..............They all report amazingly different vape times on there devices. Your leaving a vastly incorrect impression for some new person when you assume to know what the heck an "average" vaper is. We just don't have the numbers.

I'm basing my comments on the thousands of posts I have read on this and other vaping forums as well as my own experience vaping on 15 different model PV's. Couple that with the actual physics of battery technology and I stand by my comment that a "heavy" vaper as the OP inferred, will NOT get any where close to 6-7 hours on even the larger kr808 battery. Now if the OP, or anyone for that matter, hits their kr808 a couple of times an hour, then they might get 5 or 6 hours on a charge. I believe most of us would consider that very light vaping.

After reading thousands of post where some new person states that they are tired of only getting an hour on a charge, I would rather error on the side of advising them to get a better battery model instead of inferring that a heavy vapor will get 6 - 7 hours on a kr808 battery.

if you read what i said earlier in the thread stating that i wasn't even sure if these batt's were 808's, they could be 501's for all i know as i am still a newb.

but no, i'm not lying. LIFETIME WARRANTY, and 5,6, sometimes even 7 hours on a single charge auto batt. and that's vaping quite a bit, the batt is rarely far from my lips. now at work, a batt maybe lasts me 2 hours. but at home or anywhere but work yeah, dead serious, 5,6, or 7 hours on a charge.

now, the other thing i'd like to know, is someone said something about a "mini" 808? anyone care to share a link?

It doesn't matter whether your PV is an 808 or a 510 or a 401, they are all mini-PV's with small batteries. Telling a new person that they will get 6 - 7 hours out of one of those batteries will simply mislead them and make them wonder what they are doing wrong because they don't get that vape time on a charge. I don't think even hard core 808 lovers would make that statement. If you are getting that time on a charge, then about 80% of the time you are not actually hitting it. Battery physics does not change based on who is holding the PV. I'm glad it is working well for you. I just don't want some new person to get frustrated and wonder what they are doing wrong.

Look, i'm not going to continue arguing with you. I don't need to prove anything to you or anyone else that chooses not to believe me.

No, i don't only hit it 5 or 6 times an hour, when i say heavy vaping, i mean it. I mean i hit it a good 20 to 40 times an hour. Like i said, don't believe me? I could care less. I know how long my batteries last. And i'm not going to lie about it because you don't believe me and don't want me telling other newbs something that's not true, WHEN IT IS TRUE.

Let's calm down a bit. What you think is heavy vaping most very likely does not corespond with what tha vast majority of members here think heavy vaping is. It may be heavy for you. The gennerally accepted rule of thumb is 1 hr moderate vaping per 100 mAh. I frankly think that is high. Maybe I am a heavier vaper than most. That having been said, the rules of physics are pretty well vetted. A 1000 mAh battery will last 5 time longer than a 200 mAh Battery. It is probably a losing proposition to argue with vets that have experience with the whole range of equipment.
