Hello all,
I had posted a thread, stating that my wife and I want to quit smoking.
A member here "Jerrydon" suggested a Tornado for a good unit to purchase.
I await shipping now.

How long do you guys get that are heavy users, in battery life??
I just want to make sure I get enough battery life to quit these Coffin Nails.......thanks for the help and support....llesur

Heavy usage on the Tornado, I get 6-7 hours. In fact, regardless of how much the battery manufacturers pump up the mAh ratings, I get really close to 100mAh/hour, so my regular 510's(150-180mAh) last 1.5+ hours, megas (280mAh)@3hours, tornado (651mAh)6-7 hours, Bartleby/Protege's 14500(900mAh) - 8-10 hours.

Kent C is the 14500 a true 900 mAH?

Jimi,

I don't get into the 'true' thing.... I just report what I get from them. I don't even know if 100mAh is supposed to be 1 hour - just assuming it is and that is how it has worked out for me. The only ones that is a bit different is that I can get more than 3 hours from the mega batt and the 16340. The KR8 I have is a 280 and I do good if I get more than 2 hours from it.

Another aspect of batteries that I think is even more important, to me anyway - for vapor, is whether they reach, and if so how long they hold, peak voltage at 3.7v and that is where the 14500 really shines, imo. I really don't notice the drop in the curve until about that last hour or hour and a half. I feel the drop after about 3+ hours on the Tornado, and much less on the regular and mega batts. The 10440 is the weakest of the bunch, imo, although it lasts 4-5 hours depending on the rating 320, 360?, 500mAh. Probably the biggest mismatch on mAh that I've seen is the Chameleon's 16340 which says 880mAh and I get 6 hours regularly from that.
