If a replacement pod, different device or Vapestore product page makes sense, we will say so clearly and link to the relevant guide or tracked buying option.
I've had my NeXLIM for about 4 months and noticed the battery isn't lasting quite as long as it did initially. Used to easily get through a full day, now I'm charging it at lunchtime as well. Is this just normal battery wear or should I investigate something?
Some capacity loss over 4 months of daily use is normal – lithium batteries degrade with charge cycles. How quickly depends on charging habits. A few things that help going forward: don't routinely charge from empty, and don't leave it plugged in constantly after it's full.
Also worth checking if your wattage setting has crept up – it's easy to accidentally knock the control. Higher wattage = faster battery drain. A higher-resistance pod will also draw less power. If it's getting significantly worse over a short period rather than gradually, that would be more concerning.
Mine did the same around the 5-month mark. Just a reality of battery-powered devices. Vapestore's warranty covers manufacturing defects but not general wear – worth contacting them anyway if you feel the degradation is unusually rapid.
Appreciated. Checked my wattage and it had indeed gone up a notch – possibly knocked it. Dropped it back down and the battery life has improved noticeably. Could have been that all along. Good tip about checking that first.
