I'm a prime example that practice doesn't make perfect. I've been on a keyboard for 28 years and I can't type half that fast.

OMG Lucky. I hope you got a bite or two of Turkey between the typing, battery changes and vaping trials today!
OH yes. Went to an absolutely wonderful, beautiful buffet with our families and now everyone is getting ready to come over here for drinks and then MORE desert. LOL
Hey, save me a cookie! LOL I had to stay home today by myself. Terrible cold/flu thing. Wahhhhhh no Turkeys for me!
OK, after 4 hours the vapor production has slowed. This is fairly normal life for a 14500 for me. The HTD battery is still alive but I want more power. I'm switching back to the PT.

PS: I was wrong. It's still going strong, just needed to top off.

You're still sick, girlfriend? Also sorry to report there ain't no cookies. It's mom's homemade pecan and apple pie. lol Shhhhhhhhh we might make Steve hungry.
Hmmmmmm interesting you can get 4 hours.
You're not going to like my report either. The one I put in this morning went 5 strong and then dropped, but was still OK for another hour or so until I realized I had a fresh one in my bag and just switched. The last couple of hours I was biking and stopping to take photos so I wasn't vaping quite as hard, but I did get a good half a day out of it. I can't believe with all the people using these things that no one has a good answer for you, but something 'ain't right'. I am pretty hard on batteries too. As an example, I get about 2.5-3 hours on average from the Mega-510s. Like someone else already mentioned I am starting to feel anxiety for you over this too.
Ok, now I ran it down. Made 5 hours at fairly strong vaping. So I say according to my normal vaping usage the HTD battery that I tested was normal for a Trustfire 14500 protected battery. So I think I can assume that the HTD batteries are a good buy.

So you guys, why is this happening? Tried a different charger and everything. Why am I the only one this is happening to with ALL these batteries??? Steve has 2 of them so he KNOWS I'm not making this up. LOL
Reporting in....I do believe I have ONE out of the new bunch that has lasted tonight for several hours. I put it in at like 5 pm and it's 11 ish now. I vaped on it for about an hour before people got here. I could not vape on it all night non stop or anything, but would go and take lots of vapes here and there when I could and then I've been vaping it for about another hour and a half and it hasn't dropped yet. So I have 4 of these and the first one I tried did drop in an hour or so, one hasn't dropped and is holding up and I have 2 more to try. These, again, were from HTD.
Not that this is good to hear, but it's a bit comforting to hear that I'm not the only one. lol I am batting about 1 out of 12 batteries between both places. The only one that is lasting several hours is 1 from HTD. That's it. At least you got a 50/50.
Hi Lucky -
I've been using the silver protected UltraFire from Protected UltraFire 14500 AA sized 3.6V Li-Ion Rechargeable Battery 900 mAh CR14500 Lithium Ion and just pulled a batt I've been using on and off for the past 24 hours and still have a reading of 3.84... it's still vaping fine.
I have 2 batts I rotate for use in my Protege (I change them out everyday) and throughout the day alternate between using my Protege and Prodigy. I know I get several hours out of it.
Seriously, if you want I'll send you one of the ones I've been using. Just PM me. I will only use protected batts myself so if I were in your situation I'd try an unprotected one just to see if it worked but I'd still want a protected batt to use on a regular basis.

Steve, I got a multimeter and understand what to do on mesuring voltage. My question is, when a batty starts out around 4.2 V, what am I looking for? What voltage should it hold at for several hours before taking a dive? What would be considered the voltage dive that they are too weak to vape at? Thanks.

That brought a smile to MY face. You're a class act, Shiva. I was so hoping somebody would offer Lucky a properly working battery so that we could ALL get to the bottom of this. Very, very nice gesture. Thank you.
Yes, Shiva very kind, Richie. Richie I got the multi meter out. Can you answer the question above I asked to Steve. He's probably sleeping. hehehee
It will be interesting to try 1 protected ultrafire because look what Steve posted above.
