I went ahead and ordered an extra long for this very reason. I didn't want to get one cause I think it'll look goofy but I can't resist the long life. Besides the fact everyone raves and raves about them on here. I tried a PT but don't really like the taste.

There is a new version coming (VK1) but I think it's going to be a little while before they're available.

I use 2 xlongs and I get through the day.Charge one when I get home and charge the other overnite.I dont use a PCC at all.I cant wait for a VK mod.

Same for me, though I do use my PT at work sometimes. I am also anxiously awaiting the VK1, hoping it is a 5V - I'm getting itchy :D

Not really interested in more voltage as much as just longer battery life. When I start to lose flavor or vapor I now change the battery first and find this usually solves the problem. I am also finding it easier to just change battery each time I pick up the device instead of waiting for it to die on its' own by blinking.

I'm going to try and hold out and see what the VK1 is before I try to build my own mod. Purchasing one seems to be about $75+ which is more than I really want to spend right now.

I'm fairly happy with all the batteries, but I'd really like to see a multi-port charger. There's a 10-slot one for 510 batteries available from an overseas supplier, I'd love to see one for KR8 batteries.

I agree, I have batteries in the AC charger, on my USB charger, basically all over. It would be great to be able to charger multiple batteries all in one place.

I've been holding off buying new batteries until the new version come out. Hopefully, it won't be too long.

My DH has been whining about this for a month. When there are two vapers in the house, it is a fight to get to the chargers first! We have 3 wall chargers.
The USB charger overloaded what we had plugged in and fried one of the ports. I'm not a techno person, so not sure my terminology is correct, but you get the idea....

We used to fight over analogs too.

Things are always being improved on. Im sure we will see some big improvements over the next 6months on battery life. Each battery has its place and purpose. It would be nice to see the shortys and reg length batts have alot more life. I work 24 hour shifts and have to be stealthy with vaping as my employer does not allow smoking. This makes it hard to charge batts out in the open. Using the longer batts give more life but I like using smaller ones.

Getting my xlong today... woot!

XL's are my favorite. I have pink, blue, green....I think I need more colors :)

I'm sort of clumsy and have dropped too many batteries. I cut a loop of the plastic covers and put it on the battery, it helps me to not let it slip out of my fingers. Just a little tip for Klutzes like me!
