loud music killing batteries?

It's a trade off, if you couldn't light the tip when blowing gently then you would have to suck like a pornstar to get a draw from it.

Who says I don't?



Also, not all subwoofer enclosures are ported

I have some batterys that just come on when moved, no loud noises, no wind, just pick them up. Some switches are more sinative than others. I only take the ones that work correctly with me to the Casinos or my atomizers get burned up. I can sometimes get them to stop doing it, but its hard to explain. I wiggle somthing inside the battery untill it quits doing it with a unfolded paper clip.

Wow, wish I'd known this before I'd ordered mine. I vape at my manufacturing job constantly and there is no avoiding loud noises there. Looks like I might need to test out Puresmokers 14 day return policy Damn.

You should try it first. I had no problems at all in a sports bar, with pool tables, Foosball, and 300 people shouting over the music. Only the "disco" bar caused great problems.

Unless they have dance music cranked at your job, rotfl

i haven't been out to a bar with it yet, but i've had it sitting on my desk while playing Half Life 2, and loudly.

also blared some music and held it to the speakers and it didn't set it off. i moved it down by my sub and nothing either.

It's definitely not noise in general, it's anything that applies the right amount of pressure to the switch. My battery was strobing to the drumbeat last night, maybe even the bass, but the place I was at has terrible acoustics and the band playing was this loud-as-hell surf band.

All I know is my EVO has been demoted to house duty only, my pen goes on the road. I think it will work out better that way, anyhow, considering cart size and need for topping off/maintenance.

[Terraphon]

Yep.

I can't use the evo with official evo batteries in my car. I have a battery that has a stiff switch, which I only use for dripping. That's the one I use when I'm on the road.

Once I get another e-cig, that'll be my car companion and I'll use the EVO when the bigger cig isn't convenient.

That's true, but there is a trade off with sealed subs - the cabs I built were for Bass Guitar rigs where size, or lack of it, was not vital.
Sealed enclosures usually have higher power handling and smoother response than ported cabs, but they do not have the low response capabilities of ported enclosures and require more power from amp and speaker. Sealed enclosures tend to roll off (lose output power) below 60hertz whereas a single port cab can highlight a certain frequency according to the volume of the port and the size of the cab. This gives the speaker and cab a wider range and covers down to 40hertz, even lower if required if you use 'high order' enclosures with multiple ports. My designs aimed for an even percieved response across as wide a frequency range as possible. If you're into cab design/building, grab a freeware program called WinISD from LinearTeam You can experiment with it to design cabs or check compatibility of drivers before you spend lots of money buying them. All you need are the Thiele Small parameters for the driver which should be available on the manufacturer's spec sheet.

i haven't left my house this weekend, hehe, but on a personal note i'm going to the movies later, so i'll take it with me in the car. i don't have a loud stereo, but i have a tiny, noisy Acura Integra. i'll try with the windows and the sunroof and see if i can activate my new Pilot batteries.

i'll have my EVO by monday, so i'll try with those too in a few days and see if i get the same results as the others with their EVO.

sweet! thanks, cant wait to hear your results as i am still deciding on a pilot vs a 901

Here's my answer from the other thread, pasted.

-------------------

I actually consider it somewhat of a problem in the design...definitely a concern.

I have been driving down the street, grabbed my evo and had the atomizer be VERY hot in my hand and, on more than one occasion saw it light up so hot that it was glowing red through the mouthpiece...That was before I learned about the music thing.

Yes, it's manageable but it is a bit of a pain in the butt. I've been thinking about getting a switch activated cig for car use and keeping my evos broken down whilst in the car to stop them blowing out my atomizers while I drive / listen to music. Fortunately, I'm only on the road ~20 mins each way to work so it's not a HUGE issue but it certainly could be for some.

Also, my intellicig batteries are SO sensitive that I can blow on the tip (the led end) and light up the atomizer...and I don't even have to blow very hard to make it happen (less force than required to blow out a single birthday candle...IF it was 2 inches from your face).

On the good side, though, the pull on them is phenomenal. I've just had learn to change my habits a bit so as not to burn them up.

Hello, Which battery do you have? The mighty atom or the Genie? Are they both just as sensitive? Do you know if the Genie is new and maybe less sensitive?And if the battery nukes the evo completely will intellicig give you a new one under a warranty?
