Hi,
I'm using 2 cr2's in a Copper. I vape all day long. It is a battery hog, or I am a vaping hog. LOL

Depends on the batteries. I'm waiting on chargers to come in.

Using the photo batteries from walmart, that cost almost 10.00 for 2, Cr2s, those last about 3 days.

Using cheap ones I bought online for a dollar each plus shipping, they last about a day.

Using the rechargeable Chinese lithiums, they last about a day or even less right out of the package.

It's going to depend on how much you use it and what batteries you have.

I highly recommend getting rechargeables, I am being eaten alive buying batteries without a charger right now.

always have more than 1 of each. no way to tell how long batteries will last.

get another set at least of cr2s and another 18500 as backup.

that way you wont be sorry and left in the cold.

besides you will want to use 1 set while you recharge the other set.

Id say you can expect months of use but no guarantees..

I'm talking about using them without recharging them because my charger is not here yet in the mail. Some last about a day, some last about 3 days, depending on the brand of battery I am using.

The other person is talking about recharging the batteries over and over and they will last for monthS (not just one month) in that case as per their post and there is no telling how many charges you will get from any given set of batteries before they punk out, so you need more than one set if you are using rechargeables and recharging them all the time.

From your post it sounds like you just have some Cr2 batts,etc. without a charger. This is my experience, what I posted without having a charger. I'm still waiting for my charger to come in. I hope once I get the charger in, the batteries will last at least a day with each charging and that they will keep on recharging for months.

Just wanted to add,

If you don't have rechargeables, you are going to need a ton of batteries all the time, the throw away kind. This is not feasible for ecigs unless you have money to burn and don't mind throwing all those batteries in the garbage along with a ton of money.

I'm really having a hard time because I don't have my charger/s. I don't want to go back to smoking but may have to until they come in, I'm tired of buying batteries and throwing them out. The place where I ordered my chargers (BOTH places) are out of the chargers for the cr2s. Been waiting for weeks now.

I broke down yesterday and ordered 3.7 V batts and a charger yesterday out of desperation from a vendor who I know will ship fast so I can at least have something to vape on in the meantime. I've been smoking more cigs lately due to this problem and all my good work with vaping is going down the drain, energy is going down and feel like crap again due to the smoke. Beside the point, I guess, but illustrates how important it is to get ALL you equipment together before you start to vape.
