Hello all, I've been having a few issues with my vape recently, any and all help would be greatly appreciated. To start here are my specs:
Mod: Sigelei 150w
RDA: Freakshow Mini
Batteries: 2x 18650 IMR 3.7v 2500mAh Efest
Charger: Single (one fits all) wall charger
Coils: 28g dual coil 8 wraps
Wick: Japanese Organic Cotton
Drip tip: Some short delrin tip (didn't come boxed w/ RDA)
So I've been vaping for a few months now but am fairly new to the dripping side. And I've been coming across newbie errors and mistakes left and right. There are just a few left that I can't seem to figure out on my own.
The first has to do with my Drip tip. It gets so flippin hot, to the point I can't take anymore. Just after 3-4 seconds of vaping, while only at 30w. I don't dare go past that. I have been told by friends and local shop owners that it has to do with my drip tip not being properly made for my RDA. It doesn't fit perfectly and sits fairly low to the deck. I believe I know that the fix to this is just a properly fit drip tip and on that is a bit longer to reduce the heat. I just want to confirm that this is the issue and that would be the fix. As well as to any suggestions to a better drip tip to my RDA. Picutres of RDA/Drip tip can be provided if needed.
My second, and more or less big issues, is my batteries. I have read across the internet that the efest 18650 are not all their cracked up to be. And in fact just big pos's. My issue is that they take nearly all day (8+ hours) to charge, only charge to 75% no matter how long they are charging, and deplete within a half hour. Now I understand that big Watts and Volts means more battery discharge and drain, but from 75% to 0% in a half hour only at 30w seems a little outrageous to me. If anyone has any tips as to any chargers/batteries that are a favorite or last longer or "work better" than what I'm dealing with, would be much appreciated.
Again pictures of device or any parts can be provided if necessary. Thanks for any help in advance.
