Whilst I enjoy your optimism have you actually run a mock up to try and prove this?
Your battery is going to be tiny in comparison to other devices and I really don't see how this can be possible.
My current conduction device has a 3000mah battery and I can just about eek a days worth of my use out of one. My back up uses a cell and a half.
I suggest you check out your competition and see how long their batteries actually last for.
A lot of companies have suggested some unreal run times which customer usage has shown.
Real time testing is the only way you can prove your this. Do some, prove it and then tell us the actual figures.
If you over hype the battery I can assure you that flak will come your way by the bucket load.
Well optimism is the way to go!
Just out of curiosity what kind of vaporizer are you using? Would it possibly be conduction for dry herb?
We will definitely conduct all the testing once when we get the prototype in hand. However, based on our battery capacity ranges (capacity depends on the finalized thickness), we can determine the approximate minimum and maximum life of the battery in number of puffs. Once the testing is complete we will get back to everyone with more concrete information.
We have looked into other micro vapes and I have had a couple of my own.
For example, the micro-G-pen: From my experience using the Micro G-pen (300-350mAh), the battery would last me a while, considering I wouldn't use it really heavily. I would use it for maybe 1-2 sessions per day. So one charge would last me an extended amount of time. Whereas if a heavy/really frequent user was using it, then it may not even last a day or two.
It really just comes down to how heavy the usage is of the vaporizer. So how long the battery lasts is really subjective to the user.
I may not have gotten my thought out in its entirety in the last post. I forgot to include context. Although we do expect Zepto to last several days (depending on frequency of usage), the fact that you wouldn’t need to bring the charger with you is based around the expectation/assumption that the user comes home at the end of the day and sets Zepto down to charge. Similarly enough to the way smart phone users come home at the end of the day and set their phone to charge. With that said, at the very least (at moderate/heavy use), Zepto will last the day until you return home.
On a side note: I have conducted a test on an old micro G-pen battery of mine.
Constants in the experiment-
-The battery was charged (This is an old G-pen battery that does not even have a multi color led indicator of battery life)(Not 100% sure that the battery was fully charged due to issues with the charging connection)(I will redo this experiment with a new battery soon)
-I hold down the power button to activate the coil for the full 10 seconds till the 10 second cut-off
-I do this as many times consecutively till the blue LED flashes 10+ times indicating that it is dead and the coil no longer activates
-Due to activating the coil consecutively for the full 10 seconds straight I added an air pump to control the temperature, and this would also simulate a slow draw.
-Brand new coil
Results-
91 "Draws" at 10 seconds per draw
So there you have it, 91 draws at 10 seconds per draw. I would expect that the battery life was also reduced due to the rapid bombardment (it did not get any rest in between). The device was never meant to run for practically 15 mins straight. If I had not added the air pump to cool it off, it would have began melting. I even felt the battery heating up which is usually a sign of strain on the battery. I would consider this the ultimate stress test of the micro G-pen.
Personally I don’t usually run my vaporizers to the 10 second cut-off. And if I did, it would be on a rare occasion. But I mainly wouldn’t do so because the coil burns the oils and degrades the flavor, which I personally dislike. So I prefer to take shorter more flavorful pulls. Regardless, the flavor degrades over the duration, just slower than if I were to hold it down for 10 seconds straight. This would also explain my experience with a pro-longed battery life. Lets say the user were to make strictly 5-6 second draws, then that would easily get 180 draws and then some, because theres less strain on the battery. I wouldn't be surprised if it got well over 200 draws.
