DSE801 Manual Battery

[myCelia]

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

LOL! Thanks for that tip. Whoda'thunk it? D'oh!

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.

Guess what? All you need to do is go back to Rocky Mountain. They sell an adaptor for like $4 that is specifically for putting on a manual 801 battery to charge in an auto 801 charger. I just picked one up yesterday!!!

I was thinking I was having problems cause the button doesn't stick out far enough but it is NOT that-cause I tried again and there is a definite click when I push it-and I have tried a few things I saw listed in the forum (one was to slightly raise the middle pole on the center of the battery for better contact-also tried plugging into dif usb ports and a wall usb adapter) I just don't get much vapor doing any of these things.
ps-if i feel the outside of the atomizer-most times it is barely warm

Do you have another atomiser that you can try? You might have a bad one, or it might be flooded.

Nope. It ain't user error. Or, if it is, this user is making the same error (and I do just fine with my Prodigy).

I also am disappointed with the performance of the 801 manual battery. I'm enjoying my new atty from RMV, however, and really like the fact that it is stainless steel throughout (without a black band at the battery end). Makes for an elegant look with the all-steel battery. [Now if someone would only come out with a silver-colored mouthpiece (what I've call "The Silver Spoon."]

More than anything is the tremendous service from from RMV. He processed and sent out my order within *2 hours* - at 11 PM his time! It arrived 2 days later.

Sorry. Computer problem. Accidental duplicate.

I'll need to get an auto battery to test against. Compared to the 510 it's more different than it is better or worse. I do wonder though if they're using the 280mah batteries - I'm not convinced that the battery life is actually better than the mini cigs.

hi, just bought 2 manual batteries from ruyandirect for testing. i'm sorry to tell but i'm disappointed. they do not even have the power of an auto-batt. exhale vapour about 1/2 of the vapour with auto-batts (also from ruyandirect) after 4 sec. draw. has anybody made same experience, or did i just get 2 "bad" ones? I like my pens so much and was so hardly looking for good batts (without having to mod) and now...... I was serching for a review in all existing forums around but didn't find anyting.
regards

I have measured the voltage on the manual batteries and it is 3.5V fully charged with no load. The automatic batteries have a terminal voltage of 4.2V fully charged. The lower voltage is, I believe because the manual switch is a "soft" switch and controls a solid state switch in the battery housing which does not have a low enough resistance when turned on. However, I find I can compensate for this by keeping the battery turned on for slightly longer.

Give the fact the the pressure switches in automatic batteries are notoriously unreliable, I plan on only buying only manual batteries in future, depsite the fact that they deliver slightly less power than the automatic ones.

I got my manuals in a few days ago and am loving them so far. Don't have any autos to compare them to but they're worlds better than the 901 manuals I got a few weeks back from Eastmall. The 801 atomizers seem to be a heck of a lot better than the 901s too! I'm loving the 801!!
