Thus far, I have been going through just about a full 6ml bottle per set. I always check the voltages of my batt/batts when I refill, and they have been around ~3.7-3.8v's when I refill... (This is with new AW IMR 18350's)
By the way, I have always had to swap out my 18650's about half way through a 6ml bottle to maintain the same "vaping experience" due to voltage fall off...

I'll try to check more carefully. I know I'm not getting 6ml because I always change batts when I re-fill the bottle and I've had my VV shut down on me three times due to low batt level.
I'm thinking I'm getting around 4ml tops at 4.5 ish volts. Thats more than a day for me though.
In comparison I use to swap out 18650s at about 3ml or less due to unsatisfactory vape.
So the VV has been awesome compared to 18650 IMHO.

Yep...I'm getting about 4mls out of mine (which is fine, I don't vape more than that in a day)...but I vape my REO wet...so the atty has to work harder. However, I do suggest 3 sets over 2. Two sets just won't cut it if you get distracted and forget to charge one set. Ask me how I know. 
4 to 4.5 ML of juice using a Cisco 510 2.5 atty Set around 4.4 to 4.6 or so. I vape dry. Love the burn
I have and some times do get closer to 5 .5.5 ML of juice if I do not turn up the power but I love my sweet spot.

I vape around 3 mLs, then swap the batteries. They're usually around 3.6 - 3.7 volts each at this point. I could keep going, as I tend to keep it set around 4.4 volts, but I have 4 pairs of batteries, so they all get rest periods before and after charging. RCR 123a Powerizers.
Whoops, can't do that on my first set. I took them out before they shut down and charged them. I have gone through about 4ml but this is the second charged pair of batteries. I use my VV along with 9 other Wood REO's.
Lovin it! Like to turn the wheel and see what happens! So far so good!

Sounds great so far, Im not a heavy vaper at the moment, but I want to make sure they'll make it through a day. The small size of the batts sort of worried me at first..
last night I got 12 hour before I needed to recharge and that was about 5 mls of juice
Didn't specify my atty/voltage setup... The above is with a IKV io6 1.8Ω running at 4.2v's. (9.8watts which probably burns through more juice than a 2.5Ω @ 4.5v's would at 8.1watts) The bottle is never "completely empty" when I refill, so I guess a more accurate estimate would be about 5-5.5mls with my current setup....
I haven't let mine get to a cut-off, and they've been coming off around 3.6 or so. Typically pulling them after about a day, which is about 5 mL. I'm using a Cisco 2.0 ohm 306, and running at probably a relatively low voltage, I'd guess around 4.0, but don't have an under-load meter to test with...
I haven't felt like I had to change mine, but have for convenience (like I was going somewhere, and didn't want to carry extras, so went ahead and put in a fresh set).
For what it's worth, I don't particularly care what my voltage is! Just found what I liked...

At 4.0v with a 1.8 ohm 306 and AW IMR 18350s that I've been using in another mod for a while, I got through a bottle and they died just a few squonks in to the next.
Day 2, same atty same voltage - Different batteries. The Blue (pretty sure they are BDL) "COV IMR" 18350s went pretty close to 7 ml. This is exactly what I expected. I have 2 sets of those and a set of AW's that I've been using in a 5.0v resisted mod and those BDLs have always gone hours longer than my AWs.
Day 3 - back to the AWs - that 306 got a bit of an odd flavor this morning, so about 1/2 ml in to this bottle, I tossed it in some vodka and swapped it for a 2.8 ohm carto. I bumped the voltage up to 5.1v. Those batts just died and there is pretty close to 1.5 ml left in the bottle.

six- so are you saying that the blue (possibly BDL) shorter batts last longer than the AW?
That is interesting because with the mini's battery (14500) the BDL is definitely inferior to the AW.

Still on my first set about 4mls down running the AW IMR 18350's with 2,5ohm HH357 @ 5v
Yes. I bought Two pairs of "COV IMR 18350s" and a pair of AW IMR 18350s from COV in July of last year. The blue COV 18350s have lasted way longer in my 5.0v resisted mod than the AWs since day 1.
I completely agree that normally the BDLs are to be avoided. I have a couple of BDL 18650s that are pretty much useless for vaping, but the 18350s have been great.
Not to mix apples and oranges....AW IMR 18650s (in any choice of PV) is still my favorite battery for long time usage.
With a pair of the CoV 18350s I'm getting 4-5ml before battery change. They're a tight fit once you throw a magnet spacer into the mix, though they work just fine.
Are yours orange (maybe red) or are they blue? The picture at COV has changed since I bought mine... and Mine fit perfectly with no spacer.
They're blue. The positive end is ever so slightly recessed below the edge of the wrapper, just enough to not make contact when stacked without a spacer. I only have the one pair of those (purchased several months ago). I've got a couple pairs of AW protected 16340s, as well, which is what I'm using right now
I have a set of flat top IMR red jackets I got from nhaler and I'm only getting about 6-7 hours from them but getting around 12 from my AW IMRs
