Do you also have a 7 second cut off with your manual batteries? (it starts blinking and cuts off after 7 seconds)??

Default *update*

So, after getting in my new atty and passthru and what not, I think I have figured out the issue. It was not the batteries as I originally thought. I think I just happened to get a few bum attys, which does happen and is no ones fault. The 7 second cut off is not even an issue now, because I am not hitting it with my new atty. I wanted to let everyone know not to worry about the batteries, because they are fine and I just had some bad luck with some attys. I am a vaping machine right now, and even hit it a few times with so much vapor it nearly choked me!

Just to clarify, your battery still has a 7-second cutoff, but it's not a problem now that you've got a decent atty, correct?

My 510 manual will go on forever if I let it. My Sidesho manual has a 7-sec cutoff though, but I never make it to the cutoff.

My innovapor manuals (purple led) have a 5-6 second cut off and then a 20 second period you can't use them if they do go over that limit so that was pretty bad until I found out that all I do is let go of the button for just a second and press it again and it starts the timer again so it was annoying at first but I'm used to it now...

Default WTF these DO have timers!

I just got off the phone with Clay at Innovapor and he did confirm that ALL of their new 510 manual batteries have cutoffs. They can ask their manufacturer to change the cutoff time to any number of seconds, or no time limit. They chose to switch to timed batts so they wouldn't be sued by stupid people who get their skin burned by an overheated atomizer in their pocket. He said I could get one's with no cutoff, but I'ld have to buy at least 50! That's at a price of $580! Otherwise, there is NO WAY they can supply "no timer" atty's to me. LAME!

I don't like resetting the timer by letting off the button as I feel it is unnatural and takes much more breath (as you have to hold your breath for a full second to reset the timer). BTW I can use mine only 7 seconds after the cutoff is triggered, not 20 seconds. That would REALLY suck!

If anyone on here knows where to get 510 batts that have no cutoff PLEASE let me know. Also, do any other "super" batteries work with the 510 attys? Screwdriver?

Well good thing they don't sell analogs then, the danger of burns is even more with those.

I didn't order more batteries from them after I got the ones with the cutoff.

Nope, 20 seconds and they cut out, they work for near an hour hour and a half before an hour or so recharge. As for how many seconds I draw, I never thought of it until this thread, so it's between 10-15 seconds , nice slow draw. You get the feel for it in your throat after a while.

I shouldn't say it, but everything i have here is from more then a month ago, everything is still working as it did the day I opened it. Of course, now that I have gone and opened my mouth about it, things will surely take a turn to the south.

I think Cignot has them in stock, and Totally Wicked has "Mega" batts that last longer (they're a bit bigger).

My Chuck (pictured in my avatar) has a 510 connector (I have 901 and 801 adapters), and you can also get it in 901 or 801 (I think most people choose 510). Not sure about other battery mods, but there are adapters for the ones that default to 801 or other sizes.
