I have 6 egos 1100 mah. Former analog, newbie vapor 2 months. I vape constantly (7am to 1 am)and carry my ego plus one or two spare batteries.

Should I

** rotate through all six batteries - how frequently - like use 3 week one week three the next or cycle through all of them?

** fully charge two of them and store them? If I went back to use the ones I stored in 6 months would they still be good?

** I also use a Vea Canteen Pro that has a pass-through. does using the pass-through decrease or otherwise affect battery life.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I don't use egos anymore, but I rotate my normal batteries in pairs, typically.

I have 4 charged at all times, usually one in my device and 3 in my case.

You will notice when they aren't lasting as long. That's usually a good time to get fresh ones if you can afford to.

This way you just toss 2 and get 2 more.

Also, toss the other 2 that you aren't using on the charger every other month or so to make sure that they haven't completely died.

I'd just go ahead and use them all in daily rotation. Or maybe 4 in rotation and 2 as spares. I use that style as backup when out and about, or when I just want something a bit smaller than an 18650 mod, or with another topper for a flavor change, and swap out (and recharge) after about 3 ml has gone through. (Although most of mine are 1300 mAh) Just my way of keeping track of the charge state of each one.

If you're going to "box" some, it's best to use them a bit first and not store them at full charge. The fully charge before putting back in service.

Using in pass thru shouldn't affect long term life.
