The output of a battery is different than the volts or watts applied to it. A battery should come off the charger at 4.2. Over time, it diminishes. You should not discharge a battery below 3.2.

On a vv/vw device the power supplied by the mod is what you are vaping at (4.1 in your example). The point of a vv/vw device is to deliver a consistent output regardless of the amount of power your battery has. The higher the power applied, the quicker the battery power will diminish.

Thank you!

So with a K1000 their batteries are naturally 4.2? How long till it drops? I don't wanna keep charging them

If you don't want to keep charging batteries to vape from then you'll need some type of system that plugs into a wall outlet or a car 12 volt socket.

No matter what system, type, make or model personal vaporizer you buy you will always need to charge the batteries for it.

If you always want to vape at 4.1 volts then you'll need a variable voltage device. Not a Mechanical Mod.

Generally, batteries will stay somewhere around 3.7 volts for quite some time. You might want to calculate using an oHms law calculator to find out what oHms coil you would need to get a vape with similar warmth to what you prefer at 4.1 volts.

Example if you are currently using a 2.0 oHm coil
2.0 oHm at 4.1 volts = 8.405 watts
1.6 oHm at 3.7 volts = 8.6 watts
The 1.6 oHm coil is a little warmer but pretty close.

Edit: I don't know anything about any of the suggestions but you might find what you are looking for in this thread, Need a VV E-Pipe!.

Quick question.
What happens if you discharge a battery below the 3.2 threshold?
Less production of vapor and flavor but what about safety?

Thanks for any info.

Some batteries are damaged permanently when they are over discharged. This usually means they cannot be charged again. Some chargers can repair an over-discharged battery, but even then they will only last minutes compared to hours that a healthy battery will last.

Other times when a battery is discharged too low, the material inside can even suffer a polarity reversion which causes an internal short which in turn leads to the battery getting hot, leaking, venting or starting on fire.
