I'm not on a mech but use a regulated mod. Should I not let it get very low? I usually try to charge them before they get low. I'm just thinking about battery life.
Two questions.

Most regulated devices will have a battery charge cut off that is well within the safe discharge rate of the batteries.
Normally around 3-3.4volts. The chip in the regulated devices is doing the thinking for you and telling you the batteries are in need of re-charging.
So no, I wouldn't worry too much with a regulated device.
You might want to run your regulated device until it refuses to fire, due to low battery, then put the batteries in a charger and see the low charge rate. If above 3v then all is fine.
If lower than this, well then I've given you bad advice and your MOD is not monitoring battery charge very well

This is helpful, thanks.
So when the regulated device won't fire anymore & I go to charge the battery, are there chargers that can read the voltage at low charge? Or how do you take that reading?
The above does not mean you can ignore amp draw on your device.
With a parallel dual battery regulated MOD, with good 20A batteries, again no worries.
But if you have a single or series battery regulated MOD with a silly low ohm build (0.2 or less in power mode) then you need to watch that your single battery is not drawing too many amps at high power, with when in a lower voltage state.
DNA and Provari chip-sets will monitor for this and give 'weak battery' warnings, and limit the power to limit amp draw.
I guess the lower cost China mods should do this, but wouldn't guarantee it myself.

Yes my Efeast LUC 4 charger provides voltage readings for each battery on charge.
I'm sure many other chargers do the same.
I cant believe information like that is being given out. Even a quarter of that would be a very high level of nicotine.
That's 25mg/ml. That's high for most people, especially on newer gear. On an old style clearo, some use nic in that level, especially when they are first trying to quit smoking.
If your charger doesn't tell you battery voltage, you can check it with a digital multimeter.
You can use a multimeter. My regulated mod (2x 18650 in parallel) goes into "low power"/won't fire when they hit 3.6V.
Mine cut me off in different places, sometimes due to a point that it always cuts off, and sometimes higher because of the power I'm running at.
A regulated mod will warn you of a low charge, but it (as far as I know) warn you that you are drawing too many amps from your battery. As the voltage decreases on your battery, the amperage usage increases.
