Hello,

I recently bought a Vamo V3. It came with 2 batteries-18350's @ 900mAh. So far I have had no problem with them going dead so I've put my money into tanks and juice.

My question is, how long should I expect these batteries to last? I use them one at a time, each lasting about a day. I vape at about 4watts, 4volts and 1.3 to 2.4 ohms.

Do I need to prepare for these batteries to one day simply quit working?

Hello,
Yes, unfortunely nothing last forever. But you should get a few good months from them. When you start noticing that they are not lasting as long between charging cycles, then I would purchase more and would continue to use them until it becomes too much of a hassle to charge them so frequently.

average life is 300 cycles, and they will slowly start lasting less and less time as they begin to die. buy the best you can and consider getting more, the more you have in rotation the longer they will all last.

some brands are better then others for life span but they shouldnt just up and die one day.

:thumb: Agree.

Purchase high quality, name-brand IMR or hybrid batteries by AW, Orbtronics, Panasonic, Samsung, Sanyo, and Sony. Do not use Trustfire, Surefire, Ultrafire, or generic batteries.

The more batteries that you keep in a rotation the longer they will last. Use a high quality charger like Pila, Nitecore, or Xtar which will also prolong their life.
