If you're implying that I'm lying I can assure you I am not. I smoked about a pack a day of full flavor menthols and one eGo battery is lasting me an entire day of vaping and I am vaping much more than I ever smoked. I don't know anything about batteries, so perhaps the performance will degrade as I continue to use it.. can't say for sure. But I do know that I'm not making this up. Believe it or not.

Is this in response to my Post?....Cause if it is, i can assure i don't think you're a liar at all..... But i will answer Just in case your post was directed at me.... To you a full days of use might not be the same as to others....

I come in from work and take a fresh one off the charger and use it that evening and the whole next day. From 6:00am till 6:00pm and repeat the process.

Since using the LR atty's that's changed to about 6 hours for me and a need to bring a spare along.

So if your using regular atty's it will in fact last 10 hours.

And im an ex 2.5 pack a day smoker and an ex smokeless tobacco chewer. And I vape my ... off at my desk..

All i can say is.....................Glad to hear your eGo batts last 10 hours....

Welcome, I vape a lot and yes the Ego battery is great...But, for me,,,no way does it last longer then 4-6 hours depending on what I am doing....I use one in the morning, one in the afternoon, and of course, one at night...Not bad, and I get the same "hit" and vapor through-out the day and evening...That is why I bought a few extra batteries...for those days when I am vaping crazy....But, that is me....Again, Enjoy..

Okay, folks let us not get carried away here. I was just kidding about the 10 hours and 2 or 3 drops a day thing.

The eGo batt is superior to the standard 510 batt, which is 180 mah. In comparison the eGo batt is 650 mah.

A few of us on this forum believe, myself included, the best way to determine how long any batt will last is based on the mah of the battery.

Accordingly, 100 mah is 1 hour of use. So, using this as a guide the 510 batt should be good for 1 hour of vaping, the eGo batt should be good for roughly 6 hours of vaping. So it is very possible, depending on the vaping style, to get 10 hours from one eGo batt.

Yes it was. I wasn't sure if you were directing your post towards me but that's the way I read it. Sorry if I misunderstood what you were trying to say.

I've been using an LR atty on my eGo all day today and as AiricR pointed out they will drain the battery faster than your standard atty. I got about 8 to 10 hours out of mine and it just now went dead. However, I was also alternating it a bit with my other eGo with a normal atty to get a different hit/flavor. AiricR said he gets about 6 hours with an LR atty out of his eGo and I would guess that's about right.

This is one of those times where i have to disagree with you Alex....I have been on these forums Long enough to know a few things.....And those people that Claim that the 1 eGo Batt lasts them a day....Then they were never Analog smokers to begin with.....As a smoker of 23 years, to me the eGo batt doesn't last much longer then the regular 510.... Although it last's longer then a 510, but not by Much .....So when someone Claims that there eGo batt lasts them for 5-8 hours....I pay no mind....Unless the poster stated that he was a light analog user....And in my eyes a light analog user is someone who smokes 1-5 analogs a day...Then i can see these batts lasting that long....But i was a 2-3 pack a day smoker So there is no way that these batts will last that long.....LOL it's pretty much the same concept as the suppliers telling newbs that a regular Cart will last you as much as a pack of Cigs....But we know better on that one, don't we?:)

I'd have to disagree with you on that one RR. I was a minimum 2 pack a day(Marlb reds mainly) smoker for 20 years. When I tested the eGo for 2 weeks I was getting 9 - 11 hours per battery. Just for comparison.....With the generic 14500 batteries that came with my 905 I was getting 5 - 6 hours. With the 14500 Trustfire and AW batteries that came with my Provape I am getting 7-8 hours.

You all know and realize that everyone vapes differently and different juice...It can be the PG verses the VG that matters,,,or the type of atty one's buy....or even if it is a manual verses an auto....Not to mention, that for me,,,When I am out on the town,,,and take those longer hits,,,my battery is not going to last as long...It is all subjective, regardless of the mah in the battery....But, having said that....Yes, the higher the mah per batter, the longer it will last - overall....compared to vaping the same way with a less mah battery....Different strokes for difff.......folks...No matter what...Enjoy...

Sorry, but I have to disagree with you here. I was a 2-3 pack smoker myself, and not lights, either. When I chain-vape, a stock 510 lasts me between 45 minutes and an hour. My eGo lasts me between 6-8 hours. And as there are quite a few people telling the story with numbers similar to mine, maybe it is you who is the exception, not the rest of the world. And to claim that everybody who does not share your experience is a liar is not exactly good style, either.

Thyestean I'm not saying the Ego batts don't last 10 20 or even 30 hours....If the Batts last that Long, then God Bless.....All I'm saying the batts didn't last that long when i use it.....The same thing that happened with my LR atty people swear by it....It popped on me, in less than 24 hours or something like that...The point being is... Whats good for me might not be good for you.....If strawberry Juice from a certain vendor tastes good to you,doesn't mean it will taste as good to me or even taste like strawberry for that matter... Because i have an eGo and although it's not mine, I use it once in a while to change things up a bit....And in no time did i ever get 10 hours of vaping or anything close to that 10 hour mark....So i call it how i see it from my personnel experience... As a matter of fact the only time i Ever had a Batt last me 10 hours or more, is when i was vaping 3.7 Volts in my PV's and using my 18650 batts....But since i don't do 3.7 Volts anymore i don't get to use the Longer batt life.... Some swear by certain Mods....I personally Cant stand those Mods....Even though i own those same exact Mods....Vaping style of each individual difers from the next is my whole point here Thyestean...
If your eGo or someones elses eGo last's 10 hours on one Batt then like i said before, God Bless....Unfortunately My brothers Ego doesn't last me 10 hours when i vape it.:)

Hold on here Alex!!!!....At no time shape or form did i ever call anyone a liar nor did i accuse anyone of lying...

And as far as me being the Exception to the rest of the world... That might be so.. But your accusation of me calling someone a liar is defiantly uncalled for and is most certainly unfounded.....
