heck, thats about my experience with that type battery. some will last longer and some shorter. I dont know why but they seem to last me about 2 hours no matter what i do. I went to a 14500 battery in a good mod and now vape all day on that one batty.
wow, that's kinda crummy! I was thinking it was more like 4 hours--but I think that was my starter kit batts when I wasn't using my e-cig as a pacifier (at least it's not my old tobacco pacifier, am I right?)
Could be the charger.
I have two, and one does its job while the other likes to give false fully-charged reading.
If it's fully charged, then plugging it into either charger again should give a green light.
But my good charger keeps giving me the red light with the just charged battery from the bad charger.
Do you have two to test?

2 hours is about right. And as you use them, the 2 hours will diminish fairly quickly. They have a recharge ability of about 200 times. Compare that to the RCR123a battery that can be recharged 1000 -1500 times.
Really? I get 3 hours easy. I always have and I have been through some auto 901 batts! I really would look at the chargers.
once again I have to copy from a friend does your cig spend more time in your mouth than your tongue? a 901 battery should last at less 3 hours for a chain vaporer
BTW change your pic avatar for a happy one and your btries are goona last longer

to answer all these replies....
i have 3 chargers that have gotten steady use since April. All 3 are screwy with the indicator lights. I usually let a battery sit in a charger for 4 hours--or overnight if I am getting for bed.
At work I vape almost constantly, no joke. I'm surrounded by smokers and pure job stress. I do go between just biting down on 901 and actual vaping but I do vape a LOT. I only set it down with my teeth and jaw get sore.
This is second set of batts I've bought from this store--last set lasted about 2 hours also, I'm thinking. I may try another store & get a couple chargers while I'm at it....
btw, what does it mean when a battery flashes like 50 times in a row (not the normal I'm dying flash of two times)

we measured them at two hours when new.. lots and lots of them.. one hour after ones week of our type use and needing to be replaced after two weeks.. this applies to just one pair being used at a time..
the two hours when new is just about okay.. the fact with each charge they last a little less is the problem..
using the normal worn out at 80% of original capacity time to replace factor they most certainly are not good for 200 charge/recharge cycles..
treat these things as semi disposable items.. because when used all day and every day thats is exactly what they are...
buy then cheap..chuck them often.. and dont try and expect then to do things they cant do..

Time is relative. Or is that space that's relative?
Anyway, no two people vape alike. If you vape twice as long as someone else, you'll get half the battery life. Two hours actually does seem about right though I'd tend to guess closer to 2.5 or 3. Not much of a problem really because by that time your other battery is already charged. Strangely enough you may see the batteries last longer after you've used them a few times. A USB Passthrough is a must for long vaping sessions.
The best way to get longer battery life is to follow this simple procedure. You may even get 4-8 hours per battery!
1) Vape
2) Wait two hours
3) Vape again
4) Wait two hours
5) Repeat until light starts to blink.

carry 4-6 batteries? wow, ich!
Just get a Chuck or little Chuck. Best looking, best working PV out there, and with a cr123a batt in the Little chcuk you can get a full day, or with the Chuck and an 18650 batt, you can get 2+ days! And they come in colors!!!
I tried one of those heavy mods....don't care for 'em one bit! Have to have something hanging out of my mouth like a cigarette. I haven't completely gotten over cigarettes yet so I need something light that I can bite down on and carry in mouth.
Yes, I vape pretty much every minuet of the day now and have even begun dripping (goodbye gross carts!!!) I have a battery pack here & am awaiting a pass thru. Let's see if I can get used to a manual button ha ha!!
