im getting 3-4 hrs per 2x18650 samsung inr on average
1. batteries fully charged to 4.20
2. I put them on charger around 3.65-3.71v
3. I blow through on average 10Mls at 40-50w before they need to go back on charger

What kind of Ohms is your Average Build?

That's a quite high wattage, and therefore high drain on the batteries. In my average use, vaping at around 30w with temperature control (so the actual wattage varies), I calculate that I get around 3 hours from one 2500 mAh battery. That's with the batteries draining to around 3.4-3.5v, and heavy chain vaping (so a worst case scenario). Not sure how much eliquid I get on one battery, but around 10 ml might be close to accurate.

    Yeah with a 3 ohm single coil. Tootle puffers like to save energy. :D

    Haha I'm one of those guys. Not focused on saving energy, but it's nice that the Istick 30 gets me thru an 18hr day for sure. Beats using a fistful of eGos

    I just match my heat and vapor to a cig and that comes in at about 6-8watts. Glued to my hand and vape all the day long...

    OP- 10ml in 4hrs? Yikes. Impressive that you can get a coil to last a month then...800ml per mth? I can only get 30ml thru a cartomiser ( 1 week ).
    Hope you're doing DIY.

    I used to easily back when I was only vaping 1.5 ohm coils on my Kayfuns at like 10w. On my mechs, with a .8 ohm coil around 20w, my chain vaping will kill one in less than a day. Youre heating 4 coils, that takes ALOT of power to heat all of them, and your insanely low ohm coils are drawing alot as well. In fact thanks for reminding me, the 25R I put in at like 2am needs to be swapped out already.

    try a lower res atty and lower watts. I use 1.3-1.6ohms at 6-9watts (more like 5-8watts on some juices) 30amp 2500mah last 16+ hours maybe a full 24hrs feels like a day and a half 3-6ml of juice a day. I get a counter of about 550-750 sometimes 800+ button presses minus about 2 dozen quick presses to check battery or counter. Vamo V7 + efest 18650 2500mah 30amp 3-5second draws. I build my own coils and the spindles are so cheap I can afford to kill off dry burning all together and just pop in a fresh coil and cotton. but I use cleaner DIY juices and so my coils last longer too (usually using single flavor fruits like watermelon and peach.) I change out coils about once a month. let me know if this helps. Im not a cloud chaser but I get very decent clouds out of my GS-H5's

    Richmond, Va...Right in Altria's back yard.
    so my question is how people get 2 days worth out of a set of 2... they take a few puffs every hour?

    Not all of us blow clouds.I prefer to inhale all of mine.

    I vape 3ohm cartos at 5 volts (or just over 8 watts) I usually go through 5 ml of juice a day and thats with near constant vaping.

    Two 18650's will last me for 2 days with this setup.

    FWIW it the AMPS you watch to determine battery drain. Wattage alone wont tell you anything.. The more amps you draw the faster you drain your MAH bank.

    What's heavier: one pound of feathers or one pound of lead?
    Wattage tells you everything.

    if you go by amps you will need more information:
    Is it regulated or unregulated?
    What' the voltage?
    if it is regulated, did you take the amp reading on the battery side or atomizer side?

    I can only go by how long batteries last for me.... I vape on a 5-15 watt kick module set to 75%, or 11-12watts. Funny how the higher amp drawing coils drain the battery faster. If watts, was watts, was watts.... You'd think I'd get the same battery life when running a 1.3ohm coil vs a 1.9ohm. But I don't. Why don't they use the battery at same rate? The wattage is the same?

    Efficiency of the kick module, thicker wire in the lower resistance coil leading to longer ramp up time, different vaping habits? I don't know what the specific reason is (though I believe your basing your assessment on experience rather than rigorous testing, unreliable), but in watts are watts.
