New2v@pe Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Hi All, new here and to vaping as per my post in the intro section. I have been using a SMOK OSUB Mini for almost 3 weeks, i see SMOK claims the unit has a low battery indicator, i assume it has to do with the flashing led but i have no idea what to look out for. I have run the battery flat twice now as i had no idea it was going flat... Can anyone assist in guiding me on this? i have spent sime time google'ing but have not foud anything specific on how it would alert me. thanks!!

Bebop Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 It appears to be just a standard battery Icon in the display. I don't know about yours butg mine starts blinking when the battery goes low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New2v@pe Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 Thanks, I have the osub mini which does not have a display. Only a flashing LED... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 According to this reviewer, one of the cons to this device is that there is no battery life indicator. She says that the LED light just blinks a bunch of times when you need to recharge. For such a basic unit, it seems pretty good. If you want more information from your mod, you may want to look at a different mod altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New2v@pe Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 Thanks for the info seems by the time I notice the flashing lights the battery is already flat. Will keep an eye on the flashes moving forward and see. Definitely keen on upgrading but I'm still new so don't want to jump into something expensive as yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bebop Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Yeah when that thing starts flashing you're on your last few hits... But you should also take a look once in a while and you'll see the indicator shrinking away. I believe your battery is only 1300 mah? That's not terribly large, especially if you are vaping lower than 1ohm coils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bebop Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Oops. I didn't see Tam's post. Yeah if the indicator isn't even telling you your drop-off then that can be annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New2v@pe Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 Correct , I have a 1200mah battery with a 0.4 coil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could also get a whole different mod, there are many out there that aren't very expensive -- and you can use the tank you already have.

Hawk73ku Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 I have this same 'Battery Low' issue where it fires for about a second and then gives battery low even on fully charged battery. I have a Smok Osub TC unit and it worked great when new but as time wore on and repeated change of battery the problem surfaced. In my case I believe I've tracked the problem to the battery chamber itself, specifically the tension supplied by the battery door is no longer sufficient to maintain a good connection. I found that if I apply manual pressure upward on the door and hold it the unit fires normally. But who wants to be squeezing the battery chamber to get contact just to vape! I haven't found a solution bu am considering an insert disc like a penny or something where I can get the door closed and still get good contact. If anyone has come across this and have a better solution, I'd like to know what you did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leadpipe58 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 How old is the battery? I have the same issue on a few of my mods because the battery can no longer put out the amps. Get a new or known good battery and give it a try. I get about a year and a half out of my battery's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
