Seconding Topwater Elvis -- the Li-ion batteries we use today do not have the "memory" issues of the Ni-Cd and other types of rechargable batteries from days gone by. In fact, they should not be discharged all the way; discharging a Li-ion battery too far can permanently damage the battery. This is mostly just a problem with mechanical mods, since regulated devices (including eGo-style devices like your CF Sub-Ohm) will usually shut themselves down automatically when they detect the battery voltage has dropped below ~3.5 volts.

As soon as you start to notice any slight drop in performance, or even just whenever you think about it, go ahead and toss it back onto the charger. You won't harm the battery at all, in fact you'll actually be helping to keep it healthy. A charged battery is a happy battery*.

*(If you're not going to be using it for some time, it's recommended to store the battery at about 40-50% charge rather than a full 100%.)

EDIT:
When I get a new product, I use it until it dies completely. And then charge it for a good sesh the first time. I basically treat it like you are supposed to treat a phone or computer when you first get it.

Far as I know, the only thing this does is calibrate the battery meter so it can show a more accurate representation of your remaining battery life. It doesn't do anything for the battery itself, just its own ability to accurately read from it.

Is it ok to charge the aspire cf sub ohm battery before it dies? I asked the vape shop I got it at and they said it was fine, I just want another view on it. I have been charging it before it dies and it seems it doesn't last very long. I should have realized batteries have a memory life.

These batteries have no memory. Charge as often as you wish. They will actually last longer doing this than if you always run them all the way down.

I am seeing the same thing with the charge time., though duel coiling now seems to make a big difference, that and enjoying the vape more.
