i must say , i love the "new microchip" batteries , i have one on my penstyle and i can take a long easy slow drag with no cut off in sight , maybe mine is a newer model i don't know

Some people seem to be able to use them, some don't. In Parked's video review of the Janty Dura C you can see the technique he uses on the automatic Dura batteries to stop it cutting off. The same thing works for these.

Just wanted to add my opinion. The only device I've ever vaped on (for now

) is the Intellicig EVO, a M401 model, that features the electronic switch. I've been cycling 2 batteries for more than 5 weeks now, and I love how those works. I randomly hit the cutoff, but... maybe once in 50 drags? They are consistent, always working, and stay charged long enough to get me through the whole day hassle-free. The electronic switch simply works to me.

Also, I do think that with those you can't get the sticky-switch problem that some users are reporting, am I right with this?

Papa Lazarou · 03-13-2009, 12:30 AM

No you can't get the "stuck" switch problem with this type really. No moving part to stick. You do find there are some other issues though. Loud noises set them off, and also strong winds.

I also had the same problem with 801 batteries from Heaven Gifts with the new sensor.

These batteries are not as suited to the 801 but work very well in Mini's. I love the sensitivity but I have not experienced the old-school type so have nothing else to compare with.

My die-off fixed itself after the first charge, they definitely have a break in period but all have come good bar one. An advantage is that with the right technique you can puff and let the light go for a half second then resume with zero effort (sensitivity taken full advantage of) and then vape right through the 5 second cut off provide you do it right.

With my 801 the die-off only returns just before the battery light blinks when depleted.

Heaven Gifts is returning to the old style I am told because of similar negative feedback.

a long, slow, steady draw is the key in these shltty switches...

TommyGunBC · 03-13-2009, 11:31 AM

I found out a good technique for the new batteries today , like Papa Laz posted above watched parked's review on the janty dura-c and you will get the hang of it . it does work great on the Mini I sold one I had ordered to a friend and he didn't like it much at all gave him one of my old style batterys to try and he was coughing he got such a good hit I tried his new battery on my 901 and used my newly learend technique and got a better draw and more vapor. I showed him what to do and he caught on quick and is satisfied for now. But I still like the more realistic draw of the old mechanical switch batteries but can deal with the new electromagnetic ones for the time being when I need to use them .

on a side note whooooooo hooooooo 50 days analog free !!! can't belive I would have puffed back more than 1000 analogs f'n gross!!!!!!!

What volt's are the 901 batteries ? Have not had one to go bad yet to take a part.
