Elite 808 Battery Life

[Decrepify]

So I've been vaping for a couple of months now, and I love it. Don't miss analogues for one second!
However, I've noticed my Kr808 battery life decay drastically. Out of the box it seemed to last 5 hours before needing to be charged, and currently that life expectancy has been cut in half.

Has anyone else experienced these kind of problems? I was just really shocked to find out that the charge dwindled down so swiftly.

Decrepify (sir or Ms.?) have you increased your vaping amount? There are two times that come into play with ecigs, use time and run time. Here's a favorite example-

A pv has a 2500mah batt, it's regulated to 5v, and all three people are using a 2.0ohm carto on it. Person A gets 8 hours, person B gets 4, person C gets 12 but uses a stopwatch to time when it's activated/deactivated and only gets 1 hour of actual run time on it. What do all 3 have in common? All 3 got 1 hour of actual use time (5v/2.0ohm=2.5a). The battery only last for 1 hour of use at 2.5a, just as it's mah states. How long that hour of use lasts you is based off your personal vaping habits.

When I was using my 250mah KR808, I was getting about 1.5-2 hours of vaping. With the Elite 808 (380 mah), I was getting around 4 hours of vaping time.

Thank you for that breakdown!
However my vaping habits haven't increased drastically, although I do suspect some residual juice seeped through the top (screw-on area).

I don't think any seepage would cut down on battery life, but could fry the battery if you're using an automatic.

That being said, on and off vaping usually lasts my KR808 about 2-3 hours. Are you using cartos with a lower resistance than you began with? Some battery decay is typical, but usually not cut to half within a couple months.

no the juice wont affect them they are manul batteries, I get juice on mine quite often just clean them off and good to go.

My batteries have not been lasting very long either....and I find that I am having to purchase new batteries more often. I have even begun to wonder if I am saving any money...but I guess it's better than analogs. It might be time to find a new vendor.

My Elite(s) generally last around 4 hours. After months of constant use ... 3.

I have two Elites.. one lasts a good 5-6 hours, the other only lasts about 3. I still use them occasionally, but my KGO lasts more than a day.

I'm positive I don't vape as heavy as most, I also didn't smoke as much as most here have said they had, although I vape more then I smoked haha... but point being I've had the Elite for IDK, maybe a month now? and the battery life has been great thus far.

Even nights when I'm borderline chain vaping I'm getting up to 7 hours out of these things and at least 5.

If I'm casually vaping over the course of the day I often only have charge them every other day, although on the 2nd day they're on 1 bar and then dead rather early, so I guess more like one full day.

With the exception of the actual Clear and Easy Tanks, this kit is awesome and the batteries great, very satisfied.
