Mech Mod Battery Life

So far I've been vaping steadily on my hana clone every day, but I'm planning to pick up a mech, some batteries, and a charger soon. I was curious about the battery life i can expect for each of the battery sizes (especially when out and about), so I did some research (posted below) using the Steam Engine website.

For those thinking of going the mech route, this might be useful/interesting.

And for those who already use mechs, can you please let me know:
a. if these battery life estimates are about right
b. if my anticipated setups are not good (ex: maybe you'd recommend against a 1ohm rda setup on a mech).

So below is what I've found. It assumes the following:

- 18350 is AW brand at 700 mah
- 18490 is AW brand at 1100 mah
- 18650 is VTC5 at 2600 mah
- wattage is based on fully charged battery
- 1 vape session includes 15 5-second hits

Seems to be in the right ball park.
I only use mechs, so have no idea what a regulated mod is like, but I use 0.7 Ohms in an RDA, up to 1.5 Ohms sometimes.
1.1/1.2 seems to give me the best flavour, but I'm learning all the time.

 

I'm very impressed with that interesting analysis of battery stats mate. But smitty I think you might be getting a PM from Siam Diesel soon . . . "way too much free time on your hands!"
