Well I'm not unhappy with mine but I like getting the best ones I can. If his last longer than mine di I would want them. On my next battery swap I'm going to keep a close track of my actual vaping time.

I don't think I am organized enough to keep track of actual vaping time, best I can do is report 3ml on 2 days and 4ml on one.

I guess I'm going to have to try these new batts. The best time I've been able to get out of these UFs on my Pro is 10 hours. It's usually 8 or 9. These reports of 50 and 70 hours seem unreal to me.

Same here. I should have a pair of the new ones today. ;)

Well I'm used to it after doing so much testing on different products I can get it down to within 5 minutes. I'm using around 5 to 6 ml. a day. With the tanks that parts easy to track especially becuase of using a syringe to fill my tank with. BTW it's fill time right now. It took less than 2 min. to fill. That's not bad.

The M1A1's will take mere seconds as well. I did a test run with just water and it was super easy/fast to fill up.

You have to take into account that Moo said she's vaping 3 to 4ml a day. That's a fairly light vaper. I get great times on my grey UFs too since I am vaping about 3ml a day too. I'm sad to report that since moving in with the MIL I'm smoking more that I have in the last year. I gotta work on that :(

Yup, exactly what Bov said. I took that time based on when I put them in which was before mid night on Monday. But I went to bed a few hours after that and slept in pretty late on Tuesady, so if we were counting hours we can say they really didn't start getting used until Tuesday at about noon. So if we measure it with ml I did 3 Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and about 1 today. So they these batteries have done 10ml and ARE STILL GOING. I thought I only had one bad set of the others, but now I think they all must of been bad as Mike said the new are ones are getting double the time and I am now at triple based on ml vaped.

And here is the announcement you have all been waiting for. MY BATTERIES HAVE DIED! So we will call it a little over 10ml or almost 4 days.

But something starnged happened. The voltage did not seem regulated at the very end. The blue light was going on kind of. There seemed to be a red and blue light at the same time when the button was pushed, and vapor was being produced, but the TH was next to nothing. I took several vapes with the same result. I thought there might be something wrong with the carto as with the other batteries when they died nothing happened and even if the red light was on, with the other bats when I vaped there would be no light. So I changed to my other tank and got the same result. I tried turning the voltage all the way, this just produced less vapor. At this point it occured to me that the batteries can't last forever so I changed them and everything went back to working fine!

Ypu will get about 5 hits that are weak as the batts finally DIE , this used to happen on the Old Buzz as well , these are also not protected on the other batts the protection would kick in.

The UF's are just not as good as a battery Moo , that is why I am stocking the new ones so IF people want to pay more for better they can .

You know me, my first thought is always that something is broken. Once I realized it wasn't my carto and changed the battery it was all good. It just caught me off guard that it acted so differently when the batteries finally dies. These batteries rock, can't wait to get the other ones I ordered.

Understood , we did NOT know how good or bad the UF's were until we got the battery analyzer as I said they came in middle of the road

There are a ton of bad batteries coming out of china these days. I got a bad 18650 the other day. The multimeter said 4v, but under load the same meter's load tester they put out nothing at all.

There are also a lot of reports of people buying batteries on ebay that look like 'rewrapped' batteries. Many of them say charged on chargers and multimeters, but produce no voltage under load.

The re-wraps have been coming from reputable vape suppliers as well (not to their knowledge though). It seems china is wrapping their cheap knock offs with flame jacket Trustfires to make an extra buck.
