What is a bit worrying is that your freshly charged battery only measures 4.15V?
which battery are you using?
Hmmm.
What you said has me a bit worried now.
I just tested the Efest batteries that I have had for a Max of 2 months and they only measuring in at 4.13v
These were bought brand new.
The two AW's came from England and are originals. They both showing 4.15v
Tested with the Efest and AW batteries.
I have 2 of each.
Then it could be the charger not putting out a constant 4.2V during charging
I'm using an efest LUC V2.
I'm assuming I can do the same test with the charger as I do the batteries using your volt metre?
both are well rated battery. i have a fully charged efest with me. ill do a test real quick if i can find my multi meter
Yes you can while a battery is in the charging bay.
ok heres a strange one.
both were fully charged at 530am this morning.
first one is at 4.13v
second at 4.20v
both charged on the intellicharger
After this, how can we trust you to taste properly
Very interesting discussion. As an aside, @johan, how do you know when to discard a battery? Apart from the obvious. When it does not charge to a certain voltage anymore?
@MurderDoll my word choice was in a sense bad
All depends on the internal chemistry of the battery - as a rule of thumb: a battery's end-of-life indication would be an excessive self discharge; i.e: measured 4.2V freshly charged and within 12h or less self discharged to 3.9V or as you stated above.

Ha ha ha @Andre
You have a good point there.
In my defence I wasn't aware that it had to be coiled to check voltage drop on the coil. I thought it was between the battery and Atty itself.
@johan. Thanks for the advice. So basically best way to know is just keep monitoring the batteries on a weekly basis or if there are obvious signs.
I've had a good couple toots on the cyclone now.
In my personal capacity it does perform a bit better now. I can taste the HHV (although very slightly. Less than what I do with the Reomiser.)
For the costs involved its not worth it to me To get a Cyclone.
I'd love to test with another one to give a comparison. Maybe this one truly is a dud.

I am embarrassed - that was a response I typed when this discussion started, but decided against posting it as I did not want to reflect badly on your experimentation, even if it was meant to be in humour. But, as you know, this system keeps it in memory and I missed it when asking that question to @johan. Thank for taking it in good spirits. Was not intended to be denigrating at all. Sorry.Ha ha ha @Andre

Here is a pic of my 0.51 ohm dual coil build.

Clouds is ridiculous.
Vape extra crispy
Throat Hit is hard as hell
Cough... With every toot

yes it fits!
I've been fighting with my cyclops all night! Lol.
I easily built about 10 coils of which I cut off the leads with the post screws.
It's so weird though. I have to tighten them so much or else they don't make a proper connection. Hence why I've messed up so many coils!

Sometimes there are little metal shards stuck on the inside of the hole, which a small round file takes good care of. Also take out the screws and file the bottoms a bit.
Steal your wife/girl friends nail file and smooth out the screws. I did that on my Atomic and working 100% since
