My batteries are not lasting as long but they recharge faster.

Thyestean:Are both of those from your personal experience Kent?

I have both, yes.

I'm just curious because, correct me if I'm wrong, I thought the Bartleby took a 14500 battery. Myself I get 5 - 6 hours tops out of a 14500 and my average on the eGo was 11 hours.

The Bart takes the 14500 which is a 900mAh batt (ymmv of course) and the Tornado/eGo is a 'whatever Scott's posted number 13xxxx ;-)' and it's a 651mAh batt. You getting twice as much from the eGo doesn't really compute, and is not my experience at all. I have gotten 6 1/2 hours tops from the Tornado on heavy vaping - the norm is 6 hours and I get 8-10 hours consistently with the Bart when I tested only vaping one quite a few times.

While the mAh ratings may be exaggerated as many have said, they are still in an order that is pretty consistent with my experience with new batts - 510 manual at 150mAh - 1.5-2 hours, 180mAh auto -3 hours, megas 510 280mAh 3-4 hours (except for the KR8 which gets 2 hours), 360mAh 4-5 hours, 650mAh 6-6.5 hours, 900 8-10 - all heavy vaping and ymmv depending on attys used and vaping habits.

Hm. I see.

I know it doesn't make a lot of sense but those are the times that I experience with both on a regular basis. I may have to try a 14500 in a different device than usual.

I'm using the 14500 on the Bartleby and Protege. I have 4 Tornado batts now and can't squeeze more than 6.5 hours which is what Pillbox38 states in his video, so I figured I was on track with that.
