Long term obviously. Difference in capacity and wattage will greatly vary short term battery life.
However assuming daily use and no damage to the cells how long before capacity starts to drop off rapidly?
Obviously people vape at different rates so I'll give you an estimate of my usage.
I have 2 cells, one a vapcell and the other a molicell. [tangent] A note on the vapcells is to avoid the ones from amazon. I ordered two along with my mod, one came undervolted, the replacement came undervolted, the third came at the correct voltage. A 50% success rate isn't exactly good, unless I just got a bad batch. [/tangent] The molicell is because I got one while waiting for the replacement vapcell, I just kept it in my mod.
This adds up to 5.1Ah, I would go through about 3/4 to a full charge (sometimes more, sometimes less) in a day. I usually top the cells up at about 50% charge using a powerbank (there's less that can go wrong when using a powerbank as it's going to give pure DC, no noise and no voltage dips or spikes), I vape at 75W 0.18Ohms (roughly 3.7V).
Its been about 5 months. I think the cells are draining faster. They seemed to drain really rapidly today however the powerbank (10Ah) read 0% and wasn't at 100% when I picked it up. I don't remember exactly what it read but it's got a 7 segment display and I might have read it upside down (eg reading 18 as 81). However they seemed to drain more quickly over the past week.
I went ahead and ordered two new molicells from a more reputable company (Fogstar) anyway. After all, backup cells are good.
Anyway is 5-6 months an expected lifetime before they start losing capacity or was that quick?
