Ego Batteries, 900 mah 1300 mah. Worth it? last long?

[Cloudy Dave]

I have seen bigger batteries for the ego on various sites. I am just wondering if any of these are authentic and are up to the quality of my regular ego battery.

What is the typical life span of the regular ego battery? Like total drains and recharges.

I have also seen these new attys by joye that have a 6 month warranty! That sounds too good to be true. They must be confident to sell an atty with a 6 month warranty.

Well guys it would be nice to tell me what you think about this anyone with any experience with the things i mentioned please share your experiences.

You can expect 1-1.5 hrs of vaping per 100mAh.

Wrt longevity (life span) YMMV and will significantly decrease if you use LR attys with them.

I am still using my original attys that came with the eGo, performance has decreased slightly but are still performing well into 6 months +

6 months is really good might only buy 2 more batteries for back ups. How about your attys how long have they been lasting you? If more than three months how have you been taking care of them?

off topic, Should i be using more than just one battery at a time? Like a rotation of 2? 3? more? I guess I would like to know the same for Atties.

Wrt attys previously answered. No I do not do maintenance on them. I use good liquid. Batteries I had 4 one that went toast after 5 months. I use 2 eGos a day alternately different juices.

I have 6 batteries for my eGo - 4 standard, 1 usb pass-through and 1 900 mah and I try to rotate them, although I have 2 or 3 going at the same time with different strength nic in them. The reason I try to rotate them is that I had 5 batts for my sticks, but only used the ones that were in them, so had 2 that I didn't use for a year as I kept them new. I recently took those out and replaced the old ones as they were not holding their charge so well anymore, and found that the previously unused ones were no better than the used ones... so I figure whether you use them or not they age pretty much the same. I may be wrong though.
[Note: the only reason I purchased 6 batts is because is so I don't have a problem camping where there is no power point. I would otherwise only have 3 batts at a time and rather replace when necessary.]

To my knowledge, Joye Tech. makes only 2: reg. at 650 mah & mega at 900 mah. If you see a 1300 mah it may be a clone. I use only sites that use genuine Joye products.

JoyE also makes the 1000mah battery which few suppliers do offer here on ECF..
Such as Cignot.

I am a pretty heavy vaper and find the 900mah to be an ample enough power supply. I rotate 3 650's and 2 900's. I like the 900 when I am dripping in the lazy boy and the 650's when I am out and about. IMO anything larger and heavier than the 900 would be overkill for me in terms of weight and length.

I use a 650 mah and a 900 mah daily. I rotate between the two. One is always on the charger.

Thanks for all the replies, Switched I read your reply wrong first time thanks for the answer to my questions as well as everyone else. The way some people treat their stuff must be horrible, blowing through attys in a week and batteries in 3 months. Yeah i tracked down the information and the 650 mah batts are suppose to last for 300 charges/discharges being that they last really long I could see these batteries lasting for the better part of the year.

Attys seem to be all about how you vape and how well you take care of it because I hear some big differences from people here. I was led to believe these things were like one a week disposables, now i know better lol thanks all.

... attys and cartos need to be treated as "semi" disposable items, but you do get what you pay for. Using them at the proper voltage with good liquid will extend their lives proportionately.

A myth that needs addressing IMHO is that although dry burning will get rid of the gunk build up on the atty, it also reduces its overall longevity. Many will disagree with this...
