00MustangMom Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I have to charge my eGO T about every 24 hours, which is a royal pain in the ***. What can I do to get longer battery life from it or do I need an upgrade/mod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 If you want to stay with an eGo style battery I would suggest you get a Vision Spinner 1300. Even chain vaping they last a looooong time. It's a variable volt so if you don't crank it up you can get even more time out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00MustangMom Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 How much do they cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 (edited) At GotVapes they sell for $27.95 plus s&h, which if pretty low if you go first class mail. Here's a link to the purple one. They also come in blue, black, chrome, silver, black and pink. Oops. Sorry, that's the link to all the Spinners. Just scroll down the page... http://www.gotvapes.com/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&x=0&y=0&keyword=spinner&dfrom=mm%2Fdd%2Fyyyy&dto=mm%2Fdd%2Fyyyy Do a search for Spinner and scroll down until you get to the 1300 mAh.

00MustangMom Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 OK, I just ordered one from the VaporStore for $24.95 plus $2.99 s+h. Can't wait! Did I need a new charger with that or will my regular one work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBeckster Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Your regular one will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper Ron Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Use the eGo as a back-up and your good to go Tam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbk567 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 its all about the battery size. I would suggest a battery with 1100mah or more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

00MustangMom Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 I got my Vision Spinner 1300 yesterday and, so far, love it. One question, though - does it have to be set at an exact voltage (say, 4.3V) or can I dial it anywhere in between say, 4.3V and 4.8V that makes me happy? So far, I have it set just north of 4.3V and it seems to be working just fine, I was just wondering if that meant I was getting actually a tad more than 4.3V or if that was just wishful thinking. Thanks guys for all your help on this topic so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00MustangMom Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 (edited) Helpful tip for any total noobies out there switching from an eGO-T to a Vision Spinner: I couldn't figure out how to charge the VS so I looked it up. It doesn't charge on the bottom from a USB port like the e-GO, it charges from the top, so you need to buy the recommended charger with it (all told, at MyVaporStore.com the Vision Spinner 1300 was $24.95 and the rapid charger was $6.75). It came partially charged 2 days ago and I'm just having to charge it now, so all in all I'm already getting much better battery life from the VS and the vaping's much more to my liking too now that I can "dial in" exactly what I like.

Afallucco Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 (edited) Also, you can get more battery life from a higher resistance atty/tank. It's all about the amps you're running. A battery at 4 volts on low resistance draws a higher current (amps) then 4.3 volts at a higher resistance. On a 2.4 head at 4.3 volts you're running about 8 watts but your current is 1.62amps. On a 2ohm head running 4 volts you're at 8 watts again but your current is 2amps. It's not just higher voltage gets you less battery life.

00MustangMom Posted May 3, 2013 Author Share Posted May 3, 2013 OK, but I'm really not there yet with understanding how to do that. All I know is, I get what I get from my Vision Spinner and it lasts me a certain amount of time at whichever voltage I have it dialed in at (you guys have to allow for the learning curve of non-technically-inclined noobs like me). I do appreciate it every time someone like you offers an explanation for something, though, because even when I can't understand all of it I'm understanding more all the time, and I'm learning more every day. So thank you for taking the time to read and respond to posts like mine. daleron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a lower current at higher resistances running at higher voltage than you do with low resistance running at a lower voltage giving the same Power output.
