Default 510 manual batteries with a 7 second cut-off!

I am not enjoying these 510 manual batteries. It seems as if it doesnt let the atty get hot enough, thus not much vapor is produced. I am not new to vaping and this is not normal. My 401 totally blew this thing away and I know that shouldnt be the case. Anyone else have these batteries and experiencing this lacluster vapor production?? I am trying to figure out if its just me...

Not necessarily: my other half has just given away his Titan 510 gear now that manual batteries are available for the 401 (he needed some manual batteries since he's a DJ)

In our experiences, a quality 401 is a far better all-rounder than the 510.

Nevertheless, I haven't heard of a 7 second cut-off with any of the manual batteries.... that seems odd

Which 'brand' of 510 have you got?

It is supposed to be a Joye 510...

I never even got close to 7 seconds. About a 3 second drag gives me a great hit and vapor with 18mg. Are your batteries fully charged?

Yeah, I have charged them fully, 8 hours and still the same thing. I contacted my supplier and he said that he was unaware of this, and was glad I brought it to his attention. He did offer to replace with some that do not cut off, which I really appreciate...

Reading more and more stuff. i am wondering if I got the "new attys" that last longer but stay cooler and if they just arent compatible with the new 7 second cut off batteries. I am trying to troubleshoot this before sending stuff back and costing my supplier. Because I wouldn't mind the second cut off if I could get a good amount of vapor after a few seconds like you do. As it stands right now, I can inhale on this thing for the entire 7 seconds and sstill not get much vapor... So I am wondering if it is the battery or the atty? Both batteries act the same with both attys, so I doubt its a problematic part...

Yup.... same here. It is rare for me to go past 4.. maybe 5 seconds.

I am in the same boat as you. My batteries might last an hour if I am lucky. My boyfriend has the 401 and he has some serious vapor. At first we thought it might have been my juice ( I have menthol) but then he put it in his 401 and he blew me away. I am waiting for my new sideshow to get here and I am praying that it is better than the 510. I just dont know how much longer I can hang with this.
