Your mom said not to say...
That's the curse of the 510 the battery life sucks big time especially for a heavy vaper. Get a battery mod or built one, look up the box mods in the modders forum here, it's easy and/or cheap to build or buy one that will give you all day vaping and no more battery worries. Lots of people opt for the PCC I prefer my Dragon for the battery life and taste, I only use the 510 with the 6v mod pretty much anymore.

I use a 510 and vape fairly heavily. The regular batt for me last 1.5 - 2 hours. The mega 510 batts (got mine from Totally Wicked) last much longer. I got about 5 hours out of mine last night.

Get a passthrough for use through a USB, no batt, while you are on a computer. Also get a PCC charging case. It will recharge a regular 510 batt in less time that it will take to use one up, and it will charge up to 4 batts before it itself needs to be recharged (its a case with a its own battery that charges 510 batts). PTs and PCCs both cost about $20, depending on where you get them, and are sometimes much lower.

happy vaping!

I guess the good news is that it takes about 2 hours to charge one too. So if you're carrying PCC, just about the time the first one dies, the second one is ready to go. After that it's just rotation.

Of course, you can get higher capacity (longer) batteries for your 510.. but they won't fit in the (stock) PCC and they take longer to charge.

I heard you can charge the 510 mega batts in a PCC, but you have to hold them down somehow, like with a rubber band around the whole thing and over the top of the batt. Haven't tried it yet, because I have yet to have a mega die on me while out! :D

They do take longer to charge than the regular batts, though.

i have a blu (its a 510) and the batts only last about 45 mins of continuous vaping - i have 4 extra batts charged but the PCC handles things nicely while im out

at home when i chain vape - the batts can't keep up with me - i invested in a USB passthrough so now my bats are always charged and i casn vape 24/7

got one for 11.00 at heaven's gifts

As I think about it, I have a batt-vape and a PT-vape. When I use a batt, I am aware of possible batt death, and so I vape more conservatively. With a PT, I just vape.
