Cincikid Posted July 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 The original battery ran great for 6 months then developed a bad cell... would not charge but to certain point, opened it up and puffed-up cell 3. So i went searching and read that the vt200 had the same battery and there was a replacement being sold. Did some looking found it on fasttech but being the impatient guy i am I didn't want to order from them. Measured the dimensions of the oem and found the best replacement i could find for the time being. At the same time i placed myself on some stock alerts with diff US sites and a couple days ago sweetvapes emails me saying the vt replacement battery is back in stock. Not thinking i recycled my original batt and have since forgot the measurements⦠So I have no way to verify and just looking at the 900 in the s200 case it's tight as is. Was hoping a member of the forum has replaced there S200 battery with the vt replacement and could confirm that it will fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrookedPenguin Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 Fasttech has them in stock as well, I have one on the way as I type.I assume it's well known by now that even though it's advertised as a 1300mAh battery it's only somewhere between 1000 and 1100mAh.

Cincikid Posted July 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 Was supposed to ship 20-22... Shipping label created but not in route as of 26th.Review on VapeNW say that the replacement to be actual 1300. The original battery lasted me a whole day so original specs are acceptable to me. We will see, when it arrives i will analyze and report back... Should i give it a couple cycles or is it ok to analyze on first charge after shipping?

It last just a tad longer then my Nugget (1000mAh) with the same set-up. The Cuboid mini is rated @ 2400mAh and it last about twice as long as the VT200.

Cincikid Posted August 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Sorry guys. I'm not able to give you any data on the HCigar replacement batt. I'm having a problem with my s200, for some reason when it goes idle cell 3 drains and unbalanced the lipo. Same with 3 different Batteries. Any ideas... I contacted my supplier and am waiting to hear back. If I can in the future I will post the battery analyzer results in a new thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwcraig1 Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Mine, Vtbox200, and some others had a bit of e liquid between the JST connector that's on the board and the board doing some minor conducting causing cell 3 to drain slowly if sitting a few days.

Cincikid Posted August 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 Thanks for your reply. I am still within the warranty period so I'm hesitant to open anything up. It wouldn't be a big deal to spray the board with some sort of recommended electronics cleaner but... I guess i'll go through the process and vape my mecs for now.

And I am sure you will got a few recommendations. Although if you are truly interested, I would search over at:http://www.eevblog.com/forum/index.phpAnd see if they suggest anything (I am sure they do). This is a forum for electronic engineers (which I am one). But I am sure hobbyists and others are there too. And you don't have to be an EE to have a passion for electronics. As anybody that has experience is what I trust most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gremdude Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 It ought to last three to four times longer than a Nugget. My Nugget is 800 Mah--not sure where you got the 1000 mah one---and I get about 50 puffs to a dead battery.CrookedPenguin said:Actually, I have to take that back.Looks like the battery just needed a few more cycles to come to life.
