How long till you needed to replace your battery?

[fishguy1123]

Want to hear how long your battery lasted till you "needed" to raplace your battery? I'm looking at the Vision spinner or Ego twist style around 900-1000mah range. Since I'm still doing reaserch before I get into vapeing I'd like to see what you vets have experienced. Thanks

My ego twists seem to last around 6 months before they start getting weak.

Wow, Mark, you must be hard on your batteries. I just checked my account at The Veteran Vaper where I got my very first variable voltage battery:

Order #404

Order Date: 9th Sep 2012

Your Order Contains:

• 1 x Joye eGo USB Charger
• 1 x Joye eGo-C Twist 1000mAh Battery - Matte Black

It still works great! No slowing down in sight, although I must admit I use my Vision Spinners more. They were ordered about a month after I got the Twist and are still chugging right along.

My joye twist 1000mah lasted about 9 months with heavy use

Most of mine are at least a year old. I've only had one break...and it was my fault.

I still have my original eGo batteries. Still hold a charge and work well. Those are at least 2 years old. Now that I said that, one will probably die. lol

You just peaked my curiosity so I got out the very second battery I ever bought: an eGo 650 passthrough. Popped a Davide mini on it and...it works like a charm! This one was bought nearly two years ago.

ETA: How strange. My Davide mini works better -- as in I'm getting a better draw, more vapor, better flavor -- than on my Vision Spinners. Huh. Sometimes it's best to go back to the simpler things.

I'm still using a Riva 650 batt from three years ago and it still lasts longer then my eGo 650 battery that's only a few months old.

As I get older, my days and years run together. The original eGo batteries are actually older than 2 years. Probably closer to 3 years.

I also have a eGo PT, the larger version (1000?), closer to the 2 years old. The thing will not die. I didn't use it as a PT much, it made my computer act strangely. I also had the same experience that you had not too long ago with an Evod tank. Awesome! I have an old box of LR cartos that I will be using with that battery.

As a side note, I cracked my first tank today. Pretty sure it wasn't the fault of the current liquid. Can't remember what I had in there last. I have a feeling it was due to dropping. Really had to take a good look at it, almost thought a cat hair ended up in the tank. But a milestone in itself!

Haven't lost one yet over 10 months in.

I've got Joye eGo batteries I bought when they first came out almost 4 years ago that charge up and perform well to this day. I've only a couple die over the years and all but 1 suffered an instant death. The 1 just slowly faded away. I have several twists and have only had 1 fail because it suffered a hard drop and the button jammed.

Have I used those original eGo's everyday for almost 4 years? No. When I did use them exclusively I had several in rotation. In the last few months I've started using them again because they're very pocketable for work and travel. I can't see myself carting around what appears to be a large 'marital aid' when I'm at work or other settings.

Thanks everyone! That sounds encourageing for sure.
