battery life query

[Popeye]

Hey all. I picked up a vt box 200 to try out the dna 200 chip and to be fair it vapes really well. I usually use it at 70w. I used the same build on a series 18650 regulated at the same power and it lasted much longer. Has anyone else noticed poor battery life with these? Thanks

[VapingBad]

What are the Watt Hours of each set up?

[Popeye]

18650 series would be 18.5 and the lipo should be 19.98Wh

So theoretically i should get around the same life, but i really dont.

[/QUOTE] Ive got the vt box too buddy and like you am a bit disappointed with battery life. Ive got mine set up the same as you at 19.98wh cell soft cut off 3.9v ive noticed it lasts a bit longer now I've changed fade out time on screen. And also screen brightness 100% was far too much as its a bright screen anyway. Other than that I'm very pleased with the device.my first one went back so Ive got the so called v2 with previous issues all fixed. First one was black n red. This one is black n white. Anyway enjoy n happy vaping buddy

[Popeye]

Sorry, it should be 14.5 on my series box and 19.98 on the lipo i used 3 cells instead of 2 so apologies for that.

I am impressed with it tbh, mine is a v2 black and red ive pulled it apart and its got the pressed 510 and the battery connectors are on as they should be

My soft cutoff is at 3.09 as standard, ive changed the screen brightness and the fade it seems to have improved a little but i would love to get a day out of it with my casual setup.

im vaping mine at between 55 and 65 watts with a vengeance sub tank at 0.2ohm and do manage to get a days vaping .. if i push the wattages up etc no doubt id be in trouble re all day charge.. amazing device though,

[Popeye]

im at 70w on a 0.25 build dripper im lucky to get a decent evening at that lol

Did you find it got better as time went on?

What battery Wh settings are you using?

19.98wh is the correct setting for battery. Your using quite a bit of power on the build and wattage your using buddy

It's highly doubtful the battery pack in the VTbox200 is actually 1800mah.  I'd suggest you run the Battery Analyzer to see what your really getting out of it.  I think mine came in at about 14.5Wh, more comparable to a 1300mah battery.

[Popeye]

well i guess i could just plug the 14.5 value in? It cant differ that much from one battery to another surely coming from the same manufacturer

On a 2000 mah maxamps lipo, 22.2 watt/hours I'm getting nearly two days normal vape time while I'm piddling with work on the side (I vape for my career, I only work to pay the bills   ) on 80 watts kanthal, a day and a half vaping a good bit. And I'm an insomniac who doesn't sleep much. I have a LiPo charger so sometimes I'll cut it closer than I normally would and not charge it at 45- 50% the first night and go on through the second day.

I'd like to have a bit more battery life if possible.

[scoopy]

I don't think think that will fit in there.....he was just talking about the battery life on that one.....but it is a maxamps 2000 mah 11.1 3s lipo found on maxamps.com

[vidalcris]

@Popeye : Someone on a french forum said that the battery on the Vtbox200 is 1220mah .. he measured that with a external charger.

I also got the VTbox200 and i will try with something around 14Wh to see what happen
For now i'm waiting for my new chipset because the first one is dead

so do you think the settings at 1998wh is too high and would cause the battery damage? They don't seem to be what it said on the tin . Vapecige twats

[scoopy]

Do note that he said 1220 MAH not WH......although the 1998WH does sound high......u have to do a calculation to convert it to WH or WATT HOURS

[vidalcris]

Yeah if this is really a 1220mah lipo then the watt hours is : 1.22 x 11.1 = 13.542Wh

[Popeye]

Really wish they were more accurate with the info could have built one instead and known exactly what was in it

Having looked, i think the biggest lipo that will fit is going to be a 1500mah

[vidalcris]

@Andy Clem : have you received my reply to your pm ? Look like i cannot send any pm 

[andy clem]

yes mate ive been off on escribe ill read them now thanks buddy 

[vidalcris]

@Andy clem : ok thanks

[andy clem]

what does the 10c 30c and 100c mean thats printed on the back of the battery pack ? help please

[awsum140]

The 10C and so on indicate the MAXIMUM discharge rate that the battery is capable of, safely.  For example a 10C, 1000mah, battery can be safely discharged at a 10amp continuous rate.  What boggles my mind is seeing 4000 and 6000mah battery packs with 100C ratings.  That's some really serious power!
