I was wondering, do batteries drop how much charge they can hold for no reason?
I've got 2 identical mini e-cigs which I have been using for about 4 days now and it seems I am needing to charge them more and more even though they are doing a full charge cycle which also seems to be getting shorter.

I know better e-cigs are available but I'm sticking with these ones for now as I'm not willing just to toss these away since they are not broken.

Thanks for the advice!

Chiller.

Yes especially on items that are not made tube-style meaning you can just replace the battery once it reaches its lifespan. Also, anything with a power source can be ruined more quickly if it's dropped on the ground frequently? Did that happen? Other than that, you will be happier once you upgrade. :)

Sitting down, facing forward.
I've had the same problem with a ProSmoke, the longer I use it the shorter the battery life gets although, subjecytively, the charge time seems just as long (too darn long!). I have four batteries for it and there are times when I have no "spare", three dead or charging and the one I'm using, and I have twochargers for it as well. I have added a Volt with 78mm batteries, four again, and haven't had a problem with run times dropping off, at least so far.

It is a result of the chemical reaction that occurs during recharge. I suspect that the smaller the battery the more pronounced the effect will be simply because the volume of the battery is so small and it runs out of reactable chemical much faster. When you switch to a larger system you shouldn't see such a sharp degradation in useable time per charge.
