Why Does My Vape Battery Run Out Before the E-Liquid?

Ever experienced running out of battery life even when there is e-liquid left in the vape? This happens often to people using rechargeable vapes and does not necessarily mean that anything is wrong with your vape.
Battery power and e-liquid are used in different ways, so they do not always reach empty at the same time. There are several factors that contribute to battery consumption, like the duration of your puffs, vaping habits, coil resistance, among others. The Randm Tornado 15000, for example, has an 850mAh rechargeable battery and 25ml e-liquid capacity.
This means the battery may need to be charged more than once before all the liquid is used. This blog post discusses why this happens and what you can do about it for a better experience.
Battery Power and E-Liquid Are Used Differently
The battery powers the coil with electricity; on inhaling, the coil gets heated and turns the liquid into a vapour. Therefore, each inhalation uses both energy from the battery and some e-liquid; the amounts differ, though.
There is only a certain amount of electricity stored in the battery. At the same time, there is much more e-liquid in the reservoir or pod. When the battery empties, the vape stops until you recharge it. That's why sometimes there is some liquid left when the battery runs out.
The Randm Tornado 15000 Has a Rechargeable Battery
The battery capacity of the Randm Tornado 15000 is 850mAh. This vape comes with an 850mAh lithium-ion battery, a tank capacity of 25ml, and a USB-C charging port. The battery of this vape is rechargeable, so it does not have to last until the e-liquid is depleted.
Long Puffs Drain the Battery Faster
Puff length is what impacts battery usage, meaning that a longer puff will heat the coil longer than a short one.
Taking short puffs may lead to better utilisation of the battery power than long puffs will. If you just switched from short to long puffs, it might mean that you have started draining the battery faster.
Vaping Frequently Can Empty the Battery Quickly
Vaping frequency determines how fast the battery is consumed. The more puffs one takes in a day, the more the coil is activated.
The individual who does not vape on a daily basis is bound to charge the vape less often than the one who puffs frequently.
Airflow Can Change Your Puffing Style
The Randm Tornado 15000 has adjustable airflow settings, allowing you to choose how open or tight the draw feels.
Open airflow is likely to give a more relaxed draw and also make you take bigger and/or more inhalations. Whereas a tighter airflow will give a different feel and probably affect the speed at which you puff.
Airflow does not affect battery drainage on its own. It may affect how you use your vape, and thus the more you puff, the faster the battery will drain.
Why the Battery May Need Several Charges
A rechargeable vape is not always designed for one battery charge to match the full amount of e-liquid available.
The Randm Tornado 15000 comes with 25ml of e-liquid and an 850mAh battery, where you can charge the battery using the USB-C charger and keep going until the liquid runs out.
In that way, needing charging even though there is still some e-liquid left may not necessarily mean that something is wrong. This is because the battery acts as the energy source, and the e-liquid is what is converted into vapour.
What Can You Do to Reduce Battery Drain?
To increase the time between charges, consider how you vape. Try not to take long puffs and avoid repetitive vaping without taking rests.
Make sure to follow the necessary charging procedure and have proper USB-C accessories at hand. Don’t expose the vape to any high temperatures and check it for any defects.
If you find that the battery is losing power faster compared to before, try to see whether anything has changed in the way you vape.
When Battery Drain Could Be a Problem
Some battery drain is normal, but certain warning signs should not be ignored.
If the vape becomes unexpectedly hot, shows damage, swells, or behaves unusually while charging, stop using it. Do not open the vape or try to remove its battery.
Charge the rechargeable vape according to the manufacturer's directions and do not use damaged chargers.
Conclusion
The vape battery may deplete earlier than the e-liquid since the rate at which they drain is different. The battery supplies power to heat the coil for every inhalation. However, the e-liquid usage depends on the duration and frequency of the puffs.
The Randm 15000 comes with an 850mAh rechargeable battery and 25ml e-liquid, which means that it may need to be charged before the e-liquid is used up. Its 0.9-ohm mesh coil and adjustable airflow may affect your vaping process and power consumption as well.
It is not always the case that a drained battery is a sign of a problem. Charge the vape as instructed and proceed to use the rest of the e-liquid. If the battery suddenly drains faster, becomes warm, or is damaged, stop using it immediately.
