I have 4 18350s, 4 18490s, and 3 18650s.
I have 3 ProVaris but I only use one at a time so my batteries are always charged or charging.

I rotate routinely. It just happens that way naturally.Same here which is probably why I don't ever think about rotating batteries.

I rotate mine in the cases. I don't always have batteries that need charging...lolI just grab the next battery in the charger. Guess I'm rotating without giving it any thought.

Wow reading this I feel like I do t have enough. Lol between us my wife and I have 6 350's 4 490's and 1 650 and I just got the 650 yesterday.
I drip on a 510 atty and an Igo-L at about 2.2ohms. My volts are usually set up around 4.8 since I vape mostly tobaccos and teas. Much higher voltage and it gets too hot, close to burnt taste, much lower than 4.6 and I start losing flavor and impact.
I want to try the 1.6/1.8 ohms or a little lower range but not until I get better at coil building. I am waiting on delivery of a Russian 91% sometime in May. Ridiculous wait, I know, but it gives me time to practice. I am a don't fix what ain't broke type of girl.
I got one 18650, 2 18490, and 2 18350 for my 2 provaris (one mini and one full size) but I haven't been vaping that long.
I've been wondering about this too. I got my mini last May 2013 and have 4 -18350's, 2 AW's and 2 Efest that are in steady rotation (I haven't noticed a difference between them). In the beginning, I used 2 per day. Now I seem to be changing them out every few hours and it's driving me nuts! I've started checking them from the charger and instead of seeing 4.2, I'm only seeing 4.0. That didn't seem terribly low, but I really don't know. I'm thinking I maybe due for some new batteries soon. I usually use a PT2 around 2.0. Doesn't AW ever do co-ops?
18650s last the longest but the unit gets pretty heavy when running that large a battery. It doesn't fit in my lanyard holder so I only use those batteries when I'm at home.The only battery coops that I have seen since summer have been for the flat tops which will not work in our Provarii. The current battery coop (by Proeteus I think) is for flat tops too. It is all about the mech mods batteries. I would jump on an AW coop if someone would do one.
My little 18350s are only lasting about 3 hours or so for me and they were new in December. I just blow right through them. I am getting sick of switching and charging batteries 2x a day. I have also found that I have a bit of trouble putting on the standard end cap. Arthritis in my hands, I guess. Love the 18490s though. We will see how I like the 18650s. I have never used one.
Try switching to 3ohms and vaping at higher voltage.I know it sounds backwards (I myself had many an epic disagreement on this very subject) but just that small change can give you an extra couple of hours from your batteries.
In a nutshell, the lower the resistance the faster your battery drains.I didnt beleive this until I tested it out myself and I get 2 more hours from my 18650 with a 3ohm atty versus a 2ohm one.
Would the new purple Efests last longer?
They have a higher amp rating, but I don't know enough to know for sure (the reason why I don't rebuild LOL).
