You supposedly get 1 hour per 100 mah of continuous vaping. It's doubtful if you're vaping non-stop. If you are using low resistance cartomizer, they can reduce the length of time. Some say by 1/2, but I've never found it to be that much. Even if it is half, that'd be 5 hours of continuous vaping.

If it's a genuine new Joye battery and you're getting 4 hours or less, I'd keep my eye on the battery.

Maybe I don't use mine as much as some people do but I am going through about 2 mils a day on average and I have the ego c twist 900mha with a 2.4 ohm clero at 3.8 volts and I never have a problem with the battery lasting all day long. Maybe there is something wrong with yours or it could be that you are using a low resistance device which I have read somewhere is not really recommended for the egos.

At the same time, how long do these chain-vape sessions last and how many do you do in an hour?
Doing 5 vapes in a row, twice an hour, for 24 hours is going to give longer battery life than 10 vapes every 40 minutes in the same 24 hours(if my math ends up being off, I blame it on tired and sleep deprivation)
I've kinda skimmed the thread, so I don't know if the OP clarified how often "constantly vaping" is.
I haven't really been keeping track, but on the few times I have I noted my eGo-T 650mAh has lasted between 8 and 10 hours.
Voltage and resistance can only tell you so much before you have to factor in how hard someone is vaping, how often, etc

And now I just gotta try hammering on some maths in regards to my own setup, tho it would surprise me if I'm way off on some of it
Let's see, about 3.3v, clearo's ohm range is 2.2-2.4, so say 2.3. Comes out to just under 1.5A
650mAh should hold for ~40 minutes if I were to pull 1A constantly, so probably 20 minutes at the above ~1.5A. I should probably get ~240 vapes during the day(@5s per vape), so to get 10 hours out of it I'd have to vape once every 2.5 minutes
Of course that's ignoring that the voltage dips as the battery loses charge

I have no idea how many times I puff within an hour. That's what my new eVic is for ;)

Thanks for the help. I figured it out I think. My vivi nova cracked on a cola juice. I only got to use it for 1 day and it gave me 6 hours at 2.4 ohms.

I ordered some Kangers, but I had nothing to vape on so I used my old 510 atomizer that came on a skinny ecig. It is the dripping type. I am guessing that it is a low resistance atty (i don't have a ohm meter). This atty only gave me 4 hours.

I then received my Kangers and I am getting around 6 or 7 hours of charging time on them. I am a heavy vaper at times and sometimes don't put it down. I don't think I got a bad battery. I think the change to the old atty was the problem

Hi I recently bought a Joyetech ego c twist and I charged it overnight. I woke up and used it fully charged. It is a 1000mah battery. It only gave me 4 hours usage. The most I have gotten is 6 hours use. I am constantly vaping. Is it possible that I am doing something wrong? I use it at 3.8-4.2 but I take shorter hits and might be turning it on off too frequently. Please help

I never turn mine off, are you supposed to?

There are so many variables that come into play with VV mods. The regulator type can make a difference as well as the resistance load from various coils. Add to that vaping frequency and length of draw and battery life can be all over the place.

I get most of a day from a 2000mah AW 18650 IMR and I try to swap the battery onto the charger when it reaches 3.5v. If I vape it down to 3.2v I get a whole day most of the time using 2.5 to 3.1 ohm cartos. There are few times when it's not in my hand or in my jeans pocket. If I get busy with something that requires busy hands, my vaping time on a battery extends considerably.
