Recieved the efusion today, its bloody stunning, great looking mod, Now I need some help, my laptop gave up the ghost yesterday so I can't change the battery setting, it will be a little while until I can afford to buy another, it was an old one from the wifes works, so I shouldn't be too surprised that it only lasted a few weeks so is there anyone out there who could do it for me if I cover the postage, Thanks in advance Glen
The analyser is a bit of a faff imo, far easier just using a hobby dedicated lipoly charger as this will show exactly what you put back into the pack. But again not for folk that have not been used to using lipoly chargers as you can make some serious mistakes with the settings.
I think some of these manufacturers were not expecting anyone to be checking the capacity of these packs, not knowing the R/C world has been using them for the last decade. ( and some vapers)
And also, these manufacturers should set up their batteries with the correct settings, but....
Did you run the test to get the exact numbers of the battery? Do that, and set it up by the numbers that will come up from escribe. To me, it did a significant improvement of the battery life
Test? do you mean the battery analyser ?? if so can you please describe whats needed step by step to perform this test?
afaik you need a fully charged battery and a throwaway coil fitted in an atty attached to the device, and set a discharge wattage 40w reccomended??? is that it? how long will it take ? and is it safe to leave unattended?? many thanks in advance..
Oh no, you got me unprepared. let me go and educate myself a bit please, ill get back to you.
Ok So what Hcigar said was that they buy the batteries as 1300mah, and they are looking into the complaint i put yestarday about them being a bit lower than stated. However, now we are on the third batch of VT200, (expected next week)and they assured me of new batteries in the devices, and gold plated SS 510 connector instead of the brass as on the first versions, so lets see what we gonna get next week.

VT200 battery very disappointing, don't get more than three hours on sensible build with TC. Will be interesting if they acknowledge that they have a problem & offer to fix it, it's not a cheap mod.
On the plus side, just ordered an Efusion from you this morning, marked as dispatched already so looking forward to try that one out

So what about the early adopters with sub standard batteries and brass 510 connectors, ???
am tempted to reject mine under distance selling cooling of period rules..
The batteries are not sub-standard. As i said, they got them as 1300mah, and this should be pretty much the story. If you do the testing, it should come pretty close to that. About the 510, its never been a secret that is made out of A1 brass, and its not much of a problem The latest edition, is an upgrade of the first one, but that doesn't mean there is anything wrong with the first one

FullyMax Lipo in the Efusion is at least 1300mah, as i put 1170mah back into it from a discharged state of 3.7v per cell. Pack discharged state was 11.1v
Hcigar VT200 Battery took 840mah from a distcharged state of 11.2v total capacity. And as i suspected the pack is indeed a 1000mah. It really annoys me when manufactuers give false claims on batteries, the same has happened for years in the R/C World with some dramatic claims from battery manufacturers, only to be proved as complete lies once the pack was tested. ( Big give away with the HCigar pack is its far smaller than the Efusion battery. )
read that post yesterday, and im already on them to see what they have to say for themselves
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
Ok guys, we got the word from Lost Vape just now about shipping the rest of the Efusions, and how to change the battery on the Efusions. Purple, Silver and Blue units will be shipped this week, including the batteries, and the rest of the colours will be shipped next week. To replace the battery, you simply have to remove gently one of the carbon fibre panels (either of them, and it should be easy we've been told) and then you gonna see 2 screws under the panel. When you remove the screws, you will be able to see the battery and the connector on the bottom:)
Will the efusion arrive before the end of September vapegeek ?
We have to apologise on our, and Lost Vape behalf for the delay of your Efusion or Epetite pre-order. They had a bit of hard time with one of the shops providing the anodising for both mods, so whole batch had to be thrown away.
Everything is back to normal now, and we are expecting them to be shipped this week.
As soon as the tracking number is received, we'll notify you on the product page on the website.
