Actual The Battery Technology is here & available, they just don't use it.

There Are Several Reasons Why Besides Expense and Do Not Forget "Planned obsolescence" Factor.

Just Like Any Major Razor Blade Company (no brands mentioned), They Can Make A Razor Thats Last A Lifetime.....

Keep Vapin!

GreenSmoke (Loongtotem V9-type).

Both batteries failed to hold a charge after 3 weeks of moderate vaping. not sure if it's the batteries or the charger, but I sent it all back and replacements are on the way.

Red Dragon (again, V9-compatible). Shorter batteries and shorter use-time, but both have been very reliable. USB charger works great, as does the wall charger. Going to use these chargers when I get my GreenSmoke batteries back to see if it helps.

Something like that would be good, especially if we got honest answers from owners & not suppliers.

Just My Thoughts,

All My Batteries Suck, Too Many Different Models & Brands Too Post!

Keep Vapin!

There are only fifteen options for votes on a poll so I suppose it would need a poll for each brand/model. There's no reason why it can't be done but it will take quite a bit of time for whoever sets it up and they'll need to have a good idea of all models available.

The DSE901 poll was set up because a trader was claiming a battery lasts a day and didn't realise that his experience was atypical.

Joye510 - 3 weeks moderate use. Both supplied batteries now very dead as of today, one of them died with an extremely nasty taste which made me feel ill. Both smell of burned electronics?

Evo - just over 2 months moderate use, both batteries still usable, but notably shorter life than when I got them.

Smoking Everywhere, Gold Batteries (2) 1 still going 1 died after 13 days. Heavy smoker always charged when light blinks said to, full 8 hour charge every time, rotated every time. One still going lasts 6-8 hours of steady vaping, 1 lasts about 2 hours light vaping and doesn't produce much vapor.

Truly a sign that quality assurance and consistancy is not used in production of e-cig products.

Thinking of switching to Cigarillo... at least the e-cigar batteries can be purchased at Walgreens or Radio Shack and be branded Energizer or Duracel to take the shotty manufacturing out of the equation.

ePuffer EAZE Super Mini, 3 batts, I may have gotten 2 weeks use out of all three (btw terrible e-cig!)

901 - 4 or 5 batts. A few went out and were replaced until i figured out to drip a couple drops of water into the battery to fix the stuck switches (at your own risk works perfect for me)

401 Pilot - 3 batts. rotated two for a month now with no issues (the switch stuck on one but again dripped a drop of water in to clean the gunk out, now good as new)
