The battery life of rechargeable e-cigarettes varies significantly depending on brand, model and battery capacity. Mainstream products usually meet daily usage needs, while some high-end models support long battery life or fast charging functions. The following is the specific analysis:
First, the core influencing factors of battery life
Battery capacity
The battery capacity of mainstream products ranges from 350mAh to 1800mAh. The larger the capacity, the stronger the battery life. For example:
The Platypus e-cigarette is equipped with a 530mAh battery and supports approximately 4000 pups.
A certain product of Relx is equipped with a 1800mAh battery, which can support approximately 18,000 suction ports, meeting the all-weather usage requirements.
Some high-end models (such as the Relx Zeus Frontier) are equipped with a 400mAh battery and achieve higher performance output through optimized circuit design.
Usage frequency and suction habits
Light users (with a daily suction frequency of no more than 50 times) can support a battery life of 2 to 3 days.
Heavy users (with a daily suction frequency of ≥100 times) need to charge daily, but fast charging technologies (such as Type-C interface) can reduce the charging time to 30-60 minutes.
Standby performance
High-quality products have low standby power consumption. For instance, a certain model of Relx can maintain battery power for up to 72 hours in standby mode, making it suitable for short-term business trips.
Second, battery life performance in different scenarios
Daily commuting/office work
Products with battery capacities ranging from 380mAh to 530mAh can meet all-day demands without the need to carry a charger.
Long-distance travel/business trip
It is necessary to choose a product with a battery capacity of ≥1000mAh or carry a power bank. Some models support solar charging (such as a certain innovative product), but the actual application scenarios are limited.
Heavy usage scenarios
Attention should be paid to the fast charging function. For example, the Relx Phantom Pro supports Type-C fast charging, which can charge to 80% of the battery in 30 minutes.
Third, technologies for enhancing battery life
Low-power circuit design
By optimizing the chip algorithm to reduce standby power consumption, for instance, the standby power consumption of Relx products is 30% lower than that of traditional models.
Intelligent power management
Some high-end models are equipped with display screens (such as the 1.77-inch smart animated screen of the ELF BAR AF5000), which show the remaining battery power and the number of suctions in real time.
Battery material upgrade
The lifespan of lithium-ion batteries can reach 1 to 2 years. Although nickel-metal-hydride batteries have a shorter lifespan (6 to 12 months), they support more charging cycles (≥500 times).
Fourth, purchasing suggestions
Light user
Choose products with batteries ranging from 350mAh to 530mAh, such as the Relx Phantom Pro (380mAh) or the Platypus e-cigarette (530mAh).
Heavy user
Give priority to products with a battery capacity of ≥1000mAh, or models that support fast charging (such as Relx Zeus Frontier).
Business travel demand
Choose products with solar charging function or large-capacity batteries (such as 1800mAh), and carry a power bank as a backup.
Environmental Protection and Economy
The long-term usage cost of rechargeable electronic cigarettes is lower than that of disposable products. For instance, the single charging cost of a certain product from Relx is approximately 0.5 yuan, while the single usage cost of disposable products is about 3 to 5 yuan.
