What is the lifespan of an MVP2? (Charge cycles)

[KODIAK (TM)]

It's been discussed but I can't find it. So, maybe 300-500 cycles? What's the oldest one here and how does the old guy still perform in its feeble state? Mine is 3 months old - still new with maybe 75 charge cycles. I don't notice any day to day difference and typically just charge it once in the evening. It runs through 4ml a day easily and I think I've only seen it get down to 3.7v remaining one time.

I know it's disposable but really like it. Curious to know if when it croaks, will it perform pretty much like new then die a fast death? Or, will it just degrade over time not holding a charge as long?

My only gripe about vaping has been battery management and this thing performs flawlessly. If I can get a year of heavy, all-day use it's even a better bargain.

It will degrade slowly and just stop working.. but before it just stops working, you'll have so much voltage sagging you won't want to use it.

My MVP is almost a year old.. super heavy use, plus it was ran over by a work van.

When these LI-ion batts of any type begin to age you will notice less capacity from the battery. It won't hold a charge as long as it used to. You may also notice it will not accept the full charge level any more. I use replaceable batteries and replace them when capacity starts to fall off noticeably.
