Perhaps roughing up the surface of the battery would help? A piece of 400 grit automotive paper would probably do the trick.
Another idea: put a piece of clear packing tape over the sharpie.

I got about 56 hours on my first 18650 in a Vamo and that's what I'm primarily using, second one seems to be going the same. A benefit of liking low watts.
I was also charging 1-2 eGo batteries a day. That has dropped drastically.
I think with all my eGo batteries and 2 18650s I'd be good for a nearby tornado. Once I get more 18650s stocked I'd be good for a direct hit (hmm, maybe I should keep my vaping stuff in an emergency duffle).

5 pairs of 14500's (so 10 total cells). Couple "backup" eGo units from days of old. Couple of 510's from real-old days.
Need to toss some of the older 14500's. But....been vaping 3 years no problems. Have generator. Have car 12v to USB.
Meh.

I wonder if richard from rtd will get more of those voltage meters in so it'll give me an excuse to buy some bats since price is comparable to provape.

With my 4 year anniversary coming up on july 10th and one year of Modumust fever: 226500 IMRs,5 18650 li-ons, 6 18650 IMRs,2 18650 5 volts, 1 17670 li-on, 2 ea. 18350 IMR & li-ons, 2 ea.16340 IMR & li-ons, 4 RCR123a 3 volts, 2 14500 IMRs, 4 14500 li-ons, 2 15270s and 2 14250s. My 510s are all dead, all 9 of them. 
I harvest the 18650's from laptop battery packs and probably have about a hundred or so. Free is the best!!! My Vamo is very well fed!
Wonders when Utah was last hit by a hurricane
But I got:
8 18650's
6 18500's
6 18350's
12 14500's
4 14650's
4 10440's

Damn, I hope the tidal surge doesn't sweep them all out to sea
I think Yellowstone erupting is a bigger worry for you.
solar charger, worked for me egos, cell phone and camera when fishing (not all at once).
Amazon.com: Instapark 10 Watt Solar Panel Portable Solar Charger with Dual USB Ports for iPhone, iPad & all other USB Compatible Devices: MP3 Players & Accessories

to the op i understand the whole mini idea,but you have to trade size for longevity no way around it.
but to others it all depends on the batteries you buy as well. the ones im using currently last over 2 days
2900mah is pretty sweet. 12 hours later and my ProV still reads 3,8v. going to test some 3400's soon, im sure they will make it in the vamo but not so sure about my provari yet. just imagine 4 of those in that fast tech battery pack almost 14000 mah

I must be crazy,,,,,it doesn't bother me in the least to charge batteries,,,,although, I will say, having a car charger really made it so much easier for me,,,,,
car charger,,,,,,,it won't matter if you have power in the house or not,,you can charge it in the car.
until the gas runs low and you cant get more because the gas pumps require power to pump gas and you dont want to push the battery by itself too long. lol
(already been there in a hurricane with an inverter, thought i was slick till the tank ran dry)
on top of the solar charger i see now they make small wind turbines. free power all day

If this is mentioned in another thread, please tell me where?
I'm just starting to get into mechanical mods and my question is about battery safety. Since regulated mods will shut off before the battery drops below a safe point, how do I know on a mechanical? If it's the battery protection that does this, how do I know what type to get?
Thanks!

On mine I notice a pretty big drop in the vapor and taste when it drops down below 3.7 or so.
