Don't discharge that battery too low (<2.5V), you will decrease its life cycle or damage it to a point of binning. Rather wait until you have your charger in hand.

Usually when my bateries stop firing my coil effectively (at 0.2 - 0.4 ohm) it measures around 3.65V. You can get a nice, cheap and small tester from Builder's Warehouse for R120. Uni-T makes a nice pocket sized one I keep in my vape box.

@kelly22 Here is a great thread to read, short and sweet but packed with great info. - http://www.ecigssa.co.za/flat-battery-staying-flat.t6790/

About your setup though, what coil and battery are you running?

I'm usually these days between 0.1 and 0.2ohm coils, and I have tested when my mech doesn't fire anymore it measures between 2.7V and 2.9V. The flavour disappears before the clouds, so if the flavour goes down I change clouding or not. I keep 2 bats on charge permanently and swop out when ever I walk past and there's a full one, this way I usually have a full flavoured vape.
