Hey
I do believe the eGo is constructed so that it doesnt drop before its last breath - ie. it will utilize all the power, and the second you notice something is not as strong as it normally is, it dies right after that.

I tend to take looooong draws so I am sure that it effects my batt life. I would be happy with a consistent 7 hours they way I vape.........
Just for the fun of it, on your eGo, try vaping it my way - and then your way and see if you can feel a difference. I mean the way i designed it, the atomizer cover is both for design/looks, but also to warm up the liquid making it less necessary to take those long draws, in order to get "that" feeling.
7h did they last here, but i have plenty of time vaping and the eGo is my new toy so i stress it real hard in my opinion.
today i put 4ml liquid in a syringe and will see how far the batteries use that up.
i just don't get to count each drag, even with my clicky counter i mostly forget to *click*.

Hehehe, - i can just picture you in a rocking chair, clicking every drag away while you mumble and nod to the ghosts next to you. *cough*
The batteries we've been stuck with in the e-cig world thus far haven't been tailored to the type of amperage draw. First we had the mini e-cigs that needed to look like analogs or there would have been little interest amongst smokers. Then there was a shift to available batteries for mods and such (like the JS). Those batteries aren't designed for a 2 amp, sporadic draw.
If the eGo, over a longer period, has the same results that we're seeing thus far, it's a major breakthrough. Mik, do you know or can you find out if there was new engineering that went into these batteries? Something that fends off and compensates for those quick amperage draws? It appears that the 600 mah of the eGo is a true 600 and not, say, the stated 900 mah of the standard 14500 -- which is probably closer to 600. The physical size of both batts is close, so something new/improved seems to be afoot.
I can vouch for what Mik is saying, this morning after my first post I set the 1.4v batt on charge and continued to vape on the 1.45v one. About an hour later it ran out of charge, so about 8-10 hours vaping.
The thing was, the vape just before the power shut off was one if not the best vape I have had thus far. It produced an unreal amount of vapour and the throat hit was extreme considering what I am using is only about 14mg.
So I think it seems to shut off when it hits about 1.4v although I will have to see if this is true a little later. It took 1hr to charge the 1.4v batt up to full and when I checked its reading it was 3.86v, so I started vaping on that and have been for 3 hours now. Here are the readings.
1100hr - 3.86v
1200hr - 3.71v
1300hr - 3.55v
1400hr - 3.52v
I will continue with the readings up until it dies and then I will do the same with the other battery I have which I have left to charge for 8 hours. Considering the amount the numbers have been dropping I have noticed no difference in vapour production, taste or throat hit.
--
Something else I noticed was that the reading goes up when I remove my finger from the manual button. It will be rock steady on 3.50v for example, then as soon as I let go it jumps up to about 3.52v for 1-3 seconds then it turns off. It is not an instant off, it seems to purposely jump by .02v for a couple of seconds after you release, I have noticed this every time I have took the readings.

And now im going to switch to the XL battery. .... lets see how long this lasts.
but keep in mind, - since this IS a subjective test, that doesnt mean the XL should last longer - i mean 18 hours is quite insane.. but.. oh well, lets test it anyways.
Starting at 15:20 with the XL battery, and ill keep you posted.

HOLY CRAP!!!!
I went almost 24 Hrs on a eGo battery.
I started at about 0800 yesterday and went at it pretty hard all day. Was very surprised to find it made it all day. Got up this morning and vaped for about an hour before it died.
The perfect ecig!
Thanks Janty wonderful job on the eGo.

Wow!
Im glad to hear that im not the only one getting insane life out of this thing!
Argh. My XL button just died on me, permanently glowing the white LED. It should be noted that it IS a prototype, and it does not have the same button as the eGo does.. so - i guess i cant test that one yet.
Hmm.. i wonder how long this LED will light up for.. *doh*

1100hr - 3.86v
1200hr - 3.71v
1300hr - 3.55v
1400hr - 3.52v
1500hr - 3.50v
1600hr - 3.43v
1606hr - battery drained
I was vaping pretty heavy to be honest and as often as I could lol. Sat here on my PC listening to music I use it more like you would use a PT I guess. 5 hours on a 1h charge seems pretty good to me, going to fire up the other battery now that has been charged for 5 hours.
It is reading 3.96v before I start, so lets see how long this can go for. Problem is I have family coming around tonight and everyone of them smokes, so this thing will be getting hammered lol
Going from the empty batt to the full one, the taste, throat hit and vapour is identical despite the .5v difference.
1200hr - 3.71v
1300hr - 3.55v
1400hr - 3.52v

Hmmm. The starting point isn't at 4.2 v or so? I'm surprised. Has your meter been calibrated recently?
Just because I'm so curious (because I don't have an eGo in my hand yet) could I ask a favor? Would it be possible to measure the output voltage of the charger? I'd appreciate it if at all possible... Thanks. =)
richie i've seen similar values right bevor the battery of my meter died.
i checked yesterday and the full charge was at 4.32Volts.
but now i am short off a new 9V battery

I just measured a fully charged battery and it is reading 4.1v and the charger itself is showing 4.24v.
I can't tell you how long this is lasting my wife because there is no way it is ever going to be an issue. She switches batteries in the morning so she is never going to run out of charge.
I can tell you the one day I used it I was able to get over 7 hours out of it. Can't really pin it down more than that, but maybe 7.5. Here is the thing that is really confusing me. My PV runs on a 900mAh battery and it dies somewhere around 8 hours. So no real difference between the two. Maybe I'm unconsciously using the eGo differently or it is just more efficient due to it's design. I guess you can't go by mAh alone.

Charger reads 4.25v but I am yet to see any of my batts produce a reading above 4v.
I am not sure what could be causing it, the meter seems okay, changed its battery and it is just the same.

Just finished charging that battery that died at 16:06 and it is reading 3.91v - the Janty charger has gone green, so I assume its finished.

Thank you, Kel. Now I feel better. LOL
Nah, it's really not confusing at all, Void. Your PV battery is a 14500, I take it? That mah rating is exaggerated by the manufacturer -- most of them are. That 900 is really about 600. The eGo battery rating appears to be an accurate 600. But, the real story begins after the eGo battery cycles a few dozen times. Everybody that is giving their results are dealing with brand spanking new batts. The results should be good. In fact, they may even get better for a short spell before they start to weaken. Just like us humans, we wear out over time. LOL
