Pretty quickly, you are probably exceeding the rated discharge rate of the batteries. That's not good.

According to the ohms law calculator, with 3.7v and a 1.7 coil you are running 2176 mah and 8w of power. I am surprised it has not blown up in your face yet. Very dangerous.

You are drawing just a little over 2 amps. You should be under your amp limit but not much really. Shaving off battery life is not the issue. Causing your battery to go thermal or damaging it and charging can lead to a fire.
IMR batteries are a very low risk part of our life if used properly. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/blogs/baditude/4848-9-battery-basics-mods-imr-protected.html Here is some pretty good info to know do your self a favor and get to know your batteries.

Well, I didn't know the amp limit on these batts so I did a bit of searching and all I could find was this thread on ECF.

My feeling is that staying at 2.2 ohms min is the best way to go. With a +- 0.2 tolerance that will keep you over 2.0 ohms.

I have about 10 eGo batteries. I have given away more than that.
The only time I backslide and go back to analogs is when I want a really small device.
You ever used eGo mini's? 350mAh or 450mAh
I think standard resistance on the cigalikes is 2.2Ω
510-X is a 400mAh battery and smaller than a eGo

I have a pile of 350 ego's already.
I am not too worried about how many charging cycles I get, I consider batteries a disposable device, I am only concerned about thermal runaway. The 510-x has the weight too far out. I am going to take apart of few batteries and see what kind of thermal protection they have inside of them.
2 ohms will be safe in them, I am going to test all of the cartos I have and the ones below 2ohms I will use for other purposes. If I only get 30 recharges out of them (have gotten more than that already) I am fine with it. I am just going to avoid blow ups.
