Update............ battery readings taken straight across the six 18650s in parallel
Day 1. 4.18V .....4.14V loaded
Day 2. 4.08V......4.05V loaded
Day 3. 4.03V......4.00V loaded (thought it would be less, possibly because I had to put a new battery in the multimeter?)
Day 4  3.97V......3.93V loaded

Day 5  3.92V......3.88V loaded

Updated - Saturday Day 5.....................going well

After 4 days average vaping we`ve lost less than 0.3V on the batteries   Readings taken directly from the batteries.

Just getting 4 of the 5 "power remaining" lights lit now. I dont think it is a very accurate indication though, gotta be less than that.

Update............ battery readings taken straight across the six 18650s in parallel. "Loaded" means with atty in use.
Day 1. 4.18V .....4.14V loaded
Day 2. 4.08V......4.05V loaded
Day 3. 4.03V......4.00V loaded thought it would be less, possibly because I had to put a new battery in the multimeter?
Day 4. 3.97V......3.93V loaded
Day 5. 3.92V......3.88V loaded indicator down to 80%
Day 6. 3.87V......3.83V loaded I owe it 6 hours - out power washing all day, gave me a chance to try out my MVP, excellent device . Still indicating 80% on th power bank.

How are you getting so long robbie, if one 18650 would last us a day times 6 equals 6 to 7days. Seems like your on for 2 weeks at least. Vape more and less time on fast tech lol

I get about a day and a half out of a Panasonic 3000mah Bluefish. I am not getting the same hit as usual out of the Atty, but it is fine, used to it now . I dont really want to wack the USB adapter all the way up. I have tried it and it works fine though. I suspect the 80% thing isnt very accurate, gotta be less than that

They are 2900mah batteries though Bluefish, and I get 2 days easily on my eVic at 9 watts on a 3400mah battery. So 2 weeks would be about right (for me anyway) I don't know if robby vapes more than I do.

I reckon I am probably at the 8 or 9 watt range as well with this set up matt1988, maybe vape a little more than you, but could be a little less on this setup as I have the top off so I can measure voltages etc and go about the rest of the household stuff without anything, so I probably am vaping a bit less.

Okey dokey, so I would say 12 days normal vaping, but due to you using it less than a normal pv, you could be up to15 16 days, we shall see, crack on robbie.

One thing that has surprised me is the very low power loss with it in it`s quiescent state, I dont turn it off when I am awake at all, I thought there would have been a lot more loss than there has been.

Have you been using the same resistance on the output device?, I understand that any battery would take longer to bring a 2.5ohm device up to the required heat than say a 1.5ohm.
