Quick question: I started with Smoketip and am in the process of slowly buying V4L batteries because I need manuals since I'm refilling my carts. What voltage do the Smoketip run, do you know? Just out of curiosity.
Who makes the best KR808 Battery

Ms. Skittish unless they've changed them in the past 6 months Smoketips are gen 1 batts, so they start at 4.2v and work their way down...
So as far as the others, like the Diamond and Stealth series, they stay the same the whole time rather than "work their way down" or do all batteries "work their way down"?
Ms. Skittish all gen 1 kr808s work their way down from 4.2v at start. Some stay above 3.9v better than others (mainly the aforementioned kd and stealth batts). Gen 2 batts stay at their regulated voltage their whole life until the very end (if you check the voltage on the last puff before death it usually registers at 3.2v). In the ones I've tested thus far that range is 3.57v-3.68v on load.
What about the Elite? I don't about volts or ohms, but the Elite gives out tons of vaper and last me all most all day.
Skittish,
Smokeless Image now has the sealed autos in 65mm and 78mm. I just bought a pair, but haven't got them yet. I'm refilling my cartos, and that's ok as long as you remove them from the battery (autos) when you do. You just don't want to "drip" an unsealed battery.

Ah! Master Morandir! Seems to me I've been vaping the holy heck out of them, if I'm doing it right(I hope I'm doing it right, I don't crave any analogs). It seems to me I vape more than I used to smoke, 1.5 PAD. My experience is extremely limited, but I'm happy with their performance. I'm taking DEEP hits every few minutes, reminds me of smoking that other thing that I used to smoke. I like vaping better than smoking!
Bill Berry sir 95% of people when they first switch seem to vape more than they smoked. As long as they're keeping you off analogs, that's what really matters. 
I like the elite 808. It is slightly larger in diameter though. It is a 380mah battery if memory serves. Has battery life indicators as well. It's available at cigeasy.com.
I've had mind for a few months now. couldn't be more pleased with it.

How about batteries that don't stink electrochemically? I'd like to find kr8* autos that will hold up for more than 30-45 days. This ordering new ones every month for flat failing-to-charge batteries is getting old. The earlier batteries I was using that had the diaphragm-type switches were still taking a charge a year later. At some point many suppliers seemed to switch to a different manufacturer that was using a far inferior battery electrochemically (characterized by that manufacturer using a 'microphone'-based switching system too).
Now it seems I can't get batteries that hold up more than a month or so and I'm about done with that nonsense.
Any suggestions?

Ms. Adrenalynn been using the king diamond and stealth batts frpm v4l 95% of the time since their release in march and haven't lost any to switch issues save for ones intentionally done in by juice for testing purposes (with one exception, one was killed by a thicker juice that wasn't completely sucked up by the syringe)....
MorandirSir - Not referring to switch issues in this case, but electrochemical. Failing to charge after ~50 cycles. Where the older batteries were good for two or three hundred plus charges, current batteries from (at least) some vendors are good for 50-60ish cycles.
Your part about the microphone based switch threw me off Ms. Addy, again though gotten 200+ charges out of those batts (and with avoiding deep cycling over 300) before death. Wonder if your issues may be because of the chargers. Have you checked the batts to see what they're charging to off load? Anything over 4.25v will greatly shorten their life.
Nope - both chargers check fine. On the O'scope they're actually both quite clean.
I mentioned the switch-type by way of identifying the battery generation. The older [better] batteries may predate you, looking at your join date.

Ms. Addy don't know what to tell you then. Have 28 newer autos from v4l and 8 gen 2 batts from various vendors and haven't had any that have failed under 200 charges. Hopefully a vet comes by who can answer you since my experience isn't good enough.
I wouldn't say "not good enough" - I'd say "not consistent with my experiences, or with the commercial analysis I did on the batteries for a particular vendor".
If they're working that well for you, I must be getting all the bad ones. Not statistically impossible, just improbable. Or someone likes you.
I do thank you for your input and response though! I'll see if anyone else has any further advice before I buy another battery or two and then start weening myself from vaping.

I am sharing the bad ones with you. I've had two go in the last month that were less than one month old and won't hold a charge for longer than 15 minutes or so. And that's just recently.
Not to mention batts that need constant fiddling so they will fire a carto.
My rate is about 1 out of 4 good ones.
Ticket, return, ticket, return. Ad nauseam.
