LG HG2 into a DNA75. I can't say how long it will last, yet, but the curves from eScribe look fairly reasonable for a single 18650.

What I was thinking of trying is taking the average wattage used during a hit with the setting I use, use that watt setting, hook up my resistor pack w/heat sink and run the battery analyzer on my different 18650's and see what kind of watt hours it says. Seem's like that should come close or at least give a general idea what I should get, doesn't it? If nothing else I could use it for comparison of one battery to another, unless my thinks is all wrong.

If you hook up a load, it doesnt matter if it matches your coil resistance or not.

Watts out is watts out regardless of load.

Sitting down, facing forward.

When I test batteries I try to apply a load that is close to what I plan on vaping at. There is a "recovery", of sorts, between applications of the load and the "depth" of the load can effect that "recovery". True, that watts out is watts out, but that normally applies to a constant voltage/current source, not a battery that "tails off". It may not be all that significant, just the OCD in me and what I've seen from controlled, real scientific, battery testing.

Sometimes you just have to ask yourself if you have more stock than your local B&M. :?:
I don't have a lot of variety in atomizers but I make up for that in quantity :p.

11 KF4 (8 Tobecos, 3 still NIB, 3 FT and FC clones retired)
5 KM3 clones
12 KF5 (11 in hand, SXK en route)
1 Aromamizer
1 Lemo 2
3 RDAs

I haven't been to my local B&M's in almost a year because they never stock anything I want :lol:.

Curious to know how these compare to the other KF5 you got... I forgot who made that one. I know my Tobecco KF4 were excellent, though I personally didn't care for the draw.
Posted my thoughts on the clone thread.

Attack of the (Kayfun V5) Clones!

*edit*
The other clone was from Angelcigs (no-name). The Tobeco is better but the AC version is still very good. The KF4 was too complex so if any part wasn't right, it wasn't right at all. The 3 other KF4 clones from FT and FC weren't very good and had more issues that made them difficult to work right. I have a bunch of Tobeco KF4's so retiring them was an easy decision. The AC version of the KF5 works very well.

So he sent the letter to the FDA mid May and they were asked to respond before the end of May, they haven't. I hope he gets somewhere before the regs go into effect but this administration does what it damn well pleases and the hell with you and I.
