How low of voltage do you let your battery go to before changing it? I noticed with the RM2 and a 2.5 coil that my battery doesn't drop as fast as when I was using cartos. With cartos I lost good vapor hits at about 3.8 or 3.9. But not with the RM2.

As long as your not going below 2.75 volts you should be all set . To be safe dont let them go below 3 volts . Most of us change them much sooner just because we like are vape warmer
I change my batteries at the same time everyday weather I need to or not .
You could also pick a juice amount if a picking a time doesn't work .

I usually run them until the vape becomes too cool for my tastes. Normally that is around 3.6-3.7. But I have always been one to never run my batteries below 3.5 anyways. On most days, if I remember, I will change batts right when I leave work. That way on my commute home, I have a nice strong throat hit.
Yeah half a bottle with a carto and more than half with the RM2. Of course no more cartos but i am keeping them cause i am old and like to be prepared. A carto would have to do if i can't get the coil in the holes for health reasons.
3.8-3.9 is the magic number for me, and that's where they are when I first notice the lack of warmth. That said, I've gone as low as 3.5 (thinking to myself, "dang. this battery isn't EVER gonna give up") Means (at about 1.8 ohms) I don't get a FULL day out of them, but what they heck? If I was still smoking tobacco cigs, I'd be opening up a fresh pack at around 6-8pm anyway, and it's way more fun to swap out the battery.
The battery information I have read for the AW IMR is to not discharge below 3.5. You will gain the longest life for your batteries if you recharge before 3.5v. They will also perform better if not discharged lower.
Me too! I really have to watch the VV's batteries though. I have gone lower on them and not realized till I pulled and metered.
I top off any battery that's been used overnight and rotate. Always start the day with charged ones. The deepest a 16-hour day on a Grand has taken me has been 3.6-3.7V... even with a 0.5Ω coil (I hit it less often-24 mg FWIW).
I've done this too, Nerak. So I try to be more vigilant with the VV. If I can't remember when I've swapped them, I know it's time.
Usually when I swap all mine, they meter about 3.7.
Hmm.. I just go by taste. Once the vape becomes a little 'thin' both strength and tastewise (don't know how else to describe it), I switch out the batteries. It's easier to do instinctively with the mechanicals. With the provari I just vape until it starts blinking at me.
With the mechanicals I've checked it a couple of times, and I usually end up around 3.6-7 volts when I recharge.

I don't notice the VV vape change until it is too low. The cutoff takes them way down first. I am trying to get into the habit of changing them at certain times. It is tough because I use lots of different REO's at home and have 2 Grands and a VV Grand running at work.
If I am busy and focused, I don't notice the tapering off. I've unintentionally taken a battery down to 2.6-2.7V before it got my attention (after changing juice and not being able to use that measure) . That's why I just start the day now with them all charged. An old man's gotta know his limitations and adapt.
