My one battery just started blinking that it needs a recharge. Multimeter voltage reading is 3.7v. A fully charged battery is 4.2v. I thought that they needed a recharge at 3.3v. Am I mistaken?

Thanks for the info. It's not the first time I've been mistaken, just ask my wife, lol.

You are indeed mistaken
Anything under 3.5 would be considered undercharged.
Remember that these batteries hold a voltage better and longer than other types (carbon, Ni-Mh, lead, etc).
thanks for this great infos dude..
My Vamo and Zmaxes all shut down at about 3.4 volts, not really sure what type of Ego you are using, whether it is regulated or unregulated.
Regulated should put out the same voltage until the end, then it will let you know it needs recharged.
If your Ego is regulated at 3.7 volts, it should put out 3.7 volts no matter what the battery charge is, meaning your actually battery charge could down to 3.4 to 3.2 volts and the Ego will still try to boost it to 3.7.
Unregulated will put out whatever the battery voltage is. Mechanicals do this, the joyetech Ego C upgrade can be run in either unregulated or regulated mode.
"The eGo-C upgrade battery: is the newest improvement of Joytetech. Based on the present eGo-C battery, this upgrade battery has the new function mode --- battery voltage output mode (variable voltage output mode). In this mode, the voltage will change as the battery power changes instead of constant 3.3v output. With high voltage, this will give you a better vapor feeling.
You can also change the mode easily for your choices following the steps shown below:"

Thanks for the info. I would hazard to guess that it is unregulated since I get 4.2v with a fresh battery and it blinks to be recharged at 3.7v.

Sounds like it, hope you are enjoying your vape and finding the Forum useful.
Unregulated is fine (that's what I use). It might give a different experience as the voltage drops, but I don't mind. By the time the vapor gets cold, my battery starts blinking.
I'd only consider a VV if I vaped lots of different juices. Regulated batts would force me to try different coils instead. Both of those draw more power, so the charge doesn't last quite as long.
It's a choice. I'd rather save my money. I still have to buy replacement coils, and pickup other accessories.
