Has anyone figured out how to use them?

I tried large one yesterday, sure it gives nice boost while active, but 7 cap boosters burn in 28 seconds, after that you need to choose between 60 seconds of reloading or use without charges, making it not cap efficient.

I thought about setting auto reload off and using old good cap booster in combination with it, but it eats cap too fast.
running 2 of them together, using 1 while other reloads is also pretty much impossible because of high cpu usage and long reload time.

So how to use them?

I don't think it's meant to be a continual thing that you use all the time while in a fight, it's one of those things you use to give yourself an extra boost when things get really bad and you need to eek out a few more seconds of surviving to take down that High DPS ship, or get that guy scrambling you so you can warp out, not a replacement for normal active/passive tank
