I had a look at the battery well earlier and there seems to be plenty of room to fit two 18650 batteries with bit of unseen milling away of one surface. Maybe that is the way to go. I really dont think there is the space there to put a bigger capacity lipo in.

I am convinced the Vapecige battery is a reprinted/labelled 1500mah, and allowing for the usual chinese economy with the truth with batteries, it is probably about 12 or 13. There is no 1800mah LionPower battery that I can find anywhere on the web except in the Vapecige (the dimensions of the 1500mah are exactly the same as the vapecige battery). The battery life is really poor, just less than a day for me and I only vape at about 20 watts. It certainly seems less than I would get from a 2100mah 18650 at 20 watts on another TC mod.

much as i found when searching for a better pack for the Hcigar vt200, there's no equivelent and is usually a sign that the pack is of less dapacity than they claim. The Efusion on the other hand is no problem, infact the 1300mah pack from Overlander in the UK should be the very same fullymax pack just rebranded that comes with that mod. 

I ran the oacks from the Efusion and HCigar on my dedicated balance charger, the Efusion pach is definatly 1300mah but the HCigar came in at just under 1000 mah, illl drop my mate a email as he has the vapecige vt and is bound to have run the pack through his charger by now so i should be able to get a figure for it.

Excellent car147

You right, and i am likely over cautious, our main problem using lipo's in Heli's etc is until recently it was not possible to monitor the cells under load. I will switch back in that case, and suggest you do as well kreed.

I'm at 14.43 and 3.3 car147

I usually throw it on the charger anyway when the battery bar is about halfway........I've always been cautious about running batteries too low

  kreed   Spoke to my mate that has the Vapecige VT200, and he reckons 1300mah, like me he just used his external balance charger. And again explains why you cannot find any corresponding 1800. Mah pack with those dimensions.
14.43 should be spot on.

It`s junk then Feck it, gonna try a couple of batteries in it.

Well it was fully charged this morning and I ran a 0.15 Ni coil all day today at 420F and 50 watts.

When I say all day.......I mean it was in my hand all day and being vaped.

When it was set at 9Wh I was putting it back on to charge at about 2pm.

Today I didn't have to and it was still on 56% when I got home at 7pm

Sooooo much better

If your ever looking for spares/replacements, Turnigy were ok, ( Hobbyking UK Warehouse) they also dio the Nanotechs as well, but i still preffered thr bog  standard Turnigy's , which always seemed to deliver. Gens Ace were pretty good as well, just match the dimensions  and soec of the original.

anyone know the battery geometry for the hotcig mod?? or is it ok as is?? many thanks in advance

Looking at the nano tech ones. The 1300mah one fits, a guy just did it on FB and reckons he is getting a lot more from it than the 1800mah original.

Aye, you will probably find the pack that came with the Vapecige mod is not one of the best, what a lot of these companies do is buy the lower grade cells that are rejected by the the better known brands. I used the Nanotechs in fixed wing, but power hungrey Heli's were far better on the black/silver labelled Turnigy's or Gens Ace . My mate would test the IR which would soon show up the duds, or any claims that seemed ott ( there were loads) The Fullymax in the Efusion seems pretty good so far, and matches the spec they claimed.and i would think the Hotcig mod will be 900mah as they claim.
