(12,194 posts)My SO and I started out the the 808s. They weren't bad, but we had to charge them far more often than we were happy with. Normal 808s have something like a 280 mah capacity, and we just got so burned out on the battery shuffle.
We moved up, to a slightly larger 808, which was slightly better, but still left us doing the battery shuffle.
What we have now, is...1200 mah on mine, and 1300 mah on hers, which is pretty decent duration, but still semi-frequent charging. We were heavy heavy smokers.
I'm patiently waiting for one of these to come back into stock:

With one of those, I can set wattage, and forget it when swapping between tanks with coils of different resistance levels. And, I can run batteries between 2000 and 3000 mah, for long term vaping without charging.
FWIW, do you refill your own cartos? If so, I'd strongly and highly recommend vermillion river e-juice out of MN, theirs tastes so so good, and is very clean. I vape cinnamon Danish flavor as my all day vape, and it is delicious.
Switching from smoking to vaping has definitely been a learning and trial and error experience, and its sad that so many seem eager to stamp it out, or treat it like smoking, without really knowing the facts involved with it. If they only knew how effective it was compared to the patch or other alternatives...
