I've got 4 batteries. Should I use them all in rotation to even out the wear on them? What do you folks do?

thats what i do however i found today that there is really no telling when a battery will have its last charge so just keep few for back up
That's pretty much what I do too. Mainly because while one is charging I'll use another. Then that might need charging so out comes the 3rd. The 4th is a VK that isn't getting much use these days, but good as a spare.
I use two in rotation at home. I have two more I keep in my kit when I need to go someplace. I rotate those as well. This way I always have two ready to take with me when ever I go someplace.
I rotate three batteries, always charging the one that just died so all three are pretty much always charged or charging.
They have a limited number of charges in their lifetime, so I figure rotating them means they'll all die at about the same time (wait, that's probably a bad idea then)...

OMG you're right! I better get a couple in the pantry.
Seriously, as I typed that I though "oh great, now when one dies I'll know that the other two will probably die in short order and I won't have anything to vape other than 510 crap".
Time to order a couple more batteries...

Seriously, it is a good idea to keep a few back up's of everything. It is not like we can hop in the car and go the corner store or gas station and get a pack.
I learned that the hard way. My 4 batts in rotation are of different ages(the two I keep for home use are the newer 102 mm). The ones I just put into my case are the older ones I got the beginning of Jan. They are still going strong, but you never know.
I also have 5 or 6 riv4l batts that I keep for my daughter and son in law as back up's. We never know when one will die.

I rotate 3 short ones, and have to regulars on as backups...only 2 are mfs, and their the dodgy ones, so use the regs alot..
Thats a good idea. I will keep two batts charged in reserve unused. If all my batteries failed I'd fall off the wagon before new ones could arrive. Maybe I'll just get another one or two for reserve. I'd hate to go back now after I finally stopped analogs.
