Odd one about batttery's

[mowjo]

Ok! this might just be me but do different makes of battery's affect the taste of juice??? I've always used the purple efest imr 3.7 2900mah ones, but because you lot seem to rate the samsung inr 25r's I decided to try them, at this point the 25r's are lasting a lot longer, but i've noticed when I use the 25r's the juice taste a bit different, i'm using a kbox and taifun gt2 and normally vape at 13w with the efest, but when I switch to the 25r's I have to drop it to 8w or it taste a bit burnt, have I missed something or is it just me??

Trust your taste buds and experience as a vaper, the battery shouldn't make a difference but can if the circuit is struggling, although those wattages are mild enough only around 4 A load on the battery, is the Efest old?

[mowjo]

Only a few months, but I'm only getting around 3/4 of a day with them now, down from the 1 1/2 days I had when they were new,, anything above 13w and I get a slight burnt taste, hopefully thing will get better when my Subox mini arrives, but it just seemed strange there's a difference with the taste on the two different battery's,

The Efest sounds knackered and time to go to the recycling centre, maybe you ran them at too high amps (Efest usually are far too optimistic about the current rating), IIRC the standard def of end of useful life is 80% capacity.

I run my GT2's at about 16-20 watts at around 1 ohm mowjo, with Samsung 25r's. What ohms are you building at?

[mowjo]

Around 1.4ohm Tim, and 13w anything more than that I get the slight burnt taste,

VB, I just worked out the Efest have only had around 50/60 charges each, I know they are genuine I checked them,
