Battery Life on pen style PVs

[Charlie C]

Although I am an ego user I am researching the "current" line up of pen style sized batteries.
The original Joye 510 was about 280 mAh and offered up a life of approx 2.5 hours.

Are there improvements in this regard. Any batteries offering a lot more given similar size?
Thanks in advance.

Ego's are the next step & even they come in a variety of mAh ratings, all well over the chintzy battery life from the traditional cig-like batts. They even have a variable volt option with the eGo twist. Check em out.

Actually the original Joye 510 was about 180 mAh then shortly after I started vaping the Joye 510 "Mega" battery with about 280 mAh came out and it was a bit longer to hold the battery mass.

Batteries are still using Li-Ion tech, so the power to size ratio is still pretty much the same. I haven't seen any battery technologies with a higher power density coming close to consumer electronics markets yet, so I'd imagine that the power density of yesteryear and today will still be in play for the next two years, at least.

Strictly speaking, penstyles are dead and gone. Only models that are exactly like pens, such as the DSE801, are penstyles. They are slimmer than the eGo type. There are very few vendors of these old models now, one is called the V8. Like the superminis (which were even smaller versions of minis like the 510), things have changed. Micro batteries like this are called 'shorties' now, and models that exclusively use those shorty batteries (and generally with weird threads too) are virtually RIP.

What we have now are:
- Minis (510, KR808 etc) - also called cig-alikes or looky-likies. You can get shorty batts or XL batts.
- Mid-size (eGo, kGo etc) - also called fat-batts. 650mAh to 1300mAh batts.
- APVs: mechanical, basic electrical or electronic; boxmods and tubemods - also called mods. Most have user-replaceable generic batteries.
