As for "I was serching for a review in all existing forums around but didn't find anyting." - I think you just posted one. [Run it through a spell checker

and you could post it as a new thread.] Thank you for that report, albeit a disappointing one.

Darn! I just placed my order (for just one, fortunately) with Rocky Mountain Vapor. Hopefully (for me), you just got two lemons. I'll let you know when it arrives.

Question: Was this your first experience with a manual switch? For example, I wonder if that is the issue with micro's dissatisfaction with the manual passthrough.

Me too. The same weak batt power with the passthroughs. I wrote a review to ruyandirect already with both issues (passthrough and manual). He will be looking after to improve.
I will always keep my pens (got tons of them....). It was my first e-cig that helped quit completely analogs.

Thanks for your comprehension, I know my english is quite bad in writing.
To answer your question: I made quite a lot experience with all kinds of manual switches and passthroughs with- and without manual switches especially for pens, they all have no "power" at all compared to the automatic b's. Sad but true...

This is terrible news. I've got 2 manual batts and a manual passthrough coming in the mail from ruyandirect. I hope your batteries are a fluke and that you can get replacements.

My manual 901 batts from Eastmall have been hit or miss. Out of the first two, one was excellent and the other was DoA. I'm guessing the replacement was sort of a prototype (it's not sealed) and produces noticiably less vapor than the original good one(sealed).

Hi Donbolduser
I am fairy new to this-a few weeks, but my first e cig was a 510 and no problem whatsoever using the manual.

I think I figured out part or all? of my problem with the manual usb for the 801-not sure this is the whole problem...
the button doesn't stick out very far on my manual 801 passthru-the button on my 510 sticks out at least twice as far and very easy to press. I don't know if thats the same for the manual 801 batteries-just speaking about the passthru.

absolutely correct! I can compare it with the same e-cigs (a.i. 510/801) with the manuals for 801 you do not seem to feel whether you push or not because they are quite flat. I tried to push down as hard as possible and watched/listned the atty burning. but for the missing power atty seems not to get warm enough to produce vapour. this in my opinion though.

So are you guys saying that the problem is user error alone? That would be a relief if that were the case.

I got an 801 manual battery and manual battery passthrough from rocky mountain vapor. The manual passthrough works great but I haven't been able to try the manual battery yet because, silly me, I didn't realize it needed a different charger than the wall charger I have for my automatic battery.

I'm still trying to find a wall charger for the manual battery (U.S. only) but anyway, I just ordered the auto/manual battery USB charger from rocky mountain today. I notice that the button on the passthrough manual battery is raised a bit higher than the manual battery, but both make a noticeable click when pressed and released. I'm getting good vapor action from my passthrough too. On this count, I don't notice any difference between it and the automatic.

okay i got 2 manuals for the 801, from rocky mountain (which by the way they are great to deal with)...unfortunately i will only use these for reserve, i'm not happy with them.....the auto definatley works better......sigh..

think i'm going to order the 510 for my manual needs, with that said i do love my 801 auto!

In the meantime just pop the rubber button off and use your old auto battery charger.
