I don't know about in comparison to other mods, but I go through 2-3 AW IMR 14500's per day using 3ml of juice and a 1.5 ohm atty. If they are new, it takes about 5-6 recharge cycles for them to get up to full strength. Also, LR attys run them down faster.
I usually use 2 batteries per day in my mini, I usually go thru about 1 bottle of juice, and I use LR 510 cartos. The battery in the Grand will last me at least 2 days.
That's probably about right - the IMR's are only 600mAh, and you typically get somewhere in the neighborhood of 1 hour per 100mAh or so. I've been going through batteries at a pretty good clip - a number of mine are getting old. Gonna have to order up some new ones soon.
Thats sounds about right .... never used those batts in any other mod though.
But I can tell you that I vape a REO 3X more than I would another mod so it stands to reason
(just imagine how many times you would have to drip to = a mini bottle)
But ya they go pretty quick. My mini only goes out with me if I am running to the store or PO ... quick trips.
If I think I am going to be out than a couple of hours I take the Grand !!
I'm not sure what you are comparing to. The mini takes 14500s which in an IMR is only 600mah. A 14500 protected batt is around 700 and up. Not many supplier mods take that batt.
Most mods sold around here typically use a 6ml bottle like the Reo Grand which is usually designed around a 18650 batt. Looking around quicky those seem to be 800mhr and up to 2600mhr. Also you said you are using the red protected ones. Well, red batteries are AWs (that I know of) and those are IMR Li-MN chemistery non-protected batts and 600mah. 14500 protected batts are of a higher mah rating, about 750 and up but don't supply the amps or power of an IMR.
I too change out batts about every 3-4 hours. I have chargers at home, car and work. I'm pretty much constanly charging one. But the higher temp vape (5V) on a Cisco 1.5 atty and and an AW IMR 14500 in my minis is worth it to me. I looked at going to cartos but can't find one that doesnt' have batting that doesn't at 1.5 so right now I'm standing pat with attys.

Yes...the batteries are the biggest limiting factor with the Minis. I'm impatiently waiting for battery technology to catch up so that we can get the same use out of a 14500 as we do an 18650. May not happen in my lifetime...but it doesn't hurt to hope
