm, and autumntwist32 I'd mistakenly read somewhere re 100 mAh = 1 hour, plus probably seen someone saying 10 hours, when they were actually talking about v low personal use. Thanks for reassurance, plus it's always good to have a stealth vaper on hand! Aiming to buy a good Sigelei at some point anyway.

I've got a Siegeli 30w and prefer my Innokin MVP3 for home use as it's a large mod but battery lasts 2 full days.

Thanks shez   Will definitely take a good look at the Innokin alongside Sigelei. Great to have the 2 days of battery, I bet. I have that with the iStick 50w, and love the strong flavour. You prefer the Innokin due to battery, or also taste?
