Originally posted in another thread responding to Pila charging rates... Decided to post it here since it is relevant to my battery runtime testing. Oh, and I couldn't stand just vaping one juice all day long to do the solo battery test, so back to vaping all 3 devices at once. Take a while longer, but I'm happier for it. 
----------------------------------
I re-timed the charge rate of the 18350 when I had to finally charge it a second time (still on my 3rd charge). When down to 3.3v (with a load on the mini, not a voltmeter) the Pila charged it in 1hr 14 min. I was floored. The 3.3v is where my mini starts to do the slow flash. I have yet to drain an 18650 since I got my Pila, but the stock charger Provape sells took around 5hrs to charge it from slow blink mode (3.3v loaded). Look forward to seeing how fast the Pila charges it. However, running one 18650, one 18490, and one 18350 at the same time, I'm finding that I'm gonna be charging maybe once every 3 days one of the batteries.
So far the 18350 still seems to get me 2ml of use before requiring a charge, almost ready for a recharge soon (it's my favorite to use) sitting at 3.5v and a little more than 1.5 ml used so far.
Already got a bit more than 3ml on the 18490 and it's still got 3.5v in her. The 18650 has gone through a bit more than 3ml as well, and is sitting at 3.7v. All 3 are at 4.8v on a 3.0 ohm boge.
If I vaped faster, maybe I could get these #s solidified quickly; however, at this rate, think it will be at least another two weeks before I know my averages amongst all 3 battery types and then I'll update my other post.
