Ah! Ok then. I'm good as I vape all day at my desk at work. If I'm actually busy, it will last longer - but hey, it's construction in California... NO ONE is busy.

This may be a silly question, but how do you really know when to change out the 18350 battery on the Little Chuck?
Is it about 3-4 hours of constant vaping? Will I notice a major dropoff of vape clouds? Is it bad to run it that low or better just to change it out and top it off before it seems like it needs it? I do have a few bats charged and ready to rotate. Just seems, since I am not a super heavy vaper, that I have been going all day, strong as ever...
Hey, this is my first Chuck and actually my first manual battery, so I have been use to the idiot light blinking on an auto 901 bat for all these months.
Thanks and Aloha

As we enter the lack of *blink*blink*blink* zone... LOL
I change mine when I notice a drop off in vapor (901 atty with cart) or if dripping on a 510, I notice I am hitting it harder and the atty sounds flooded even tho I am still getting decent vapor and I know it shouldn't be flooded. Since my Little chuck is new, I'm still learning its signals.
Basically, I notice I am no longer feeling satisfied with the quality of the vape. Then I just change the battery out and think... Ahhhh I love fresh batteries!
I keep 4 18350's in rotation and use 3 per day putting the third one in shortly before going to bed for the night. Per day for me = 5:30 am to about 11 pm if that helps.
On my big chuck I use one battery (18650) for 2 days pretty much but have pushed it to 3 once. 8-o

Thanks, Lalesa, I am sure I will notice the signs soon, and learn accordingly. I am so loving the flavor and the consistency with the Little Chuck, and have no need for more power or size, personally. I have always had good results with the little 901 and will still carry it with me for ease and convenience. Bt for pure dependability and extreme beauty, nothing compares to this Little Chuck!
I am definitely a happy camper!
Thanks again for taking the time...

I change mine out all the time even though they probably aren't even close to needing it. My charger is in the kitchen and I walk by it all the time, so I usually just swap them out without even thinking about it. The way I figure, if the light turns red, it was ready for a charge. Funny thing is, there have been times when I swapped it out and the light was green when I put the old one in, then I realize I just changed it an hour ago
So all that being said, I rarely notice any drop off in vapor.

Haven't noticed the drop off in vapor either, but I don't power vape during the day--just a few puffs here and there.
I usually swap them out every night, but some nights have gone by where I forgot, so I end up getting 2 full days out of the same one. I definitely swap them out after that.
Another way I can tell the batt's are lasting more than I'm drawing them down: when I swap out a "used" one for a freshly charged one, I don't notice any difference in vapor/throat hit...it's consistently the same experience. That's the great thing about these batt's: longer life per charge and consistent voltage over the life of the charge.

I'm going 24 hours on one 18350! I vape quite a bit. I can vape at work but I don't do it constantly there! Are you just being overly cautious or are they going dead?
Just changing them out when I notice a drop off in production.... you get 24 hrs
I mean, I don't have it attached to my mouth or anything at work... I save that for at home
... but I still have to change the batt a couple of times a day.

I get about a day to a day and a half on my 18350's.
Hmmmm, I think I'll really have to have hubby check the batts with mystery multimeter electrical do-hicky thing-a-bob.
Is it likely 4 batts would be bad or more likely the cheapy charger?

OK - I learned how to work the multi-meter and I've been checking my batteries when I feel they are going really low and change them. There is nothing wrong with my batteries.
All 4 batteries I checked charge at just over 4.0v and I wind up changing them at around 3.0 to 3.2v
Apparently, I like vaping at anything over 3.2v
That explains why I can't use my stock batts anymore too.

Hey guys, how about posting the manufacture and mah of the good and the bad 18350's.
I read a post this morning on 3 out of 4 dead batteries. He put the 3 dead ones in the freezer for an hour and then let sit at room temp, recharged and all was fine again.
Anyone have an issue with the 18350's in the TF-001 charger?

How was your order handled at Dealextreme? It took 2 weeks just for them to put it in the mail and another 1 1/2 weeks to get to my house.
