All electronic mods will have some parasitic drain as long as a battery is installed. It will be highest while the display is on (as pictured). Once the display shuts off, it should decrease to dramatically, like to the point where leaving it that way for a few days won't make a noticeable difference to the battery's state-of-charge. Some mods also have a "deep sleep" mode, where the drain drops to a few micro-amps. That's for all intents and purposes negligible. But there is no way to truly turn then OFF and reduce the parasitic drain to zero without removing the battery (assuming they have a removable battery). Turning them "off" via five clicks likely won't make a difference. Think of that as "locked" rather than "off".
There is a parasitic drain. But with most mods it is not much at all. I doubt you would even notice a difference after a week.
Thanks Rossum! I collect high end hand held led flashlights also. The parasitic drain is always a question for them too.
Some are far far far worse than others. I have a few mods I've learned never to leave a battery in as the mod will vampire the cell to 0. Others are fine even after months on the shelf.
Anyone who's got a bunch of 18650s laying around needs at least one good flashlight [emoji106]
but happy birthday, Yeah it depends on the mod. My freaking Revenger X (which I love) is gonna drain the batteries a LOT (on or off) thanks to the ginormous power allocation it gives to the clock which I thought I wanted but is USELESS to me. They cylon (another clock mod) is just as bad. Some just really suck.
My Steampunk nano has almost zero drain. I don't even bother turning it off unless I am taking it somewhere. It all depends on the chip in the mod.

Thanks Anna. Sounds very similar to my lights. A majority of them have chips in them, and the parasitic drain varies from light to light.
The Maglite, E01, and G2 have mechanical switches. ie no parasitic drain.
Items with electronic switches have parasitic drain. Items with a clock have much more parasitic drain.
The Orca likely has the least parasitic drain.

Since I started vaping and using mods almost 8 years ago, I have never shut off a mod , at least the ones in my rotation. I do have a dozen that I dont use anymore and those have no batteries installed, but the dozen I do use stay on . Some of the ones that are on, may not get used for days, but I still leave them ready to go....but they are small, single 18650's, so they dont really drain that much....
Thank you Madame @Fidola13 , good to know.
I'm not touching my cylon though. The screen is not dying (yet) and I hear if you fiddle with things at all, like brightness, it can die. That happened to my first one. I was reluctant to buy another but I loved the vape so much!
The Revenger will be de-clocked. Once I figure it out. LOL.
Anna
Of course!
Which reminds me I could one for camping. The ultralight one I use for running is great, but a single AAA doesn't exactly have much capacity.
Worst offenders for me (i.e. draining the battery to dangerous levels in a short time) have been the Wismec Sinuous and EVERY no-name mod i've owned.
Best for minimal drain have always been the Aspire mods & Innokin. You should be good.

With Vaporesso turn off the auto functions and reduce screen timeout. In my Armour it's a world of difference.
I turn my mods off if not being used. Its just a few to five clicks on again. I really have not noticed anything where I have turned one on after several days and thought "wow, how'd that lose charge?"
I have seen batteries though left in chargers after they reached charge and it gets turned off just a day later lose a significant amount of charge.

My Joyetech Dolphin has been on for over a year. It sets on display among other noteable items in my den. Once in a while I'll grab it and "click" "thwwwwwwwth" "pwaaaaaaah" "nice and grapey"
Still shows 5 outta 5 bars.
