I have to agree. My new white w/red LED lasted quite long the first few charges, but now it's probably lasting (as you said) 75-80% as long as my silver/blue/red batteries with the ash cap. At first I thought it was just perception, but after rotating them for a week, the white battery definitely doesn't last as long. Today I barely got 2 hours out of it, and I usually go at least 3-4 when I'm at work, because I don't vape that much at work.
Unfortunately, I agree. My new blue and green 65mms do not last as long as my old blue 65mm. I was really surprised, my old blue lasts me all day if I don't chain vape, but my new ones last maybe through the morning. I had to charge the new blue one twice and the new green one once yesterday.
I have found that when I use my one charger the batts last longer. If I use a different charger then they all tend to need to be recharged more.
I just ordered me 2 XL batteries this week, I have 4 - 65mm batteries and I was constantly having to have one charging. I just thought it was that way. I love the size but they don't last but about 1 1/2 hours and takes about that long to charge. I thought maybe it was just me vaping more than ya'll because I'm trying different juices.
I was that wondering the other day. I just figured maybe my PCC got bumped and it stopped charging early.
Further evidence in my case: I switched to the white battery while at work, just about to go home. Got home, vaped very lightly (mostly working around the house, cooking dinner, eating) for less than 3 hours and it was dead when I got in my car to leave. Definitely not 'normal' performance for these batteries.
I know how to test voltage, but is there a way to easily test capacity at home?
^ I was wondering the same. Leaford has said that the only change was the ash cap, but I'm not imagining this. I didn't post anything about it, figuring I probably just got a bum battery (I even though it might fail shortly), but now that I see others with the same problem, I know I'm not the only one.
I asked this question here about 3-4 weeks ago and got no responses so I figured I must be the only one.
Short answer: No.
You could hook up a suitable resistance to the bat and see how long it would last, but you would have to bypass the switch.

Well we know a few parts came from a different manufacturer, but were told they only differ in appearance. Remember the first thread with pics of the target, the battery connection looked different too. I don't think anything was said about the innards of the battery itself being different, but things are apparently subbed out all the time, upstream from leaford.
I'm not proposing the mah is different, I have no reference. I do have a competitors should be the same model, with the old ashcap, but haven't paid any attention to it's longevity vs. my bloogs. But I'm pretty sure that IF the life is shorter, then the mah must be lower. That's what mah measure.
And just to throw this out there, are ya'll sure that your vaping style hasn't changed coinciding with the new bats? I find that I'm taking much bigger longer hits than I did earlier, but I'm also using other juices too, and I'm pretty new, the new battery is when i started.
I guess if someone wanted to measure it, you could continuously run the battery by wet burn until it dies timing it, and do the same with the older battery, but you're liable to blow out a carto or two while doing so. I can't think of another real easy way to test it under load, but I'm a chemicals and plumbing guy, electro stuff beyond molecular charges don't make intuitive sense to me, once a wire disappears into a black box I tend to quit chasing it...

The carto coil would not resist long.
That's why I said you would have to use a suitable resistance (and still be carefull about heat dissipation).
All in all, I wouldn't advise you to play with it unless you have some experience in this field.
These LiPo batteries, although small, carry a big punch and can be dangerous under some circumstances.
It's not down to vaping habits for me, because I'm rotating up to four batteries (usually 3). Three of them are older ash-cap batteries. Only my white battery with the target cap has the shorter life.
Also, (and I know Leaford mentioned this somewhere) the Bloog logo is reversed. The 'B' is now closer to the carto end, whereas all my other batteries are the other way. Different manufacturer?

My vaping habits haven't changed. Lately I haven't been able to chain vape at work, so thats how I noticed that my old blue lasts me literally through the day until my commute home. The new blue & green last half that time. I know that there were cosmetic changes but I was under the impression that the "insides" hadn't changed.
I am using the Bloog USB charger for all my batteries, so it's not the charger difference for me either.
