hi all, I have taken the plunge and getting a mod (ikarus hybrid) and wondering about battery life on a 18350...how long will this last on average with being used at around 12-15 analogs a day and rest in pocket? people say the time in hours but is that just pure vape hours or idle hours? Also been reading a lot about kicks.. would like to get one but evolv pretty pricey, anyone used the smoketech one? maybe untill i save for an evolv! TIA

A typical 18350 is 800maH which is equivalent to an Innokin itaste v3, and I vaped using two of them when I started. I used to charge each one on a daily basis and get about 150 puffs from each (they have a counter). I came from a 15 to 20 untipped rollies per day habit. You will need a spare battery, but they are quite small.
Can't comment on the kick.
Edit: Just an afterthought. My device was regulated and I ran it at about 8 or 9 watts. If you run your mod unregulated there will be a different battery life.

I only use 18350 size mods and carry one in the mod, and four spares, just in case. (Massive flood or nuclear winter or something, I also carry a spare mod, spare Protank head, a few cartos and a small bottle of juice. Just in case) During a full day I probably get through four or five, but I change them regularly so they never actually go flat. I also chain vape at work and at home.

I only use 18350's, when i was using purely my k100 1battery would last the day.
Now iv moved to the svd being my main vape i go through 2 a day, so id say it depends on the mod :\
