It's a built in battery. After a year or more it will gradually hold less and less of a charge and fade away eventually just stopping but it won't matter because by then you'll have 5 or 6 different devices

Ce3........ WTH

I just received a Templar AIO kit by Vapor Talk in the mail yesterday. Since setting it up I have been vaping on it exclusively. Here are my first impressions. Packaging: Very nice box art. It is definitely representative of the Vapor Talk brand. If I hadn’t already seen photos of the device I would have been tearing into the box in anticipation of checking out the contents. Instead, I tore into the box in anticipation of actually getting my hands on what was inside. The contents: It’s no frills. You get the mod, 2 coils, the standard USB charging cable and a manual that is easier to understand than most I have seen. The mod: Very simple to set up and operate. The hinged cover for the charging port (located on the bottom of the device) easily swings out of the way and has a magnet to keep it in place when the cover is in the ‘closed’ position. The top comes off easily, even with the child proof design. I had no trouble screwing a coil on and filling the reservoir/tank couldn’t have been simpler. The appearance is sleek, fits well in my hand and appears to be constructed well. There do appear to be a couple of minor differences and/or omissions between the manual and the device. The manual says the charging light will flash 4 times to indicate a successful connection. I connected the device to 6 different ports with two different charging cables and each time I got a solid red light. This was after the initial “charging” because the fact the light didn’t flash 4 times was actually brought to my attention after the fact. The device also must have been mostly charged because the charging light went from red to green in a matter of minutes. The other omission I noticed from the manual is the battery mAh rating. It isn’t listed in the manual but is listed on the VT website – 1000 mAh. Operation: Charge it, 5 clicks to turn on, press the fire button, inhale and enjoy. It doesn’t get much simpler than that. Experience: Overall it will serve as a very capable backup for me. I have been using it exclusively for close to 24 hours as of this writing and other than the fact that I might need to step up the nicotine it has served its purpose. I normally vape 3mg between .1 and .2 ohms, so going to .5 ohm just isn’t giving me the same “hit” I’m used to. I have done everything from short 1-2 second drags to longer 8-10 second drags. Casual hits every few minutes to chain vaping. The tank does get warm when chain vaping. I will admit that I was actually hoping it would serve as a nice little stealth vaping device, but with .5 ohm coils and the way I do DTL hits, that just isn’t going to happen for me. It might be a little stealthier if I up my PG, as the juice I have in it right now is a 10/90 PG/VG ratio, but even if I switch to a 50/50 or even a 60/40 I think I’m going to be producing quite a bit of vapor simply based on the way I vape. The airflow does not appear to be adjustable. That’s fine and doesn’t take away from the operation of the device; it’s just tighter than my personal preference. Appears to vaporize the liquid and utilize the battery very efficiently. I am still on the original 2ml of liquid I put in the tank, though I’m definitely getting toward the bottom end of that. By comparison, I would have easily gone through 6-9ml of liquid with one of my normal setups with the amount of vaping I have done and I would have easily drained 2 2500 mAh batteries, though I have no idea how close to drained the battery is. At 1000 mAh I would have though I'd have had to charge it a couple of times by now, but I'm still on the original charge.

Thank you! Yeah I found that website the same day I found VT. I ordered Bavarian Creme and Banana Creme by TFA, Sweet Cream by Cap, Menthol by FA to start working on smoothing out some of my mixes and trying to replicate another juice I am fond of.

Most mods today are pretty well protected against battery mishaps. Regardless, these are powerful batteries capable of producing a LOT of current and need to be respected. For that matter, any battery needs to be used with care. A 1.5V AA or a 9V can even produce a significant amount of heat if shorted and depending where this occurs i.e. it's surroundings, the ramifications could be ugly. Obviously, Samsung just picked up on that little fun fact recently. And yes, you hit the nail on the head, hype. Vaping is obviously being politicized and they hype has hit epidemic proportions and there are an abundance of headline scanners willing to jump in and play Chicken Little.

Of the mods I have with a built in battery, when they go bad they just stop working. That's just my experience, though. Like @Bebop said, by the time you need to worry about that, you'll have several more new SHINY toys to play with.

Some of the indcaatoers of a battery at the end of it's life are. Runs out quickly,charges quickly and the device will throw codes or stop working properly. I would contact Smok or see were there service is. I am betting it will cost more to fix then the cost of a new one. Time for a new mod.

Excellent review! (I'll be gather up any reviews that pop up on the forum and sending them along to the team) We spent quite a bit of time on this device as AIO's are becoming popular. It's especially important as TPD sets in place over in Europe. I agree, the LED fiasco needs to be fixed. Luckily, this should easily be addressed. During testing we were able to adjust the device via the USB port. The software is not user friendly but I'll bring up the possibility of a potential firmware update.

Love new toys....

I just got mine today (yes, USPS did deliver on a Sunday). As most who know me know I'm old school and still vape a VV ego with ce3's but I'm really digging this tank/coil setup. I'm not a "cloud chaser" but I like the vapor I can produce with this. Plus 1 on this mod @Christopher.

Been hitting this for a few hrs now other than the red light green light issues I mentioned earlier Im diggin it for its size its feels great in the hand and the flavor from my DIY juice is amazing

X2 on Bavarian cream When I mix I use flavors I know I like so if it doesent come out perfect I know its still vapeable

Good luck to you with your DIY mixing, remember what tastes good to someone else might not taste good to you, and the other way around too. Draino is easy to mix, and also wet sock flavor.
