So far I've been charging them between 15-30 min and I get about 6 days worth of juice out of them. But by day 6 the taste is pretty much gone. Wondering if charge time plays a role in this. Google has been very unhelpful getting an answer (shocker).

They’re going to have an absolutely tiny battery. Somewhere around 50-300 milliamperes so i would imagine no more than 30-45 minutes regardless of what wall wart you have them plugged in to.

When you say juice, do you mean vaporizer liquid or battery ‘juice’ (capacity)? Im going to assume y oh mean battery capacity since the only way to fix the vape juice issue is more juice or a new disposable.

Battery starts at 4.2ish volts. As battery gets used, voltage drops. 2.8-3.2 volts is usually considered ‘dead’, depends on charge controller. When approaching 2.8-3.2v the battery just doesnt have the nuts to drive the coil. The result is less vapor produced. Less vapor produced means flavors are washed out or muted. Sweet flavors also tend to gunk up coils, which can also mute flavors/vapor produced.

Thanks for the info.

It's conceivable that running at a lower wattage could crud up the coils more quickly, so charge it all the way. I hope this goes without saying, don't make a disposable your main vape it's obscenely wasteful

Would recommend looking into small USB charged non disposable vapes. I got an xros 3 starter pack for around the same price as 1 disposable vape ($30) and it's lasted me over a year so far. I only need to buy juice like once a month and new pods every other month

Battery lasts a few days and fully charges in less than an hour

Yes this is a good one!

Do you find that your vape tastes the same as disposables? I just switched over from cigarettes as they've started to make me feel nauseous and even throw up as I only really smoke once a week...but I remember that vapes that are reusable taste pretty harsh compared to disposables. I die a little bit thinking of throwing away each one :/

I feel like the flavor is about 90% as strong as an elf bar but the biggest factor is the juice you get.

I don't swap flavors a lot, usually just go through 1 bottle at a time and you'll notice the amount of flavor slightly decrease as the pod nears the end of its life but its not something I'd ever consider returning to disposables over.

Fully charge it. Does it have an indicator light for charging vs full? Even the most garbage of vapes shouldn’t let you over charge the battery. Just leave it charging until it’s full and top it up from time to time.

The battery in your vape is the same type that’s in your phone.

If it's usb-c rechargeable, you can often charge them with your phone if you're in a pinch

Is it a built in battery? Those are a bit harder to gauge compared to removable li-ion batteries

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah built in, I wonder if I charge it to full if the light will shut off

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

I don't think charge time has anything to do with it.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

I see, well then 30 min sounds good I guess.

You can also refill the Lost Mary ones at least if you gently pry off the top. It probably works for most of the others.
