Regarding the batteries, I think you should charge them as often as possible to extend their lifetime. Just like cell phone batteries and everything else these days. (The myths about memory effects came from a 10 yo technology and doesn't apply to lithium)

Regarding the leaks, I think it's normal. FWIW, in a primed atty, I use two drops from my regular droppers or three drops from my tiny bottles. More than that results in leaking.

I'm not having any issues with the batteries...They work perfect for me...I can go all day on a single charge...Why would I want to charge them before they are drained??

...To extend the battery life. Lithium ion likes to be as charged as possible. Just like cellphone batteries and laptops and etc.

I'm not saying that you must. But if you can, it's a simple way to extend their lifespan and performance ;-)

It's been about a week now since I received my Ego and it is definitely a different beast than the Stick...I was so used to the 801 atty it took me a while to come around to the 510...At first it seems a little harsh compared to the 801 however after a little acclimation I am starting to like the warmer vapor...I think the flavors are more pronounced and vapor production is as great if not better than the stick. Since my Stick is DOA I have nothing to compare side by side, I am only going off my memories of my Stick...The battery life on the Ego is perfect for me with the standard atty...I am averaging one full day worth of vaping on a single charge, for the past week my battery has died of the evening all within 30 minutes or so of each other...

I only have two complaints and they stem from the atty...One is the tip on the 510 atty is way different than my 801...I think the disappointment comes from the draw hole, it is too restrictive for my liking, so I enlarged it with a Dremel tool and temporarily solved that issue...I will be getting some T-tips for this guy ASAP...

My other pet peeve is the atty leaking...I've tried everything I can possibly think of and I can not get this thing to stop leaking...For the past 2 years on my 801s I have always dripped and never had a real issue...Of course the occasional leak, but not all the time day in day out...What is up with the 510 atty? Does it always leak? I've tried it all and it always seems to leak...I even tried swithing attys to a LR atty I got at the time I purchased my Ego and it too leaks...Any ideas, besides too much liquid??

Leave the cone on, dont worry about it, and just wipe it down whenever you change the battery? Thats pretty low maintenance, and it works :)

Interesting...How about not letting the battery charge until full...Does that pose any issues?

No - partial charging in any case will not damage the battery. It is my understanding, that these batteries can handle the abuse. I am sure however, that if you constantly partially charge them, as opposed to always charging them fully, that the latter option is the better - but i dont think its something you "will feel", if that makes sense.
