Question Battery Life?

OK I dropped my hopes for the Blu Cig and went for the 510. I must say the battery life on my unit really sucks. I cahnge the batts more than the carts on this thing and yes I did charge for a full 8 hours and then rechargefor two after a combined 20 mins of vaping the first time.

Can anyone reccommend a PV with a longer battery life? Post your experience and batt life approximations if you don't mind. Right now I am working on an analog (luckily I put my remaining packs in the freezer) because both batts needs charging and that is the result of at least one batt being on a charger at all times.

I believe everything has better battery life but the mods(janty stick, sd, gg prodigy, zimoshi)or home built has the real performance with batt life. I vape pretty heavy and a pcc with 3rd battery keeps me rolling in the 510

You need to keep a minimum of 3 batteries in rotation at all times. I have it down so simple, that it's not even frustrating. I keep my power pack with me at all times with the little small 510 USB charger. It only takes an hour to recharge the battery, so everything just rotates all day long and I'm never struggling with the batteries. My power pack is 3000 mAh and lasts for days and days and days and days and days without having to charge it.

Thanks for the info... Guess I'll buy another 510 kit (for batts and atomizers) and PCC to make sure I have batt life. The first one has already paid for itself as well as the extra juice so what the heck?

I'm not talking about a PCC. I think those are a waste of money. I am talking about a power pack and a usb charger. Your power pack can be double used for charging and for passthroughs. A PCC will only charge a battery 4 times in one day. My power pack can charge batteries for days on end.

If you want 6-8 hours of battery life and batteries that cost $2 instead of $13-$20 to replace and consistent, great throat hit, then here are your options:

Screwdriver: ecigscrewdriver.com
The Black Screwdriver Kit / Totally Wicked eLiquid / Electronic Cigarette e-liquid shop
Prodigy: PureSmoker.com - Home of the USA Built PV !!!
GG: THE GG
JantyStick: Janty USA
Zi Moshi Home

Anyone of these will do the trick and you will have one of the best PV's made.

Thanks for the info... did a quick google search and found it. So this is for use with a pass-through? At least as far as I can tell.
