I don't know if it's normal or not.. I guess if you chain vape during that hour it's very possible. While I like the size of the 18350s.. I don't like the batt life. I sold mine and use 18490 and 18650s. I also notice that the higher my resistance, the more I can feel the voltage drop (on a mech) so on my mech, I run my coil at .8
With 18350 aw, at 0.8 ohms on a mechanical. I haven't tried chain vaping it heavily but I do pick it up often and draw 3-4 vapes from it at a time. It usually last a good while, maybe 2-4 hrs like this. I imagine if I'm straight chaining vaping, probably 1 hr or less. I remember throwing on a fresh battery before work. Checked it before heading out, 4.1v. Chained vaped heading to work and sat in the parking lot for a few minutes vaping. Probably about 12 minutes total time ( I live close to work ) checked the battery, 3.7v.
What types of batteries do you use?

Efest imr.. i do vape the crap out it though

A low Ω coil will drain a battery pretty quickly....You didn't mention which MOD you are running it on, but I'd suggest going to an 18650 battery MOD at least, but even then, don't expect more than about 4 hours of average vaping out of it at the most. Low Ω coils will drain a battery very quickly.
A Kick is a nice feature, but it only turns a mechanical MOD into a VW device .... I have one for my Natural, but I have to run it with an 18500 battery in the 18650 tube, so battery life is again compromised, but I still like it. The power deliver is more consistent, but it actually uses some battery power, so it reduces the vape time about 10-20%....but it helps protect the battery also by not letting it drop below 3.2 volts (you should never let a Li-Ion batt drop too low).
For the same price, you can just get a Vamo & have all the features of a Mechanical & the Kick plus a lot more flexibility (RMS/AVS , VV/VW, ability to run various battery combos, etc). The only disadvantage of the Vamo is that you will have to keep your coils at 1.2Ω or above or it won't fire it.
For comparison; I generally get almost a full day of heavy vaping out of a Vamo with an RSST running a 1.2 to 1.4 Ω coil with an 18650 battery, and only about 3-4 hours running it with a Kicked Natural (running a 18500 battery).
The only way to get decent vaping time (a day or more) on a low Ω coiled RBA is to go with a monster battery mod like a Bombshell Stinger from Hotvapes - it runs a HUGE 26650 battery! It's a very impressive MOD - Large diameter but comfortable to hold, and you can also run it with a Kick.

A batterys discharge capacity is relative to its storage capacity. A 18650 gets less stressed by delivering, say 15 watts, than a 18350.
Discharge rating is measured in "C". 1C equals the A rating of a battery. I.e, a 800mah battery (0.8Ah) has a 1C discharge rating of 0.8A. A 2200mah (2.2Ah) has a 1C discharge rating of 2.2A. What's comfortable for a 2200mah battery might put strain on a 800mah battery and make them lose efficiency to heat, etc. (The "etc" to camouflage the fact that I'm no expert and can't elaborate).

"Battery life" on a mech mod is going to greatly depend on your taste. For example, your 1Ω coil on a fresh charge is going to give you about 15 watts. Lets say that your taste finds that 13 watts from your RSST is weak and not satisfying; the end of usable battery life. 13 watts is going to be about 3.6v under load, or about 3.8v static. Lower the resistance to .8Ω and your 13 watt taste limit will now be at about 3.2V under load, meaning more usable battery charge.
This is all assuming that your mod, battery, and atty are all in good working order with a low voltage drop. If your voltage drop is too high you may be blaming the battery for a resistance problem.
