Sealed MANUAL 801 Battery Now Available!

**DonDaBoomVape** · 07-31-2009, 04:17 AM

I just stumbled onto this. It was mentioned, almost in passing, in this thread.

I checked out the Ruyan Direct / Heaven Gifts site and yes indeed: a Sealed MANUAL 801 Battery being sold for $9.00. Available in matte black or stainless steel. It may very well be available elsewhere, but I haven't checked further (this is the only China supplier I've ever dealt with).

[NOTE: It will not work with the charger for your 801 auto battery. You would have to purchase either the "charging adapter for DSE801 manual battery" or "USB Charger for DSE801 manual battery." Each is being sold for $3.50.]

I don't know anything about it (beyond what it says on their website): whether it is the greatest gift from heaven (so to speak

) or a piece of garbage or (most likely) somewhere in between.

Ironically, I'm waiting for delivery of an 801 auto battery I had ordered from them.

I encourage others to post more information as it comes in, e.g., other suppliers, background stories, and ASAP personal experience using it.

I have two on the way from Ruyan. I will let you know how they work out. I neglected to get the charger but will be ordering again soon. I have used the autos and am not impressed. About the same as any other 801 auto, I guess. However, the 801 atty they sell---it will choke you---tons of vapor. Their service is great and their replacement warranties are fantastic. I am waiting on replacements now and did not even have to send in the bad stuff first. This is the only place I will buy from if I have a choice. Oh, I am getting their e-juice, too. I know their mint is smooth but I am going to try other flavors. My order should be here tomorrow.

You guys, that is great news, the thing that made me switch to a Janty Stick was those darned 801 batteries, went through them like crazy, at $14 a crack. Loved my 801 but Love My Janty Stick too! (Batteries $3.20!)

Nice work, John. I was waiting to see how long it would take for the 801 manual batteries to get to the US suppliers -- not very long as it turns out. I was going to order them through Eastmall or Heaven's Gifts but RMV will provide me with faster gratification. <g>

For me, learning of the 801 manual battery was big news! I was surprised (and disappointed) that for a couple days no one had responded.

Thanks to you folks for doing so!

Bean, please do let us know how they work out. [Of course without a charger, you may not be using them for awhile.

I agree with you about Ruyan's attys (at least based on the one that I've gotten from them thus far) ... about Ruyan overall (including their inexpensive and tasty juice) ... and about the 801 in general. Like Kate, I love my big battery container (in my case Prodigy, with 801 adapter), but sometimes (especially when I'm out and about) I enjoy the elegant look, smoothness* and flavor from my 801 penstyle.

* The fact that it doesn't have much throat hit is appealing to me sometimes, e.g., when I vape 0mg sweet-tooth flavors (my favorite so far is Butter Rum).

John, thank you for the info on Rocky Mountain Vapor! Their prices are higher, but that Free Shipping makes up for it. And, as Richie pointed out, their U.S. location makes for faster receipt. Also, they are one of the very few U.S. suppliers that meets my personal benchmark for e-liquid prices: 50 cents/ml (Ruyan transends my benchmark, but there is that postage).

Recently I've participated in co-op orders from Ruyans organized by CyberWolf (a South Florida neighbor) - it cuts the shipping costs down to domestic shipping size (other than RMV, of course).

Let's share our experiences with the 801 manual during the weeks to come.

Perhaps someday someone will come out with a PCC for the 801. That would be neat. Of course, it might be a kind of big.

Soooooooo........whats the verdict people??? Are they better than the autos?

**Hellen A. Handbasket** · 10-12-2009, 04:06 AM

They are! It is wonderful not to have to worry about liquid running into the battery. No more sticking internal switches! Heaven on a stick. Ha.

That said, one thing that is noticible... the voltage seems to be less. Probably because of the switch. The auto pumps out more vapor than the manual. Not tons more, but it is noticible.

The other issue is the buttons weren't made right on the first run of them, and I lost a few. The supplier sent me a bunch of replacements that were made better (taller, and stay in the unit better, almost like the 510 button is). The 801 passthroughs were the same button (and I lost a few of those too).

Still, I wouldn't go back to the auto.
