Recently purchased an eVic . I thought that 18650 would last all day. I know it all depends puff length,voltage settings,screen settings, and etc. So I was wondering if you start out with battery at 100% and a 2.4 omh head. wattage at 5.2 w., 3.5 volts .How my puffs should I expect? I start the day off 1250 puffs on battery at 100%. However I can only get about 700 puffs in 8hrs. I burn about 5 mg of eliq. I tried a 3500mah batt. but it really didn't help much. I guess,what performance should I expect? (battery's are Samsung)

I used to use those pink Samsungs in my Vamo V2. Set at around 7.5 watts I could go through about 5-6mls of juice and still have about 3.7 volts in the battery at the end of the day. Don't forget the Vamo doesn't have that fancy screen to drain power though.
Just re-reading your post, you are saying that you used to be able to get 1250 puffs and now you can only get 700? If that is the case, how old are the batteries, how many charge cycles you think they have had and what charger are you using for them?

Wow Samsung really that good?
Im going to have get them
I'm using Panasonic 2600 mah in mine Im at 3.7 now going through 5-6 ml's
and even though the vamo is the main device I am also using ctwist as well
For new, quality batteries (such as the Panasonics you see recommended here so often), a good rule of thumb is that at the average level of voltage output, a 2600mAh battery will last you 2,600 / 100 = 26 hours of nearly continuous use. If you crank up the voltage using a VV type device, that performance drops.
Performance also drops with time, as "rechargeable battery" does not equal "immortal battery." All rechargeable batteries should be considered consumable and they will eventually need replacing.
Performance also drops with the quality of the batteries themselves. Better batteries last longer per charge and tend to to have a longer lifespan. You can take about 10-15% off of the time between charges for cheaper rechargeables. Even rechargeables "lose" power over time even when not in actual use.
See a top of the line truck battery that has been in a vehicle or equipment for a long time, especially with extensive temperature changes. A relatively new battery refused to start a piddly little 1.5 ton Bobcat after sitting from Christmas through Memorial Day and needed charging.
I use Panasonics in some GPS equipment I use when doing damage surveys. They are, by far, the best brand available right now and they are what I consider "critical assets." Critical assets must work, as designed, when they're needed to.

I use panasonic gray 2250mah and i get over 2 days of vaping, i have a vamo so no puff count but i go through about 6ml at least at 7 to 8 watts. got 4 of them off amazon for 20bucks
I also have a Vamo V2 and I am currently using Efest 18650 2600mAh batteries purchased from DV. They definitely last longer than my 2250 mAh's and I am very satisfied. I use Protanks a lot (usu 2.2 ohm heads) and they do go thru the batteries. JD
Most batteries are the same junk. The Mah is in Chinese and can stand for anything they feel like. They make fake wrappers all the time and put them on junk batteries that can be dangerous. The best batteries that are consistently good are made by Panasonic who also has the Sanyo brand name. They rock and you can't go wrong with them. Get protected batteries so you don't have to worry about overcharging them and killing them. One great site for batteries is Fast Tech use the code BLF for 5% off. Sanyo 2600's are a great buy.
