I rarely leave the house, and I am severely allergic to manual labor/yard work.
I use it at my desk... I work 14 hour days, so I just switch to a different mod while it charges, and it charges pretty quickly, but still I end up charging it at least 3-4 times during that period of time.
I was mainly asking how long people hang on before tossing them to gauge how crazy I am... I think I will continue to use the crap batteries at my desk and once I get to 2 hrs I will toss them.

That place has some crazy low prices (95¢ RBAs). Not a huge selection, but definitely worth a look to see if they have something you want.
it seems to me that mooch said that it's not a great idea to use batteries that are past normal end of life.
i can't give you a site tho.
i just don't remember.
losing 20% is considered end of life

Although all my mods are mech squonkers with replaceable batteries, I think the issue of decreasing capacity with age (vs. cycles) is not as significant as many people believe. I tested some very lightly 5 year old VTC5s last year with a West Mountain Radio CBA and they were still right around 90%, and I'm still using them (lightly).
Back when Li-ion batteries were kinda new on the scene, call it 15 years ago, they had the reputation of losing 10% or more of capacity per year. I'm not sure whether it was true or not then, but it clearly isn't now, with current chemistry batteries.
Note also that all the EV and PHEV car makers are giving at least 8 year warranties on their batteries.

Yeah, but cell-phone batteries are generally run a lot harder. Get an app that can show you your battery voltage and note that most phones charge their batteries to 4.35V or even higher. That's not treating a battery with kindness. One might even speculate that they don't want those batteries to last more than a couple of years...
I wouldn't try to run an aged (noticeably reduced run time) battery at near rated amps output, but if you run 10A on a 20A rated battery I doubt there's any issue other than annoyance at decreased run time.
If I think a battery is starting to age, I'll typically mark it with an L (low). If after several cycles I still see it as giving noticeably less run time I put it in a craft Ziploc, for recycling at Lowes.
Batteries are cheap, worth disposing when they've aged out.

That's why I don't worry much about older batteries. I don't even reach 3 amps being a tootle puffer.
Well that sucks. I guess they got sick of giving us vapocalypse preppers $35 liters of nic base
That's a great way to get the last few drops out of them. I think I will do that!
What's the continuous amp draw of an average 18650 flashlight?
(I don't own one, sorry if that's a silly question).
I have no idea but I use the cheap 18650 flashlights and old 10a batteries give me hours of runtime.

I have 10 or so mods sitting on my desk, I use some of them a lot more than others because I like the juice in that tank. If I go out I take Solos. But batteries go in whichever mod needs a new one when they get to the front of the rack. It's really hard to know how long each battery lasts.
Generally I just replace flat tops after 2 years. Probably means I junk some batteries that still have life in them, but it keeps it simple and they don't cost much anyway.
Button tops go in Provaris and they have an easy life. They get cycled less often and used at lower power. I've got some that are 4 years old and they seem fine.
Wish I had a charger which measured something that would tell me when they were ready to retire. What do I need for that?
Re: Heartland Vapes - We still get the $10 off per Liter or gallon price...because that IS considered their wholesale quantity sizes. It doesn't mean we have to be a vendor to get that price.
If you'll go to the Liters of nic base on their website, you'll see that the URL says wholesale in it...because that's the section of their website.

Yeah, that
I tootle, so amps aren't a critical as they are for those vaping at higher power. For me, when a cell no longer lasts for a tank (for me, generally a KF2L or a Skyline, both about 4 ml) it's time for recycling. Or flashlight
I went and took a look at the link someone posted to ec blends. I saw this while I was browsing and laughed like crazy.

My Health Cabin order of 1/30 shipped 2/6 and was delivered today. Several people have placed and received 3FVAPE orders recently. I ordered last week and it’s shipped. We’ll see
