Help with Mahs and volts

[audiophile]

Please help me understand how the mah and volts affect Battery life.
If I can get 8 hours from 600mah @ 3.7v on the ego would I get approx. 11 hrs. from the little chuck 880mah@3.7v

and 34 hrs. with the big chuck at 2600mah@3.7v?

the silver bullet @ 2400mah and 3.7v would give 32 hrs?

many of you have gone to 6 volts with these mods and don't want to go to lesser volts anymore.

altsmoke does not recommend staking batteries to achieve 6 volt yet most owners of the bullet seem to be doing this.

I would like a mod that would give me the option of 3 or 6 volts in one device and batt life is important to me.

how does a higher voltage affect the battery life? Do 2 cr123a batts. =750 mahs or 1500mahs?

does twice the volts mean the batts are used twice as fast?

Would 6 volts allow me to feel more satisfied and thus vape less? Does it just give harsher throat hit and more vapor while using more juice?

please help me understand your 3 vs 6 opinions.

I would say it varies, though it should not vary. Some battery company's over rate their product while some under rate their product. The AW batteries found at lighthound.com are a closer true MaH rating than Tenergys, Trustfires, or Ultrafires. The voltage also is affected by your atomizer, and what the draw is off the atty. Not all mods are created equal and some have cleaner connections than other producing less reistence and therefore less draw to make your atty work. I would love to be able to spit out numbers at you, but even if I could they would probably be wrong due to all the variables involved. Hopefully someone else can answer the question better if my opinion on the matter did not help.

Thank you Baby Huey! The Brand info on batteries is good to know. I am trying to do my research but it can get confusing going from thread to thread and videos which for the reasons you mentioned can not be more specific.

Let's further confuse you.

The eGo/Tornado are actually providing only 3.1V, under load, as is the standard Joye 510 batt. If your are using a real Joye 510 atty (2.2ohms) you are pulling about 1400mA (1.4A). If you were using a clone 510 atty (3ohms) you are only pulling about 1000mA. The clone atty should drain the battery slower, hence more vape time.

Using a 3.7V battery in a no-frills American mod or home-brew box/flashlight mod will get you to about 3.8V, under load. In this case the Joye atty is pulling about 1700mA and the clone 1300mA. The higher the AMP draw the faster the battery will drain.

In general we can say that a 600mAh battery in 'The Chuck' (3.8V) will not last as long as a 600mAh battery in an eGo (3.1V). But the last part of the equation is WATTS (power/heat) and how that relates to AMPS. The higher the AMP draw , the higher the 'heat' (WATTS/power).

As an example someone using a Joye 510 ecig is used to vaping at about 4.4W. Now they buy a 3.7V volt Chuck. Using the same atty they are now vaping at 6.5W. A noticeable difference.

You can pluck some numbers into this to see the relationships.

Oye vay! Is there a dummies version or some reading for a total beginner that anyone can recommend? That conversion tool looks cool if only suppliers provided the info to punch in cause I am lost. "The ohm is defined as a resistance between 2 points of a conductor when a constant potential difference of 1 volt, applied to these points, produces in the conductor a current of 1 ampere, the conductor not being the seat of any electromotive force.[1]

\Omega = \dfrac{\mbox{V}}{\mbox{A}} = \dfrac{\mbox{m}^2 \cdot \mbox{kg}}{\mbox{s} \cdot \mbox{C}^2} = \dfrac{\mbox{J}}{\mbox{s} \cdot \mbox{A}^2}=\dfrac{\mbox{kg}\cdot\mbox{m}^2}{\mbox {s}^3 \cdot \mbox{A}^2} =\dfrac{\mbox{HP}}{745.69 \cdot \mbox{A}^2}

In many cases the resistance of a conductor in ohms is approximately constant within a certain range of voltages, temperatures, and other parameters; one speaks of linear resistors. In other cases resistance varies (e.g., thermistors).

Commonly used multiples and submultiples in electrical and electronic usage are the milliohm, ohm, kilohm, and megohm."[ Looks like a foreign language to me!
