It really depends on the resistance of the atomizer, the lower the ohms the higher the draw the faster the battery dies. Personally I only buy telescopic mechs or ones with the three desperate tubes available (most of the good ones have all three available). Most of the time I only end up using 18350 (i get 3-5hrs) and 18490 (more than the 350s).

I'm sure YMMV but, my KTS lasted me just over 3.5 days as my primary device. This was in rotation with my Vamo & Winder. I'm not a heavy vaper so it may be less depending on how you vape.
VAPE ON !!!!
VAPE ON !!!!
I rarely use my mechanicals in 18350 mode. Besides the fact that the battery life is shorter, some genesis tanks just look and feel a bit top heavy. I prefer the form factor of 18490.
I only use 18350's. depending on resistance, and atomizer I typically get between half and a whole day out of a battery.
18 is the diameter in mm. The 3rd and 4th numbers are the length, again, in mm. So, a 18350 is 18mm X 35mm and a 18490/500 is 18mm X 49/50mm. Where I'm going here is that with a 18500, the mod will be approximately 15mm, or .600" longer than in 18350 mode.
Most tele tube mods will hold anything from a 18350, 18490, 18500 and 18650 through the use of a threaded, telescopic tube, or by, as previously mentioned, variable tube lengths that may or may not be included with the mod.
I have to agree, but the fresh off the charger experience can't be overlooked.
The 350's hold around 4v for about an hour, after that the vape changes.
Eject, insert freshie.....Ahhhhhhhh.

Something else to consider is button placement. I.e, my Natural in 18350 mode (side button) is ~0.5mm longer than my Gus 18500 (bottom button). If size is of major concern, you might want to look into hybrids.
The problem with the smaller batteries is that they do not maintain their high voltage for as long as the bigger batteries like an 18650. In a mechanical mod without VV you want the most voltage for the longest period of time. Sure you CAN get hours out of a small battery if you don't vape a lot, but you will not get hours of the best performance. Another problem is that most of the battery technology goes into 18650's because they are the ones used in millions and millions of applications from laptops to flashlights and all kinds of things that require actual real high mAh. They make all kinds of exaggerated claims regarding all batteries including 18650's. But it's not hard to find really good 18650's but there just are not that many places that make quality smaller batteries. Panasonic, Sanyo and Samsung to name a few all make excellent 18650's that keep a high charge for a long time. The smaller batteries quickly lose power and take you out of the sweet spot so you are constantly changing batteries if you are looking for that really good vape.
So how long you can vape with them is vastly different than how long you will get a good vape from them. Also the cheaper batteries and that is what you are getting with the smaller ones no matter what price you pay are mostly junk and can even be dangerous. Nobody should ever stack batteries in particular without knowing exactly what they are doing. Matched cells with exact same charges is the only way to be safe and you can't get that with cheap cells. Even if you buy them from the same place and they send them together doesn't mean they are a matching set because you don't know what is under the wrapper.
