You get 3-4
days out of a charge?...I think this observation may be a product of vaping style and what kind of device is attached to the connector over which batt type...for those that sometimes chain vape on a dual coil (like me), protection cct cut-out drives me nuts but for everyday tooting, protected's work fine...not sure there is a "one size fits all"
I agree. The Panasonic cells (which is what any 3100mAh cell is) certainly last long and are great choices used in series pairs in VV mods. But in a single cell device like the SB are just middling performers. There are many cells out there that will maintain a higher voltage longer
3-4
days out of a charge? It's more like 3-4 ml of liquid.
Here's an older test. 2A drain is about eqivalent of a ~1.9Ω atty.
If we use 3.4V as the cut-off (I really don't want to go any lower) you note that the Panasonic 2900 is bested by 3 cells in this test, the AW2600 (black trace, not Panasonic) looks a better choice, lasting longer and maintaining a higher voltage. Even for a non-discriminating 3.2V vaper the Panasonic trails it in voltage.
It's not just about total mAh, it's about
usable mAh for decent vaping.
The chart also shows the folly of using IMR 18650's stacked in a regulated mod. Here we can drag down the cells to 3V. Here's where the Panasonic shines.
Quigsworth hit the nail on the head.

The blanket recommendation of IMR's or Panasonic cells is getting kinda old.
