Need help with evic

[Ravynshadow]

I have had my evic for several months and I love it but recently it has been going threw battery charges like crazy. Before I could make the battery that came with it last two days but now it last about a half day so I put in a 3200 mah battery and still it is barely lasting a day last night just before bed it showed 55 percent left so I used it for another ten minutes and in that ten minutes it went from 55 to 15 so what is going on any ideas I have tried the battery that came with it 2600 mah, an aw 2000 mah battery I bought and the 3200 mah battery but none are lasting as long as they should this just started about four or five days ago. Any evic users have this problem and how did you fix it?

I have the latest update installed the 1.4 I think it is and I haven't changed the way I use it so any help please I can't have it going threw two or more batteries in a day and I have limited funds to buy anything new (like no funds at all) and I really do like the evic

What VV VW are you using it at ? And what batteries are you using ?

Sorry it took so long i usually use 3.0 to 3.3 v that is the range I am in most of the time and all the batterie I use are 18650s I use
Samsung ICR 3.7v 2600 mah
Ultra fire 3.7v 3200 mah
AW IMR 3.7v 2000 mah

Up until the last few days the samsung lasted me for two days but now it's down to about a half day and the aw lasted me a full day but since this started I only get about a quarter day out of it and the ultra fire I just got thinking the other two were bad but it doesn't last me a day either I very rarely go over 3.3 v while I'm vaping I do at times but not for long enough periods to justify that bad of a decline in battery time

I have 2 and have never noticed any unusual drain from the eVic itself.
Are you using an external charger?
Have you checked Full charge Voltage with a multimeter?
Are you allowing Batteries to Cool before placing on a Charge?
Are you allowing Batteries to sufficiently cool after charging before use?
Have you increased your Vaping habit?

My vote is Premature Battery failure possibly do to charging issues.
I use an external charger only and have from the beginning. The original and my Panasonic CGR's are all still like new after a year of use.
I Vape at 7w-8w averaging 3.5-4.3 volts due to coil resistances used.

I think one of the things I have done has fixed it but I'm not sure what one first I reinstalled the latest update 1.4 I think it is also I took the battery out and held down the fire button for a bit and I also use an external charger. I have noticed just today that when I use the evic to charge my battery it doesn't seem to last as long so I think one or a combination of all these things have fixed it. The last time I charged my pink battery that came with the evic I used an external charger then put it in my evic and used it all day yesterday and when I went to bed it was still at 55 and that is about what I usually get out of that battery (2 days). Thanks for your help and suggestions I will have to remember to always allow my battery to cool before doing anything with it, I try to but sometimes I forget. I also think it's time for a better external charger and some new batteries so hopefully soon I will get some and then I can always use an external charger (sometimes I have to use the evic to charge a battery).
