I have been with v4 l for over a month, I have 4 batteries, 2 pass throughs and just ordered another battery.. I tracked it this morning. Started with a full charged xl manual - in 2 hours it was on the charger. Am I vaping too much? If I didn't have the pass throughs, I would be in trouble. I contantly have my batteries lined p for the charger. Is this why some people have said they have 25 batteries?

Are you using the wall charger or usb? Are you vaping non stop 2 hours? I know I get around 6-8 hours between charges on my manual xl's, but in truth they only get 2 1/2 - 3 hours of real usage (as in run time). Also are you using cool carts or wows? Wows drain the battery faster due to lower resistence.
Being fairly new to this, you are vaping on this like a cig. Drag after drag after drag. You will blow through batteries fast at first. It takes a while to get into the routine to just take a hit now and then, rather than trying to hit it for seven min. solid like an analog.
Am using cool carts, and in the morning it is basically 2 hours almost non stop- obviously need more batteries- and vape less... Usage does calm down after that and then gets non stop at night again.
Maybe I need to up my morning nic strength, or use my pt in am.

My question is are you using all XL batteries? If not, the regulars only last me a couple of hours but I do get some very solid use out of my XL's for 4-6 hours at a time and I don't have a passthru. It's a hard one to judge, I would question the charger unless you are doing this consistenly - and if so you may just need more batteries
XL's should definately last more than 2 hrs! If I'm vaping very heavily, mine usually last 5hrs, otherwise 6-8. What nic strength r u using? What flavor? I use nothing less than 24mg. For strong flavor and great TH, I like Wow Peppermint juice.
Yikes! I use XL Manuals exclusively I probably go thru 2.5 fully charged XLs/day. I also don't drain the batts until they are dead. Once they stop hitting hard enough I call it done.
I think you need to up your nic. I vape 36mg all the time. I tried dropping to 24mg a couple of times with the result of going through much more juice. Instead of 2.5 - 3 carts/day I was going through 4 - 5 carts/day.
There is some technique to hitting the PV as well. You just can't puff on it the same way. Take 1 long hit instead 3 short ones. I find one good hit is much more fulfilling than several weak ones.

Wow..... And I thought my shorties didn't last long. Guess I should be grateful I'm only charging them about 4 times a day.
I have 1 xl manual, 1xl auto, 1 shorty auto and 1 bloog shorty. I use 18 and 11 smilin menthol and wow peppermint
Usually go through 2or3cartos a day. Will start tracking it more closely. I think it may be my xl manual that is the weak link, or the wall charger, because my bloog only lasts me a hour. Is it possible my batteries could be dirty an this is affecting there life? My manual xl is definitely the my go to battery and the one I have had the longest.

I have 4 XL manuals, and one of them constantly lasts 8 hours, one lasts 2-3 hours and the other 2 about 4-5 hrs. And I do vape a lot, much more than I smoked. 24mg too.
Takes me about 4-5 manuals to get through the day.They last 3-6hrs depending on how Im vaping.When I started I used a higher nic/mg in the morning to get over that coffee and cig thing.You should definetly get yourself 2 or 3 more XLs.Its best to be prepared and always have extras.
Folks always go thru batteries quicker when they first start vaping. I used to burn thru 3-4 XLs a day but now it is rare to make 2 start blinking (I carry around 3 with different flavor cartos so no one battery is being hit exclusively)
I have recently found that my USB chargers are no longer fully charging the batteries though so if you are having issues with your bat only lasting a couple hours try hooking it up to the plug in charger and see if that makes a difference.
I would really love to see a battery tester at some point so I can see for sure what level the charge is on a particular bat before I leave the house with it.

I'll say this, and not to be a party pooper, but there's something funky with these "new and improved" batteries. I'm in the process of getting "new" batteries replaced as we speak. The 2 "new" XL batteries would only last me about two hours where as I also purchased in December a no logo generic regular battery (not new and improved) and it would way out perform the new XL batteries. I got one of the replacement "new" batteries and it now goes 4 to 6 hours easy. But as it has been said, I wouldn't think about going far with less than 4 batteries (and a deep cycle lead acid battery and 2 passthrus...LOL)!
I think I'm a medium vaper, a few times an hour, more or less depending on the situation. Usually 2-3 times a day, I rotate pairs of XL mans and return the old pair to my chargers. In this way, I never let the batts get close to empty, which keeps the vape strong and tasty. Works for me.
Customer service is sending me a new xl battery, but will order another one as well. Major drag to run out of cig power on the road. I gave my pcc and a battery to a friend to get started, so don't have that option right now. Hate the thought of carrying 6 batteries with me every time I leave the house, but better safe than sorry. Really like the xl batteries though. And really like v4l, great customer service.
