There have been suggestions made here in the past that it could somehow damage the battery. I cannot vouch for the accuracy of this in any way, however. This could also very well be someone repeating what they heard ("shorten battery life") incorrectly ("damage battery").
That is what I heard but I used 2 ohm cartos for 3 months on my 510 batterys before swicthing to a box mod and had no troubles.
I used 1.8 LR atty's on a 510 for a week . (The larger 510 battery.) No problem. batteries seemed to last about as long because I didn't have to puff as long to get the same amount of vapor.
I believe the problem can be in the switch. The switches are not designed to handle the higher drain. I'm not 100% on this. I used LR atties on my eGo and the buzz was that the mosfet switch could fail when using the LR's. My eGo batt never had a problem for the 6 weeks or so I used it (I have since upgraded to a Provari). Unfortunately the nature of most of our e-cig stuff has poor quality control. For instance, you can get lucky with an atty that lasts months, and then the next one in the box dies the first day. (happend to me yesterday! arg!)
I've been asking this same question... I have been been using LR 2.0 ohm carto's on my standard 510 batteries and haven't had a problem yet. Hopefully I continue to have no problems because this method is the closest thing I have found to an analog as far as TH and vapor production goes. 
"The best you will get out of an eGo battery is 0.65A or 1A that is with 650 and 1000mAh respectively. A 1.5 LR draws 2A on an eGo battery.
The ratings 650mAh and 1000mAh do not state the maximum current output of the battery. Rather, they state how long the battery will last given a particular current draw. For example, a 650 mAh battery can deliver 650 milliamps (0.65 amps) for one hour. The 1000mAh can deliver 1000 milliamps (1 amp) for one hour. So, if you're using a 3.7 Volt 1000mAh battery, it works out like this:
I = current (amps)
V = voltage (volts)
R = resistance (ohms)
3.7 volts across a 1.5 ohm atomizer:
I = V / R
I = (3.7)/(1.5)
= 2.47 amps = 2 470 mA
This is the current that the atomizer will draw from the battery. To find out how long the battery can deliver this current, you do the following:
time (hours) = mAh/mA
= (1000)/(2 470)
= 0.405 hours
Therefore, with a 1.5 ohm atomizer, a fully charged 1000mAh 3.7 volt battery will last for 0.405 hours (24.3 minutes) of constant use.
Separating this 24.3 minute time frame into 5 second "draws,"
24.3 minutes * (60 seconds)/(1 minute) = 1458 seconds
1458 seconds * (1 draw)/(5 seconds) = 291.6 draws
You can do your own math based on how often you tend to take a draw to determine how long it will last you. My own personal experience is that, with a 650mAh 3.7 volt battery, using a 1.5 ohm atty lasts me about 24 to 36 hours while using the standard 2.2 ohm atty lasts me about 48 to 60 hours."

My suggestion buy a Mod that can use a High Drain IMR battery perferably 18650 size

CHEERS to your wife, as I do the same.It has sort of mirrored our old smoking habits, I used to love big cigars (although she hated the smell) so having a mod (I also have a GGTB) hasn't been a problem for me.
I think it's each to you own, find what you like then stick with it.
Good luck, I'm in a specially good mood as England has had 2 days of sunny weather and that doesn't happen very often

Does your wife use manuals or auto's? recently, I just recieved auto's and contrary to what everyone says, they are working fine for me. The auto batteries really does mirror my old habit.

I've been using a LR510 (1.7ohm) on my new eGo and it's still alive
Lifespan...now that I don't know but it's better to burn out, than to fade away...my my, hey hey...

The make LR attys specifically for eGos that rate at 1.5 and 1.7Ω. I've been vaping a 306 LR 1.5 cisco on a 510 mega batts for 6 months without a problem. I haven't lost any yet - I have three in that rotation. They need recharging a lot earlier than normal - which is why I have three for the one atty
